Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated The Wolverine (2013) in Movies

Jun 10, 2019

Darren Aronofsky was originally chosen to direct this second Wolverine solo outing but had to drop out due to travel restraints. Instead, James Mangold was brought in to helm this thrilling adventure as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine was the fish-out-of-water that the series needed. Set for the majority of the runtime in Japan, and with an exciting action sequence set atop a bullet train, The Wolverine was a reasonable return to form for the X-Men solo movies.

Mar 9, 2018

In the (unfortunately) final book of the Alcatraz Smedry series, Alcatraz is off to Mokia to try to keep the librarians from adding that kingdom to the Hushlands. Along the way, he gets a few surprises about his family and his talent. Fans of the series will love this latest adventure. It's filled with humor and action like all the others. Unfortunately, it also sets things up for a final book, which doesn't seem to be happening.

Action adventure twist.

Laugh out loud funny.

The trailer didnt really do this film justice. I loved this film, and was unexpectedly funnier than I anticipated. Especially the bullet extraction scene. Also the, one liners were brilliant.

I watched this film twice in a short space of time, something I don't do unless I really like it.
Have been recommending it to all of my friends as a comic, laid back, gaming film. Should appeal to boardgame and escape room nerds like me too.

One of the most easy to watch and all out entertaining of Marvel movies. Plenty of action and humour it’s also very accessible as a solo adventure and you don’t need to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Avengers back stories in order to enjoy it. I think Paul Rudd was also a fantastic bit of casting and he’s as well suited to the role as Robert Downey JR was to Tony Stark/Iron Man. Scott Lang is likeable, funny and charismatic company and fast becoming one of my favourite Avengers.
