'The Wolverine':Mutan VS Ninja and Samurai
Starting from the story after the movie X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), Logan (Hugh Jackman) could not sleep well and always dreamed of with Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), who forced his girlfriend killed because he turned into Phoenix destroyer. He feels guilty and restless life, beard and his hair was like a caveman. Among his nightmare, Logan also remember the events of 1945 in which he saved a Japanese soldier named Yashida in Nagasaki when the atomic bomb was dropped.
When confronted hunters who tortured and killed a grizzly bear, a red-haired woman samurai, Yukio (Rila Fukushima) interrupt. Yukio pick Logan to take him to Japan, because her employer, Yashida Logan dying and wanted to see one last time. Yukio himself is a mutant with the ability to foretell the future.
In Japan, Yashida Logan instead offers to remove the power and ability to heal immortal lightning, and transfer them to Yashida. Logan refuses, then Yashida died. At the cremation ceremony, a ninja suddenly came and took Mariko (Tao Okamoto), grandson Yashida which inherits all the wealth and power of his grandfather.
Logan save Mariko, while one of the ninja, Harada (Will Yun Lee) is a lover Mariko. Meanwhile Logan ability to weaken and wound difficult to heal as usual, due to the presence of insects in the heart swallower skills instilled by mutant Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova), which has been the nurse of Yashida. With conspiracy plan of his own Mariko's father, Shingen Yashida (Hiroyuki Shanada) and justice minister Noboru Mori (Brian Tee) make it difficult Mariko qualify.
As a second movie about Wolverine, The Wolverine presenting the story and execution that is more interesting than the X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). Moreover, the plot, as well as pay tribute blatant link that this is a continuation of X-Men The Last Stand. At the end of the movie after the credits roll, those extra scenes that would be embraced by fans as it gives excerpts rest of the story in X-Men Wolverine subsequently being produced (and is a continuation of X-Men: First Class), the X-Men: Days of Future Past . It is the skill and habit of Marvel to provide the links between his films.
And the director James Mangold (Walk the Line, Knight and Day) raised a film that is quite important for the continuation of the chain of X Men story on the big screen, but have not provided even more remarkable breakthrough innovations such as the trilogy Nolan's The Dark Knight or the Man of the work Steel controversial from Zack Snyder.
Of manuscripts that often elicits simple dialogues and sometimes cheesy, Mangold directing The Wolverine became more organized and neatly told. Footage confirms the emergence of Jean Grey and further strengthen the understanding of the human side of the traumatic and the "beast" Wolverine. Moreover, Wolverine can then tired and hurt his ability as humans when disturbed, so fragile position. There is little splinter of humor, but only slightly.
With a share of drama and action imbalance, one of the action scenes are fresh enough knife fights yakuza vs. adamantium claws in the train cars. In addition, some of the action from the wily ninja moves silently together, then fight Jackman as ronin vs ninja with koreograsi riveting, a homage to the samurai films and Asian games.
A Japanese beauty scenery can also be enjoyed from the typical traditional Japanese house with a pond, temples, streets, gardens, beaches, to love hotel. The fight ninjas, mutants, and the samurai providing a fresh new look for the film adaptation of the comic super human. Everything is embellished with a strong musical score by Marco Beltrami who combines western and eastern elements effectively.
Although Okamoto and Fukushima have not had much acting experience, but they were able to keep actors like Jackman and Hiroyuki Sanada. Can not be denied The Wolverine mengajikan some keklisean and repetition method superhuman films, as well as adaptations featuring some gimmick like Silver Samurai is somewhat different from the comic. The Wolverine but still entertaining and has a scene after the credits roll that satisfy fans of the X-Men.
