Saw Lone Ranger and Wolverine yesterday.
Lone Ranger was far too long, and didn't capture the magic of the first Pirates film, which is obviously what they were hoping for. Johnny Depp reprises his role as Jack Sparrow, and Arnie Hammer makes a good John Reid. As a whole it was good fun, especially the finale which was great fun. 7/10
Wolverine. I've been bored shitless by Wolverine previously. I've found him to be a two dimensional character who's invincible so no matter what happens, he's going to come out unscathed. This movie is better than the last solo outing by miles, and it does add a little bit of depth to the character. The move to japan was a good idea, the environment feeling fresh. Making him 'mortal' for a while was an ok idea...although he still seems to find bullets no more troublesome than an insect bite. It felt like they tried to make the ending a surprise, but anyone who's ever seen a film, ever, could have predicted it.
An ok film. Another 7/10
Oh and I disagree about the worlds end being the worst of the trilogy. I thought it was the best!
