Not Bad (among Wolverine movies)

Rating: 7/10 (17 April 2014)

The love for Hugh Jackman aside, this is easily the most profound Wolverine movie (profound in a Marvel comic sense, that is) that had been shot and produced. The film was quite well-balanced between action and character building; it depicted how the tragic hero battled mortality and his own dark demons whilst also slicing open the chests (and other body parts) of countless opponents with ease and grace.
The rhetoric: is it really good to get what one (believes) one craves and yearns for? I think the movie did a pretty job of illustrating that point. One drawback (spoilers warning!) - I dislike the way they tainted the friendship which lasted half a century. Another comment (spoilers again!) - I really don't feel too comfortable with the bone claws (which according to Marvel will be here to stay for a while yet) so am eagerly looking forward to the next X- Men movie.
