The Wolverine? Heck no. Yukio All the Way!

Yukio played by Rila Fukushima

Yukio totally stole the entire The Wolverine film for me.

"Yukio is an occasional thief by profession, as well as a rōnin, a masterless samurai. Yukio has been portrayed as a free spirit with an almost careless disregard for personal danger. While she is highly skilled in the martial arts, Yukio is not a mutant and possesses no super powers. Her specialty weapons are scalpel-like shuriken, of which she can hurl several at a time with deadly accuracy."

She was the one saving grace to what would've been complete disappointment.

More Yukio badassery, please!

Look, I don't mind predictable story lines as long as they're done well, which means the actors and actresses really have to come through. Unfortunately, not everyone did here. And so, most of the characters weren't memorable like the evil blonde lady mutant or even Mariko, who was Wolverine's love interest (which I dunno why since there was zero chemistry between the two...like, nada..nothing.)

Yukio, played by Rila Fukushima, was such a badass -- with her shocking red hair; with the sword skills; with her WTF-did-you-just-say?! expressions; and, with her unwavering loyalty. I was seriously bummed during the times she wasn't on screen.

Kudos to Rila for making me fall in love with Yukio.
