Here’s the Den of Geek review…
The campaign for this film has been a confusing one.
Early trailers suggested something gritty and darker than theX-Menmovie from whence it came.

And here it is.
Both of these facts clash with the whole Wolverine history/mythology that may or may not angry the hardcore audience.
From here on it the films tempo is severely toyed with.
After all the action we of course get some settled and calm drama, before the storm hits again.
But even there it is very up and down and up and down.
The blood is almost non-existent and the body count is mainly left to Sabretooth.
Ultimately it is a solid enough film for the start of the summer.
There is enough going on to make it worthwhile.
You just wished they had pushed a few boundaries a little bit further and not been so tame.
So if you suspect as much from the Beautiful people poster campaign then youd be right.
NOTE:Fan-Boys Stay to the end of the credits.
Wolverine opens in the UK tomorrow.
