From Netflix:
Wolverine travels to modern-day Japan in this kaleidoscopic epic based on the Marvel Comics character. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his limits, Logan confronts lethal samurai steel and his inner struggle against his own immortality.
Some digital effect films are really stupid (e.g. “R.I.P.D.”) but sometimes the effects fit so well into the story in an unexaggerated way that they are fun to watch.
Hugh Jackman does just what he supposed to do: be muscular, be really angry most of the time, and get into a lot of steel-claw-ripping fights. Why else would you watch this film?
If you can get past the lovely woman with the serpent’s tongue, then there is enough sensible plot to get you through at least two bags of popcorn. It also helps if you are a fan of ninja warriors.
Some few details are not really explained: Hugh seems to lose and then regain his steel claws several times.
There is even somewhat of a surprise twist in the last fight sequence. At least I did not see it coming.
Why do these action films include our hero falling in love? Somehow, it just does not work.
Well-done digital kid stuff! Enjoy the popcorn.
