  1. My rankings for all The Wolverine movies:

    I'll give X-Men Origins: Wolverine a 4.5. It definitely isn't the best movie from the X-Men franchise but it was quite fun to watch. For me, it is worth to watch it at least once.

    I'll give The Wolverine a 7.5. The Wolverine is good. Action is great. I didn't liked the part where he loses his adamantium claws because it's a part of him. For me, it's worth to see it more than once.

    I'll give Logan a 100000000000000000000. Logan is awesome, bloody brutal and very emotional. It's more than awesome! Logan is worth watching more than 1000000000000000000 times.

    What do you think about these three movies?

  2. X Men Origins Wolverine was terrible and The Wolverine was awful too. I dont understand why people think this movie is good. It was predictable as hell, the characters were unlikable, the action scenes were so outrageous I couldnt even suspend my disbelief for them… And honestly, Marvel hasnt made a good movie since the first Iron Man. I give it a 3/10.

  3. If you have not seen the movie then SPOILER ALERT!!!

    Over all I loved the movie and the plot was fantastic.

    But the thing that really got under my skin was when he got his claws cut off…

    When I saw the first attempt when he was locked in the chair, I knew right away what they were trying to do and it scared the living hell out of me…

    When he actually lost the claws it ripped my heart out, the claws are a part of his being, part of his gift from God, by cutting them off you are taking away a part of him that is directly connected to his destiny and the very meaning of his life…

    Im so thankful that he at least got the bone claws back, so at least he has something to work with, but in the end I would like to see some why for him to get new metal claws because that really is a part of who he is, that his bones cannot be broken…

    It hit me so hard because cutting off the claws is like cutting off a mans hands, the hands are the first and last means for how we act in this world, think of anything you do that you need your hands for and think that you can no longer do those things because you lost your hands…

    A person can live without legs, it sucks but its possible, losing the hands, or even the whole arm is alot like having your eyes plucked out, its something you absolutely need to live your life…

    All together, I hate the idea of dismemberment, if your going to cut someone up, you make sure they die, because it is not your body to be broken, living helplessly crippled is not living at all, only a truly evil person deserves that…

    Beyond that, I also like the symbolism of the serpent, its very fitting that super villain in this case is a serpent because the goal was to steal mans birth right. To live forever is Logans birth right, its his reason for being, even with the Adamantium augments I believe the whole thing is a divine appointment, that the things in life that define you are the things that were meant to happen for you to fulfill your destiny…

    Why its so fitting for the serpent is because under a spiritual context the serpent has always been their to steal mans birth right, to steal kill and destroy, whither they realized that symbolism or not they did a very good job of it.

    As of the ultimate question, what is the mean of Logans life? The meaning of all mens lives is to do good, and barrowing from spiderman, with great power comes great responsibility, when you are given a great gift it is your responsibility before God to use it for good, for yourself and even more so for others. And I believe thats the lesson he learned at the end of it, that his purpose is to make the world better as best he can.

    As for being a Ronin, the master of man is God, so we are never without a master, and thus never without a purpose…

  4. This movie was a 10/10. Period. No argument. He was finally more humerous and badass as wolverine should be. The best action scenes. A very nice story which actually wasn't as predictable even though I did see it coming. The coriagraphy and directing was awesome. The pacing was great. I had a blast watching it with all my friends as big fans of Wolverine. At almost every moment we screamed holy shit. And it had the best end credits scene, in the history of end credits scenes, and no, I did not see that coming.

  5. This movie is shit because the stupid CGI robot cut off his unbreakable claws in the end bullshit ! Wolverine's adamantium claws are with in the most sacred icons in the whole marvel comics existence. Even if there are alternative realities in comics where the claws for some reason were damaged you don't show this on the big screen, also the movie plot is very weak basically he goes to Japan to have his claws cut off because the stupid director prefers him with bone claws he is unforgiving…

  6. I agree whole heartedly with this review. I have not seen Thor yet but this movie is the best comic book movie of the year so far. To be honest I don't think Thor can top.
