★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7/10)
Had a soft spot for Wolverine ever since witnessing the X-Men series so I had high hopes for this movie. Everything was pretty smooth except a few things that bugged the slight inner perfectionist in me (which I will go on about later). First off I am no fan of any X-Men comics and I only know what's going on in their world through a screen so everything is first impression since the first X-Men film. It was good to finally see the origin of Wolverine and how he came to be (the man). I had no intentions to read the comics coz the original Wolverine is so different in yellow tights. That is the original in any X-Men fan but I only know the Wolverine from the film and that will be the only Wolverine I'll know, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. In this film Hugh Jackman's got this serious Man thing going on that'll turn any bloke gay if he's got a drop of homo in him. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is probably the reason why most of the people watched this film.
The plot was a bit predictable, the traditional hero type flick and the CG was actually a bit off this time. The CG environment and effects were all good. Modern, today type stuff. There's just something wrong with Wolverines claw that doesn't make sense in many ways. The before and after (for those who knows) and how it's really suppose to look like if those claws busted out from between your knuckles etc etc. Maybe that's what made it look fake but it's still cool though.
In X-Men, all their abilities had a meaning, or a specific role. Like...Storm can control weather, Cyclops can cremate you with a glare, you've got Iceman, a dude that plays with fire, etc etc. They're all backed up as being a 'mutant' and have a specific role but in Wolverine there were some characters that weren't quite clear in this area. They did show off what they can do but it's nothing near a specific type of power. Agent Zero, for example, can put a bullet between your eyes from a mile away and shoot against a 100 soldiers. So what's his power? Samurai boy can reject a hundred bullets with his sword. So what's his power? There's a few more left for you to find out but it was just weird.
Overall it was entertaining and some scenes were really good. Wolverine (Logan) is obviously the main attraction but the plot is not boring at all. There's a few messy parts but that's just me. All in all it's a pretty good flick to watch with your friends and talk about.
