Let me start by saying I am a huge Wolverine and Marvel universe fan.

After all the hype I was excited to watch this film but personally I just didn't like it, which disappointed me. I go to the cinema to be entertained not to be depressed. I found the whole film portrayed a miserable old Wolverine in a dark place, surely when you are over 200 years old you would have figured out how to enjoy life instead of wasting it moping around.

It was violent and I have no issue with that and some of the scenes were superb, The acting was also very good from all involved, but I found the film took itself far to seriously and was too preachy.

If I go to the cinema to see a super-hero or anti-hero movie I don't need it to be believable and realistic and I do not need the point of the movie rammed down my throat, its supposed to be far fetched and unbelievable to stretch your imagination and let you work out your own point of the movie.

I just feel this film is a demonstration of a character misunderstood by the contract owner and how they would feel if they were in Wolverines shoes.

To sum up.. Too preachy, too miserable & too dumbed-down to be a properly enjoyable anti-hero movie.
