Wolverine

Despite my love of the wolverine and Hugh Jackman, "Wolverine" is an unnecessary installment for the X- Men story. "Wolverine" was way too long, so long I actually left the theatre for a beverage which I really hate doing, but I just needed a break from mumbling Huge Jacked Man.

The film starts with the wolverine in a cave in Alaska, why, I'm not quite sure. He soon realizes he has been followed by a small annoying Asian girl who was sent by her employer to fetch the wolverine. We find out her employer is a Japanese man who was saved by wolverine during a nuclear bomb that hit Nagasaki during the war.

We are then forced to watch wolverine/ the Alaskan cave man fly to a future Japan where he reunites with Yashida  who is now a big CEO of a technology company in Japan. His dying wish is to see the Wolverine one last time; to thank him for saving his life and to make him an offer he cant resist; mortality. At this point in the film we know Wolverine is deeply unhappy with his life and wishes it would end so he can end his suffering. He declines, but soon realizes he may not have a choice. With the help of his female sidekick Yukio, he must fight his way out of Japan while dealing with the emotions of falling for  Yashida's granddaughter.

The reason the film only gets a 2 out of 4 stars is because it was just too long and drawn out. Also, the film was really unnecessary and the plot really destroys our favorite character in ways that don't quite make sense. This films highlights why most superhero films suck, it forces you to believe the absolutely unbelievable for the sake of the plot. Marvel, just let us enjoy our 20 minutes of Wolverine in the next film and show us some more variety please.
