The Wolverine

The Wolverine (2013) – It sets up like it’s going to have some respectable intrigue and touch on some interesting themes, but, rather than doing anything of consequence with what is, honestly, a fairly one-note protagonist, the film turns out to be content trotting out the usual fight scenes (which here are over-choreographed and astonishingly fake-looking), ludicrous CGI, and predictable story; Jackman (vascularity extreme!), at least, carries it along well enough, but the mid-credits scene might be the best part of the film. 5
