So, I just saw The Wolverine and it was very good. A huge improvement from X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
This film is loosely based from the Wolverine mini-series back in the early 80s. While the story and characters changed, the film was pretty decent. Here is my vague review of the Marvel mutant film.
- This film takes place about 3 years after X-Men 3.
- Logan is hot as a long haired caveman.
- Nice reference to Logan's sensibility to animals.
- Jean is in it... a lot.
- This is true stand alone story.
- I like that they didn't cram a lot useless characters in this film. Everyone had a purpose.
- Viper has all the sass of her comic book character. But the tongue was a bit much.
- Yukio has some of character traits from the comics. It was very good to see that.
- The fight scenes were on point and amazing.
- There was good chemistry between Logan and Mariko.
- The story was fresh, pieces did fit very well.
- The dialogue wasn't too hokey, in fact, it felt like I was reading a comic book.
- The bathing scene was nice.
- Glad that Mariko wasn't weak.
- The Silver Samurai was interesting.
- It was so good see Logan become a hero again.
- Stay to the end... There are a couple of characters waiting for Logan.

This movie has its betting point on the script rather than traditional marvel practice of giving more importance to destruction and action 'overdose'. surprisingly there are no mutants shown other than wolverine and viper like its previous installment...that is to focus totally on lead character which is a good thing. There are fight scenes which are very well executed and make their impression very well on the viewer, thanks to special effects and nice cinematography. Certainly director James Mangold credited for diverging marvel ship from traditional routes to new ones. In this movie wolverine is shown fighting his inner demons throught his journey in Tokyo, japan. and two things are highlighted here.. his nightmares on jean grey and his "curse" of immortality. A fight with silver samurai may surprise viewer on the amount of admantium available on earth i.e. it was shown to be limited in its previous installment. Coming to acting part every one sizzles and off-course hugh jackman is life of movie. Overall movie is entertaining and meeting rather exceeding expectations.A must watch for all fans. Don't forget to watch a post credit scene which makes way for next x-man:days of future past.
