My husband and I are HUGE movie watchers and have a massive collection of over 4,000 DVDs here in our home. A lot of the time I get children’s DVDs to review so when an adult DVD opportunity comes my way…well, I jump all over it!
The Wolverine Extended Edition Blu-Ray was just released for purchase last week. Hubby and I wanted to see this in the movie theater but at the time it was out…I was recovering from my hip surgery. Hence, we have been patiently waiting for its release.
Synopsis: Hugh Jackman returns as The Wolverine and faces his ultimate nemesis in an action-packed life-or-death battle that takes him to modern-day Japan. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his limits, Logan confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality; an epic fight that will leave him forever changed.
My Thoughts: We received the 2-Disc set for our review and couldn’t wait to sit down to watch it…matter of fact…we were planted in front of the TV about 2 hours after this DVD showed up on our door step. This movie is rated PG-13 so older children can watch it with their parents.
The movie stars Hugh Jackman, Fanke Janssen, Will Yun Lee and others, although I consider Hugh the main star & draw to this movie. The total run time is 126 minutes, so make sure you allow yourself enough time to watch it all of the way through the first time.
Hubby and I sat down with a big bowl of popcorn and watched the movie from start to finish. I was in all of my glory seeing Hugh Jackman as The Wolverine again as he makes my heart go pitter-patter.
The story line, characters and the action & drama was absolutely fantastic in this movie! There were no ho-hum boring parts at all and it kept both of us glued to the TV the entire time. The fight scenes (action scenes) were intense and beautifully shot by the film makers. I love action movies and this movie has plenty of that!
I don’t like spoilers so I won’t tell you how this movie ended but I will tell you that its a MUST SEE if you love Super Hero and/or Action movies! We are giving it 8 1/2 stars out of 10 stars on our movie rating scale!

I love most of the Super Hero movies and I have not yet seen this one. After your review I shall make a point to watch it.. I am a Hugh Jackman fan too.
I’m glad you got a movie you wanted to see and that you liked it a lot. Not my cup of tea. I want Mary Poppins!
