Inaccuracies stink

Rating: 3/10 (1 August 2013)

This movie was sort of heading in the right direction until the Silver Samurai turned out to be a robot. In the 4 issue mini-series, Wolverine and theSilver Samurai had an epic battle which would have been great to see in the movie. Not to mention that the Silver Samurai is a mutant who has the power to generate an energy field manifested through his katana. How sad this could not have been portrayed accurately in the movie. Instead of the epic no quarter given battle that was expected to be between the Silver Samurai and Wolverine, we are left with...Wolverine vs Mariko's father and then Wolverine vs the "dead" grandfather? Wolverine never had his claws cut off in the mini-series by the Silver Samurai, and the Silver Samurai was always himself, not some robot/old man who wanted to suck out his healing powers. These deviations may seem minor, but to the fans who collected the comics and followed the X-Men and Wolverine growing up, you did us a huge injustice. This movie could have been done so much better. At least Yukio was pretty much right on and Mariko was pretty.
