Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 1h 3 mins) Young Yashida gives Wolverine a samurai sword with six Kanji letters engraved on it. These kanji read, "Never Died, Never Aged, Never Destroyed." This is appropriate for Wolverine.
- Goofs(at around 4 mins) Explosions do not enter blind cavities like the well shown. Even a shallow ditch is sufficient protection from a blast wave. Blind tunnels are used in mines to protect workers from explosions.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: as Wolverine enters an airport security check, he comes face to face with Magneto and Professor X, who request his assistance for a new threat to mutants. This leads into X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).

Featured review
not much entertainment value
Some time after the events of The Last Stand, this sequel of sorts focuses on Logan/Wolverine as a tortured soul living in isolation and haunted by vivid memories of his lost love. Now, having reached an emotional impasse, he travels to Japan to visit an old comrade. Once there, he quickly gets caught up in a complex political power struggle that, for the first time in his life, makes him truly vulnerable. Jackman, not unexpectedly, is formidable in the lead, and there are lots of visceral action scenes, but that does little to compensate for the faults; film's tone is grim, its characters—sans Jackman—are unappealing, plotting is convoluted, subject matter turns ugly, and the pace lags heavily after a strong start. Jackman effectively spits, scowls, snarls, and flexes his muscles in what has become his go-to role, but he has almost no support; too long, too dark, and too serious to really be fun. **
