Wolverine should have been a sure fire hit; one of the most popular of the X-Men characters with a shadowy psyche and metallic claws, what is there not to like in Superhero terms? Unfortunately, neither Hollywood A-lister, Hugh Jackman, or seasoned composer Harry Gregson-Williams, can breathe enough life into this animal to make it worth howling about. Both the film and the score suffer from a rather uninspiring lack of originality that has pervaded the entire project, from Jackman’s less than wild Wildman to Gregson-Williams uneventful scoring. Though the opening cue, ‘Logan Through Time’ starts the score off well, buoyed by a strong melody and a fair amount of bite, this fails to sustain things, quickly tapering off into a series of uninspiring cues. While this may have been a passable television score, though not to the level of Michael Giacchino’s work on ‘Lost’, Gregson-Williams’ impressive back catalogue suggests that he is capable of a lot better. Unfortunately, the only impression Wolverine leaves on the listener is one of disinterest. Clawless.
