movie review - The Wolverine

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one 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.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
