We had the last minute change of plans last night to discard the Baguio roadtrip to just watch a movie to wrap the day.

So here comes the unanimous choice of the group - Wolverine!

Off we go to Trinoma - definitely the better moviehouse compared to its neighbor in terms of appropriate airconditioning and the best seats (comfort and snooze) - and found that 4 cinemas were actually showing Wolverine! Well, I was not surprised, I clickthecity-ed it before we hit the road. Haha.

Zoom to a no-choice 10pm slot, we hed off to Cinema 7 - their THX theatre - and stayed in the F aisle. We should have come early to get a better row.

Wolverine's origin is enticingly action-packed in the first sequence. What is amazingly thought-of is the generation of war that Logan and Victor went through - Civil War, World Wars I & II, Vietnam War. I was asking my brother why they skipped the War on Iraq and he was quick to reply that because not much fighting happened in Iraq - only strategic cannon balls and air raids.

Surprisingly also, Will.I.Am is there and it has an Asian cast - Daniel Henney (Korean actor of the Kim Sam Sung series) which got a very good marksman skill. Impressive! I was under impression that he's Japanese but it appeared to be Korean.

Action sequences are creatively shot but not too good like Spiderman's.

Storyline involved a love story between Logan/Wolverine and Kayla which is acceptable.

The ending has got alternate scenes - so don't leave your seat until after the final credits.

3.5/5 stars
