Director : James Mangold
Running Time :127 mins
On a trip to Japan, Wolverine (Jackman) visits an old dying friend who has asked to see him, but when Wolverine realises that the man wants to take away his healing factor - basically leaving him mortal for the first time in his life - he refuses, not wanting to inflict what he sees as a curse on anyone else. But his powers are somehow taken away by a woman known as Viper (Khodchenkova), and Wolverine is forced into protecting Mariko (Okamoto), the grand-daughter of his old friend without any real powers other than his claws.
In spite of a pretty long runtime, this film moves along at such a fast pace that you don’t even notice the time passing. There is plenty of action, and we get to see a new side of ole Wolvie that gives him a bit more depth in the movie world. Yukio wasn’t as fun as she is in the comics, and Mariko actually had a bit more personality than in the comics where she is pretty one-dimensional, so overall they evened each other out, making this a nice addition to the X-Men canon.
