The Wolverine (2013): Mormon Movie Review
Quality:
I chose the Spanish movie poster to represent this review of “The Wolverine” because Wolverine: Immortal is such a more fitting title. Summoned to Japan by an old acquaintance, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) becomes embroiled in a conflict that forces him to confront his own demons. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.
We were treated to a Wolverine film in 2009’s X-men Origins: Wolverine. While that film is a prequel of sorts this film follows the events of X-men (3): The Land Stand. Logan (Wolverine) has lost all purpose after the events of The Last Stand and lives a secluded live in the mountains of Alaska. He is constantly haunted by nightmares of his lost love Jean Grey (Famke Janssen). And I mean constantly! She has so much screen time she is featured in some of the movie posters. Because I am fundamentally against the movie trope where a girl leave the good guy for the bad boy this relationship is continually problematic for me and I loathe seeing it on screen. (See my pending article asking why is James Marsden the perpetual cuckold?)

So when photographer Joshua Watson and his then-girlfriend Rachel, who works in video production, wanted to take engagement photos for their June 1 union, they went above and beyond the typical photo shoot.
