I know fans were psyched for this one because it would explore Wolverine's samurai past. Since this one took place in the same universe as the previous Wolverine film (a hated flop), fans wondered how it would be done. Turns out it was halfway good. Director James Mangold took his first stab at Wolverine with this movie, but it didn't quite turn out to his full potential. He would later go on to knock it out of the park with 'Logan,' but more on that later.
This is a welcome entry into the Wolverine storyline, but it just doesn't feel as heavy as a Wolverine movie needs to feel. It also gets a little eggy with the big samurai robot, but I will admit, at times the Silver Samurai is very terrifying in that movie.
