The Dark tone of this movie had the executives at Fox worried
Well we haven't seen it yet; hence why I used the word.
But yeah... Like X-Men Origins speaks for itself, The Wolverine was a forgettable borefest that was kinda just there to build up to DoFP (well okay, I remember waiting so long during the film to see the Silver Samurai, only to be so disappointed), and now this... What an odd trilogy, where the 3rd film's (presumably) the only good one.
Ah. Didn't realize there were some who enjoyed it. I just remember it being hard to sit through, especially the scenes with Jean talking and such, and the Silver Samurai was such a letdown. Again, probably for the best they didn't have Sinister for this, but even then, there's still more things about this film that interest me than the other Wolverine solo's.

Jackman said he'd return as Wolverine if FOX and the MCU would give him a spot on the Avengers.
