I would give it a solid 3/5. Good effort, but you just got the feeling that some of the better elements to Logan's past were just not included in the story line.

If you haven't already heard, stay through the credits - ALL OF THEM. There are 2 added elements. 1 about 30 seconds into the credits and the other at the very end.

+1 for the Professor Xavier tie in. That was the best part IMO.

I'm going with the 6 y/o boy who sat behind us and his take on the film..

"Cheezy and predictable".  [roll]

VERY surprised I stayed awake until the end?!

the weather was too cold, so we stayed home. From the reviews I've seen, this might be the right choice.

I've seen good superhero movies..several of them in fact. 

This..maybe good for $4.99 on demand or $9.99 on DVD.

There are just certain Movies that you know what is going to take place .....like the "  Transporter  " movies.

Jason is going to have a kickass car that he drives like a man possessed and there will be a hot chick and something will be " Transported " and there in lies the plot.

Even though you have a pretty good idea of what is going to be going on 90 % of the time , we still go to or watch the " Movie  " because we like the subject matter or the Actors.

Ummm, of course it was predictable if you've followed ANY of the X-Men movies. That said, we went and saw it today and thought it was pretty damn good....

I really feel you on this and I think applies to a lot of movies but Wolverine was a movie I've been waiting to come out for 2 years. That being said I think it was just decent.  The fight scenes were good but all of them were WAY to short.  They also could have done way more with Deadpool and Gambit and I would have been happier.  Some of the story lines were confusing and were not consistant with the books.

i agree it was ok.. nothing really special, but then again its a comic book based movie so you are not askign for oscar performances here.

decent special effects.  i second the notion they didnt do enough with dead pool.

i'm waiting for the terminator/star trek (will be interested in if they can pull this whole thing off or not since people are either saying its going to be great or awful, nothing in between)/ and transformers (that movie will probably be along the lines of wolverine movie, some good scenes, relatviely weak story but a couple of cool special effects and a bunch of characters that hardcore fans will recognize)
