Perhaps "Wolverine 3" would be a better title considering all the times we have seen Jackman in this role. The film opens with a flashback dream within a flashback dream as Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) continues playing Jeremiah Johnson. He is persuaded to go to Japan by Yukio (Rila Fukushima) to pay his last respects. While in Japan, Wolverine encounters Viper woman (Svetlana Khodchenkova) his "Kryptonite," and gets involved in a plot that gave me flashbacks to fine films like "Toxic Avenger II" and "Nazis at the Center of the Earth."The plot had more complexity than what I expected or wanted to see. The action scenes were shot by shaking the camera at odd angles so we could feel the intensity. Instead I thought "Why the low budget effect?" The film started out with some comedy and dark comedy, but that aspect quickly died when they went to Japan.Considering the fine Avenger/Mutant films that have come out, this one was a let down. Film seems to have been designed to introduce Yukio.Worth a rental. Most likely I will buy it since I own all the other ones, but I will wait for the big price drop.Parental Guide: 1 F-bomb. Implied morning after sex. Jackman rear nudity.

A really typical superhero movie. Lots of action and fight scenes. Nothing the really sticks out and nothing special. This will probably be the only time I ever watch this movie, it was a watch it and forget it kind of thing.The plot was a little thin and there is one character that switches sides at the last minute with no real explanation as to why which kind of bugged me. But other than that it was enjoyable for me. Would compare it to just about all the other X-men/Wolverine movies out there.

Plot Overview: Decades after he saved a man during Nagasaki, Logan(Hugh Jackman) is approached by Yukio(Rila Fukushima), who takes him to Tokyo to bid farewell to an old friend.Directed by James MangoldStarring ​Hugh Jackman, Tao Okomato and Svetlana Khodchenkova.# NO SPOILERSOverall: This movie has good action, reasonable performances and was good fun... up until the last 15 minutes which were awful. The movie was reasonably entertaining and much better than Origins but then again the movie needed to be watchable to one up its predecessor. Some fans of the previous movies may be annoyed with the blatant ignoring of the previous movies' events and some comic book fans won't be pleased with the changes to certain aspects of lore. In conclusion, the movie has a great performance from Jackman, some good fun, entertaining action and a fresh setting for the superhero genre.The types of people who will like this movie will be fans of Wolverine, people who were disappointed by Origins and probably just comic book/action fans in general.Would Recommend.# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!Hugh Jackman was great as Wolverine and you can tell he actually cared about this movie unlike in Origins. Tao Okomato was good as Mariko Yashida as was Rila Fukushima as as Yukio. The romance between Mariko and Logan felt so forced and unnecessary. Svetlana Khodchenkova was the modern day equivalent of Uma Thurman's 'Poison Ivy': that's not a compliment. Both Hal Yamanouchi and Lex Lang were both pretty weak as The Silver Samurai. Both Viper and The Silver Samurai were pretty weak villains and didn't stand out or were even that memorable. The setting for this movie was so fresh and interesting and was a brilliant idea to set a Superhero movie somewhere other than America. Both the overall story and the ending were pretty weak.I really liked the cinematography in this movie.The effects were decent.The first 1hr and 30min of this movie were awesome and was just hugely enjoyable. The last 10-20 minutes, not so much. Most of the action was excellent and was just fun to watch. It's also the same old Logan we came to know and love in the Bryan Singer X-Men.The final confrontation were it turned into TRANSFORMERS was absolutely awful and took away from the film. The music was very weak.Personally, I loved the first 1hr 40mins in this movie and hated the rest of it.7/10
