Doesn't have the feel of an X-Men movie at all. More like they added Wolverine to a samurai movie as an afterthought. I say C

Rating: 5/10 (11 October 2013)

"You are strong. You have courage, real courage but that won't help you much now." Logan (Jackman) is called to Japan by an old friend. What he finds is something he never could have imagined. For the first time in his live Logan is vulnerable and is pushed to his limits to not only save himself but to save those around him and even The Wolverine is no match for what he has to face. First of all I will say that I liked the first X-men and loved First Class but wasn't a fan of the others so I wasn't really looking forward to this one all that much. I am also not a comic book fan. I say that for two reasons. First I know the movie is based off a comic story line so fans of that will love this movie. For the casual X-Men fan like me this is nothing like an X-Men movie at all. Again even though this is based off an actual comic plot the movie felt like; "Let's make a samurai movie." "No one in America would watch one though" "Put Wolverine in it and they will." Without trying to give anything away they could have done this movie with out the Wolverine character and it would have not changed anything. There is even a scene where he uses a Samauri sword to fight with instead of his claws...really. The best part of the movie is the little scene during the credits so be sure to watch that. Overall, this does not have the feel of an X-Men movie at all so if that's what you are looking for be warned. Comic book readers will love this though. I didn't. I give it a C.
