The Wolverine

Note: There are 2 versions of the film. The PG-13 theatrical cut (126 mins) and unrated extended cut (138 minutes). The unrated cut is more explicit. Movie (4/5): Following the events of X-Men The Last Stand, Logan (aka Wolverine) has left the team and has secluded himself, still haunted over having to kill Jean. Soon, he meets a young lady that wants Logan to come to Japan to say goodbye to a man he saved in World War 2. But things go wrong, when an attack for the man's granddaughter leads Logan to become her protector while also dealing with the fact that his healing factor isn't working like it's supposed to. Great action, an excellently told character driven story, and fantastic directing. This is a movie that cares about being engaging with story and character first before getting into action. Taking pages from samurai and other Asian cinema in telling Logan's story of self redemption and healing, learning to let go of his trauma and accept who he is. While the third act stumbles, it still doesn't lose the character development it has built, making it a smart kind of blockbuster film. Violence (4/5): Many moments of clearly shown stabbings throughout, with several instances of bloody violence. The unrated cut has zoomed out the picture greatly from the PG-13 version to make stabbings more visible. Blood is also added to several stabbings and shootings to make them more graphic. An extended ninja fight now has ninjas getting sucked into a snow blower and chopped up with gore and blood shooting out, extremely graphic. All in all, the added/unedited violence in the extended cut absolutely pushes it into R rated territory. Language (3.5/5): The language is mostly the same in both versions, with uses of s--t, d--k, damn, hell, etc.; however this versions has 3 f bombs (while the PG-13 version only has 1). Drinking (3/5): Logan is seen drinking in several scenes, some scenes in a bar. Sex (2/5): Characters go to a love hotel, but nothing graphic is shown. Characters have sex, nothing is shown, just the characters in bed afterwards. Logan is bathed and we see his butt. Suggested MPA Rating (for extended cut): R for Sequences of Strong Violence and Some Language

Me and my son loved this. We are huge X-Men fans and love wolverine especially. There isn't much sexual content. At one point, Logan and one of his colleagues go to stay at a hotel but the only one available is a sex hotel. They walk by a room and banging and moaning sounds are heard. There is a significant amount of violence. At the behinning, wolverine stabs an arrow in a man's hand and pours alcohol on it. Later on, three men kneel down to stab themselves. There is a bomb being dropped so they kill themselves to prevent future suffering. It isn't shown but it is heard. Towards the end, wolverine has to cut his stomach open to get a parasite out that is affecting his powers. There is a lot of blood shown and wolverines hand is covered in a LOT of blood. The f word is user once but otherwise there isn't a huge amount of profanity.
