Should be sharper

Rating: 6/10 (3 August 2013)

With the X Men trilogy done. 20th Century Fox did not want to let their franchise sit on its laurels and took an opportunity with their most popular character, Wolverine to have its own spin off film.
Now all they needed was a story.
They go for the Wolverine/Sabretooth rivalry but from the beginning it seems to be all too predictable with a big red hand pointing to any twists in the plot.
Even the music gives you a nod as to what will happen next. I love a dumb action film, but this was just too dumb.
Jackman is comfortable in the role of Wolverine, helped by a big pay cheque. Schreiber is animalistic enough as the vengeful Sabretooth and you have enough star cameos here there to keep things moving.
Danny Huston, plays the younger version of Stryker and he is suitably chilling.
Keep a look out for Wade Wilson, I think he will be back.
