How the fuck did no one like this movie? It's pretty accurate to the Patch comics and it's just brutal Wolverine action. It seems like people are confusing this movie with the Wolverine Origins movie
Bryan Colbert Well I think the ending was quite poor and the viper villain kinda ruins the tone of the movie throughout but I agree. This does not deserve to have the same rating at origins. It's much much better.
Honestly the battle between Logan and Shingen should have been the climax. Best fight scene in the movie and one of the best I've seen in a comic book movie.
Justin Joshua Sabillo Ya that was close enough to the climax though. The Wolverine was a proper Wolverine solo movie though. That fight was great though
I give Hugh Jackman props, and I think the was the best film in which he played Wolverine, and James Mangold had several great films that I loved (Copland, Walk the Line, Identity) but that being said, this film was GOOD, but not GREAT. I still think the first 2 X-men films are the best. If you really want to see Hugh Jackman rock his shit, see "Prisoners".
My flaws for The Wolverine are nitpicks. My 5 reasons why I liked it so much: 1. I wanted a close but not exact adaptation of the comic issue when Logan was in Japan. I love the old and pop Japanese culture. It exceeded my expectations. 2. Logan was mostly invulnerable in all of movies. This movie tested how far and deep can he go when his main mutant power was taken away. 3. Mariko was strong on her own right. And she got exposed at the same time. Yuriko looks like she was an anime character far from the comics, but played her part with Logan so well. 4. The twist near a the end gasped me. I did not see that coming. 5. The post-credit scene blew my mind. I got me clapping and excited to see the movie adaptation of DOFP.
I agree with everything except number 4. That twist was both very obvious and was a clear attempt to get a more menacing villain in the movie to accompany the already shitty Viper.
Sorry man, but that hair at the beginning. You looked less than Wolverine and more like Ace Ventura when he runs around in a skirt. XD But that improves the scene actually. So good for you :)
I like it but it doesnt make sense. Like how does wolverine remember that dude if his memory was erased when he got the claws. And silver samurai got wolverines healing power, so how do they kill him with the claws?
I don't get why the guy Wolverine saves in the beginning turns on him in the end. He is genuinely grateful, offering his sword. So why go nuts at the end?
Old review, i know, but I agree with Ralinor666. (except that last point....) The directing was great, awesome, and the director's work is worth following. Love interest should stay away from Comic action movies. The story/plot/reason we came to the movies was clumsily, see through and full of holes. The actors did what they could, and a damn good job of it. But geeez... honor these great stars with at least a good script. My goodness... Hire some real writers to make it solid.... the actors will do their jobs beautifully, just damn.... give them something to work with.
I'm surprised to hear how much you liked this movie. I think it had a great set up in the beginning with Japan in WW2, but I think the plot fell apart as the movie progressed. I did not think the female viper villain belonged and the twist with his friend being the silver samurai made me feel like my intelligence was being insulted. I will give this another chance thanks to your review. Jackman was amazing as always (He's so good I don't think anyone else can play Wolverine right now). The Wolverine movies have failed to capture the guilt, shame, remorse, and regret that Wolverine carries around with him. I really wish someone like Scorsese could direct Wolverine so we can get a more intimate character study. He's that type of character, in my opinion, more so than Spiderman, Batman, and many other superheroes. He's also a very romantic character, which I think they scratched the surface with, but have not gone all the way.
I honestly do not understand why people hate this movie. I mean, there are some movies I like that other people hate - such as Lethal Weapon 3 (Don't worry, I hate Lethal Weapon 4.) and Ghostbusters II - where I understand why people hate them, but this one is one where I don't see why. It was awesome.
I agree with Sam about the stuntwork because the action scenes were great, although I heard that Jackman got injured doing a stunt that really worried his wife, so I guess some stunts are better left to the professionals
I agree with this explanation. Since we didn't have Harada generating his mutant tachyon field around the Black Blade, a super-heated adamantium sword cutting through other adamantium makes sense.
i watched the fight scene between the wolverine and Shingen very closely and shingen didn't slice through wolverine's spine but he sliced only the right side of his waist.
I thought it was a dramatic improvement from the shitty Xmen origins wolverine film. I thought it was decent in its own right, the character is fleshed out more, the action is top notch, and the story wasnt bad. I liked the setting a lot, its a nice change of pace. Only thing that really annoyed me was the completely inaccurate portrayal of the silver samurai, like the film became a stupid trasnformer movie at the end. Silver Samurai is a fucking mutant, not a stupid robot armor suit
IT was better than all the X-men movie in my opinion.how they stayed true to the japanese culture for one, which the japanese critics appreciated it very much too. The fact that when japanese people talked to eachother they spoke japanese and the score has so many japanese western aspects about it too. Another was the tone and feel of the badass type of scenes. Theyre set up and toned with like a western gunslinger type feel. And the fact that he had a type of clint eastwood badassness about him
Great to know that Japanese critics appreciated this great film for the reasons you said. I definitely thought Clint’s Dollars gunslinger was being channeled, aptly enough given that role’s debt to Kurosawa.
A lot of those Japanese scenes were actually filmed here in Australia. They had put in the major newspaper that they were filming it in Sydney at the time and that people could come down and watch, I almost made the drive down to check it out (Sydney is about 2 hours away from me) Really wish I had.
i like to think the silver samurai sword is altimanium found thison wikipedia In the 2013 film The Wolverine, the Silver Samurai's armor is built out of adamantium. The film depicts more decisive example of adamantium being damaged is shown as the two katanas wielded by the Samurai, also constructed of adamantium, are able to slice through Wolverine's claws
I really liked this film. I can see why people who are fans of previous X-men movies or comic book movies in general might not like this one, though. It's not just because this is a darker movie (Batman movies have taken that crown, and the Marvel movies verse may go there soon), but because this played more like a drama movie for me. Almost like a mystery movie. I really enjoyed it, but the tone is really different from the others. I agree that Jackman is Wolverine now for me. Can't imagine another guy playing him. The last few minutes with the reveal really annoyed me, though. If I remember right (it's been a while since I saw the movie), it felt like it pulled the bottom out from that character's arc, and instead of going for a gray character, they went full black-white, evil-good. I also didn't feel there was good foreshadowing for him and that the twist came out of nowhere, like they went "Who would be the person least likely in-universe to be the bad guy? This guy!" even though it's the most obvious choice they could choose for a big reveal. It's fun seeing Stuckmann's old reviews. Thanks for the video, though it's been 2 years, haha.
He seemed like an Iron Man villain because he was wearing a giant suit like Iron Monger did in Iron Man (2008). He just stands around and uses the suit...kind of like Iron Monger...but he was a bad villain while Iron Monger was at least decent. I agree with you about Wolverine...they really understood how to handle his character this time around.
At 3:24 to answer that. The sword did not cut completely through him only through him but through a corner of him. I believer it was only the left side of his hip but not the spine.
whenever there is any Japanese action drama kind of stuff involved in any movie, Hiroyuki Sanada is the guy i always look forward to. i haven't watched much of his work but he always seems to be perfect for the roles !
I didn't expect anything great going in and coming out, I wanted to like it more. I actually think if someone like Nicolas Winding Refn was involved in making the movie, it would've been better. The comic it was based on came out in the 80's and maybe setting it in that time would've been best. Although Hugh did such a good job and the dialogue fit Wolverine so well in this one.
that is true. However, you have to consider the imagery that cutting off his claws provided. Also, it will be a unique hurdle for him to overcome later on. i think they did it to ground Wolverine a bit more. Otherwise you'd have a unstoppable, unkillable guy whom, can just tear through armies of enemies without thought.
The way I figure it was that his sword was Adamantium and was super charged because of the samurais ability thus giving his sword the ability to cut through it.
Well, I'm considerating to put this movie somewhere in my personal Top 11 favorites of the year, but there are other titles I have yet to watch, "Kick-Ass 2", "The World's End", "The Hobbit Episode II-Desolation of the Smaug", "Rush", "The Zero Theorem" so... We'll see about that.
I think it's because either A, X-men Origins: Wolverine is either not apart of the X-men movie franchise anymore, or B, it is apart of the franchise, but the creators of the X-men films are keeping the tradition of creating paradoxes in the X-men movie storyline.
I liked how Wolverine loses the claws. Not of how it happens but the effect it will play. I remember in some of the old comics that in a on one finale of a x men series is that Magneto ripss out the Adaemantum out of Logan. It'll make Logan more vunerable to new challenges
Good point with the characters actually speak their native language. That was one (of several) weakness in the Captain America movie: German characters speaking english with german accents in private rooms with other germans. I mean that takes away from the mood and drama.
The strike doesn't go thorough the spine merely cuts the lower half of the torso and the movement through is actually along the belly to clear the sword from the abdominal cavity, so no it didn't go through the spine. I know because my hobby is Kendo. Don't get my started on the flips during Shingen's sparring match...
watch it again he never actually puts it back into that position. and seconds before she put it down the second time there were no chop sticks in the up right position. It was obviously a clip hat was either supposed to be placed at the beginning of that scene or at the end and they forgot to cut it out. That was an editing error.
When are you two getting married? That was an adorable ending, btw. Anyway, just saw Wolverine tonight. Loved it. Especially the train scene and the love hotel. Couldn't put my finger on what was missing with the central romance. But, I think you're right Chris. They just weren't in love, and weren't supposed to be.
Nadz2784 I think nobody besides Hugh jackman can be wolverine, maybe Jason Mamoa but he's already in Justice League and not white. Sometimes I don't care if superheros are white but Hugh Jackman is too iconic as wolverine and a white guy to have any other color. But still, I can't really see ANYONE being wolverine anymore
I often get really frustrated when PG-13 action movies are so much more tame than they need to be, they think they can’t show blood, gruesome violence or anything like that but movies like this show that yes you can, just because a movie has blood in it doesn’t automatically mean it has to be rated R
Actually the robot didn't suppress his healing completely. In a few shots if you look, they show that he is healing a little but not healing completely. Also none of the normal swords when through his adamantium they just cut his skin.
It was not a good movie. Plus I hate how he lost his metal claws. And The Silver Samuri was supppose to be a mutant already. Also why did they have to cut his claws to get his to his mutant dna. Couldnt they have just gone in anywhere on his body?
Well his claws seemed to heal almost instantly in that they regrew in less than a minute once sheathed which I think would have happened anyhow, but they forgot to pay for the Korean animators to CGI it so healed when not visible.
Actually the inclusion of bone marrow was one of the things I found closest to the source in an obscure way. While few comics attempt to show exactly how his healing factor function there have been instances where Logan's bone marrow has been harvested to reproduce his healing factor. Just recovering DNA wouldn't necessarily let you recreate his regeneration abilities unless you were a super genius who could find a way to duplicate it without actual material.
Chris I was wondering if you could break out your review grades... Like a grade for: director, acting, sound track, etc. and then add those up for a final grade... Just like GameTrailers used to do for video games. Nice Wolverine Review
When wolverine saves yoshida at the start of the movie he had bone claws so that means that event happened before x men origins wolverine so if wolverine lost his memory after that then how was he able to remember that he saved a guy and when he was with mariko how does he remember the well?
I think this was the apology for how bad origins was. As such, I think they are just acting like origins never happened, which is probably for the better.
I really liked this film because it wasn't as cynical and needlessly grimdark as most movies today.(yes, Man of Steel, I'm looking at you.) Yes it was serious an brutal but it had a lot of humanity to it, with concepts like honor, love, loyalty and dealing with one's mortality (or immortality). It was fun and a good Wolverine story.
One compaint i have (its very minor) is that when he wasnt healing right and he used his claws there wasnt any type of scarring or anything like that they looke
Nice movie and one the the best comic book heroes movies. Though some scenes at the end (the cutting of claws and the drilling of knuckles) are really awkward and gratuitous. Plus, the only thing that prevents his adamantium skeleton to kill Wolverine is his mutant healing power. The moment he looses it, his body should have collapsed on itself and Wolvie should have been in intense pain and couldn't have been able to move. Or fight. Big screenplay flaw there!
Anyone notice how this Wolverine Trilogy got better with each one? Origins was crap, this was pretty good and Logan was fantastic.
Same can be said with the captain america trilogy.
Third Captain America was my least favorite
@@ColonelCarnage Civil War might be my favourite MCU film, second only to Black Panther.
@@wolverine1800 First Avenger wasn't crap
Redsiren No civil war is caps story. Don’t you forget it either
I thought it was Hugh Jackman's best portrayal of Wolverine since the first X-Men. Really solid movie. B+
Since X2.
How the fuck did no one like this movie? It's pretty accurate to the Patch comics and it's just brutal Wolverine action. It seems like people are confusing this movie with the Wolverine Origins movie
Bryan Colbert Well I think the ending was quite poor and the viper villain kinda ruins the tone of the movie throughout but I agree. This does not deserve to have the same rating at origins. It's much much better.
LOL I love you and your wife. Too fucking cute.
haha Stuckmmanrine:D
Honestly the battle between Logan and Shingen should have been the climax. Best fight scene in the movie and one of the best I've seen in a comic book movie.
+Justin Joshua Sabillo Who was Shingen?
Jacob Duran Mariko's father
Justin Joshua Sabillo Oh so that was who Wolverine killed in the scene where he regained his healing abilities?
Jacob Duran Yep
Justin Joshua Sabillo Ya that was close enough to the climax though. The Wolverine was a proper Wolverine solo movie though. That fight was great though
I give Hugh Jackman props, and I think the was the best film in which he played Wolverine, and James Mangold had several great films that I loved (Copland, Walk the Line, Identity) but that being said, this film was GOOD, but not GREAT. I still think the first 2 X-men films are the best. If you really want to see Hugh Jackman rock his shit, see "Prisoners".
Jiggley Krowzer The Prestige is great too although I think Christian Bale is the highlight of that movie.

Lol!!
Bwahahahaha
Reviews movies for a living, beautiful nerdy wife.....Chris Stuckmann you are my hero !!!
+Coca Loca He is mine to!!!! :)
He is admirable and enviable.
you and your wife should do more videos together. . so cute
that sounded wrong.
I like it but it doesnt make sense. Like how does wolverine remember that dude if his memory was erased when he got the claws. And silver samurai got wolverines healing power, so how do they kill him with the claws?
Good questions.
as Lasse1583 said :"he didnt slice through his spine, he sliced the left side of his body"
I just realized that, actually. Thank you!!
Would be cool for this to become a regular thing. It's kind of nice to watch you two bounce your opinions of each other.
Best X-men movie after Days of Future past.
Great flick.
So underrated it's insane.
Wait so all this went down in Japan
WHERE WAS GOKU ???????????????
Fighting Vegeta in the mountains.
Mohammad Qadeer Cool :-P
fighting Spike ... if you've seen Buffy and the godawful Dragonball Evolution then you know what i mean
I don't get why the guy Wolverine saves in the beginning turns on him in the end.
He is genuinely grateful, offering his sword. So why go nuts at the end?
2:50 "jyes very sexy very toight like a toiger"
You guys are such a cute couple;)
I am glad you guys got married. Because you are truly made for each other and I really liked all the points that Sam brought up.
I see why you proposed to her! A woman like that with similar interests? I´m sold! You´re a lucky guy!
I liked the movie, didn't love it, but I liked it.
Nice Wolverine cosplay

Jennifer Adams Franklin Amen!!!
I loved this movie. Better that origins.
True.
Dat intro tho XD
you should make a Review on the Extended version tooo!
that will be soo sweet !!!!
the red hair girl was actually a fashion model in japan.can yu believe it
Did anybody get a clint Eastwood vibe at the beginning
TexasHockey or taxi driver
Looking great as Wolverine
I liked it ! I also liked the fact they filmed in parts of Japan that weren't tourist traps. It fired my interest in Japanese culture.
Haha! The end of his review... She steals his words with her flirty fingers. Lol. He goes stupid for a sec. Pretty cute
Kelly Pagano do you think when he wants sexytimes he says to her “hey babe, are you ready to get... Stuckmannized??”
I'm surprised to hear how much you liked this movie. I think it had a great set up in the beginning with Japan in WW2, but I think the plot fell apart as the movie progressed. I did not think the female viper villain belonged and the twist with his friend being the silver samurai made me feel like my intelligence was being insulted. I will give this another chance thanks to your review. Jackman was amazing as always (He's so good I don't think anyone else can play Wolverine right now).

He's also a very romantic character, which I think they scratched the surface with, but have not gone all the way.
You guys are awesome! Loving the collaboration reviews with you two.
Every time I watch this movie I get chills during the scene when he is getting the spider bot out of him
I loved The Wolverine. It was a great movie. Way better than Origins.
True that but Logan was better.
Lets be honest here we have all done What chris did in the skit at the begining of the vid
I like the fact that your Logan impression reminds me more of an Clint Eastwood impression. You're awesome Chris.
I honestly do not understand why people hate this movie. I mean, there are some movies I like that other people hate - such as Lethal Weapon 3 (Don't worry, I hate Lethal Weapon 4.) and Ghostbusters II - where I understand why people hate them, but this one is one where I don't see why. It was awesome.
Agreed
OMG Chris your face was priceless at the end lol
I busted out laughing as soon as this video started!!!
I think he's slowly starting to remember things.
In X2, he had some flashbacks of when he got his adamantium.
You guys are sooo nice. I love watching your joint reviews. It's just warm fuzzies!!!
I was very bright to watch this movie and the last few in theaters not knowing that he’d retire the role.. I’m blessed for that.
I agree with Sam about the stuntwork because the action scenes were great, although I heard that Jackman got injured doing a stunt that really worried his wife, so I guess some stunts are better left to the professionals
You should do more of these intros They are pretty good.
I agree with this explanation. Since we didn't have Harada generating his mutant tachyon field around the Black Blade, a super-heated adamantium sword cutting through other adamantium makes sense.
It'd be awesome if Magneto helps Wolverine reform his adamantium claws in Days of Future Past. It'd be a bonding experience....
2023 and these spoilers for the Wolverine was so cool
i watched the fight scene between the wolverine and Shingen very closely and shingen didn't slice through wolverine's spine but he sliced only the right side of his waist.

They did to Silver Samurai what Marvel did to Iron Man 3's Mandarin, feel me ?
Tamar Suggs yeah

whenever there is any Japanese action drama kind of stuff involved in any movie, Hiroyuki Sanada is the guy i always look forward to. i haven't watched much of his work but he always seems to be perfect for the roles !
Actually, ive put a lot of thought behind it. He did not have a solid adamantium spine, he cut through a spinal vertabrae that healed.
Dude, your wife's voice is awesome!
I didn't expect anything great going in and coming out, I wanted to like it more. I actually think if someone like Nicolas Winding Refn was involved in making the movie, it would've been better.

OMG could you two be any more adorable together?!?!
The Silver Samurai sword is adamantium, but not the previous sword that cuts through Wolverine's torso.
OMG! Sam look is priceless Chris!! lol great intro
Well, I'm considerating to put this movie somewhere in my personal Top 11 favorites of the year, but there are other titles I have yet to watch, "Kick-Ass 2", "The World's End", "The Hobbit Episode II-Desolation of the Smaug", "Rush", "The Zero Theorem" so... We'll see about that.

nice Clint Eastwood impression at the beginning
The intro waS hilarious! LoL!
Coming back to this video in 2018 after Logan is pretty interesting
You and Sam should do a spoiler-filled review of The Smurfs 2 and rant about it.
This movie was fantastic.
watch it again he never actually puts it back into that position. and seconds before she put it down the second time there were no chop sticks in the up right position. It was obviously a clip hat was either supposed to be placed at the beginning of that scene or at the end and they forgot to cut it out. That was an editing error.
When are you two getting married? That was an adorable ending, btw. Anyway, just saw Wolverine tonight. Loved it. Especially the train scene and the love hotel. Couldn't put my finger on what was missing with the central romance. But, I think you're right Chris. They just weren't in love, and weren't supposed to be.
I think Tom Hardy would be a good wolverine.
Nadz2784 I think nobody besides Hugh jackman can be wolverine, maybe Jason Mamoa but he's already in Justice League and not white. Sometimes I don't care if superheros are white but Hugh Jackman is too iconic as wolverine and a white guy to have any other color. But still, I can't really see ANYONE being wolverine anymore
Logan taking out the spider was intense. Reminded me of Prometheus, I dug it! Great review, you guys are great!
I often get really frustrated when PG-13 action movies are so much more tame than they need to be, they think they can’t show blood, gruesome violence or anything like that but movies like this show that yes you can, just because a movie has blood in it doesn’t automatically mean it has to be rated R
Actually the robot didn't suppress his healing completely. In a few shots if you look, they show that he is healing a little but not healing completely. Also none of the normal swords when through his adamantium they just cut his skin.
My gripe with this film is that in the trailers they built up that he was going to fight the ninjas and that never really happened
Nice review, love it. Sam should have worn a kimono for this instead of a cheongsam. Not saying it was bad looking, just to match the movie review.
It was not a good movie. Plus I hate how he lost his metal claws. And The Silver Samuri was supppose to be a mutant already. Also why did they have to cut his claws to get his to his mutant dna. Couldnt they have just gone in anywhere on his body?
They couldn't have because his body would've instantly healed.
Well his claws seemed to heal almost instantly in that they regrew in less than a minute once sheathed which I think would have happened anyhow, but they forgot to pay for the Korean animators to CGI it so healed when not visible.
Actually the inclusion of bone marrow was one of the things I found closest to the source in an obscure way.

Just recovering DNA wouldn't necessarily let you recreate his regeneration abilities unless you were a super genius who could find a way to duplicate it without actual material.
They made Silver Samurai a robot. lols!
Dao Yang I thought it was a robot, but was glad there was a man inside. Not exactly the same from comics but it did well in the movie.
Stuckmann has been doing great reviews lately. =)
Chris I was wondering if you could break out your review grades... Like a grade for: director, acting, sound track, etc. and then add those up for a final grade... Just like GameTrailers used to do for video games. Nice Wolverine Review
that opening was funny
When wolverine saves yoshida at the start of the movie he had bone claws so that means that event happened before x men origins wolverine so if wolverine lost his memory after that then how was he able to remember that he saved a guy and when he was with mariko how does he remember the well?
I think this was the apology for how bad origins was. As such, I think they are just acting like origins never happened, which is probably for the better.
Chace White in that case i totally go with cuz i rather go with it than having to think about origins again lol
I really liked this film because it wasn't as cynical and needlessly grimdark as most movies today.(yes, Man of Steel, I'm looking at you.) Yes it was serious an brutal but it had a lot of humanity to it, with concepts like honor, love, loyalty and dealing with one's mortality (or immortality). It was fun and a good Wolverine story.
One compaint i have (its very minor) is that when he wasnt healing right and he used his claws there wasnt any type of scarring or anything like that they looke
When did a samurai sword cut through his spine? I don't remember that moment
Chris, how about a "gag reel" video, just with goofs and bloopers from past videos?
Great video chris. Do you know when you're reviewing Elysium? That's my most anticipated movie of the year and I would love to see a review on it!
After the post credits scene, I started clapping. The audience went crazy! I'm so pumped for Days of Future Past!!!!
Yk I've yet to go to a screening like that where most of the people are in sink and reactionary with what's going on
Nice movie and one the the best comic book heroes movies. Though some scenes at the end (the cutting of claws and the drilling of knuckles) are really awkward and gratuitous. Plus, the only thing that prevents his adamantium skeleton to kill Wolverine is his mutant healing power. The moment he looses it, his body should have collapsed on itself and Wolvie should have been in intense pain and couldn't have been able to move. Or fight. Big screenplay flaw there!
Chris, if you got totally jacked with FlickPick at the gym, I could buy you as Jackman's Wolverine successor!
you should watch his Indiana Jones review - esp. the bit with his fanmovie, at the end.
