The Wolverine (2013)
Good not Great
As the title says i thought this was good but not great. I didn't mind the fact the film felt a bit slow in parts, I didn't even mind that most of the action scenes were already shown in the trailers it's just i felt there was something missing from this.
I felt the Viper was a bit weak and the way the ending came about with the Silver Samurai was a bit predictable. I will say i thought Yukio was excellent and Jackman as Wolverine was excellent as well. I understand why Jean Grey was in his dreams, To show the anguish and pain Logan goes through but i did think the film could have done without it.
I love the whole Samurai thing, The Eastern culture fascinates me but i can't seem to put my finger on what stops this being anything above a 7/10 for me. It may be that i will enjoy it more on the second watch but there is still no doubt that it is better than Wolverine: Origins while possibly on a par with the best X-Men film.
Pacific Rim (2013)
Action A Plenty
I'll start with the positives, I think this was a fantastic looking movie, the 3D was awesome. The detail on the Kaiju and Jaeger's was excellent and the action scenes were fantastic.
Unfortunately despite the positives i couldn't say was this anything more than an average movie for me.
I found the acting to be pretty bad to the point it was borderline corny and this really spoiled the film for me.
I wouldn't discourage anyone from going to see this you just have to know what you are getting so you won't be disappointed. If you want a film with lots of excellent action without too much thinking to be done then Pacific Rim is perfect for you.
