A movie review of “The Wolverine,” the best superhero movie since “The Dark Knight Rises” and a compelling showcase for Hugh Jackman as the anguished, conflicted man with the retractable adamantium claws. Enjoy the trailer
The Wolverine,’ with Hugh Jackman, Rila Fukushima, Tao Okamoto, Hiroyuki Sanada, Famke Janssen. Directed by James Mangold, from a screenplay by Mark Bomback and Scott Frank. 126 minutes. Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, some sexuality and language.
Can anyone reverse the tide and stop summer’s slide toward big-movie ennui? How about … a superhero? How about “The Wolverine”?.
Well, “The Wolverine” just might be the best comic-book-based superhero epic since Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises.”
