Rating: 4/5Star cast: Hugh Jackman, Rila Fukushima, Will Yun Lee, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Famke Janssen.Director: James mangold
What’s Good: An energetic and persuasive narrative that keeps the Wolverine frenzy alive and bubbling!
What’s Bad: Perhaps with a base little too existential, the film might turn out to be a washout for people who will go looking for graze-to-the-ground destruction ala other superhero releases this Summer.
Watch or Not?: James Mangold’s The Wolverine is surprising, engaging and fascinating to the hilt. With delectable dosage of energetic and thrilling action, this edition of Wolverine is way beyond mere superhero mediocrity. Whether you are a Wolverine fan or not, don’t miss Hugh Jackman’s top notch performance in a film whose soul is well-spirited.
Mangold’s ‘The Wolverine’ lives up to its hype as it emerges as an enormously compelling film which transposes the Marvel series with sheer cinematic delight. Hugh Jackman in his hulking presence is crackling and remits a riveting performance. As a fan of this series and Jackman, I cannot settle for anything less than 4/5 for this indulgent film. Go catch this one, and I assure you it’ll be rewarding!
Finally - a superhero movie that doesn't feel like every other superhero movie.

The location reminds us of Mani Ratnam's Kadal. Mariyan is the third movie in recent days to have the story in coastal region.Bharath Bala's Direction The slow pace of the movie helps the audience to feel the emotions for more time. It seems like director Bharath Bala has purposefully leisured the pace.AR Rahman The tracks 'Enga ponna raasa' and 'Kadal raasa naan' have been is used as a background score in the whole movie. AR Rahman's score will make the audience to keep humming even after they are out of theater.Verdit No doubt Mariyan will lend the National award for Dhanush. His sufferings on-screen, bursting and agony during emotional scenes have come out well. The movie is a must watch for Dhanush's fans.
