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.

This is definitely a Wolverine that I wasn’t sure if I would
like. Having him mortal is an interesting idea, although it just doesn't seem
right to me. It grew on me after a while, because I understand that there has
to be a part in every super hero plot where they lose their powers. It’s just
always been a weird idea in my opinion. Wolverine being in Japan is
definitely a new innovation to the movies and highly entertaining as watching him
in a place with a different culture than his way of living is hilarious. The
part where they force Wolverine to clean up is especially funny, as it was like
bathing an unwanting pet. The train fight scene was one of the best fight
scenes I've seen in a while. There is something about high speed action that is
always incredible. If you are a fan of Wolverine and X-Men you should
definitely see this movie. Be sure to stay for the credits for something as
well.
