This film is based off the Wolverine character created by Marvel hero comics, and is the sixth installment to the X-Men film franchise. Logan, Wolverine, is summoned to Japan by an old war acquaintance, Yashida. Logan protected Yashida from an atomic bombing. Logan soon finds himself fighting his past demons and fighting to keep his immortality while protecting Mariko Yashida.
This film was directed by James Mangold. This film servers as a sequel to the X-Men series and a prequel to the new X-Men film about to be released. This film keeps its cartoon like style, but mixes it with emotional heart and highly computerized animation action. This film's story focus' more on recovering the character's soul while testing his emotional and psychical limits. I think about having seen the Wolverine as pretty much the lead in the X-Men films, and a prequel of his story, his character had been over used. There are other X-Men out there.This film just makes his past even more complicated than before. However, there are several moments when the story goes against set in stone facts. It also shows very few other mutants. This film has plenty of intense action. It also has plenty of computer animation.
Hugh Jackman returned to his role of Wolverine. As always, he makes the film worth watching. He has discovered some new angels of the character to play and build off. Tao Okamoto played the role of Mariko. She was good but she did not do anything to make her stand out in the film. It unfortunately, made her character feel unimportant. Rila Fukushima played the role of Yukio. She was good in her very limited role. She created a new personality that is almost never seen on film. Svetlana Khodchenkova played the role of Viper. She did great creating one of the must disturbing mutants in the franchise. Hal Yamanouchi, Haruhiko Yamanouchi, played the role of Yashida. He was good for the very short amount of time he was on screen.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It has a lot to create an even more complicated story for Logan, but it doesn't feel important to the franchise.
Answer to last blog: Director Seth Gordon and actor Jason Bateman, Identity Thief, both worked together on the film Horrible Bosses.
