Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHugh Jackman said that for his shirtless scenes in this movie, he wanted to look "as ripped and cut as possible." So he adopted a dehydration diet (used in bodybuilding) where he did not consume any liquid for thirty-six hours before filming his shirtless shots. He said it made him feel "headachy" and faint, but he was pleased with the results, as dehydrating tightened everything up, and gave him the exaggerated muscle definition and vascularity that he wanted to show in his shirtless scenes.
- Goofs(at around 1h 24 mins) When Logan is pulling the X-ray machine up his body, an X-ray of his legs is shown. In this X-ray, he has no knee caps.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: as Wolverine enters an airport security check, he comes face to face with Magneto and Professor X, who request his assistance for a new threat to mutants. This leads into X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).
- Alternate versionsThe Blu-ray release includes an extended version which contains the following changes in addition to more graphic violence:
- While Yukio sleeps during the jet flight, there's an additional flashback of Logan with Yashida in the bunker calling the former kuzuri and asking how old is he.
- In the limo on the way to see Yashida, Yukio describes a little more about Yashida with Logan's cynical remark: "Wow, did they give you a little card to memorize?"
- Before the servants bathe Logan, he remarks that the other shoes are smaller than his.
- There's an additional exchange between Yashida and Logan as Yukio was to give Logan his surgical mask.
- The servant informs Shingen that Yashida wants to seem him. He gets up and dresses up before Mariko comes in demanding to see him. Shingen brushes her aside and in the next new sequence, there's a father and son exchange where they talk about assuming control of the company, confirming who is the successor and Shingen complaining about bringing in the stranger. Logan watches them from his room.
- An additional set-piece taking place in the hotel where Logan and Mariko hide. Logan sees two men on the street and decides to confront them. Before a thug fires at him, he has a hallucination of Jean but gets pushed off from the balcony. The other thug fires the taser at him and we see the both thugs having fun at him. As the gunman is about to shoot Logan one more time, the other thug crashes onto the car, with a knife on the back. Mariko throws another knife at the other thug, before Logan uses the taser at him.
- In the countryside retreat, Mariko gives Logan a dry set of clothes before heading to the bedroom.
- When Yukio and Logan return back to Yashida family house to find Shingen, they found three corpses on the floor
- There's an exchange between Viper and Harada, on Mariko's safety. She instructs him to dip the arrows in the poison that she has prepared to slow Logan down.
- The second additional set-piece in the film with Logan battling ninjas on bikes. Yukio comes into assisting him with the snow blower. He blows the vehicle up before running into the tower. Meanwhile, Harada is also seen following Viper's instruction, dipping his arrows with her poison.
- There's a scene also explaining why Yukio saves Logan again during the fight with Viper: she regains her consciousness and follows the trail to the tower.

Featured review
I went into this movie with high expectations, and hoping to see the Wolverine unleash his fury on his enemies,and I was not disappointed. The action in this movie is unbelievable. Without giving too much away, I would say that the fighting in this movie was extremely well choreographed, and had some amazing weapon fights in it.
Another thing that I have loved about this movie from the very beginning is that it is set in mostly modern Japan. To me Japan really is a beautiful country, that is rarely seen in comic book films, and made for very interesting fight scenes and theme to the story arc overall.
The story was also well done in part as I mentioned before to the unique setting, as well as some of the characters like the mutant Reptile.It also plays around with the very core of Wolverine's mutant powers, and takes it in a very interesting direction that keeps fans on the edge of their seat throughout the movie.
My only very minor disappointment was in a part of the ending which was slightly predictable. Besides that however this was easily one of the best movies to come out this year, and it is a must see for Wolverine, and X-Men fans alike.
