Worst Plot Hole Ever

Rating: 2/10 (15 January 2014)

I have always loved the X-Men movies, so when The Wolverine came out I was extremely excited. But not for long. Although I tend to forgive some of the smaller inconsistencies, this movie has the biggest plot hole I have ever seen. The story COULD NOT have happened. Here's why: In the beginning of The Wolverine, Logan saves Yashida from the Nagasaki explosion in WWII (1945). It then cuts to present day, where the rest of the story takes place. Logan gets called to Japan by Yashida (who is now on his deathbed) and all hell breaks loose. However, according to previous X-Men movies, Logan would not have remembered Yashida AT ALL. Logan has no recollection of anything prior to 1979 after being shot by an adamantium bullet. Therefore, he would not have gone to Japan and none of this would have happened. I'm not quite sure how the screenplay (let alone the entire movie) got past the editing process with a plot hole of this magnitude. To say the least, The Wolverine was one of the most disappointing movies I have seen in years.
