I enjoyed X-Men: Wolverine very much. The action is second to none. Hugh Jackman again proves he IS Wolverineits not just an Oscar song. The movie is tight and lean and superbly done. A nod must go out to the director as well because he juggles all these characters and plot points just beautifully.

okay look i am going to have to ask you to go away, store up some more comic nerd rage, then come back and try to do it again. that just wasnt heated enough

@TheWolverineiscool this movie should have never been made ruining a good B-list character forever (Deadpool) i mean look at Thor (also a B-list character) and it wins

[TheWuCepticon81]

This movie was a huge shit pile.

[Braly5]

yay for red gambit eyes! You know what, as much as I REALLY wanted to see red on black, I can settle with this. I was happy... or at least content.

OVERALL: this was an excelent movie, and this is comming from a comic nerd :)

[TheWolverineiscool]

All of u hypocrites out there who dint like this movie can go n f***k yourselves..the plot was awesome.. reinventing the characters is wht wolverines all abt...he had different story-lines n the comics so u cant expect to possibly define wolverine..which is wht makes him intense and tragic...,,the director did an excellent job and all thx to hugh for playing the character so perfectly.

[SuperDarren1990]

You know, I don't get it with all of you idiots out there who pretend to know the comics. Wolverine had about four different story-lines in the comics, written by different people all together, none of which ever was settled by it's creators or anyone at Marvel. Gavin Hood simply researched all of it to make a simply good exciting story. He did a magnificent job! So next time, do your home-work. This is @ trongchau18, Semp314, Headache10000 and all of you dumbos out there!

[trongchau18]

Gavin, scriptwriters, and 20th Century Fox screwed the franchise badly. Re-invent characters? are u fucking stupid. Heres one, Wolverine in the comics was forced and laced with adamantium and during the process they brainwash him causing him to have amnesia, in this stupid movie he fucking volunteers for the process and loses his memories thru a bullet??????how stupid is that..and they call this "The Origin?" very misleading.
