What to Know

Critics Consensus

Although its final act succumbs to the usual cartoonish antics, The Wolverine is one superhero movie that manages to stay true to the comics while keeping casual viewers entertained.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk A multimillion dollar pile of tedium. Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Michael Jones Shadow and Act Most of all, I love being able to say finally that Hugh Jackman killed as The Wolverine. Rated: 4/5 Aug 15, 2017 Full Review Matthew Lickona San Diego Reader Japan seems valued more for its scenery and costumes than anything having to do with its character. Rated: 1/5 Jul 14, 2015 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh An improvement from the first solo Wolverine movie, but still only serves as a throttled version of what is capable with the character. Rated: 3/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... James Mangold... stages some impressive scenes but can’t overcome a busy script from Mark Bomback and Scott Frank. Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Audiences want smarter, more dramatic superhero films. Well, now they’ve got one. Rated: 3/4 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Guilherme N Wolverine vs Japanese Megatron Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Kamren F Opening scene was cool but the movie became progressively more boring as it went on. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Jay H A great movie until the third act, when it gets quite silly. Still, it's worth watching. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Zuhith Z Not good enough to keep you engage with a very thin storyline Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Johann S There are very few movies I will actively walk out of. This was one of maybe three times I can remember in my 40+ years on this earth. This movie successfully payed grand homage to tedium and failed to make me care in the slightest about the story or wolvie's past on its own. A disappointment on all fronts. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Cole G Could’ve been top tier if they didn’t make the final battle the average superhero CGI fight and a had a pretty bland villain, but overall a really great story as Hugh Jackman gives his all in a really good performance. 7/10 overall Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
