An attempt to keep the real fans happy

Rating: 7/10 (8 September 2013)

Most are still waiting for that "great" x-men movie, and saw this as the chance to redeem a series that has disappointed so many. Who can blame them? "The Wolverine" is based on one of the more popular story lines from the comic books, so it really is an attempt to keep the real fans happy, in a way the last couple of movies have not. Which was already a good thing, before even having seen it.
Aye this flick will no doubt wet the appetites of Wolverine fans, as he arrives in a scenic Japan. The movie is not without its flaws, but being set in Japan makes for a nice change (Much like the 60's setting did for "X-men – first class"). This Movie has learnt from its predicesors mistakes, and isn't crammed with to many ideas or other mutant's, and there's plenty of action and character stuff, as well as lots of Hugh Jackman topless, to cater to the women dragged along by their boyfriends.
Folk are still complaining however (and I'm about to join them). I'm not sure why others are winching, but I thought the final twist of "Wolverines" plot really ruined the whole darn thing. I love a twist when it makes sense. But this flicks final big reveal during the big finale is one of those questionable ones that pretty much ruins the whole plot of the movie. Even more than some of the terrible continuity errors that this series has now got under its belt.
