Outpost 10F Movie Review

Article by Richard Smith

Hello and welcome to the Outpost Movie Review. This month I’m taking a look at Marvel’s “The Wolverine”. Beware there are some spoilers.

The story follows Logan to the Canadian Wilderness following X-Men: The Last Stand. He’s living as a hermit in a cave reliving the death of Jean Grey over and over again. Some hunters change his desire to remain secluded. A mysterious woman with a samurai sword brings logan to Japan to see a man whose life he once saved in WWII now wealthy and on his deathbed. This man offers Logan a chance to get rid of his healing ability and become a normal man with the ability to live a limited lifespan. The story takes off from there.

If you haven’t seen the flick yet, I have to say it is a good movie, but not the Blockbuster I was expecting. I thought the plot was a good one, I enjoyed the action, I think the characters played their parts well, I just thought it was predictable. The film didn’t take me on the journey. I knew what was coming; it was just a matter of time. As a matter of fact, I was really surprised until a scene in the end credits. Don’t wait this time; there really is nothing at the end.

That being said, I think it does justice to the X-Men Franchise and it does leave me waiting for the Days of Future Past due out in May of next year. It does pain me though to say I think Disney is doing a better job producing Marvel products.

While I probably wouldn’t pay again to see it in the theatre, I will be picking it up on DVD when it comes out.

I’m giving The Wolverine 3.5 Outposts out of 5 for Watch ability. Thanks for watching and make sure to leave a comment below to let others know what you think. I’m Rich Smith with this Month’s Outpost Movie Review
