Film review: The Wolverine (2013)
Comparing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" to "The Wolverine" is like comparing apples to oranges. They are both about Marvel's burly and animalistic Wolverine, but they could not be any more different. Origins seemed to explore a bit of Wolvie's past under the framework of the prior X-Men movies (i.e. familiar characters, settings, and themes), but unfortunately it didn't hit home like the prior X-Men films. The writing fell flat, because 20th Century Fox took odd twists and turns with fan favorites like Gambit and Deadpool and then never expanded on them in future films like they promised. Instead of bridging Wolverine's backstory to the acclaimed X-Men trilogy, Fox ended up widening the gap.
However, "The Wolverine," takes an entirely different approach to the eponymous character. Audiences get to see the Adamantium and claws stripped away in a more emotionally driven film. Wolverine is facing an existential crisis. Following the events of "X-Men: The Last Stand"...
The Definitive Wolverine Movie
I Have too admit this movie is a little slow in the beginning but after it finds a pace it is an excellent movie that is Much better than its predecessor X-Men Origins:Wolverine. People Expecting great action sequences like The Avenger be warned because even though it does have GREAT Action Sequences (for example, The Bullet train scene), it is mostly A character driven story that dwells deep into Wolverine's inner troubles as well as the new ones he faces during his journey in Japan. The movie also has a Surprise Ending that will satisfy any x-men movie fan an will make the hardcore X-Men fanboys(like me) go BAT SHIT CRAZY(in a good way).
This movies has its flaws but it is A solid movie in the X-Men franchise.
My Grade:8.9/10.
The BLU RAY 3D version is the one to get if you want the unleashed extended cut
The extended version itself is NOT in 3D but the only way to get it is if you buy the BLU RAY 3D set
If you want the actual movie, buy this version
