What makes
the Mutants so cool that it has spread into a franchise of six movies along
with the seventh one in the making? Some of the fans would say “multiple
superheroes at the price of one ticket”. Many others would agree to a different
answer: WOLVERINE.
That perhaps
is the only reason why Wolverine features in every X-men movie, an honor
that no other mutant enjoys. Several reasons to this: retraceable Adamantium
claw, ripped off body & above all, Invincibility.
“The
Wolverine” is a bold attempt in many ways. Unlike other X men movies where you
get to see various mutants alongside Logan, this one is pretty much a one man
show. This movie also shows the pain he undergoes in almost every scene,
something which irritated me at one point.
Logan is
almost convinced that “Invincibility can indeed be a curse”. But if living
across centuries, not aging one bit and getting the attention of every beauty
on the planet can be a curse, then somebody please curse me.
The action
sequences do not disappoint but one must have the patience to sit through the
lecture class between the action scenes.
On the whole
the movie seemed a bit slow, mainly because of the one man show and it was hard
to even imagine “pain” and “Wolverine” in the same sentence, but it was all
over the movie.
The main consolation
for me in this movie was Hugh Jackman himself. Playing the same role in seven
(including the one in making) different movies is not something that every
actor can imagine of (Unless you are Harry potter & Co). However ironic it
may sound, with that huge sideburns, we might as well start calling Jackman as
HAIRY POTTER.
I hope the
Wolverine trilogy ends on a high note.
