Wolverine: Nothing but mediocrity

"X-Men" is a group show. To take care of each character, one person can't have too many scenes, so even important characters can only be introduced lightly. Although it is not enjoyable enough, the audience can understand it. When I waited for the prequel "Wolverine", I thought that the brush and ink should be concentrated, and there should be detailed and in-depth character descriptions. Who knows that the movie has a spoonful of various superhumans and superpowers, which can not help but disappoint. . In this way, the prequel of "X-Men" should not be "Wolverine", but "W-Men". By analogy, the letter "A" can be photographed patiently. Every episode uses crowd tactics, so the audience is not dazzled.

The prequel is more difficult to shoot than the postquel, and the difficulty lies in the fixed ending. The plot should be connected, and the characters should be connected. The character of the characters in the second episode must be a logical extension of the encounters of the characters in the first episode. "Star Wars" and "Batman" can become classics because they incorporate psychodrama elements into regular sci-fi and action films, and the characters in the entire series have become richer and more three-dimensional. "Wolverine" has failed in this regard, and it only barely managed to "connect" the plot. As for the character's character, I really can't justify it, so I have to use amnesia to play sloppy eyes.

"Wolverine" has a terrifying beginning. When Wolverine was a child, he accidentally killed his father - half Oedipus. With such a tragic childhood, how painful and tangled his life must be. However, what is unexpected is that Wolverine, who has run away from home since childhood and grew up in countless battles, is so mentally healthy, unburdened, clear love and hate, and full of mission. There is no shadow of childhood in him, and there is a natural desire for justice. For the sake of justice, even if it is necessary to break with the brothers who grew up together and died together, it will not drag on. Basically, Wolverine in Wolverine is a more symbolic character than in X-Men. In addition to being brave and fighting, the movie seems powerless and unintentional to discover whether there are other qualities in him. The only thing "Wolverine" cares about is not to let the plot cool down for a moment, so it has to keep showing stunts and fighting. Where the plot is really bland, some gimmicks are made to make the audience less bored, such as a boxer who has become overweight due to bulimia. Overall, Wolverine is a fairly mediocre film, with mediocre creativity, mediocre imagination, mediocre scenes, and mediocre acting…

    Darker than the main story

    It’s so ugly...So much tragic heart worth digging has been replaced by direct and brutal fighting. It is really difficult for Uncle Wolf to talk about a romantic love. The progress of the plot is basically only the result, no process development, and it is below the horizontal line. Make; Wolverine series can be discarded.
