So, I woke up this morning and noticed I had $5 and nothing to do. What to do, what to do. Well, I could go see the new Wolverine flick. I did and it's safe to say this is the Wolverine flick we should have gotten. (f#ck origins so much, that movie doesn't exist)
The Wolverine is the redemption solo flick for Logan after the terrible Origins. Like First Class was for X-Men after Last Stand. And not only is it a good Wolverine movie but probably the best comic book movie of the year so far.
The story is based off of Frank Miller's Wolverine series where he finds himself in Japan. A pretty good arc to base it on.
In the film Logan is struggling with the aftermath of the events in The Last Stand (aren't we all :troll: ) and living day by day alone trying to leave the life of the Wolverine behind. When suddenly a mysterious japanese girl tracks him down taking him to Japan where a dying old man who he saved years ago from a bomb hopes to make Logan mortal to repay him.
Hugh Jackman still freaking rocks as Wolverine and I can't imagine anyone else playing the guy. He knows his character inside and out and does another amazing job as the beloved Marvel icon. Wolverine's mega healing factor isn't so hot this time around so we're dealing with a more vulnerable Logan but still badass as ever.
The story manages to stay true to its comic book counterpart as much as it can while still being a part of Fox's X-Men universe and also stays pretty entertaining. While it does kind of juggle these multi-conspiracy plots a bit it still manages to not lose its way entirely and bring that good fun.
Just saying, the train fight which I thought might have been the cheesiest part in the film is like my favorite action scene out of the whole thing. It was pretty badass.
I think this is probably the best X-Men film since X2. I am a Wolverine fanboy though.
It's not perfect but it is the best comic book movie I've seen this year so far and fans shouldn't be disappointed. The only thing I still will never like (even though I know it's in the comics) is the stupid freaking bone claws and yes it is in this film a little bit.
Overall like I said, this is the best comic book movie of the year so far in my opinion and if you are a fan of X-Men, Wolverine, or comic books in general, hell just good movies, then go see this movie. I think you won't be disappointed.
Also stick around during the credits for an awesome extra scene to get you excited about what's to come.
If I had to give it a rating I'd give it a 4/5.
