    A Step In the Right Direction

    The Wolverine is a decent movie and much better than it predecessor. I think overall it was a good movie, but did have a few plot issues and possibly not enough action. Jackman and Wolverine is still spectacular and it does have him in a little bit truer form to the comic portrayal. I think it one of the top two X-Men franchise movies. The cast was well done and cinematography was great. I do think that the antagonists used in this movie were not played out as well as they could have. I give it a 4 out of 5 over all, but the last 10 - 15 minutes of the movie almost caused it to drop down to a 3. Just some of the ending scenes let something to be hoped for. There is an after credit scene that should be seen and will tease you to what is to come next year with X-Men: Days of Future Past. All in all it was a good movie to watch and good cinematic time. I would recommend to go see it when you get a chance.

    @johnkmccubbin91: Thanks. I think I was kind of brought up in the same way that you were. It's always tough to review movies when they are based off comics, IMO. We all have mental pictures of character and have expectations for the films and so many times we can get let down. I'm glad that this one was better than the last. It re-establishes a little bit of faith in the X-Franchise movies. Hopefully they will continue to be better and better.

    @mr_colossus: Couldn't agree more though there were things I question (like how Wolverine's claws will get the Adamantium back?). I also thought I'd mention that I've also reviewed this if you'd care to have a read of my review?

    @johnkmccubbin91: considering the fact that Logan met Magneto in post-credit scene, I don't see the problem.

    @kairan1979: Yeah that was one of my thoughts, and I hope they actually show it in Days of Future Past.

    @johnkmccubbin91: @kairan1979: I know there are many possibilities for this to be rectified and fix him. I do hope that he would show it in the next movie instead of magically appearing and not worrying about how and why.

    @mr_colossus: That's exactly what I'm hoping for, and am worrying that they'll actually do the later, as it needs to be shown, as although fans can guess it's better to have closure.

    @johnkmccubbin91: I guess it's one of those things to hope for. They might do that or have a little one liner that's suppose to convey what all happened to regain it.

    @mr_colossus: I'd accept that, but I'd rather they showed it happen.

    @johnkmccubbin91: me too, I think that in most cases it's better the visually explain something that may have happened in between a set of movies rather than it just being implied. It tends to work out a little bit better IMO.

      I have been a Wolverine fan most of my life, being introduced to the character at a young age through the 90's Animated series. I have also loved seeing him in the movies, as although not all off them have been amazing, with X-Men Origins: Wolverine having a lot wrong with it I still love to see the character, and hope that he's shown well in this film.PlotSPOILER FREEWolverine travels to Japan to pay his final respects to Ichirō Yashida, a man who he saved from the atomic bomb.

      So I know this movie came out in theaters earlier this summer, but I was at a relative's over said weekend and was not able to post my thoughts right away. I may or may not have be drunk as well...Luckily the DVD came out like last week or whatever and since I was bored tonight, I decided to rent the movie and do a review of it. I like to end things on a positive note, so lets get the bad stuff out of the way first.Also since this movie is now out on DVD I'm not going to bother being careful ab...
