The Wolverine film we've all been waiting for
Finally we get a decent gory, angry Wolverine and for once a dark, violent character being stuck with a child doesn't make him more mild, it made her more ... violent.
The film sees Logan caring for Charles Xavier struggling with dementia and catastrophic seizures, driving a limousine to make ends meet in a world where mutants are outlawed. He ends up journeying across America with young Mexican mutant Laura, whose powers match Wolverine's. While the plot is not particularly new or complex, it is good enough to carry the action.
The action is so much darker and more bloody than in any other X-Men film - I strongly believe Deadpool opened the door for them to make a truly adult film (not like that!), with no spandex in sight.
I see this as the final chapter in Hugh Jackman's time as Wolverine, though I can see more life still in the X-Men franchise (or a re-boot thereof).

Humor
Brillant movie Ryan Reynolds born to play wade Wilson aka deadpool has the right sense of humor that only he can pull off and after the false start in the wolverine origins movie much better faithful version very violent anti hero and sarcastic too boot always worth a rewatch

Seeing how professor xavier had gotten older.
Sad to see hugh jackman leave the character.
I thought the movie was well done. Action packed. Excited to see where they take the xmen in the future. Its nice to see returning actors such as Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman

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

I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry
Contains spoilers, click to show
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
