We're days away from the highly anticipated Deadpool and Wolverine, which will storm into theaters this weekend.
e, which will storm into theaters this weekend. At this point, we have 24 years of Hugh Jackman Wolverine movies, with the latest chapter marking his tenth appearance as the violent, roguish Logan. His journey has not always produced the best products, but seeing the big guy slicing and dicing his way through hordes of enemies is always a treat, no matter the film.
By that description, this sounds like the most badass Wolverine picture ever produced. Somehow, it all sucks. Regrettably, the third chapter in the X-Men franchise never rises to the high bar established by its predecessors due to director Bryan Singer vacating his post for the equally bland Superman Returns. The Last Stand lacks his sturdy hand and feels more like a product assembled by a panel of marketers than the work of an auteur filmmaker.Given the nature of the production, it’s a wonder The Last Stand even works as meager entertainment.
A clunky third act, clearly resulting from rushed reshoots, slashes away the goodwill built up in the first few hours, leaving The Wolverine a remarkable disappointment. We’d probably still be discussing the film if not for the terrible ending.If X-Men proved superheroes didn’t have to rely on campy theatrics to work on the silver screen, then X2: X-Men United is the picture that demonstrated their untapped potential.
By this point, Jackman has fully embodied Wolverine, delivering the perfect blend of snark and emotional depth that makes viewers truly care about his journey. He’s given ample compelling material to work with alongside a talented supporting cast that handles much of the heavy lifting.
