The Wolverine : spoliers!

My review on everyone's favourite Hero

Synopsis

In modern day Japan, Wolverine is out of his depth in an unknown world as he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.

My thoughts

This film is the film comic fans wanted first time round with it following Logan on his journey in Japan and following closely to the comics. Its a slow burn to be honest with not being your usual super hero movie with some themes behind the film of death,trust and honor. The film is a soul searching film for its a journey he must take to get this full potential. That said i was bored!

The film starts slow an.d its not very gripping we see him struggling to come to term with his life after the X-Men and him losing Jean Grey even if she wasn't really his in the first place, we see him getting on with the wild life more then people as he has kind of cut himself off from humanity slightly. As he is also a animal we see him connect with  dying bear and goes hunting for the hunters, which leads him to the woman looking for him. She manages to persuade him to go to Japan and meet his old acquaintance who dies and then the film basically becomes a body guard film where he is protecting the man's granddaughter whilst she is being hunted to draw out wolverine.

The film has a few good action scenes especially the train fighting scene which i thought was done very well to use the moves which Logan would definitely use. Its weird to see not many mutants in this film with just two on top of the main character; the viper was great and very well played however what i dint understand was why she was there and her motives for doing the things she did it made no sense. i did like the parasite which she put in wolverine to slow down his regeneration powers which made sense and humanised him.

SO Jean Grey we see a fair bit of her appearing in his hallucinations giving him pillow talk really which is really his guilt for killing her really and by the end of the film he lets go of her.   

The overall plot of this film was to rob Logan of his Regeneration powers so that Grandad can Live forever its a Lame motive for a film to be honest always a trope where someone wants to live for ever.

So to get the power this guys tries to assassinate his own granddaughter. Thats pathetic. He builds a big samurai which to be honest could have been built by Tony Stark it looked like a iron man suit in the end.

Big props to Hugh Jackman who looked his best in this film who took diet advice from The Rock to bulk up!

The more i think about it the less i like it so thats the last 2 Marvel films i feel have been crap you need to sort it out losing your grip.

feel free to disagree but thanks for reading
