THE WOLVERINE

(2013) 126 Minutes, Rated PG-13

Mike's Review:  Overall I liked this movie and it was fun to watch, but I saw it more as a filler movie for the new X-men movie coming up.  'X-men: Days of Future Past'.  I think 'X-men Origins: Wolverine' was a better movie and I thought that 'The Wolverine' movie would have tied better into that one, due to the fact at the end of 'X-men Origins: Wolverine' he's seen at a bar in Japan trying to remember who he is.  In 'The Wolverine' there is no mention of his memory loss, in fact he remembers killing Jean very well.  I did like the plot of this movie the story gave you more insight to Logan and the fight scenes were awesome to watch, but shouldn't his adaptainum claws been able to slice through all the swords they came in contact with. 

On a side note I was ticked when Wolverines' adaptainum claws were chopped off and he was back to using his bone claws, but I saw a glimmer of hope of him regaining them when Magneto and Professor X showed up in the credits.


Best Scene: The open heart surgery fight scene.
Mike's Rating: Worth the price of the ticket.




Bean's Review:  Moral of this story:  No good deed goes unpunished!
Highly entertaining movie.  Hugh Jackman is in excellent shape for the role and provided the audience with ample drooling pleasure. Unlike many other lead actors cast in action movies, Hugh Jackman cannot be replaced as 'The Wolverine'. After saving the Japanese solider, Yashida from the nuclear blast of World War II, Logan is plagued by him 60 years later, as Yashida has gone insane and tries to steal Logan’s immortality.  The two young women playing the granddaughter and pseudo sister do well in their parts.  Yashida’s son is slimy and without morals and portrays these characteristics well.  Although Viper is one enemy to contend with, Yashida is by far, the creepiest and most threatening enemy force. As Hugh Jackman totally becomes 'The Wolverine', the audience is able to connect with him and feel everything, every blow, cut, piercing and the angst he goes through, especially with coming to grips with the death of Jean.


Best Scene: The train scene was very intense, but I was feeling the attack on Logan by “Yashida men” with the arrows through the village streets. 
Creepiest scene:  when old Yashida drills the screws into Logan knuckle/blade holes
Bean's Rating: Full price ticket!


Karyn's Review:  This movie was awesome.  From the previews I was a little skeptic.   I was under the impression that Wolverine was going to lose his mutant abilities.  That was so not the case.  I loved that the movie is taking place after the last X-Man movie.  The twist at the end was great.  Didn’t see that coming.  I cant wait for the next movie

Best Scene: The fight scene when he is cutting his own chest open
Karyn's Rating: Worth the price of the ticket.
