saw this today and I loved it. I'll say this is the best comic book movie of 2013 so far. Logan, Yukio and Mariko were all brilliant. almost everything in this movie was great.

the only thing that I'd label as a flaw in the movie are the villains. I think the grandfather shouldn't have been Silver Samurai in the first place. in the end of the movie it just seems so messed up that Mariko's grandfather and father are both jerks of the highest order. it would have been better if her grandfather was just a good guy who wanted to really just thank and say his goodbyes to Wolverine, and that he had outgrown his fear of death, and also reclaimed the honour that he lost when he effectively deserted back in WW II.

I think Shingen or Harada(comics Silver Samurai) would have been a better choice to be the Silver Samurai. it wouldn't have diminished Shingen character if he was the main villain instead of his father. I guess they could have stuck closer to the original story in that regard, and instead devoted extra time for more Logan and Mariko developing into lovers, which I felt was a little too short. that part in Nagasaki with the two of them was my favourite part of the movie. I loved how Mariko was the one who helped Logan "heal" from a wound his regen powers could not. I really like character stuff like that more so than action.

and speaking of, the action in this movie was awesome. the funeral chase scene ending with the bullet train sequence was badass. Logan struggling, bleeding and gasping for every breath, and he still kicked a lot of ass. that was manly and heroic. his fight with Shingen was badass, and so was Shingen and Yukio's fight inside the lab while Logan was performing surgery on himself. the final battle against the Silver Samurai was okay, but that whole final act was the weak part of the movie.

the ending was neat though. Mariko is now the boss of her family's corporation(actually like this better than the comics). Wolverine moving on from what he did to Jean and just Jean in general, I'm glad for that. Logan no longer has to run and hide, he can walk forward and live and love again, and go on another adventure instead of spending the rest of his very long life as a hermit.

I'll give this a 4 out 5. the best comic book movie of the year, as I said, and probably the second best X-Men Universe movie behind X2. as for the tease at the end, that was nice. I had goosebumps when everyone at the airport froze, but had to chuckle when Professor X had to "drive" from so far away. and it seems like Days of Future Past takes 2 years after the Wolverine, so they can make a sequel(technically a third movie) in the time between this movie and Days. and if they do make a third, I'd very much like it if Mariko and Yukio are in it. Yukio should be Wolverine's side kick in that movie. pick up where the Wolverine left off.

Whats next fow Wolvie?

- the grudge match of the century is on as he goes up against Hulk (hyper violent)
- vs the Mob, a light hearted story in which Logan tells a tale to abunch of goon, he hu may be about to dspatch in typically bloody fashion.
- teaming up w Captain America and Black Widow to go up against Nazis and ninjas
- Logan investigating the murder of his waitress neighbour, which the culprits are the mysterious 'Brothrs'

or!

Weapon X! Wolvie against a terminator, which Wolvie and Captn America battle cyborg Deathloks (future superhero killer)

I think I'd like to see him and Yukio go to Russia and face a certain Red Comrade over there.

[Blah-Blah]

I would also love to see Wolverine Vs Omega Red

Americans are such plebs. I hope the Wolverine at least goes over 120 million domestic. if the drop for next week isn't too severe like week 2, it should be on pace to go over that mark. hoping it'll end up having a domestic gross of 200 million.
