I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This movie isn't great, and there isn't a whole lot of tension as I already saw the movie Logan before this one, but its still fun. The story is good, as well as the fight scenes. Its a solid movie. Again, its not great. It just kind of exists. Its miles better than X-Men Origins: Wolverine, that's for sure.
At some point in this movie it becomes clear that it's just a concatenation of set pieces. It's not even the Wolverine character we've seen so far. He's kinda boring, never as much of a smart-ass as in the X-Men or even the Origin movie. Also The Wolverine is missing a real baddie. The mutants (Viper, actually a snake woman, here more of a Poison Ivy character) are not that present. The Japan setting never really shines. The film misses a lot of opportunities for great cinematography. There are little moment though! Hugh Jackman standing on top of a building while it's raining. Suddenly it feels like Blade Runner. That's cool but totally out of place here. Also the guest appearances by Famke Janssen as Jean Grey are stupid. Not that it doesn't fit in this story but you NEED to watch X-Men: The Last Stand before this "Stand-Alone" to understand why she's here. While X-Men: Origins - Wolverine was just stupid, this is a disappointment.
This is a must see for fans of Wolverine, Hugh Jackman and Japanese women. Okamoto also played Mercy in BvS, she's pretty much just perfectly beautiful.It has a great cast, amazing eye candy, fantastic action, awesome FX AND funny enough, they don't play Mr. Roboto once. I think I prefer this movie over Origins and Logan. I watch this every year.
