"The Wolverine" 2 (out of 4)

The Wolverine is certainly an improvement over the horrible Origins train wreck. But I still wasn’t blown away by it. Plot holes – is he healing or not? What about the wounds on his hands when the claws come out? It was made pretty clear that these claws come from under his skin - and cause him a great deal of pain whenever they come out, as he tells Rogue in the first movie. Hugh Jackman is fantastic as always… even though he’s a full foot taller than the character in the comic book. And kudos for following the Frank Miller Japan story! 

The Wolverine: 2.0

X-men: First Class: 3.0

X-men Origins: Wolverine: 1

X-men 3: The Last Stand: 1

X2: X-men United: 3.5 (this one really stands out as the gem of the series)

X-men: 3.0
