JBang Reviews Present "The Wolverine." Last week I saw "The Wolverine" at an AMC theater in Baltimore and I was shocked to see what I saw in The Wolverine. I was expecting to see what has now become a cliché superhero plot: a new villain enters a certain town and bullies all the other people smaller and weaker than him and it is up to the superhero to stop him. But that is not what I got from the Wolverine. What I saw was the depressing truth of being a superhero like Wolverine. I mean it must be cool to be a guy with a healing factor so strong, he is literally indestructible but the fact that he can't even die from old age, it must be troubling for someone to find something worth living for after 200+ years. This movie focuses on the curse of immortality and how far people will go to either end it or to grasp it. I believe the film does a good job of letting the audience realize that, especially since the true villain of the movie isn't revealed until the end. Plus, this movie is not a sequel to the 2009 movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." It's really just a solo sequel to "X-men: The Last Stand" the 3rd movie in the franchise released in 2006. "The Wolverine" is a good movie, it just doesn't feel like a superhero movie. It feels more like a drama/ cinematic documentary rather than an action/ adventure although it is labeled under the action/ adventure category. I give "The Wolverine" a score of 3 out of 5. And always remember, when watching a Marvel Movie... stay during the credits!
