Critics Consensus

Although its final act succumbs to the usual cartoonish antics, The Wolverine is one superhero movie that manages to stay true to the comics while keeping casual viewers entertained.

The Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk A multimillion dollar pile of tedium. Sep 5, 2017 Full Review The Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Michael Jones Shadow and Act Most of all, I love being able to say finally that Hugh Jackman killed as The Wolverine. Rated: 4/5 Aug 15, 2017 Full Review The Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Matthew Lickona San Diego Reader Japan seems valued more for its scenery and costumes than anything having to do with its character. Rated: 1/5 Jul 14, 2015 Full Review The Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh An improvement from the first solo Wolverine movie, but still only serves as a throttled version of what is capable with the character. Rated: 3/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review The Wolverine | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... James Mangold... stages some impressive scenes but can’t overcome a busy script from Mark Bomback and Scott Frank.

Nick R It's a bit boring at times, but mostly good and Hugh delivers a solid performance. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Spencer S There isn't a world where I watch a movie where Wolverine fights ninjas and a samurai and on top of a bullet train and fights a giant adamantium robot named Silver Samurai who wields heated-adamantium swords and not give it 4 stars. This movie is wacky as fuck yet gritty and grounded at the same time, somehow mixing the two in perfect amounts. THE WOLVERINE is great fun. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Wolverine Imortal @wolverine #wolverine Elenco: @thehughjackman @taookamoto @rila_fukushima @hiroyukisandapr @svetlana_khodchenkova @willyunlee @brian_tee Modelo: #superherois #ação #heroisDuração: 2h 06mAno: 2013Minha opinião: De todos os X-Mens, somente Wolverine tem filme independete ou com X-Men Wolverine Origens, do grupo com seu nome. Temos aqui Wolverine imortal e depois Logan e em 2024 DeadPool e Wolverine. Wolverine + Hungh Jackman = Sucesso. Este é um filme independente do Wolverine que se passa no Japão. Nos HQs vemos sempre uma relação do Wolverine com o Japão. Pois Suas garras e a espada do samurai, tras esta sinergia. Filme começa com Wolverine na 2ª Guerra Mundial que salva Yashida da explosão atômica e graça sua o seu fator de cura se salva. O tempo passa e Yashida agora o dono de uma empresa de gigante porte no Japão, mas que esta no fim de sua vida. Mas ele pede para Logan fazer uma transfusão para passar a ele o fator de cura, mas Logan rejeita. Yashida controriado manda Vibora atacar e uma vez Logan envenenado por ela e tendo que salvar Mariko que é neta de YAshida e que seria usada pelo vô para que ele fosse rejuvenicido. Com tudo isso temos a luta final onde YAshida dentro de uma armadura gigante e lutando com Wolverine. Um filme com um CGI muito bom. Um filme que tras também um certo romande entre Wolverine e Mariko e luta também com a yakuza. Um filme que tem vários ingredientes e não sendo apenas um filme de ação do ínicio ao fim. Eu gostei desta mistura e das atuações dos atores que temos ainda, Sanada, Rila Fukushima, Brian Tae e Will Yun Lee. Roteiro e enredo bons que nos envolveram dentro da trama.Vale apena assistir? Sim com certeza.Nota: 8,5 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Brock P With the forgettable characters to the confusing storyline The Wolverine wasn't the redeeming sequel from the previous installment but wasn't all bad with the action and visual effects. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Thomas K La trama non mi ha convinto tanto, perché prende dettagli con casualità ma va bene. Le sequenze in Giappone mi hanno fatto un po’ annoiare con il tono mediocre, ma la sequenza nel treno la trovo incredibile. Il colpo di scena finale non mi ha convinto tanto perché punta anche a non espandere tanto i suoi dettagli e colpi di scena e nessuno di questi personaggi e approfondito benissimo. 6.5/10 Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Chris F Cool hero and setting, but maybe a little too serious for a comic book movie. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
