Plot seemed to go off the rails half way through

Rating: 6/10 (17 April 2015)

*****Contains spoilers******* I was really enjoying this film (well quite enjoying it) until about the time Logan pulled the spidery thingy out of his chest. The plot with the estranged boyfriend was fine, and it looked like the yakuza/father/green woman (what the heck ARE her powers??) villain plot was going to work out perfectly OK. Then it seems to me that there was a collective Hollywood-style ambush with some exec deciding that Wolverine MUST get the girl, there must be a criminal lair and the old guy who was the pull to get Logan to Japan must in fact go against his previous nobility and be a 'supervillain'. In fact they just decided 'we liked the ending of Iron Man 1 - let's just do that'. The last scene was utterly anti-climatic for me, and after the spider scene and as Logan got to the town next to the lair, I turned to my wife and said: "I've quite enjoyed it but we appear to be heading for a b*****ks ending". And we did. I tend to agree with the plot-holers in the highly rated reviews, but all that could be overlooked without the story going somewhat off the rails. Ah well...
