movie review - The Wolverine

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2015.10.16

In this mean-spirited and gruesomely violent outing, super-"hero" Wolverine spends some time in Japan, hitting the usual wall of culture and language the way the rest of us do, but managing also to get nuked. The clunky plot boils down to a brawl and let's be honest, that's a foregone conclusion.

Not recommended. Also, I think watching this with my seven-year-old son was unnecessary.

rand()m quote

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
