The Wolverine
The second movie to star only Wolverine, with a grand total of around three mutants appearing in the movie (including Wolverine), it doesn't feel much like an X-Men film nor does it give the divisive feel. It starts off in typical Wolverine fashion, with Logan away from the world, living alone and probably having some deep reflection. Obviously, he returns to action and the majority of the film takes place in Japan. The plot is average but there are way too many scenes that does not add value. This causes the film to bloat to being two hours long when 1.5 hours would have sufficed. The relationship Wolverine has with the main female character was superficial and doesn't feel in character, especially when he keeps thinking about Jean. The hallucinations involving Jean was done way too often and way too much, it feels in your face. The plot tries to be complex with the involving of many characters... and many antagonists yet it is still predictable and trying to fit so many into the film causes some to be redundant. All that said, it provides insight to the internal struggle of Logan.
