Thoughts ?
I've not seen much in the way of chatter for this movie, and realize it's just opened this weekend.
Early reviews ?
I was a bit bummed at how Origins was received, so I can only guess that most aren't too hyped on this either. Which I find a bit hard to understand. I like the character. Some have said that Hugh , fine actor that he is, doesn't really play the part as it was " intended ". To each their own. I just thought there'd be more scuttle on this than I've heard.

I did hear a radio review of The Wolverine, and it was mixed. Those giving the review said Hugh was fine in it, but honestly were oblivious to the whole X-Men series. ( Yeah, real helpful review )
It's post 'Last Stand', but involves some back story to Logan's past.

Just saw it. Mostly, I was entertained by how far 3D has come. I saw it in a very nice very big theater in Times Square with the extra good sound and visuals. Whatever that's called. Cost $20/ticket. I was really impressed by the blend of 3D/color/lighting/focus/shaky cam. I don't know how movie makers continually improve the visual aspects of movies, but they're doing it.
As a movie? I was entertained. I'm glad I saw it. Logan was manly but angsty, there was action, a bit of humor, and it was mostly set in Japan which I enjoyed a lot. But I don't feel any need to see it again.
If you do see it, DO NOT leave at the credits! There's a tidbit that comes a few minutes in. (No second tidbit after all the credits like with The Avengers. I stayed to check.) The bonus is totally totally a must see. I would even claim that the bonus 30 seconds was better than the movie, because it dealt with something that's been a huge disappointment for me.
Overall, I'd say go see it. It was fun.
/may come back later to add spoiler bits

BTW, I never saw the previous Wolverine movie. I didn't feel like I was missing anything.

Well, truth be told I haven't seen "Last Stand" yet. And I will admit that I had a couple of problems with Wolverine: Origons. So, I shall see what this movie is like.
Background info on Logan is good.
Though, I do like the X-Men movies.
I wonder if my issues w/ wolverine:origins are the same. I'm not 'fan boy' for x-men, but I do enjoy the movies. ( I think I had more issues w/ 1st Class, but that's just me )

See, YOU'RE the sort of fan I'd like to hear from, as to what you think the movies have done right, what they've messed up, and such. As I wasn't so into the series in its comic form, I'd like to know what those who were think.
I mean, I can give some insight as to things Tolkien, and give pro and con to what Peter Jackson has done for the LOTR / Hobbit movies, but I guess in the end, all that matters is whether what's up on screen is entertaining or not.

I watched a Sky special on the movie, in which Hugh Jackman was interviewed. He gave us a dynamite piece of news: not only has shooting started on the next Wolverine/X-Men film, but they're using the story of Days Of Future Past!!! Shiny!

This may be a big budget flick that isn't going to bomb. Weren't they going to make a movie about "Storm"?

And the bonus tidbit in the credits makes me really really happy about the next movie in the series...
So hard to not spoil this!

Now that should be good. Bishop sent back to stop an assassination. Oh, I hope there is Gambit in it. He has to be as he is such a huge part of that storyline.
Also, he is one of other favourite characters from X-Men. Remy LeBeau aka Gambit. Aaaaaah, the suave Cajun. :)
I have such a crush on Gambit... hope the actor lives up to it!
Was he in the other Wolverine movie? I never saw that. Maybe I should. I recall a preview with Gambit in it, and I thought Oh yay! But I never saw whatever movie it was.
