One of those things retroactively made to seem it was a line made on purpose, but I recall the producer saying it wasn’t originally written with Logan in mind. It was clearly referring to the scene of him digging into his heart to get the bug out.

The final act would've been so much better if they kept the Silver Samurai true to his comic version; a mutant with the ability to make a tachyon field around his sword so that he can cut through almost anything who also wears a set of samurai armor

[@kratoscallofduty]

It's not a great film, but it's 5 times better than Origins.

It's not that good in my opinion.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

It was okay. The ending didn't actually blow me away, and Viper felt crowbarred in. The Silver Samurai also a bit throw-away. Didn't also go that deep with Yukio. Still entertaining.

[@henryollivant5965]

@Black Ninja touche

[@oxhine]

I really enjoyed "The Wolverine"! It's one of the best X-Men movies and captures the essence of Logan's Japanese drama. The film faithfully recreates the seminal 1983 Chris Claremont-Frank Miller mini-series simply titled "Wolverine" and even integrates elements of the "Fatal Attractions" storyline that sees Wolvie lose his adamantium. Rila Fukushima nearly steals the show as Yukio and Hiroyuki Sanada, Tao Okamoto and Will Yun Lee deliver solid performances bringing Shingen, Mariko and Harada to vivid life! Although Silver Samurai becomes more of a mech suit and contains the wrong occupant, the transformation of Yashida from a compassionate young officer to a selfish, grasping magnate is a compellingly tragic turnabout. I don't know what confused everybody so much as I don't remember the film being difficult to follow. The set pieces are extraordinary like the bombing of Nagasaki, the footrace through Tokyo, the exhilarating train sequence and the epic battle against a pack of ninjas! The extended edition has even more character development of Shingen and Mariko as well as some spectacularly bloody deaths during the ninja battle! Somebody called this a soap opera but the entirety of X-Men comics is one big soap opera! The series has always been about convoluted family ties, star-crossed lovers, complex lineages, family secrets, generational clashes, love triangles, folks with amnesia, father-son dynamics, sibling rivalry, etc. If Matt wants to know more about Japan, Holden, you should expose him to the films of Akira Kurosawa!

[@evan9902]

I still can’t get over Matt liking Origins (my least favorite comic book movie) over Days of Future Past (one of my favorite comic book movies).

[@user-jt1js5mr3f]

It's Matt, this should be expected xD

[@evan9902]

True

[@wholockedholmes5600]

The fun of a bad goofy movie to a casual fan over the appreciation that a comic fan would have for DOFP I guess.

[@evan9902]

I guess. Or Matt just has a bad taste in superhero movies.

[@goodial]

I didn't like either of them tbh. Origins is just bad mostly. DoFP started good and has a lot of good stuff, but it has that "there's a good villain, sikes it's Magneto again" twist that got really boring to me ...

[@ChrisM-me4un]

Holden another winner!!!... finding myself the more I watch these enjoying the dichotomy (Matt please try to pronounce this) between the opinions of Matt and Jeremy who are both coming at it from completely different backgrounds and I seem to agree with both of them... Jeremy is steeped in movie knowledge and Matt who is able to provide an unbiased perspective taking these movies at face value... even if he is getting a bit jaded with some of the redundant tropes of superhero movies. Keep up the great work, fingers crossed for a group live in the studio with multiple mics.

[@KeithDCanada]

Once again, I completely 100% agree with Jeremy. I watched this movie twice in the first year of its release, and both times I lost interest around the time 'super shredder' shows up. How many years since it's release and this is the first time I've seen the final shot of the movie. They should have ended it with the 'tried to kill your daughter' scene and expanded the content before it. More WW2 prologue, hints at his past prior to that, etc etc. This feels like someone spliced the ending for "Wild Wild West", onto "Titanic"

[@godzilla234ful]

Gotta give props to Matt for making everyone care for all the fit actors. Their is a lot that goes into the fitness

[@MegaHeaf]

I am glad you did this movie because it is one of my favorite X-men movies it is so underrated

Look at Matt, coming in clutch with the observations! I love it :D

[@War624]

I think Jeremy's comment about this movie being 2/3 good is right on the money

[@jonmurray7791]

Something I thought was a nice little detail I noticed the last time I watched this was when Silver Samurai and Wolverine had the final battle and Samurai cuts through Wolverines claws, you can see the bone claws at the core in the middle of the metal. Just thought that was cool.

[@maximillianosaben]

Darn, I take it you didn't watch the Unrated Extended version. It's the stronger version, mainly for the incredible climax scene where Logan fights the brood of ninjas who capture him with the arrows. It was a brutal fairly long action scene that was taken out of the theatrical version in order to secure a PG-13 rating over an R rating.

Jeremy calling Silver Samurai "Super Shredder" made me think that he should have Matt watch the original 90s Ninja Turtles movie.

[@veidt128]

after you finish the rest of the wolverine movies you should go to TASM duology

[@steve1860]

Kenuichio Harada is the original Silver Samurai.[2] The character first appeared in Daredevil #111 (July 1974), and was created by writer Steve Gerber and artist Bob Brown.[3] A Japanese mutant who uses his powers to charge his katana and wears a samurai-style armor made of a silvery metal, he is the illegitimate son of Lord Shingen, the half-brother of Mariko Yashida, a cousin of Sunfire and Sunpyre, and a nemesis of Wolverine. Not a random dude in a suit

[@steve1860]

I mean they did the silver samurai disservice but fyi all logans japan lore is tied to silver samurai in the comics.

[@serjmalik3509]

And Shingen Harada II was the current Silver Samurai at the time this movie was being made, the illegitimate son of Kenuichio Harada. and when you look at him, he was a random dude with a suit. No honestly the silver samurai wasn't THAT off from current comics at the time. That dude had a robotic samurai suit because he wasn't as skillful as his father nor was he a mutant.... Like his character is REALLY similar to the movie silver samurai.

The wild Matt, in his natural environment, visiting the grounds of friends. But if you surprise him in a break into a safe dark room, he comes running, hissing at you. So we should always be cautious when filming him.

[@susanmaggiora4800]

I agree with Jeremy about ‘Super Shredder.’ I thought the Silver Samurai was a stupid villain in the Wolverine comics & the movie did nothing to improve things. Viper was also lame. That being said, this is probably my favorite Wolverine movie. Logan is a better overall film, but this one is my favorite to watch.

At the begining of the video and seeing Jen..... I try to remember if there is a fish looking character in Wolverine!!!!

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

I actually saw this movie in Japan not knowing that it would take place here in Tokyo, so it was a real treat! Most of the stuff they depict (outside of the comic book sci-fi tech), is mostly accurate to how things appear and operate here (from what I remember). But like most movies that have "Japanese" characters, some of the actors are definitely not Japanese, and speak Japanese a bit strange. Need to rewatch this one. I remember enjoying it for the most part, and I didn't know that it was directed by the same director that made Logan. Anyway, cheers from Japan from another Jeremy! -TTB

This movie is the perfect example of what happens when the studio interferes with a director's vision for a film. The director was against the way the studio wanted the last act to occur, but the studio forced him to use their ideas for the last act.
