Lured to a Japan he hasn't seen since World War II, century-old mutant Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) finds himself in a shadowy realm of yakuza and samurai. Wolverine is pushed to his physical and emotional brink when he is forced to go on the run with a powerful industrialist's daughter (Tao Okamoto) and is confronted -- for the first time -- with the prospect of death. As he struggles to rediscover the hero within himself, he must grapple with powerful foes and the ghosts of his own haunted past.

Critics Consensus

Although its final act succumbs to the usual cartoonish antics, The Wolverine is one superhero movie that manages to stay true to the comics while keeping casual viewers entertained.

Most of all, I love being able to say finally that Hugh Jackman killed as The Wolverine.

Japan seems valued more for its scenery and costumes than anything having to do with its character.

The Wolfman Cometh

An improvement from the first solo Wolverine movie, but still only serves as a throttled version of what is capable with the character.

Rated: 3/5

... James Mangold... stages some impressive scenes but can’t overcome a busy script from Mark Bomback and Scott Frank.

Hugh Jackman redeems the character & delivers a solo film worthy of Wolverine. A more grounded, physical film, The Wolverine delivers everything fans wanted from a solo film featuring Wolverine…except some uncensored bloodshed (See the “Unleashed” Cut of the film). Consider this an appetizer to what James Mangold & Jackman would serve to audiences in a few years time…LOGAN

thiago s

filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, os personagens são fracos também, colocaro o wolverine no japão para enfrentar uns malucos da yakuza, muito ruim, o wolverine meio que salvou, juntou com as cenas de ação, não é um filme que eu recomendo. apareceu o professor xavier e o magneto, mas acho que era para o filme x men dias do futuro esquecido ou nao.

It's a bit boring at times, but mostly good and Hugh delivers a solid performance.

There isn't a world where I watch a movie where Wolverine fights ninjas and a samurai and on top of a bullet train and fights a giant adamantium robot named Silver Samurai who wields heated-adamantium swords and not give it 4 stars. This movie is wacky as fuck yet gritty and grounded at the same time, somehow mixing the two in perfect amounts. THE WOLVERINE is great fun.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
