Story:In modern day Japan, Wolverine is out of his depth in an unknown world as he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.

Likes : First thing I can say is this wasn't a film I could say wow this is a brilliant film due to it being a little too slow in place but it's a good film, better than the last one they did & worth watching even for the end bit after the credits which really showed something interesting in store for the next film. It's more of an emotional journey for Logan in this film as it is set after x-men 3 :last stand, with a good concept with a lot of japanese history thrown in make it an interesting film to watch. We see a more aggressive & emotional side of wolverine that we haven't yet see, this film really give the wolverine character to really shine out & unleash his fully aggressive nature which was really showed in some of the beautiful choreographed fight scene. It also shows a bit more a logan's back ground which was cool for the film altho some scene were pretty nasty special the begin of the film, Hugh Jackman performance was brilliant in this film to really show a side of wolverine we haven't seen yet. Svetlana Khodchenkova play the villainess viper a mutant poisonous spitting mutant, Rila Fukushima was a awesome fighter playing the young daughter Yukio who become fond of logan, some of her fight scene were brutal & fast. Famke Janssen is in this film only as a (cameo) with a few short dream scene's which which was good because its showed a more emotional side of logan & a broken man from what he had to do in last stand movie. The special effects with the big steel samurai was awesome which also showed a big threat to logan which your see in the film also a twist as well in the storyline.
 
Dislikes : Altho this film was good it's slight downer was the slowness in some places was a little to slow but apart from that this film was a good film to watch.

Overall : Fast brutal bloody violent fight scenes, good concept & good twist in the storyline.
 
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.5 out of 10 for concept & action
