THE WOLVERINE REVIEW...

Hey Lovelies, 

Considering many films have many successful films branch from them 'The Wolverine’ is a confusing and slightly to over the top sequel in the X-Men franchise.

With Hugh Jackman back as one of the best action heroes of all time, the film is expected to be easy going and for fans such as myself of the franchise, a joy to watch.

As for Jackman, he again is on top form as the hero and is probably the only reason I could actually sit and watch it the whole way through. He always knows how to bring the character back to life and does succeed again. He manages to bring the laughs as well as soft moments; however I wish he had spoken more as it would have made the film a lot easier to understand.

I know this review is short, but I could not understand what was happening on screen and therefore I struggled to review it, but I hope I have given you a little insight into the film.

So the film has clawed away a…
