This movie can be useful educational source material as an example of appalling script writing. Its plotline is stupid.

 

Yawn! Why is so much money devoted to this character.  Perhaps because it is easy to engineer a paltry slasher in the Freddy Krueger mode when the other X-Men have powers requiring more complexity of script and special effects.  The character Wolverine is the nightmare on X-Men street.  I could not be bothered watching anymore of this tripe.
