The best there is!


Snikt! Last Thursday I watched another Marvel's movie for 2013, The Wolverine. Seriously I waited years for this movie because Wolverine is my favorite Marvel character. To give you a head's up, the movie was set after X-men 3: The last stand. Logan faces anxiety or somehow nightmare due to what he did to Jean Grey that's why if you watched the movie you can see Jean pops out every time Logan is depress. He goes on wild and tend to go alone but destiny seeks out when he met Yukio and blah blah blah.

Okay, in the film, Logan travels to Japan, where he engages an old acquaintance in a struggle that has lasting consequences. Stripped of his immortality, Wolverine must battle deadly samurai as well as his inner demons. I observed many things regarding the movie (Good and Bad)

1. Stripping out the healing factor - It's a good plot for the movie to do this so we can see what is the real power of the character when he is vulnerable. I read many articles that on the comic book side they were able to also do this. ( Check out Wolverine# 7).

2. Yukio - through out the film whenever I see Yukio I always tell to my girlfriend " si Charice oh cosplayer na!" hahaha. She looks nice and probably she will appear in the comics too due to the hype.


3. Wolverine is not that intelligent in this film- seriously? In the comics, Wolverine is fluent in many languages including English, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Lakota, and Spanish; he has some knowledge of French, German, Thai, Vietnamese, Farsi and Portuguese. Ogun taught him Japanese ideograms. You can see in the movie that he ask yukio what does it mean whenever he doesn't understand something.

4. Less talk less mistake? - kinda boring but if you watch just to see fight scenes it might satisfy your movie urge.

5. Silver Samurai- I remember my gf asked who was the robot, " Si iron man ba yan or transformers?". Why make it robot? I wish they do the original concept in comics wherein Silver Samurai is a real samurai not just another piece of junk in a suit. ( But the fight scenes are awesome)




WATCH IT OR WOLVERINE WILL SLASH YOU, BUB.
