In The Wolverine , Logan faces organized crime in Japan, where Yashida, a man who saved his life in the past, offers something that takes time forward: deprive him of his immunity.
James Mangold had it pretty hard, I must say. Following the release of the tape loose unexpectedly threw Wolverine solo in 2009, Hugh Jackman had it right: if you look back claws would be to relaunch the character doing something new and quality.
In this sense they do not fit doubt, Wolverine Immortal lacks for nothing: there is good action sequences in a unique setting, a search of balance by our protagonist, who is torn between guilt and the need to find himself looking for a vital motivation and no room even for the romance, though it is rather forced.
The point is that the film fails paramount: to identify a villain nemesis act as Logan and give coherence to get all the material at the end of the tape.
As a platform to relaunch the character, though, the film does its job and thanks to the classic post-credits scene, which links directly to what we see in X-Men: Days of Future Past , is perfectly clear that this episode is a hinge between what we saw and what we’ll see.
Does either the universe has exploded East? Well that’s more debatable: truth is that there is a wide body of yakuza, ninja, samurai, an approximation of the bombing of Nagasaki and even a Japanese brothel as kitsch, but gives almost the feeling that you can see the recipe behind the screenplay for Christopher McQuarrie ( Jack Reacher ), Mark Bomback ( Total Recall ) and Scott Frank ( Minority Report ) and the pieces do not quite fit in the supposedly final apotheosis in which disintegrates attention between different characters whose side not be clear finishes.
The best times offers a Hugh Jackman ronin haunted unbeatable as only the end get back to themselves as Wolverine and Rila Yukushima as Yukio, who stars in two action sequences that are pure comic book into a movie: a pleasure to see how well it traps Mangold essence of action.
The bullet train scene, which had previously been seen as part of the promotion of brand tape one of the climate of the tape.
At the other end of the scale, we note that clearly plenty of character reinveción Viper who gives life a beautiful Svetlana Khodchenkova , which can not find its role in the film. Mind you, not because the character is not interesting or because the interpreter does not know getting into their role of femme fatale, but because the narrative level simply does not work and kicked the original comic book, or talk, of course (if you have doubts you can go to great story of David Guzman for clarification). Harada ( Will Yun Lee ) is one of the worst characters in the film stand out for the same reason.
In sum, The Wolverine can be seen and entertains although its last stretch pass a soporific pace final fireworks as bombastic as confusing.
With eyes already Trask and the exultant antagonist X-Men: Days of Future Past that is none other than the fabulous Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones ) we dare to say that Wolverine has risen from the ashes and that is here to stay, but next time do not be in an environment as episodic.
