Movie review: The Wolverine

WARNING: THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS

The last X-Men film that I watched was X-Men Origins: Wolverine and that was four years ago. This year, Wolverine is back with another film which you might called it a sequel.

The Wolverine is about during Japanese Occupation/in the past, Logan/Wolverine saved a Japanese soldier, Yashida from a nuclear bomb. When the film started, I thought I was watching a documentary. Yashida, an old man, was about to passed away and he wanted to see Logan. As the story progresses, you may be curious and also wondering what is going on. The story was better than the previous Wolverine film, although I dislike the idea of him losing his healing power. With Wolverine losing power, this made him look weak (I know it was a way to continue the story) and also I do not see the importance of having Jean Grey in the film. She was a distractor for Logan since he loved her. I wondered why not Jean disturbed Cyclops who was in paradise like her.

I would like to mentioned Rila Fukushima as Yukio because I personally preferred her over Tao Okamoto who played Mariko. She looked tough for a female and useful than Mariko who acted like a princess and a distractor like Jean Grey. Yashida was a stupid ass who got obsessed with Wolverine just because he could live forever. Excuse me, what is the point of having to live forever? Seriously, after taking Logan/Wolverine's power, he still wanted more which I find it insane.

Although The Wolverine is an entertaining film, it is a movie which I probably would not watched again and some of the questions going on in my head, they were never answered. If you are a X-Men series or Wolverine fan, be prepared to get 50% disappointed and 50% excitement.

Ratings: 3/5

P.S. Don't leave the theater after the film ended because there is a post-credits conclusion scene. ;-)
