Movie Info

Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine in this sequel to the member of the X-Men's first solo outing. Mark Bomback and The Usual Suspects' Christopher McQuarrie penned the script, which takes its inspiration from the Chris Claremont/Frank Miller Marvel miniseries from the 1980s dealing with the character's adventures in Japan as he fights ninjas in the ceremonial garb of the samurai. Knight and Day's James Mangold directs. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

It's a relief to come across a blockbuster that finds a location and stays there, rather than hopping desperately from one place to the next ...

It restores the tarnished lustre to this most fan-beloved of Marvel characters by doing precisely what Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's near-sacred 1982 run did: It pumps some feeling into the guy along with his muscles and steel talons.

Director James Mangold's film features some breathtakingly suspenseful action sequences, exquisite production and costume design and colorful characters, some of whom register more powerfully than others.

Too quickly the random fights pile up -- so many yakuza thugs who forgot to wear chain mail that morning -- and you yearn for the film that might have been.

Mangold front-loads the action, but near the end there's a first-rate fight atop a bullet train between Wolverine/Logan and some especially pesky ninjas. It puts the train fights in the recent The Lone Ranger to shame.

Ultimately, this is Jackman's film, and he plays the reluctant but fearsome hero perfectly.

Moderadamente eficaz, mas não deixa de ser sintomático que sua melhor cena seja aquela que surge apenas durante os créditos finais.

Slick, entertaining, super-hero thrill ride, the only quibbles are its length - every big film these days seems to be 20 minutes too long - and its 3D conversion. Really, it's another example of the marginal difference that process often makes.

A superior, even adult Marvel Comics adaptation that plays almost like a straight gangster/yakuza thriller for much of its length, until the obligatory climactic superhero/supervillain dust-up.

For all the up and down The Wolverine is definitely more up than down more of the time... It still doesn't feel like the definitive adventure for the character, but there's potential for the character still.

The Wolverine is surprisingly dour and uneventful, at least by the carnage-n-claptrap standards of modern superhero movies

August 5, 2013 Full Review Source: Crikey

Much of the reason Wolverine has become everyone's favorite Canadian mutant is because, despite his origins in the Marvel Universe, he doesn't act much like a superhero.

It's Hugh's movie, and he's in formidable form, whether chatting with the dead Jean Grey, skewering multiple baddies, clinging to a bullet train's roof or performing seriously ouchy auto-surgery.

... a holdover to distract us from what we've been craving all along... it's still better than the last Wolverine sorta-solo outing, so there's that.

The standout moment is when Logan gets to grips with an assailant atop a hurtling bullet train. Fights on the roofs of speeding trains are a cinematic cliché, but the giddying velocity of the Japanese train gives the scene a uniquely thrilling momentum.

Audience Reviews for The Wolverine

As same as the first movie, 'The Wolverine' is an entertaining movie that continuing the journey of Logan whom we know as Wolverine after the death of Jean Grey.. And even though Hugh Jackman face can't lie to show he's getting older, Jackman shows his workout that really works with his body.. For the story itself, it was a decent but it was helped with the action scenes in this movie that quite memorable such as when Wolverine try to save Mariko and being ambushed by Black Ninja.. And for the performance, Mariko and Yukio steal my attention with their performance..

A truly mind-blowing and utterly spectacular action-packed epic that is also just pure exhilaration from start to finish. The most satisfying and strongly told story on Wolverine yet, it shows the characters regret and eagerness for redemption and to finally leave his life behind and also really shows the fury and intensity that makes him the anti-hero we know and love him as. Hugh Jackman gives his most riveting and ferocious performance yet as Wolverine. Jackman never fails to thrill or entertain with this great character or with his amazing performances, showing in the last couple years that he is a truly outstanding method actor who can tackle any genre with emotional and physical commitment. Director, James Mangold crafts a remarkable adaptation of the Japan storyline, adding in homages of other classic films and crafting an intense and brilliant feast of fantasy and mayhem. An explosively entertaining thrill-ride that delivers scorching suspense and edge of your seat action that keeps your heart-pounding all the way to the end. It's an unforgettable roller-coaster ride that delivers the goods. It's solidly character-driven, dark, very well-paced and expertly crafted story. A true adrenaline-packed instant classic. One truly awesome movie the gets the job done and done right.
