Wolverine: Chasing The Phantom

Wolverine has always been the most popular X-Man. He was shown a lot in X-Men 1-3 and even given his own movie X-en Origins: Wolverine. Now they've already made a sequel to it!



In Wolverine: Chasing The Phantom director decided to go a really weird direction with the series. It portrays the super hero mutant as an actual wolverine. The film starts out with this narrator saying "Wolverine has been branded with a hell of a reputation, but who really is this demon of the north?" So I figured it'd follow more of his back story, but it doesn't. It just shows him running around in the snow eating animals and stuff. 

Who do you think the villian is in this movie? Sabertooth? Magneto? That pterodactyl guy? No it's a bunch of weird hunters that just stalk him and follow him around taking notes and stuff on what he's doing. Who the heck are these people??? They're refered to as "researcher" characters (remember them from the comics? no didnt think so) and they just ramble on forever.

There's a weird plot point where they put a radio collar on him and track him from a helicopter. YUour probably thinking this is where the big fight scene is where wolvering takes his clwas out and starts cutting stuff up. Nope! They just watch from a safe distance and make observations on what he's doing. What the heck??

Whos the Phantom? There's no phantom in this movie. This is the weirdest comic book to movie adaptation I have ever seen. I've never been so confused. I was surprised at first to see a Wolverine movie had been made with out my knowledge but after watching this pile of trash I'm not surprised. Marvel was probably ashamed of this pile of trash and just dumped it on DVD with no promotion hoping no one would find out about it. What a waste of time. This movie deservers my lowest score possible, ** two stars
