** SPOILERS **
A refreshing change of style for a “superhero” movie. In fact, this is much more like a martial arts movie than an “X-Men” movie. The filmmakers establish mood and tone expertly. The compositions and shots are gorgeous and fluid, and they lack the cuttiness of most of the summer’s action/Man of Steel fare. Hugh Jackman is badass as Wolverine, as always, and there are ample amounts of ass-kicking on display. Nice, too, to see Jean Grey hanging on to her power over him, as super-heroines are prone to do to superheroes. While not a planet-saving journey for Wolverine, it’s a well-made chapter of the legend.
