(Review based on the Directors Cut)

The Return -
Many years ago, the 3rd X-men left behind a huge chapter "The Rise of the Phoenix" and "The Cure". However both met with cataclysmic consequences, on part of the heroic team versus the Brotherhood of Mutants. With that being said, Logan went on a quest of re-discovery only to be left alone for several years.
With his old life behind him, could redemption be far behind?

Old alliances, and new allies work both side by side and against versus unknown forces in Japan. From Yakuza to a full fledged ninja clan. Everything is tied to many years ago, where Logan's quest across the seas landed him in a battle squadron with no one to turn to but a fellow outsider. It began and ends in the home front of where he made a friend, and an enemy.

Snikt -
This sequel to Logan's origins covers quite a bit of territory, including hints of what's to come, and has been done. More of a continuation of what was left behind, like a puzzle left undone. Altogether it wraps up this ongoing quest of redeeming himself even more. (By the way, this directors cut contains a bit more content that fans demand). A solid story, great acting, lots of action sequences, and tons of surprises.

In addition, the four disc set is the 3D bluray, theatrical release, extended cut, and a digital copy disc.
I won't give too much away, but for every X-Men fan or Snikt fan, this is for you!
