Well lets take the good aspects of the film first shall we. The opening scene is awesome, and the CGI is incredible. It also got some highly entertaining action-sequences and cool things. The Wolverine got many defects, and one of them is that it’s a bit brutal for my taste, and it’s very slow and boring at some places. The ending is another thing that totally sucked to watch, so boring (but the end-credit scene is great!). Some of the actors are just the worst, so they could have done that better.

The Wolverine is the less greatest film of all X-Men movies.

After "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" left a sour taste in the mouths of many fans of the "X-Men" and of superhero films in general, Hugh Jackman and new director James Mangold decided to give it another go with "The Wolverine."

How did it turn out? Pretty good overall. It's still nothing historic, but it gets the job done thanks to some impressive action scenes, good acting and some decent writing. The writing could've been better and the characters weren't too memorable (though, as I said, the acting was good), but all in all, "The Wolverine" is a solid comic-book film that's definitely worth a watch if you enjoy the X-Men films.… Expand

This is a good superhero movie with a good plot. It also features plenty of action. It starts off as being a little bit boring at first, but eventually gets more and more interesting. It has a strong climax and an unusual twist at the end.

It helps that Wolfie loses his powers and shows a human side, that he makes like James Bond in You Only Live Twice, and that he makes out with the lovely Mariko (Tao Okamoto). Sticking to Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's Marvel Comics blueprint, director James Mangold (Walk the Line) shows style and snap.

The one thing holding this film back from being great is it's PG-13 rating we get good action but it gets ruined by the lack of blood that should be flying everywhere as Wolverine slashes through everyone. The humor and swearing is surprisingly uninfected by the PG-13 rating and is pretty damn funny. The pacing and the way this movie looks is stunning,my favorite part of this movie is when Wolverine is crouched outside a motel in Japan (this whole movie mostly takes place in Japan) pouring with rain. The lighting and cinematography in this scene is damn near perfect and it gave me chills,you should definitely check it out if you're are Wolverine or X-men fan.… Expand

Finally - a superhero movie that doesn't feel like every other superhero movie. The Wolverine proves that it's possible to have a movie based on a comic book franchise that doesn't involve mass destruction, the fate of the planet, and aFinally - a superhero movie that doesn't feel like every other superhero movie. The Wolverine proves that it's possible to have a movie based on a comic book franchise that doesn't involve mass destruction, the fate of the planet, and a seemingly indestructible bad guy. The Wolverine is a surprisingly personal, intimate tale (at least insofar as an X-Men spinoff can be considered "intimate") - more of a crime story with superhero flavoring than an all-out CGI effects action orgy. That's not to intimate there's no action - there's enough to keep Wolverine fans involved, including a tremendous train-top chase/fight - but The Wolverine is character-based. That's something none of the other 2013 superhero movies can boast.

As a brand, "Wolverine" has taken something of a hit. It started with a fan backlash against the third film in the original X-Men trilogy and continued into the lackluster origin story, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Toning things down is probably the right direction to take the character, at least for a single story. It allows us to re-connect with Logan (Hugh Jackman) in the post-X-Men: Last Stand universe. When the movie begins, he's alone and isolated. The Wolverine is about his coming to grips with his immortality and his quest to put his past behind him and arrive at a place where he can return to his role as a "soldier." It also involves Logan's tentative steps toward loving someone other than Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), whose image dominates his dreams and nightmares.

The majority of The Wolverine transpires in Japan, which lends the movie an exotic flair. He's there to bid farewell to an old compatriot, billionaire industrialist Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), who lies on his dying bed. When the old man dies, Logan becomes the unwitting protector of his granddaughter, Mariko (Tao Okamoto), who has been targeted for kidnapping by the Yakuza. Mariko's closest childhood friend, Yukio (Rila Fukushima), becomes Logan's sidekick, and he is aided in his quest by another of Mariko's protectors, Kenuichio Harada (Will Yun Lee). There's also a mutant involved: the mysterious Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova), whose ultimate goals are unclear but whose methods, such as robbing Wolverine of his self-healing powers, are deadly.

The Wolverine's director, James Mangold, is better known for drama than action, and much of the material in this movie plays to his strengths. The exception is the climax, which comes across as disappointingly generic in the wake of a mostly fresh first 90 minutes. Mangold does a better job with thriller elements and character interaction than he does with the introduction of a robot that looks like it got lost on the way to Iron Man 3.

This is, of course, Hugh Jackman's movie, and no one comes close to upstaging him. Jackman, one of the more charismatic actors currently working in superhero movies, is fully invested in this project. His eye-popping physique is on full display in a topless scene; he looks more like Schwarzenegger in his prime than the guy who played Jean Valjean. Jackman evidences some nice chemistry with his two female co-stars: Rile Fukushima, who executes a lot of martial arts stunts as Robin to Wolverine's Batman, and model-turned-actress Tao Okamoto, who plays the love interest. Svetlana Khodchenkova's Viper and Will Yun Lee's Harada are underused - The Wolverine could have done more with them and less with the big silver samurai robot.

The change-of-pace evident in The Wolverine saves it from the "just another superhero" movie label and offers an antidote to the fatigue that may have set in for the populace in general. Sometimes smaller is the way to go and Jackman's abilities are perfectly suited for a movie that requires some acting to accompany the stunts and special effects. And, for those who like post-credits Easter eggs, The Wolverine offers a big, memorable one. Whatever you do, don't leave until you've seen it (you'll know it when it happens about 1/3 of the way through the end credits). It's the cherry on the top of an otherwise tasty summer treat.… Expand

This film is a spin-off based on Logan, aka Wolverine, one of the X-Men, and seems to come more or less following "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", giving this cartoon character a weight and charisma that other characters like Storm or Professor XThis film is a spin-off based on Logan, aka Wolverine, one of the X-Men, and seems to come more or less following "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", giving this cartoon character a weight and charisma that other characters like Storm or Professor X himself seem to lack.

In this film, Logan is taken on a trip to Tokyo to say goodbye to a friend, whom he saved when the atomic bomb exploded over Nagasaki, and who is now dying. He is a millionaire, has built a technological empire and will leave it to his granddaughter, who is threatened by the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia. Of course, Logan will have to protect her, and in the midst of all of this he will discover the truth about his presence in the country of the Rising Sun.

Personally, I did not feel particularly involved by the film or the story, which seems like one of those films where they take advantage of a charismatic character and simply put him in a place or context where he has not yet appeared anywhere. The film is a little too long for the story told, it would have been interesting to cut it by thirty minutes in order to make it lighter, and the feeling it gets is that everything is just a pretext for the action scenes, where Wolverine slices things and shreds Japanese guys with the same ease with which I cut sausages for breakfast.

The cast is led by the inevitable Hugh Jackman, back to the character who immortalized him to most people, and whom he plays without surprises. I haven't seen anything I haven't seen previously, in the extensive X-Men franchise, and the actor seems to be just earning money. Nothing against it, I also honestly earn my own, but it lacks talent and commitment here. Much more interesting was the performance of Rila Fukushima, impeccable in the action scenes and who was unstoppable with a katana in her hands. Tao Okamoto is beautiful and looked great in the film, as did Hiroyuki Sanada, who proved to have more talent than what he managed to reveal. Veteran Hal Yamanouchi was also a very good addition to the Japanese cast, and it was very enjoyable to hear Japanese in place of the ubiquitous US English we are used to. After all, if the story takes place in Japan with Japanese characters, what is the logic of speaking English all the time?

Technically, I think it's an uninteresting film. Most of the action scenes take place on autopilot, with highly choreographed fights and without any blood dripping, as if it were a ballet. At one point, I felt sleepy with so much dancing. Cinematography does not bring us anything astounding. Sets and costumes, although they're basically what we could expect, with kimonos and traditional houses along with skyscrapers and fast trains, occasionally give us small pearls. I especially liked the robotic suit that appears at the end.… Expand

But as it turns out, it madeI knew I was in for some good time when the movie began. The way Wolverine saved a Japanese soldier from a nuclear blast made me believe this movie will finally be what we had hoped X-Men Origins: Wolverine to be. But as it turns out, it made the same mistake but in Japanese.

Wolverine is shown to be living in solitude but comes out because a bear died. Like, what? Is that even enough to drive him over the edge? And then he goes to Japan to meet Yashida, the soldier who is now on his deathbed. It hurts to just look at him. His bed is covered with steel nails. I was thinking his head would be hit really hard when they raise him up. Yashida tells Logan that his healing powers are finishing because of which he must find a way to die. Seriously? Just because you are dying doesn't mean everyone wants to die. And then they show Wolverine to have lost all his powers because he was kissed by Snake Poison Ivy when he was asleep.

Honestly I don't have a problem with superheroes losing their powers. But when they are for absolutely stupid reasons like this one and then they get harassed by regular bad guys like Yakuzas in this movie, I really have a problem with that. And until the very end of the movie Wolverine remains powerless. And he sees Phoenix in his dreams. It was one thing I absolutely DIDN'T want to watch. And finally it is "revealed" that the Steel Samurai was Yashida. He wanted to take Wolverine's healing powers so that he could heal himself. And Wolverine beats him, says goodbye to Jean Gray just like how Spider-Man said goodbye to Sandman.

The CGI of this movie has been done very well. Most of the problem comes here due to a poorly written plot trying to be everywhere at the same time. It began as a completely different movie and ended as a completely different one. And the amount of Japanese spoken in this movie made me look more at the subtitles than the actual movie. Because of course, how can a movie ever be complete without a bunch of talking?

I won't think twice before concluding that The Wolverine is the most forgettable out of all the X-Men movies, especially among the spin-off ones. It was a waste of another great plot for Wolverine just like how Origins did. I like how they actually improved these problems in Logan, which gave the iconic X-Men superhero a perfect goodbye.… Expand

The problem with that is that "Dark and gritty" only works when you feel identification with the characters and there is a well-written dramatic story. There are no likeable characters and the fighting scenes are not special either. The movie would have worked way better if they would have cut down on characters and fake drama and upped the comic relief and fun. There would have been so much opportunities for that in Japan!… Expand

While director James Mangold would eventually outdo both himself and this franchise with the far superior Logan, his first foray into the X-Men universe with The Wolverine is itself a really solid, scaled-back action film. Lower stakes -- butWhile director James Mangold would eventually outdo both himself and this franchise with the far superior Logan, his first foray into the X-Men universe with The Wolverine is itself a really solid, scaled-back action film.
