My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Wolverine (2013)

Considered by many as the redemption film for this superhero franchise, Hugh Jackman is back and this time I believe they got the tone and character down just right. The story line is pretty good even if the third act is overdone and a bit disappointing. Wolverine returns to Japan where he was a prisoner of war during WWII and reunites with the Japanese solider he saved from the A-bomb. Now a powerful billionaire on death’s bed, he wishes to cure Wolverine but only to transfer his powers to him. Not really a good idea. There are many great moments to this story and I feel like they were close to making something more than just a silly superhero movie. In the end it’s just a silly superhero with more heart than it deserves. Grade: B
