We've seen the new Wolverine film and we're pretty sure it's going to divide audiences. How does it compare to the rest of the series? The quality of the effects? The acting? The story? We've got the quick answers.
Okay, right off the bat - Wolverine is solid, if a little wonky around the sides. It's quite dark for the most part; plenty of killing going on - wars, battles and cameos by a few lesser known mutants. Anyone who has seen the leaked workprint are advised that the cinema version is obviously the superior version.
And if you think watching a leaked version of Wolverine swinging around on wires is a good way to judge its quality, then you don't realise what you're missing. This is first and foremost a film for fans of the series; newcomers to the series may feel a little alienated by the choppy plot and sub-characters.
How does it compare to the rest of the series?
Easily better than X-Men 3, but without the quality of subtext displayed in X-Men 1 and 2.
The fight scenes?
We really dug the fight choreography in this flick. There are some menacing, balls-to-the-wall fights between Wolverine and Sabretooth and at times it felt like the duelling cyborgs in James Cameron's T2.
Way cool! The downsides are few.
