After pretty much everybody hated X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Fox was stuck with an X-Men character that everyone loved, and a need to make something that was quite a bit better than Origins. That’s how The Wolverine was born. The James Mangold directed movie came out two years after X-Men: First Class and brought fans to a place we’d never seen Logan before… Japan. Despite having some cool sequences, the movie raises a lot of questions. Like what was the point of Yashida faking his death? Why introduce Wolverine’s reduced powers if it’s barely going to affect the plot? How did they get Poison Ivy in this movie?
