The Wolverine


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

James Mangold made a comic book movie! It would be faint praise indeed to say it was better than the characters first solo outing. But as can be expected from Mangold, it's focused much more on character development and drama than action. Which I absolutely loved. (Although I'm not averse to bullet train action sequences...)

 I had some third act problems and there's one or two character that really get shortchanged, but nothing that's going to ruin my enjoyment overall.

Ninja's are fun.

Don't see this in 3D, some of the worst post-conversion I've seen in a long time.

There's also a very blatant mid-credit set-up for the next X-men film, Days of Future Past.
