The Wolverine
Admittedly, it was a low bar, but The Wolverine is a damn fine X-Men movie. It’s almost good.
The Wolverine takes the classic Miller-Claremont 4 issue Wolverine comic and translates it to the screen. I hadn’t read it in about 2 decades, but from what I can remember, all the story beats are there.
I liked Yukio. She’s bad-ass. I liked Mariko: now that’s a Japanese name. I didn’t think the baddy, Viper, was anything.
The plot kind of meandered for a bit. It didn’t make sense at times: like it needed to wrap up some time.
Stay through the end credits.
3 of 5 stars.
