Leave your thoughts about The Wolverine.
| HeyUGuysBen MortimerAll in, The Wolverine is a refreshingly good entry in the X-Men franchise that completely wipes out the nasty taste Origins: Wolverine left. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanA refreshing summer cocktail of action-movie staples, The Wolverine combines the bracingly adult flavor of everyone’s favorite mutant antihero — tortured, boozy X-Man Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine — with the fizzy effervescence of several mixers from the cabinet of Japanese genre cinema: noirish yakuza crime drama, samurai derring-do and ninja acrobatics. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonPreferring to stay broody and small-time, this minimalist noir, with little dialogue and no world-threatening schemes, intriguingly sustains its culture clash and blurring lines between man, beast and monster. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussA superior, even adult Marvel Comics adaptation that plays almost like a straight gangster/yakuza thriller for much of its length, until the obligatory climactic superhero/supervillain dust-up. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceSomber and restrained but with bold, vivid strokes that make other comic-book flicks look juvenile by comparison. |
| The Ooh TrayEd WhitfieldA guileless movie that's been dulled on the page and sanitised in the editing suite. |
| Toledo BladeKirk BairdIt's an occasionally serious film that never strays from its superhero roots. |
| Television Without PityEthan AlterThe Wolverine is good enough that I kept wishing it were better -- that there was another layer to the story or another wrinkle to a character's motivation or a truly spectacular set-piece that lent the proceedings some extra oomph. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesOne of the best entries in the X-Men franchise and comes thisclose to being one of the best comic book movies if it weren't for a disappointing final act. |
| Seattle TimesSoren Anderson"The Wolverine" just might be the best comic-book-based superhero epic since Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises." |
