Let's give me applause for my first movie in 3D being a good choice! I am actually a fan of the X-Men movies since I saw the first one. X-Men: First Class revived my hope that this series still had potential. While I do wish they would give another character highlight for a moment, they do the safe and smart thing by sticking with the most popular of the crew, Wolverine. James Mangold has directed some pretty solid movies like Walk the Line and 3:10 to Yuma. He doesn't have anything like, The Wolverine on his credentials, but he revives the character well.
Summary: The Wolverine is living in seclusion, but is called to come out of it when he is asked to come to Japan by an old acquaintance who is dying. There is a new nemesis lurking there though who wants to challenge his power, the Viper. The Wolverine is left more vulnerable than ever after his powers are disrupted by her force. With the help of new allies in Japan though he sets out to battle her, and help a woman trapped in the crossfires of the battle.
