Review: Three Reasons Some People Didn't Like The Wolverine
It seems a lot of people eagerly awaited the new Wolverine movie. It also seems that a lot of those people left the theaters quite disappointed. And I can think of three reasons why.
 |
| One reason for each claw. |
1. WOLVERINE NOT BEING WOLVERINE ISN'T INTERESTING
What makes Wolverine a badass? It's not just his Hugh Jackman charm or his Wolverine hair. It also isn't his berserker rage. It's his mutant ability to regenerate. With Wolverine's healing factor, he still gets hurt (theoretically), but he can't really die. His cells would regenerate even before reaching the point of death.

In this movie, however, he loses his ability to regenerate, which means that for a time, Logan was nothing more than a human with adamantium in his bones.
 |
| "You look like a DC villain." |
The question, though, is whether Wolverine would still live if his head was severed from his body. I'm betting he does, but only for a certain time. Which means his head needs to be attached as soon as possible.
2. LACK OF EYE CANDY
I cannot speak for the ladies, obviously. But I love Logan's hair.
 |
| Okay, maybe his upper body as well. |
Anyway, I was hoping for a hotter female cast. Yukio has a weird face. That Russian Viper chick looks a bit too masculine for my taste. And it looks like they spent a huge chunk of their budget making Famke Janssen's face look younger. Tao Okamoto is the only decent face here, and only because there's literally no one else.

| Hollywood, meet Emi Takei. Now use her. |
3. PACIFIC RIM RIP-OFF
Silver Samurai is a Jaeger, and Yashida is a Jaeger pilot.
 |
| Pacific Rim 2? LOL |
The Wolverine.
