THE WOLVERINE

I was disappointed in this movie. It paled in comparison to the others in this series. It was too much Hugh Jackman (as marvelous as he is) groaning and grunting. Outside of the bad guys and 2 Japanese women (both of whom were lovely and passive and not screechy or annoying), it was all Wolverine which became tiresome.

The story was unoriginal and dull; no cleverness at all.
There was no humor which was present in all the other films.

And too many sword fights. Plus Wolverine's claws were out way too often.

The movie ended with an unabashed lead-in to the next film in line. But given the men who were in the airport telling the Wolverine of "dark forces", the next movie should have some nice group dynamics.

We both gave this film a 7.
