Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 1h 3 mins) Young Yashida gives Wolverine a samurai sword with six Kanji letters engraved on it. These kanji read, "Never Died, Never Aged, Never Destroyed." This is appropriate for Wolverine.
- Goofs(at around 4 mins) Explosions do not enter blind cavities like the well shown. Even a shallow ditch is sufficient protection from a blast wave. Blind tunnels are used in mines to protect workers from explosions.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: as Wolverine enters an airport security check, he comes face to face with Magneto and Professor X, who request his assistance for a new threat to mutants. This leads into X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).
- Alternate versionsAlso available in a 3D version.

Featured review
Best Wolverine to date
Saw The Wolverine. Masterfully choreographed action and best train fight scene ever. The best Wolverine yet and Hugh Jackman delivers. Thoughtfully paced with a perfect blend of action and story. You don't need to know anything about the previous movies since this one can stand alone. The story may get in the way at times for those who only enjoy mindless action. I will go see it again without the 3D effect to see if that made any difference. The only drawback for me was the glare from theater stair's runner lights on my 3D glasses but that had nothing to do with the movie. They threw in a nice little surprise for the true fans just after the end credits started to roll.
