Movie Review: The Wolverine

Does the inclusion of characters with strange and supernatural powers automatically consign a film to the increasingly dominant sub-genre mixing the most potent aspects of the science fiction and action categories, or is there wiggle room for a film to defy the tropes of the comic book super hero film as popularized by Marvel and DC in recent years?

The Wolverine evokes those questions despite the comic book origins of its characters and their super human abilities, because at its core it is an action film with a theme that questions the nature of mortality and immortality.
