For adults, just as it should be!
Wow! This is just a review of the difference brought by the Extended cut. Let me just make one thing clear, there’s no version of Wolverine that’s acceptable for children. I don’t know why Hollywood even tries. A PG-13 berserker killer is still a berserker killer. With that said, this extended version has more cussing. I’m talking F-bombs and S-bombs here. The violence is turned up to the point where Wolverine stabs one of the Yakuza and his blood (or guts) splatter onto the screen (Yes!). There are other scenes with blood in them that I didn’t notice in the theatrical version, but nothing too gory except maybe for the ninja scene. Speaking of which, there’s a a whole scene with the ninjas that was cut out of the theatrical cut that is so deliciously bloody and violent that it reminded me of Sceptic Avenger, only with blood (Saints Row 2 fans will know the reference). If you’re a Wolverine fan, don’t even bother with the PG-13 version. What’s the point? This guy is a killer and you came to see what he does best, but what he does isn’t very nice.I still have to drop a star for the stupid robot, that worthless mutant called Viper (in name only), and the apparent continuity flaw in that Wolverine appears to have memories from World War II. As far as I remember, everything from at least the weapon X program and back is a blank. It could be argued that him visiting Nagasaki jogged his memory of his time there, but he has a memory of this on the way to Japan as he looks out the window of the plane. Very confusing and annoying. Also, there’s no mention of the mutant cure from X3, which is ridiculous considering why Wolverine is brought to Japan in the first place (before the truth is revealed). Wolverine acts like removing mutant power is impossible.

Great solo Wolverine movie
The Wolverine is one of the better if not best solo Fox-Marvel character films made. Its an iteration on a similar comic story, with changes to make it its on in the Cinematic Universe. It has some flaws but does well enough to keep the audience happy and engaged.

My favorite film of the year, one of my all time favorites as well.
I went to see this already being a big fan of the past X-Men films, though I was upset with X3 and Singers departure as well as the cheesy nature of the last Wolverine film. This new Wolverine film had me at the edge of my seat the entire time. I get bored fast with films, being a screenwriter as well as filmmaker, I can usually foresee the entire film. Star Trek was okay but a let down for me, Man of Steel felt like it had too much endless action, Iron Man 3 felt forced at times, The Wolverine though was the highlight of the summer for me. I found myself lost inside the narrative, and as great films do, forgot that I was in a theater watching a film and simply experienced the film. Of course this film was made by the same director as the new 3:10 to Yuma, and Walk the Line, so if you enjoyed those films, you’ll probably like this one. This film is a great character bridge also from X3 and into X-men Days of Future past, which releases next year. It’s not directly connected, but presents Wolverines transition as a lost soul to finding a purpose. The only things you really need to k ow about X-Men to watch this film is that at the end of X3 he killed a woman he loved because she was killing others and lost control of her powers, he had his bones covered in an industrucible metal, and that Wolverine has a healing power and has also been alive for about 200 years.

Better than Expected
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (the film that came before this one) had some disappointing moments, particularly to the hardcore fans. I really enjoyed “The Wolverine” though, and if there’s one real flaw to this movie, it’s just that there wasn’t a particular need to make it. This is a great one-off story about The Wolverine. It takes place after the events of the third X-Men movie (“X-Men III: The Last Stand”) and in some ways this story attempts to address some of the issues with that movie, filling in bits that legitimize some of the unpleasant tragedies that for some fans really marred that film.The Wolverine has some really great moments. It starts with an interesting backstory set during World War II and as it brings the story forward to modern day, Logan has a chance to explore his own needs. He questions what it means to go on living, and he examines the things that have happened in the past. I’m reluctant to spoil this story too much for you, so I’ll focus on some of the basics:- it has some fantastic martial arts sequences- it has one of the best ‘top of a train’ fight scenes I’ve ever seen–a sequence that reminds me of the excitement of the highway battle in the second Matrix movie because it gives a couple of nods to that scene.- our hero has the proverbial rug pulled out from under him: he isn’t as strong as he usually is, there is a lot more real danger for him, and because the movie takes place almost entirely in Japan, he’s in unfamiliar territory- Hugh Jackman pulled out all the stops in trying to give Logan emotional depth while still keeping his character the warrior that he is–we get some great acting in this film, particularly at the very beginning and very end.This review is for the 3D Blu-Ray though, so I have to take a moment to say that this is a pretty full package. I like the fact that we get both the original and Extended editions. The 3D aspect is a lot more mature: the movie doesn’t use 3D to see how many things it can throw at your eyes. Instead it tries to paint a three-dimensional world. I watched this on my Vizio 47″ 3D HDTV in 1080p and loved the feel of it: the 3D look made my TV more like a window with the action inside of it.If you haven’t seen this movie yet because one of the previous films disappointed you, I think you’ll be pleased with the improvement here. If I had to compare “The Wolverine” to “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, I’d say I’m much happier to have this movie than that one, and glad I paid a bit extra for the Extended Edition. It doesn’t have any critical story tie-ins to the new movie “X-Men: Days of Future Past”, so consider this an entertaining side story.

What many I heard called the almost good movie
It makes sense especially considering this is the same film that teased the possibility of the full costume only for the him to just not go for it which still pisses me off to this very day but it was made up for thanks to Deadpool and wolverine. Regardless of any of that it’s still a fairly solid film despite certain discrepancies. I’m just happy to have a double disc Blu-ray and DVD version of it. Took me long enough.

Good film!
Wolverine is definitely my favorite marvel character. He was one of the first anti-heroes, and helped usher in the gray area in hero plot lines, where good and evil wasn’t always so black and white. Having said that, I acknowledge the indisputable fact that he is, at times, overused, and that that overuse at times gets in the way of the development of some of the other great marvel characters that have been portrayed in film and in comics.That being said, this is one of the more interesting takes on his character I’ve seen. The story deals with Logan coming to grips with his immortality and its implication, and an offer to finally be allowed to die. While it is a bit slow to start, the plot is decent, if imperfect, and the fight scenes are extremely well choreographed and intense without being too over-the-top. (Yes, I am aware that we’re dealing with a character who can get stabbed in the heart with a large sword, pull it out of his chest, and then use it against his enemies without so much as flinching.) This film is of particular note because it neither overpowers nor under powers its protagonist.This collection comes with an extended version, which I think is worth viewing – I even liked it a bit more than the theatrical cut. It IS worth noting, however, that the extended scenes add a noticeable amount of – dare I say it – sadistic blood, gore, and language. I would think twice before viewing the extended cut with your children.

One of the Best “Superhero” Movies to Date
I was only a comic reader for about 15 years, starting in the early 1980s. It was a time when “graphic novels” had started to issue with very adult themes and serious character development, not all BAM POW BOP. In all honesty, at times The Uncanny Xmen, one of the titles I did read, was like a soap opera with moody character conversations about being lonely cast-outs in a hostile world.That being said, I loved the series I read and it was a time when the events in this movie had already taken place – Kitty and Wolverine was an early maxi-series for me – and so I tend to prefer a balance of fight scenes and character development. Especially in comparison to its prequel, this movie is thoughtful and shows Logan as a person, with clear motives and sensible reactions to things. Anyone looking for 120 minutes of RAWR and fighting will be reasonably disappointed and should go play a video game instead. It portrays him as a man with feelings trying to sort out his place in a world he dislikes but was drawn into by a rare event – falling for Jean Grey.I’d think even people who don’t like comics could enjoy this one, with the exception of the final battle which gets a little geeky and “comicey.” As a side note, when comics started introducing super-wealthy characters with secret labs it was a lot harder to buy than it is now with our ever-increasing income disparity in the world and billionaires running around. The only real “technical” objection I saw with the movie was several instances where Logan’s tracking instincts – smell and intuition – would have come into play but were not included. Whatever – it would have made the movie less accessible for some audiences.If you want non-stop mindless action battle scenes you’ll be disappointed, but so many of these comic adaptations suffer from a loss of connection between the characters’ back stories and their actions because there’s not enough time to develop the story so the actions seem inauthentic or disconnected. Overall I think this is one of the best superhero/mutant films we’ve had, in part due to the script and also to the fine acting of Hugh – who we’re lucky to have in our generation to portray Logan. Here we get a great movie all around. Bravo.

Did not expect to like this movie as much as I did. Wow!
After X-Men: The Last Stand, I kind of fell out of love with the X-movies. Then X-men: First Class got me excited again, but I had completely lost interest with the modern storyline. X2 is the best of the originals, but it still has it’s hokey moments and general kid-friendliness. Xmen 1 is decent, but not my favorite. I never really loved an X-men movie until first class.So when they announced The Wolverine, I didn’t get too excited. But then I heard that they wanted to do it in Japan, Mangold was a good director, but I still didn’t really feel the motivation. And then I read that Mangold said he had an extended and R-rated version of his movie. That had me curious. The trailer for the movie didn’t sell me at all, but I’m a cinephile, so I figured I’ll wait and see the unrated version, although I assumed it would be indistinguishably different.Having just watched The Wolverine, I can say this is the best X-men film yet. Better than X2 and better than First Class (both of which I really dug)The movie feels adult. I can’t stress enough how much I mean that as a compliment. There is no goofiness, no terrible one liners, winks at the audience about other X-men or Marvel references. This is an honest to it’s story and focused on it. Wolverine’s claws maim people and he smokes and swears. And with the unrated edition, one might think this would be video game levels of violence. Amazingly not the case. It’s unhinged but reserved at the same time. Restraint was shown and yet nothing feels held back.Not since Nolan’s Bat films have I really felt a superhero movie that was mature. This didn’t feel like a superhero movie, it felt like an action film abotu a guy with claws. And it’s so much better for it.With The Avengers, Batman vs Superman, and X-men Days of Future Past, we aren’t afforded opportunities to tell focused superhero stories anymore. Here we got actual character development, and a story that was smaller but all the better for it. Last time I appreciated a smaller film like this was Thor.Bottom line, this is the best X-men film, but you wouldn’t know it. It stands on it’s own as a very mature film. I hope future superhero films take a page out of Mangold’s book. And now I’m not at all disappointed there will be another one. (But there are other X-men needing films)

One of Marvel’s Best Offerings
4.5 stars I’d say. This review is long overdue for me. I enjoyed this movie very much, but more than that, I thought it was a great film. Bryan Singer’s X-Men films are breathtaking in their spectacle but this film is equally impressive in its meditative quality. Aside from the action sequences, which are great, and a bit of a wild climax, there is a good bit of downtime in this film during which the film explores Wolverine’s struggle with his powers, the cost of those powers, and the meaning of immortality. I don’t think the films delves into it as intellectually as it might have, but, by filming it the way he has, James Mangold shows us that the film is a least as concerned with being a story about people and legacy as much as it is with being a “superhero” movie. I have always liked the association of Wolverine with Japan in the comics. It seemed very natural, and I’m glad to see that story translated on film. The theme of Wolverine as a Ronin ties in nicely with the problem Logan has of outliving everyone he may fight for (Yoshiga) or care about (Jean). Lovely storytelling.All in all, I expected this movie to receive better reviews from critics than it did. It’s underrated, not just as a Marvel movie, but as a film in general (and Mangold, as usual, continues to be underrated as a director). The movie gets around to one of the seminal events in superhero storytelling–showing us the hero without his powers. The question is, implicitly, is he still a hero? And it allows for an examination of the character’s humanity. This was done in Superman II when Superman gives up his powers to be with Lois Lane; it’s done in Spider-man 2, wherein we see Peter save a child from a burning building without the benefit of his powers; we saw it in Iron Man 3 when Tony Stark has to improvise an attack without the benefit of his suit; we saw it in The Dark Knight Rises when Bruce Wayne goes broke, and has to see what he’s really made of as a man in escaping from the pit. And generally, showing us a superhero without his powers has basically the same effect as planting a fundamental weakness in the hero–eg. Kryptonite for Superman and Water for Bruce Willis’s character in Unbreakable. The device works well in The Wolverine as Logan is repeatedly haunted by thoughts of Jean Grey forcing him to wonder if being mortal is really such a bad thing.As I said, I think this film is underrated, and I would in fact place it in the top five superhero films to come out of the genre since the release of X-Men in 2000. In no particular order, I think the top five of the last 15 years are Batman Begins, Spider-man 2, Unbreakable, The Wolverine, and X-Men: Days of Future Past. However, there are a number of others of surprisingly high quality that they could appear on such a list–Captain America: The Winter Soldier, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: First Class, to name just a few. I continue to be amazed by the quality of Marvel films, since it seems like studio executives will inevitably screw up a good thing by trying to get too involved, thinking they know best (e.g., Superman III, and, recently, Amazing Spider-Man 2). Finally, this review would not be complete without giving props to Hugh Jackman for giving the role and the character such respect, and not playing the character with a big wink of the eye (like Roger Moore did with his James Bond films), just because it’s a fantasy story. Overall, an excellent addition to the Marvel film canon.
