Does the job

Okay, so everyone likes Wolverine best out of the X-men, so it was no surprise that he got his own movie out of it. However, 'Origins' (as it was titled) wasn't as popular at the box office as the studio would have liked. Yet, due to the fact that it's Wolverine, who cares? So... let's give him another movie anyway.
This time out steel-boned (or Adamantium, or whatever it's called) is in Japan, so expect plenty of fights with samurai. Next adventure he'll probably be in Norway, followed by a film set in Brazil, before finally ending up in Wales. Anyway, it doesn't really matter where he is... Hugh Jackman continues to do a decent enough portrayal as the titular character to make the movie worth sitting through. He fights, he growls, he fights a bit more. It's all good. However, this time the whole 'mutant aspect' which was so familiar in the X-men and Origins has been toned down a bit more.
In this story (and I'm not 'spoiling' it for you as it's in the trailer) Wolverine loses his powers of rejuvenation and so needs to be a little more careful when taking on his enemies. Therefore you don't need to be a mutant (or have their 'mutant powers') to defeat him).
So, if you like the X-Men, or just gritty action, you'll probably like this one. It's a solid entry into the franchise, but doesn't cover too much new ground.
