Becomes worth watching because of the two Japanese dolls

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2013)

I didn't quite like the story line. Hiroyuki Sanada whom I hoped to have an important role becomes quite futile. A big portion of the story plot goes into the sink because the story decides it wants to be more "super hero" like than Yakuza like.
Viper decides to make an appearance. But her (Svetlana Khodchenkova) hair is not green, it's blonde. I don't known if the marvel hardcore fans would make a fuss about that. In addition she has a mutant power, that I didn't know, I thought she was more like a H.Y.D.R.A. super soldier.
I want to discuss about the silver samurai, but let's not slip to spoilers.
Putting all of that aside, there are two main reasons to like this film, that is Yukio and Mariko. Yukio (Rila Fukushima) is a red head Japanese body guard with spear and sword fighting skills and dresses like a Harajuku girl. Mariko (Tao Okamoto) is the princess in the story that besides being very pretty, has quite good fighting skills. Her weapon is a knife.
And there you have it. Wolverine fighting his way through japan between two delightful girls, slashing countless samurais.
I give it 8/10 for being a film that is liked for a particular reason.
