Plot Summary: In modern day Japan, Wolverine is out of his depth in an unknown world as he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before. Written by Twentieth Century Fox

My Review: 

The beginning of the film confused me at first for I don’t know the time when the story happened. But as the story goes, it became clearer and clearer for me. 

The middle part of the story is not as exciting as I would want it to be, though it still manages to hold my attention. Whenever I’m starting to get bored, something will happen that will make me interested again. 

The last 20 mins (I think) of the film is the best part for it was filled with action. Something happened during the last few minutes that should be the biggest revelation in the movie, but I was expecting it so it didn't impress me. And I was a bit disappointed on the last scene. I don’t know. I think I was expecting to see more than what it showed me. 

Oh, and I was kinda hoping to see more mutants so their absence made me feel more disappointed in the film than I should be.

But, overall, I like the film. Despite all the things I just said, I enjoyed it, especially the visual effects — which are very realistic — and the stunts (and of course, the sight of Hugh Jackman shirtless most of the time).

Three stars. :D
