We're back with another installment of our audio commentary series, this time taking a look at that OTHER Logan movie from director James Mangold. That's right, it's time to revisit 2013's THE WOLVERINE, the second (and arguably somewhat forgotten) solo Wolverine film. After X-MEN: FIRST CLASS had put the X-Men film franchise back on track, this entry was under a lot of pressure to not only keep the hot streak going, but also to erase memories of the previous solo film, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. To do so, the filmmakers turned to a classic fan favorite story/setting, as the movie chronicle's Wolverine's adventures in Japan. While it might not be as beloved as LOGAN, this film is still a necessary step to get to that epic finale...but how does it hold up as stand-alone movie in its own right? Listen on to find out, and hear our thoughts on the film and its ultimate place in the franchise. As usual with our commentaries, watching along with us is recommended, but certainly not required.
