Wolverine Review
This movie is a refreshing change from the recent trend of epic flashy superhero movies - don’t get me wrong those movies have their place but it’s nice to have a break. This is less sterile, grittier. Stylistically it’s much more reminiscent of Highlander than say Spiderman, which makes it feel more organic. There was the odd trite bit like Logan’s Klingon death howl but such instances were rare.
CGI was a little over-used in my opinion but that was only a minor distraction. It’s a rare thing to see a film shot in BC as BC which was nice. I have no complaints on the acting front; the primaries do their usual first-rate job. Ryan Reynolds was a particularly bright beacon of enjoyment which made his character arc all the more tragic.
Overall it’s a movie with a story to tell and it focused on that successfully.
