The balance between Logan's haunted past and the Yashida family affairs was perfect. James Mangold had a really easy job, just make it better than the abysmal X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We follow Logan to Japan where he is invited to say farewell to an old friend he once saved, however he is now embroiled in a family where power, money and immortality are at stake. Don't get me wrong, Logan is great but this is far more enjoyable and less soul draining. The Wolverine is easily my favourite solo Wolverine film. Rating: PG-13 (Language|Intense Sci-Fi Action|Some Sexuality|Violence) As he struggles to rediscover the hero within himself, he must grapple with powerful foes and the ghosts of his own haunted past. Wolverine is pushed to his physical and emotional brink when he is forced to go on the run with a powerful industrialist's daughter (Tao Okamoto) and is confronted - for the first time - with the prospect of death. Lured to a Japan he hasn't seen since World War II, century-old mutant Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) finds himself in a shadowy realm of yakuza and samurai.
