Insight

  • Wolverine is the only person who can sanely live on Shutter Island.
  • I think Yashida was competing for medical pod in Prometheus and used himself as the template.
  • Lakes provide Wolverine the information he needs, not what he wants.
  • I'm gonna ride this Harley to the gates so they know I'm coming and walk in so they take me to the right floor.
  • Inception was in fact a scheme by Yashida to become the Silver Samurai.

Summary

  • The Wolverine: Rebirth would have been a more appropriate title.
  • Reel Score - D
  • Positive(s)
    • Fight sequence with Silver Samurai
    • Magneto airport scene in end credits
  • Negative(s)
    • Ninja flick with the Wolverine
