The Wolverine

Well I've watched all the X Men offerings so far, I had to go watch the Wolverine. I know many people were let down by his origins story. It was flawed. Let's be honest and if you know the comics it was probably painful. I do not know the comics and so it was entertainment for me, no more no less. But let's move on from the past and look to what we have now.

We find a tormented Logan not really living after what happened in Last Stand. I had heard that the new movie was going to ignore Last Stand, this film suggests otherwise. Contrary to popular opinion I actually like this. Fine ignore origins it won't fit. but don't ignore the trilogy. I think it could fit in with the backstory to Days of Future Past but maybe I'm biased?

Yukio is bad ass! The fight scenes are well choreographed and exciting. There are ninjas for crying out loud! Ninja's always get plus points from me. A few thing are perhaps predictable whilst others are a bit like what? I wonder if there were a few options for plot development rather than one overall plan. But for me it worked. It was what all the X Men films are. Entertaining.

And then there is the last scene. The one after the credits that if you wait patiently you are rewarded with. If you go and see this film, wait until that scene. Whatever you do you must wait. I had a suspicion what it would be and I was right. I will not divulge any information but you will fan girl your way out of the cinema even if you're a 40 year old man. Most agree it's the best bit of the film, although some people in my party had questions because they didn't watch the after after credits scene in Last Stand. Bwahaha!

So excited for Days of Future Past. I think it could be something really special the way Avengers really stood out among the Iron Man, Captain America etc series of films.
