The Wolverine – watched this movie with Miss Klein & Mel Jag the other day. Hugh Jackman was awesome (everyone knows that this lone wolf is at his best when he is actually venting out his anger and frustration; preferably by slashing people with his adamantium claws) but this movie sucks big time. I prefer the earlier movie back in 2009; it was much more better. This story line was so – so. The set-up was in Japan; where there are many ninjas, yakuza gangsters and other vile baddies. The only better scenes were the polished fighting on top of the Japanese fast bullet train and scenes where Hugh Jackman was impressive in the role; adept at both of the action sequences and the quieter moments. Also watchable was Rila Fukushima as Yukio, a tiny woman (who dressed like a Japanese Manga anime) who wields a samurai blade like its part of her. There are many flaws here too – and one of them is a blah romance – I don’t understand why the producers have to insert this part into the movie. No chemistry between the leads. But the Japanese actress Tao Okamoto who plays the character Mariko is surely a pretty chick. This Wolverine movie didn’t bring the house down and it certainly did not deliver the WOW factor that it should be.
