Wolverine, I would like you to meet the world. World, this
is the Wolverine! Finally he has come to the big screen in all his raging
glory. Yes I understand that there was a character named Wolverine in 4 other
X-men related movies, 5 if you count ‘First Class’, but this was the first time
the real Wolverine showed up. If you missed The Wolverine when it was in the
theaters this summer then you can finally see what the big deal is.
The Wolverine picks up a few years after the events of
X-Men: Last Stand and the effects of what Logan went through have severely
affected him. He is now a wanderer, a man who his lost his way in life and
wrestling over whether or not he even wants to live. The movie takes us on his
journey of healing. He starts as a man suffering from severe depression but he
ends up a man renewed who will never forget what has happened, but will not be
controlled by those events either.
Hugh Jackman took the character to an amazing place this
time. Not only did Hugh get completely ripped physically, but also emotionally
the depth he brings to Logan this time is palpable. We are not just being told
that Logan is sad and we should believe it, Jackman sells it in a very real and
visceral way that the X-men films just never seemed to have. While Jackman was
outstanding, it was the rest of the cast that really gave him something to work
well with. Tao Okamoto as Mariko and Rila Fukushima as Yukio were especially
outstanding. Their characters were so vital to Logan’s healing that if the
actresses playing them were not up to the task the movie would not have
succeeded in the same way.
What about the Action, I mean this is a Wolverine movie
right? The action was outstanding. The fights were beautifully choreographed in
their brutality. Even the contrast of Logan’s fighting style versus the elegant
way that the samurai and ninja fought in the movie was amazing. If I had to
give one reason for why the action was so enjoyable in this movie compared to
previous ones it would be this; Wolverine vs. Ninja’s! What more do you need, I
was sold just on that idea alone and it was executed far beyond my
expectations.
If you haven’t seen this then you are in luck, it is out now
as a digital download through iTunes or you can pick up the Blu-Ray on December 3rd. This is a
must add movie to any library for action fans, comic book fans, and Hugh
Jackman fans. I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed this movie, it will
definitely be in more repeat viewing list.

Redemption begins from within. The Wolverine redeems not only Logan from his sins, but the
franchise from its, as well.
The events featured in X-Men:
The Last Stand left Logan questioning everything about himself. After the
Phoenix left him no choice but to kill Jean Grey, Logan secludes himself away
into the wilderness. But he learns that there’s no wilderness deep enough to
hide from his demons. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that Logan must
make peace with himself in order to move forward, to return home, to embrace
the Wolverine within. It’s an honest journey through the horrors of
post-traumatic stress disorder common to many soldiers.
That journey is masterfully laid out by the director, James
Mangold. The extended cut brings you all that heartache with more brutal
action, which is only one of several reasons to opt for it over the theatrical
release. First, it’s a longer version of the theatrical release. Second, it
includes behind-the-scenes footage of the film. Finally, they give more
background on the comic and Japan story lines that informed the film.
If you’re looking for the best X-Men movie made to-date, look no
further. There’s tons of great action, ninja battles, and one of Wolverine’s
classic nemeses, The Silver Samurai. And just in time for Christmas.
Keep on working, great job!
