Wolverine - L'immortale 720p
Logan has become a hermit, living in the woods alone and haunted by nightmares with Jean Grey. One day, the Japanese girl Yukio, who is skilled with a samurai sword, visits Logan and tells that her grandfather, the powerful businessman Yashida, is dying and wants to see him for the last time before dying. Yashida was a Japanese soldier that Logan saved the life of in Nagasaki in the World War II. Logan travels Japan with Yukio and the moribund Yashida offers mortality to Logan, transferring his gift to him, but Logan does not accept the offer. While sleeping, Logan has a weird dream with Yashida's doctor Viper and soon Yashida dies. Logan stays for the funeral and the Yakuza tries to abduct Yashida's granddaughter Mariko during the ceremony. Logan saves and flees with Mariko, but he is shot and does not heal the wounds. Logan protects Mariko and tries to find what has happened to him.
With the X-Men disbanded(no, this doesn't retcon The Last Stand or Origins) and Jean gone(albeit she does appear in this - I won't give away how, but it's perfect for dealing with this part of the aftermath of the previous entries; and Janssen does brilliantly), Logan(Jackman, nailing the role again, hard-drinking and brooding without making it dull - and in the best shape yet) is about to give up. He won't use violence(except for how brutal and bloody this is for being PG-13...), and he's facing inner demons, and the curse of immortality. What good is it to live forever, when those you love die horribly? Yashida(Yamanouchi/Yamamura, given a major arc, and bringing up the further themes of integrity and honor), the dying leader of a huge corporation who he saved at Nagasaki(...!), offers him a chance to die naturally. His granddaughter, Mariko(Okamoto, arguably the lesser of the all-strong female-dominated supporting, all Japanese, cast, who still holds her own) is targeted, and Wolverine protects her.
When you add her mysterious, acrobatic childhood friend Harada(Yun Lee), her abusive father Shingen(Sanada) who both do well in their performances, the pixie-like short badass Yukio(Fukushima, who steals the whole movie - I demand a trilogy devoted to her) who recruits our hero, and the cold doctor Viper(Khodchenkova, who gives the sole poor performance - given that this is about the only English title on her filmography, maybe it's a language barrier thing?) who there may just be something more to, it might sound like this makes the usual mistake of far too many people. I am happy to report that nothing could be further from the truth. The character relationships in this are compelling, dialog well-written, and everything holds up to scrutiny(in fact, this does a tremendous job with subtle setup and payoff) until the third act where all of that and the plot implodes, as we patiently sit through a tedious climax-in-placement-only of a fight.
As this might tell you, this is a stand-alone. While not ignoring continuity, it is far more about giving us a gripping portrayal of our protagonist. Every so often, a standard Summer blockbuster comic book flick will claw its way to the surface. Yes, this does lead to a feeling of genre schizophrenia, and this certainly isn't without its flaws - some of them substantial - still, the inspired elements make it well worth your attention, even if they don't all gel. That is, if you're already a fan. If the berserker rage and Adamantium doesn't already get you going, this one will not change anything. This is a great place to start, if you haven't checked these out so far - it's self-contained and explains everything you need to know well, without spoiling anything it doesn't need to about the others. The action is well-choreographed, and at its best, gets the mano-a-mano, high physicality and intensity that Mangold went for - at its worst, the go-to of shaky-cam makes it hard to follow. There is an appropriate amount of it and none of it goes on for too long.
As an adaptation of the beloved Claremont/Miller mini, this doesn't stray excessively, or stay chokingly close(*cough*Watchmen*cough*). The 3D is barely noticeable - not only a post-conversion. I'd go for 2D; as long as you do go. FX are convincing, save for one early thing, and this doesn't disappear into a heap of CGI - the martial arts are clearly real, stunts and practical work heightening the credibility in a thoroughly realistic world - that does have some superpowers. This makes it fit with the Singer two-logy - further enabling this to wash out the bad taste the earlier attempt at a solo outing. The 115 minute running time before the credits that you should stay through(at least to the midway point) passes by smoothly. I wasn't always at the edge of my seat, but I was nearly always engaged.
There is a lot of disturbing content and a little strong language. I recommend this to any fan of these - graphic novels and motion pictures alike. 8/10 Movies are just supposed to be harmless fun, so yeah, there'll always be some negative racial messages. Hell, I enjoyed Aunt Madea, Norbit, Ping-Pong Playa, and even Borat.
But this one is just a bit distasteful. Its racial messages toward Caucasian-Japanese people is a bit too overt that it's uncomfortable to watch.
* And 45-year-old looking white guy (sure, wolverine is practically ageless, but you get the idea) hooking up with a 23-ish Japanese gal. In fact, this movie is mostly about a white dude protecting 2 really young Asian gals from "the evil Japanese men," who are scums, 90% of the time.
* The Japanese guys in this movie are womanizing scumbags who treats women terribly 95+% of the time. And when they have any type of "semi-romantic" interaction with "white women," (lol) they are either killed or nearly killed. No exception. The message here is amusing: "A 45 year old white guy can hook up with an young Asian gal half his age, but an Asian guy approaching a white woman will be lynched."
* The whole "mysterious oriental stuff" of taking a vow to honor @#$^ is really, really, cheesy. I personally have a couple of Japanese friends and know that is a gross misrepresentation.
Of course, the above things are a recurring theme in Hollywood, so they are nothing new. But if they are to be used in a movie, they must be used subtly and sparingly. Otherwise, it makes the movie distasteful. Until a third act that collapses in a harebrained heap, the director largely succeeds in keeping the more cartoonish aspects at bay, roughing up the surface with organically staged fight scenes and, crucially, raising the stakes by stripping his hitherto indestructible hero of his self-healing powers.
Logan (Hugh Jackman) is persuaded to leave his wilderness hideaway and travel to Japan in order to pay his goodbyes to the dying Mr Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), a Japanese soldier whom he saved from death during the bombing of Nagasaki in 1945. When Logan learns that Yashida's will names his granddaughter Mariko (Tao Okamoto) as the sole heiress to his fortune, discounting his own son (and Mariko's father) Shingen (Hiroyuki Sanada), Logan becomes Mariko's only protection against the Yakuza trying to kidnap her and to kill Logan, who appears to have, for some inexplicable reason, lost his ability to heal. In the X-Men film series, The Wolverine is the sixth movie in the X-Men series, preceded by X-Men (2000) (2000), X2 (2003) (2003), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) (2006), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) (2009), and X: First Class (2011) (2011) and followed by X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) (2014), X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) (2016) and Logan (2017) (2017); with Deadpool (2016) (2016) and its sequels loosely related. In terms of story arc, however, unlike Origins: Wolverine and 1st Class, the events of The Wolverine follow the events of The Last Stand. The Wolverine is loosely based on the 1982 four-part comic-book mini-series that was Wolverine's first solo title created by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. As of 31 May 2017, an eleventh and twelfth movie in the series are, titled respectively The New Mutants (2019) and X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019), are in development and set for release in 2018. The film is primarily set in Japan and explores Wolverine's humanity and feelings of being a stranger in a strange land as well as including the characters of Shingen, Mariko, and Yukio (Rila Fukushima). That story has Logan coming to Japan to meet his girl friend, Yashida Mariko, who was ordered by her crime boss father, Yashida Shingen, to marry a physically abusive associate to settle a debt. Logan confronts her father about this and is beaten and disgraced as a mere Western animal in a duel secretly rigged in the formidable crime lord's favor. Afterward, a deeply discouraged Logan is cast into the street where he is secretly manipulated by Shingen to start a relationship with his personal assassin, Yukio, to unwittingly participate in a mob hit with protecting Mariko arranged as additional incentive. Eventually, Logan realizes the truth, has an epiphany about his humanity and strikes back at Shingen in revenge. The only significant plot element from that mini-series is the opening sequence of Logan dealing with a killer bear that was maddened by a poison tipped arrow and tracking down the irresponsible hunter that shot it and didn't bother to finish it off. There is some brief reference at the Yashida funeral scene of Wolverine being unwelcome by the Yashida clan as a Western interloper in their affairs. Otherwise, the plot is wholly original with additional characters from Marvel Comics like Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova) and Harada (Will Yun Lee). According to Hugh Jackman, the film takes place "eighteen months to two years" after the events of The Last Stand. There are two ways to look at it. The first is that it probably wasn't wrong, she may not have interpreted it correctly. Yukio predicted that Logan would die with his chest ripped open and his heart in his hand. She also mentions that she never gets a complete picture, and such visions are "like looking through a key hole". So what she saw may have been a dead Wolverine with a hole in his chest and a bloody thing in his hand, and assumed it was his heart. However, it may have been the medical bug she mistook for the heart. Wolverine did flatline at one point, so the prediction was correct; her vision simply didn't show her that Wolverine's regenerative capabilities would revive him again. It's highly implausible but it adds to the theme of Yukio being a very highly trained and formidable warrior and is a nod to the legend of a samurai being skillful enough to perform such feats. A katana (samurai sword) is widely considered to be one of the best-designed and finest blades in the world. However, a katana is considerably thicker on the dull edge than on the cutting edge. If someone tried to cut through a real bottle the way Yukio had, the bottle would simply shatter. However implausible this might be, one explanation could be that when Yukio cut through the bottle, she left a small amount of glass that left the upper and lower halves attached to each other for a few moments before the bottom dropped off. Adamantium is indestructible. However, it can be damaged by other adamantium or from vibranium, the alien metal from which adamantium is synthesized. Remembering Yashida's words that "a katana is meant to be used by two hands", Logan grabs it with both hands, which causes it to glow. He goes after the adamantium samurai and manages to lop off its head, revealing the pilot to be Yashida himself. Yashida explains that he lured Logan to Japan in order to steal his "unwanted healing" and transfer it into his own dying body. By drilling into Logan's exposed claws, Yashida starts to drain Logan's immortality. As Logan grows older and older by the second, Yashida grows younger and younger. Suddenly, Mariko appears, carrying two of Logan's adamantium claws. She calls Yashida a "monster", hurls one of the claws into his skull, and buries the other one in his neck, forcing Yashida to release his grip on Logan. Logan regains strength, grows his bone claws back, and uses them to impale Yashida. He then tosses Yashida, adamantium suit and all, over a cliff where it crashes on the rocks below. In the final scene, which takes place some days later, Logan says goodbye to Mariko, who is now in control of her grandfather's fortune, and he and Yukio board a Yashida airplane. Yukio insists on accompanying Logan as his bodyguard and asks him where he would like to go. No, but during the credits is a teaser for X-Men: Days of Future Past presenting a scenario in which Logan is going through an airport security checkpoint and is startled to see all the metal objects in the x-ray trays begin to jump up and down. Logan spins around to see Magneto (Ian McKellen) standing behind him. "There are dark forces moving in," Magneto warns, "building a weapon that could mean the end for our kind." While everyone in the security line stands frozen, Logan sees a wheelchair carrying Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) weaving through the crowd. "How is this possible?", Logan wonders aloud. "As I told you a long time ago," Xavier replies, "you're not the only one with gifts." Yes. The bone claws, which were underneath the adamantium all along, were able to grow back, while the metal on them was lost after the claws have been cut off by Silver Samurai. Essentially, Wolverine's claws reverted to what they were before the Weapon X treatment, although he has his adamantium claws in Days of Future Past. The leading theory is that Magneto re-grafted them. Director James Mangold announced a harder cut for Blu-ray disc release quite early and actually was able to create an Extended Cut. And this longer version really is quite a lot more brutal and bloody than the original one, which already was quite explicit for its PG-13 rating. Digital blood was used quite often to make scenes harder, other scenes feature more action, blood and gore in general. The result should be on pretty much the way the fans want to see Wolverine on the big screen. The additional action and violence are not the only alteration, of course. Wolverine's vocabulary is more explicit and there are more dialogs and plot scenes as well. In some scenes of the Extended Cut, the music had to be removed due to continuity reasons. In total the Extended Cut runs more than 12 minutes longer than the theatrical version. No. Unfortunately Stan Lee was unable to make the trip to Australia where most of the film was shot.
