After that midcore movie X-men origins this was a huge step up from it all.The plot was good.The fight scenes are great.The acting was good.The CGI is Terrible.But the rest of it was good.My favourite bit is the opening scene and the fight scene but I did like that we never got to see Silver Samurai but his armor only.

This show must have been written for a Japanese audience or something very strange. "Wolverine" is not an X-Man. He is some pathetic imitation of the real character. There are no identifiable aspects to the X-Men franchise. The "plot" is so insane that only the most stodgy coprophagous clown would have given it the "ok" for film development. Some Japanese guy "Wolverine" allegedly met once during WWII when he was a prisoner of war (--hint, Wolverine would not have been a prisoner of war; he would have destroyed all moral foes without blinking--) sends a little annoying girl to "get" him from a drunken pity-party so that he (--the now old and dying Japanese guy--) can say "farewell." And "Wolverine" agrees????? Are you joking. And the plot only gets worse from that point forward. Perhaps this trash was intended for Millennials kids that wouldn't know any better. However, the very worst "cartoon" from the 1990's or the 2000's "Evolution" school this pile of facial material. It does not deserve the name "Wolverine." It does not deserve to be affiliated with X-Men. The only thing worse is probably "Logan," the biggest loser of them all. See "Dark Night" for how a comic book can be turned into a successful film. Or see the "Superman II" (1980). That is how it is done. Dump this trash in the bin of LOSERS forever.

Don't get me wrong, Logan is great but this is far more enjoyable and less soul draining. We follow Logan to Japan where he is invited to say farewell to an old friend he once saved, however he is now embroiled in a family where power, money and immortality are at stake. James Mangold had a really easy job, just make it better than the abysmal X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He did that and then some. The balance between Logan's haunted past and the Yashida family affairs was perfect. The dream scenes with Jean Grey highlight how tainted Logan really is, how he struggles to let go of his past. It's a story about love, forgiveness...and badass swordplay sequences. Those of you who know me, know that my weakness in films are those that are set in Japan. I don't know why, it just is. James Mangold made Japan look beautiful, it was colourful and modern. Hugh Jackman, once again, is Wolverine. His physical prowess is ridiculous, clearly you don't want to have an arm wrestle with him...his veiny veins of vein-ness might just pop (seriously though have you seen them!?). Hiroyuki Sanada gets to wave a sword around, that's bonus points right there. The action sequences were thrilling and well filmed, I'm thankful that we as an audience are able to see everything and not be plagued with shaky cam or frequent jump cuts. The bullet train scene was damn fun to watch. The combination of modern and traditional Japan was well balanced and did not feel forced. The Viper was memorable enough to be classed as a good villain, maybe not the best choice of actress but it certainly wasn't a bad performance. Everything just felt fresh, it's what the franchise really needed. The third act does stumble into typical superhero blockbuster territory but that is to be expected, it couldn't stay mature forever I guess. Some of the slower scenes did drag slightly as well, but if anything it adds to Logan's character development. The Wolverine was fresh, bold and exciting to watch. It should be appreciated a little bit more.

The movie was going good and would've gotten 8 stars from me if its third act was consistent with rest of the movie.Performances were fine.The camera-work and score was really good and the action was fun.There were some average acting at times though.It was an enjoyable affair overall and definitely worth seeing.
