The Wolverine Review

The superhero film Genre in the previous few years has seen revolution at a remarkable pace. Movies like Superman, Batman and Spider man were rebooted successful that garnered huge success both at the box office and from Critics, at least the first two did. X-Men is another film that was liked by many film goers back in the day, many new X-men movies have been made following its first trilogy series going further to explain unexplained events from history and characters. The latest X-Men movie that explores the character of Logan that is to say Wolverine.

The Wolverine has been directed by James Mangold, a movie that portrays Hugh Jackman in a standalone role, no X-Men or anything else. James should be appreciated to put him out there on screen alone without support from any of X-Men members, which as compared to Iron Man, Thor or Captain America is a difficult feat to achieve. This standalone story is appreciable but all the same one has to admit that it lacks some charisma that was there in the X-Men series. What is even more frustrating is that nothing is wrong in this flick acting on part of Jackman is great as always, he dose deliver that dark pathos perfectly with which his fans identify themselves but still there is nothing more to it then just his intense Dreams and his anger filled fights.

The plot of the film starts right after the third installment of X-Men Trilogy series, Jean Grey is dead and Logan holds himself responsible as seen in his intense dreams. The story is based on a man named Yashida who happens to be the most Powerful man, aged and dying Yashida (who was once saved by Logan in Nagasaki atomic Bomb explosion during WW2) calls out to Logan via Yukia the teleporter. When Logan visit Yashida, he makes a request to Logan for his immortality which is obviously turned down. Yashida dies and at his funeral a gangster squad tries to abduct Mariko who is Yashida's granddaughter, and then ... wait! now i cant  tell you the whole story, can I ? you will have to see the rest of it yourself.

what i can tell you is that it will be really worth to spare some time to watch the movie, but then again i must say that to me Jackman as wolverine is perfect but still he will do allot more well being with other fellow mutants from X-Men.
