At least this X-Men spin off will be commercially viable. Let's face it the first two X-Men movies were mostly centered arround Wolverine and his character's search for "answers" whatever they may be.

Really, shouldn't this be Wolverine 3: without X-men.

I hope at least Wolverine has better fighting skills. I mean in the comics he did know a little martial arts. And they could at least follow the wolverine sabertooth story line. I mean they never really showed sabertooth die in the first x-men. so they could bring him back. I know hollywood don't always follow comic book story like they should, but they could at least give wolvering a better fight skill. I mean I'm tired of seeing wolverine getting beat up by a woman.

Bout time, I thought to my self. The first x-men films should have been titled "Wolverine: unleashed" and "Wolverine: De-clawed".
By the way stay true to the comic version of not only Wolverine but also the X-Men.
Those mutates need to come back, Cable needs to be born. It just didn't seem finished to me.
