@@coreywilson3508 i know he's already seen the first one but he should watch it again now that he's seen the MCU and the x-men movies. He'll understand the references this time
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.
@@criticalmas7770 she speaks English... She just had an accent that made it hard to understand so that's why she was dubbed... And had fewer scenes in the final cut.
@@serjmalik3509 sorry yes she could speak english but she has a very difficult concept of it. So yes she read the words. However one of the problems was the accent yes and the intonation as intonations change depending on cultures and language.
Matt I am so proud of you! As a film buff who notices artistic lighting and camerawork and all that, I just had to jump out of my seat and give you a standing ovation for that mention of the lighting! Whoo! Matt is a film buff!
Great film, often overlooked. Would have been near perfect for me if it wasn't for the third act going all stereotypical comicbooky with the boss fight.
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
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.
ON THE RIGHT TRACK NOW. Logan is going to be one of my favorite episodes of this EVER. It has to be top 3 CBM's of all time and I am guaranteed that Matt will love it
@@JoshieboyStudios i didn't like winter soldier to, it was to slow paced, only the action scenes were done good, but overall to boring and grounded for my taste.
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!
This may seem like a strange suggestion, but I’d love for Matt to see the Kung Fu Panda movies, I feel like he’d love the message and some of the Bygone Jim moments
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 ...
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.
Logan is next and I can't wait for it. Keep note of this line Yukio said though; "I see you on your back, there’s blood everywhere. You’re holding your own heart in your hand."
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"
The heated up chainsaw katana cutting through his claws bit has me like Matt when they screw up a medical scene. Heat weakens the strength of materials, makes the grains looser, and just generally easier to fracture ('but tempering makes metals stronger' - it lets the grains get some energy to shift into more stable positions so when it cools down again it will be stronger than before). Since both the chainsaw katana and the claws are both made out of the same material with similar properties, heating up the cutting tool before hacking with it (even though chainsaws are designed to grind) would just end up in breaking the cutting tool. The train scene also aggravates me but in a more typical action movie ignorable way.
The Wolverine got better after Logan paid off one particular line of dialogue from this movie. I forgot Mangold directed this one before Logan. Now that payoff makes more sense. I like the east & west dichotomy of the latter part of this trilogy. Hadn't thought of that. Matt is literally Mac from Always Sunny.
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.
Shoulda watched the directors cut. Also it's a crime against humanity we never saw, even for a promotional photo or video, Hugh in that Wolverine costume.
I don't care what people say about this movie I love this movie I think it's fantastic and doesn't get enough love or credit as it should. This movie in my opinion it's a 8/10
@@crashingcoyote well we are not doing pussy ass grading systems, where anything bellow 7/10 is terrible. We are doing the thing where 5/10 is naturslly the middle. Thus making 5/10 OK. Anything below is bad. Anything above is good. All to varying degrees. 6/10 is good. 7/10 is great. 8/10 is fantastic. 9/10 is amazing. Then 10/10 should only be used on rare ocation. I have watched hundreds of films in my life and i can confidently say that only 4 of them are an actual 10/10. Same goes with whats below a 5, just negatively of course
I only like the unleashed extended. Blood on the claws and longer action sequences, Mariko isnt much of a damsel in distress and has a scene where she holds her owns.
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.
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
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.
What IS THAT snake like sound as MATT runs 🧐🤨🤷🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 awesome video AS always and the more people the better! Only missing was prime and the fam would have been complete 🥰
This is my favourite one out of the trilogy. Yeh. I consider this the best one. I just wish they'd used the alternative ending. (Sighs) A shame we never got him wearing that suit.
I want you two to watch "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Easily the best cowboy / western movie created, a huge part in pop culture and a cinematography masterpiece. I'm sure ya'll recognize the soundtrack even if you haven't heard of the film before.
This movie definitely should have been watched before DoFP. It's not meant to be watched as a part of a trilogy composed of movies that have nothing to do with each other. Matt's confusion was palpable at parts.
I really hope Matt's thoughts on death in super hero movies doesn't diminish his thoughts on Logan... He's seen it already, so I feel fine mentioning it
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
I enjoy watching The Wolverine far more than Logan. I don't think the story in Logan holds a candle to any of the serious moments in comics. I think many rate Logan higher simply because the novelty it has when compared to other Fox movies setting expectations so low. My biggest criticism of The Wolverine is the wasted potential with act 3. That moment he gets his healing back to full strength is when I would've loved seeing Wolverine just ripping and tearing through hundreds of ninjas before facing off against Silver Samurai! There's no reason Wolverine needed to be captured since he breaks free before the end fight begins anyway. Seeing him vs all those ninjas would've been even more epic had The Wolverine been rated R. In comics, he can leap and run like crazy, and I always wished we could've seen him portrayed as well on film as MCU's Captain American is done post Winter Soldier, but Fox's Wolverine always looked so stiff and too obviously on wires.
