This week on Cinemeh, the claws come out as @BeepCount, Pow, Mayor Matt, Paddy, and Ed Bob dive into The Wolverine.

The crew discusses Hugh Jackman’s darker, more grounded take on Wolverine, the film’s trip to Japan, mutant politics, ninja fights, healing powers, and one extremely questionable third act. Along the way, they debate whether this movie deserved more love, where it ranks among the X-Men films, and if Logan is at his best when he’s slicing through bad guys or battling emotional trauma.

There’s also plenty of discussion about comic book movie fatigue before it was even a thing, bizarre villain reveals, and whether this movie could’ve been truly great if it stuck the landing.

So sharpen the adamantium claws and join us as we decide if The Wolverine is actually worth it.
