I know I'll probably get dragged to go see it with my friends, but I've always been so 'meh' on Wolverine. never understood why he was so popular, he's always just seemed so boring to me, a walking cliche.

He represents the underdog, the little man, the come-from-behind victory. His attitude and persona are represented well by Mark Twain/Eisenhower's quote, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."

He is an "anti hero" in the sense that he shuns authority and the rules and traditional 'hero' stereotypes. In doing so, he takes on somewhat of a 'rebellious' nature that people identify with much more easily than the self-righteous attitude of many comic book heros.

His character also has more depth than just about any other comic book character out there.

"You're wrong, lil' darlin'. There's something I can do real good. The real thing I do best. I don't give up. Ever." - Wolverine
(Wolverine 39)

depth? he's a total cliche of the anti-hero with a heart of gold.

heart of gold? not really. only those he considers friends (very few). Even in the X-men series they hinted that he was "traitor" that bishop was sent back to find.

but people enjoy him because of his attitude. that he is always willing to do whatever is needed to get the job done.

only time i really didnt like it is when he went all animal like (when his adamantium was pulled out). then it got weird.

Yeah, I remember when I first saw that part, I really hope they start off there.

He is also an absolute badass. He is hot tempered and nearly an animal. Barely controllable. He like a dog that is part wolf. Very protective of the family but can snap at any second.

yeah, I think Marvel Studios owes us for the other ones... they should "reboot" the series...

I liked the first two, but the last one was all wrong.

yeah. I thought the 2nd one was great for a comic book movie. as good as could be adapted.

I didn't hate the 3rd one, I still enjoy watching it, but it is definitely the weakest of the 3.
