The Wolverine

The Wolverine doesn't need to run!  Although in the movie he actually does run around a fair amount.

Yeah he needs to run a bit!

The funny thing though, is dead lifting is a leg exercise if I'm not mistaken.

I think the pic is at a funny angle and in weird lighting. I think his legs are bigger than it looks here.

I' m sure, that dude is huge!

He has said while training for Wolverine he eats about 5000 calories a day and has about 3 hrs in the gym a day.

Saw last night. Enjoyed it! Very cool to see some elements from the Frank Miller Japan story. Question: was the poison lady from any comics?

Deadlifting is full-body exercise. It's the best. Back, traps, forearms, abdominals, glutes and yes legs too. Hugh is a beast...I'm sure upper body was prioritized because that's where the screen time is.
The vein popping tree chopping scene was crazy.

Two thumbs up here for Wolverine - great action and stunts.  Tao Okamoto (Mariko) at 5' 9¾" looked tall and willowy to Jackson's 6' 2", a good match.  This is her first movie.

Hey that would be my normal routine (well except for the days I do more like 6 hours), but I do a lot more running and cardio and aerobics I'd guess. I'm not exactly bodybuilding.

Still haven't had the chance to see this yet, I've got to get out soon.

You really should Joby. Best and truest comic book film of the summer in my view.

I saw this last week.. here's my review from my blog

[spoiler]Here is my review (There will be SPOILERS)... First let me say that I actually enjoyed Wolverine: Origins. I mean some of the claw sfx looked unrendered but I enjoyed it overall. As for The Wolverine, I have to admit that the previews did not look appealing to me. I don't know what it was but they just didn't click for me. Now that didn't mean I wasn't going to go see it.. of course I was being a huge fan of X-Men and Hugh Jackman. So I walked out of the theater and thought to myself.. that was good. The effects were amazing, the acting superb and the story was good. They really delved into Wolverines psyche. I love that it picks up right after the events of X-Men 3 and the fact that he killed the woman he loved and how that's messing with his head. I didn't like that the guy he saves at the beginning turns out to be the "bad guy". It was cool seeing Logan's bone claws in the beginning and the end....looks like he's stuck with those now. I did think that there were enough mutants. There were two other mutants in this movie, the girl who could see visions of the last moment of peoples lives (that would be horrible) and then the snake lady whom they called Viper. I did like they little scene in the middle of the credits, with Magneto and Professor X.. a little preview of X-Men Days of Future Past (which I can't wait for). Overall it was a very enjoyable movie, much better then the trailer made it look.. at least to me. I give The Wolverine a solid B[/spoiler]

Glad you liked it Kenny.  It's really a solid movie and very much in keeping with the spirit of the character.

Haven't made it to this yet. Actually the last movie I saw at the theater was Man of Steel! I need to get out more!!

[ChrisMC]

This movie made me happy. Finally saw it today, much closer to the source material than Origins. Really enjoyed the story, amazing,a superhero movie with quiet reflective moments that say alot about the main character. Wish this had been the immediate follow up to X3, might have gotten a little of the taste of that entry out. I'm now very hopeful for Days of Future Past.
