In all seriousness, though, you might want to leave these till after you’ve seen the film.
Okay?
Go ahead
Man, what is it with Logan and picking fights in bars? There were those guys he attacked in X-Men, that time in First Class when he abused Xavier and Magneto, now there’s a whole new set of Canadian dudes (though, to be fair, this one sort of have it coming).
The actress playing Yuriko has a very odd-shaped face: big forehead, tiny chin – she looks a wee bit like The Leader. Still, it fits the whole anime inspired look Mangold was going for.
Does anyone else remember when Logan got all his memories back?
How did Yashida know that Logan’s immortality had become a curse? Sure, he had a bunch of photos of him and a vested interest in convincing him to hand it over, but still… Lucky guess?
Harada gives Hawkeye a run for his money in the archery stakes, once more confirming how useless Hawkeye is as a member of a team of heroes with actual powers. No offense, Jeremy Renner, but there’s a reason your character didn’t get a standalone film.
Freaking ninjas, man. Awesome. Claremont and Miller, you geniuses!
This snow-dusted village is very beautiful. Definite touch of Unforgiven to it.
Wolverine: more like porcupine (after that bit in the aforementioned village, I mean).
Old man Yashida’s still alive and wearing the mechanized Silver Samurai suit…
Called it!
Wolverine gets declawed! Seriously, wow. I know it’s happened before, but those suckers were adamantium. He can’t just grow them back.
Oh, wait. He can. He’s back to bone, though. So much more brittle.
That “Sayonara” bit was good, but a “This thing I have, you can’t have it” line would have been a nice callback, Wolverine proudly accepting who he is and all that.
Best mid-credit sequence ever! Magneto mocks Wolverine by manipulating what metal there is left in his skeleton (which turns out is, you know, a lot), Xavier freezes everyone AND IS ALIVE! Also, we get a Trask shout-out. Rock on, Peter Dinklage.
All we need now is for Magneto to recoat Logan’s claws with adamantium and we’re set for Days of Future Past.
Where did Yuriko get to then?
And that finishes my review of The Wolverine.Â
