What's the difference between a Japanese Geisha and The Wolverine?

Rating: 3/10 (18 January 2014)

Well the Geisha loves to eat sushi, while The Wolverine can make sushi out the Geisha girl(LOL).
Now that the jokes over, lets get on with the review. Having seen the previous X-men Origins: Wolverine 2009 film, I expected this one to be some notches better. Nope, that was no to be. Bitterly disappointed.
The film is set in the country of Japan. X-men is a U.S. franchise, so whats the idea behind a Japanese setting? Maybe the Japanese are biggest buyers of U.S. anime and comic books(?) Well if that's the case....
The film opens in 1945. Wolverine is held in a Japanese POW camp near Nagasaki. During the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Logan rescues a Japanese officer named Yashida and shields him from the blast. Yashida repays the favor by helping Wolverine escape from Japan.
Years later in the present day, Yashida wishes to see Wolverine again and so he sends Yukio, a mutant with the precognitive ability to foresee people's deaths, to fetch him. Wolverine refuses to go at first, but then reluctantly agrees to go possibly because Yashida helped him escape from Japan.
The rest of the film moves to Japan till its conclusion.
I'm a fan of Hugh Jackman since the X-Men Trilogy of films days. Those films were the cream of the crop, because they starred established Hollywood actors the likes of: Ian Mckellen, Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen etc., etc. Also good script, plot and setting for the film.
This film feels like it does no belong in the X-men universe. And even Hugh Jackman cannot rescue the film, because of the bogus plot and horrible supporting cast of actors. Even the special effects in the film are mediocre, compared to films like The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-man which I enjoyed immensely.
Verdict: if you expect this film to be better than the X-Men films you are in for a big disappointed. If you want to kill some time, why not watch it for free online.
