Baaaad ... oh, baaaaaad.
Hugh Jackman is always great as the Wolverine but this story doesn't have any sense nor excuse....

Disillusioned with this, "Logan" drops out and tries to live a normal life with his new found love. "Stryker" is having none of th...
Well, I enjoyed the first hour or so. Not much can be said about the other 40 minutes....
