[Dr Kain]

The Wolverine - Well this movie certainly made up for that Origins crap. The first 2/3rds of this movie is really nicely done, the story is interesting (and feels reminiscent to the Claremont/Miller mini series from the 80s), the characters are really well written thanks to the small cast, and some of the cinematography is excellent. The scene when Wolverine is battling Mariko's father just looks gorgeous thanks to its blue lighting. In fact, so does the entire scene beforehand when the ninjas are taking out the Yashida guards. Unfortunately, everything that happens after Wolverine wakes up from all of the arrows that were stuck in him is where the movie falls apart. The final villain was lame as hell and they totally under utilized Viper. Not to mention the bone clone bit at the end was just terrible. It does a nice little lead in for Days of Future Past, but it is kind of a shame that this movie no longer exists in the canon, but oh well, that's what happens when you have too many cooks in the kitchen. I give The Wolverine an 8/10.
