The Wolverine

This long awaited film is good on many levels, but it's biggest detractor is that its been too long awaited and delayed.  It picks up where 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand left off, which is an inconveniently big shift given the more recent  X Men and Wolverine movies that have gone back to their origins, and can therefore get a bit disorienting.  In this film, Logan reluctantly goes to Japan at the request of a former Japanese soldier he saved in WW2, only to find himself quickly caught up in a treacherous war with ultimately a bit too many shifting alliances and revelations. There's more character exploration of Logan that's good and an intriguing international backdrop with interesting new characters, but the aforementioned problems with an over the top plot, delayed timeline between films, and some overdone cgi sequences, including a finale with too much obvious borrowing from The Transformers movies, diminish The Wolverine considerably to just entertaining.
