Didn’t flow
Watchable but disjointed
While being a watchable movie the story seemed like a mash of disjointed scenes.
Hugh Jackman pretty much carries the film on his charm & surprisingly good singing. The cast give a great performance but it just doesn’t pull together.
Miss the Adamantium Claws though!

An ok film that could have been so much more.
Here we have the 6th entry into the X-Men franchise, and the second solo outing for Wolverine.
I, like many comic fans, was thrilled when it was announced that this film would be diving into Logan's time in Japan. It's arguably one of the strongest solo Wolverine storylines from the comic!
The finished film however misses the mark. Not completely - remnants of the comic are left intact, buts it's clear that the studio meddled once again. When The Wolverine is concentrating on the dialogue heavy scenes, it's good. When it throws Logan against ninjas, it's (mostly) good.
However, FOX obviously didn't have enough faith in this as a whole, and opted to push James Mangold in the direction of dodgy CGI orgies.
The climatic battle against a massive CGI robot ninja (referred to as Silver Samurai - the bloody cheek), is so out of place, that it nearly ruins the whole film.
I feel that James Mangold is not to blame. He clearly has respect for the source material, and isn't about big CGI blowouts - he would go on to direct the stellar Logan a few years later.
A wasted opportunity then, and a storyline I really hope Marvel Studios revisits again in the future

Like most, I went into the movie expecting Logan to die, but that didn't make it any easier! What I wasn't prepared for was for Logan to have a daughter, and to develop such a sweet relationship with her! Which made his death all the more painful

A very enjoyable movie
I know most people would be disappointed in the first adaptation of Deadpool in Wolverine: Origins, because I was,
But this time around they have fix every problem,
If you haven't seen this movie you have to stop what you are doing right now and watch it

Snikt!
I will try and avoid spoilers, but if you have not seen this movie......you should! Wolverine and X-23 are an amazing team, and add Prof X in the mix and you have solid characters you can care about. The action is well paced and the ending.....it’s a tear jerker. Loved it.

Absolutely amazing!
Was not sure at all about this film with Hugh Jackman singing, (he will always be wolverine) but there couldn't have been a better actor for this film, in Love with this film, goosebumps for most of the film and you find yourself cheering for underdogs more than once!
Heart wrenching at pieces but in a whole a wonderful film that you can watch (and sing along too) multiple times!

Simply Epic!
After first appearing in the standalone Wolverine film, much to fans ire, he has been given another shot to make right from the first failed attempt at bringing the character to the big screen. Action packed with plenty of fourth wall breakage you can't go wrong! Sorry kids, this is a comic book film for us adults.

Beware I will ruin the movie for you

This movie was a great watch, really, I’m not trying to bash it. Though the heartwrench I received after watching it LAST year I am still dealing with and just the poster makes me cringe.
The movie begins with Logan and Xavier the latter taking care and doing what he can to support the two.
There is a lot of death in this movie and we the watchers have to deal with Wolverine and his struggle with keeping himself alive after the experiments done on him has begun to poison his body. He does find out he has a kick ass daughter and ends up trying to keep her and several other mutant children safe as they journey to Canada to escape the crazy ass government people who want to turn them into weapons and studies etc.
In the end he does what he begrudgingly sets out to do that costs him dearly.

As the mutant with no memory of who he was but with the adamantium skeleton and claws, there's a reason that Wolverine was the character chosen to draw the audience into the world of the X-Men in the 2000 movie of the same name, as well as being a key player in virtually all the X-Men movies to date (skipping, say, 'First Class').
He's also the first - and, to date, only X-Men mutant (I'm not counting Deadpool as belonging to the X-Men) to get his own solo movie in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. A movie that I'm not sure whether was released before or after (or at the same time, even?) as this collection of stories.
But there sure is a lot of similarities in the early portion of that film, and with when this is set and the events that take place within it ...
[i]edit[/i]: I've just discovered that this was released first (2001-02), with the movie in 2009. Guess I know now where the early part of the plot came from!
