Wolverine isn't for kids anymore.

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2013)

The Trailer and the Movie are worlds apart. This movie feels like a wolverine movie.
Do some of the characters come off as cheesy? yes. Viper is hard to take seriously. but... does the movie deliver? its pretty gory for a movie trying to sell toys. It really sets wolverine up to be almost a zombie. In a sense that if he has his healing factor, you better get creative on how to kill the Mofo. Cause it ain't going to be easy.
We see wolverine dealing with a lot more than he has ever had to deal with in this movie. Losing his healing factor is just one of the many things. PTWS is another. Jean plays a great role in showing us that Logan is dealing with suicidal thoughts after killing his lover and seeing his professor explode.
I guess they actually try to get you to see his personality. Which is hard to do, cause at wolverines most truest, he is an IMMORTAL GYPSY. There is a scene in the beginning of the film that deals with a grizzly... it really makes an effort to get you to understand Logans character.
Now... what fans will complain about. Never suits up. Silver Samurai is a Mecha and totally butchered the origin. Some fight scenes are cut short while some drama character developing scenes seem to drag on. (which is one of my favorite parts about this movie). and the movie just does not feel like a superhero flick. It feels like a superhero drama.
which i loved about it. Darren Aronofsky was suppose to direct this originally.. I am not sure if he had any influence on the script but... I could see him directing this movie. It was dark, and violent, there was blood on claws! (never thought I would be excited about that)
and Wolverine drops the F bomb once (cause you can only drop it once before getting an R rating).
so... this was the best Wolverine we will get on screen for a while. Hugh was pushing for this kind of a movie, he has wanted an almost R rated wolverine forever, it was his push for Darren Aronofsky to direct it. I have to give Hugh credit for knowing that the fans think wolverine is a violent, Clint Eastwood type of wander and trying to figure out to be that on screen and still sell toys to kids for fox's greedy execs.
I think if that is the goal... the team nailed it.
The Wolverine: B+
