The Wolverine 2013


The Wolverine


     Logan has been living alone in the woods following the death of the woman he loved, Jean Grey.  A Japanese girl has been looking for him.  She has been sent on a mission to bring Logan to Japan to say goodbye to a man he knew in WWII.  They talk to each other but the man dies soon after Logan arrives.  At the funeral, the man’s daughter is kidnapped but Logan saves her.  Everything begins changing for him, he begins to feel mortality and he isn’t healing immediately from his wounds.
     This is one battle and fight after another.  If you remove just half of the battles, there is a tiny plot left behind.  If you want action, this is for you but if you are interested in anything serious, forget it!!  3* (This movie is OK)

126 min, Action directed by James Mangold with Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Hiroyuki Sanada, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Brian Tee, Hal Yamanouchi, Will Yun Lee.

Note:  Imdb 6.8 of 10, 69% critic 70% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 3*.
Special Note:  I cannot help but think it's funny that Jackman as the points on the top sides of his hair!!
