This movie was meant to answer questions from the first two movies, like what he did in the military and how he came to have an admantium skeleton. It even added new details to his life like Kayla and his relationship with Sabertooth.
I can't say this movie was unnecessary because there was a story to be told here; it just didn't fill in the missing pieces of his life as well as it should have.
ok ok im going to list a few things that this movie was suppose to cover according to you and tell me if we didnt already know this from the previous films or crap that made no sense or wasnt covered enough to care about.
1) wolverines military past - ok we were shown he lived through most of the big wars but somehow we are never given a reason for how he stops aging at a HUGH JACKMAN age.
2) weapon x program - we are shown this "team" he joins but that lasted for about 10 minutes and then we flash foward and when the team starts getting killed we dont care because we werent given enough time to get to know these characters.
3) wolverines experiment - we saw this already in x1 and x2 and heck cox even told us step by step in the second. nothing new with this scene at all. no big reveals, just us seeing him getting a few needles.
4) sabretooth - the director and the studio should be slap in the face 5 times for this because they created a huge plot hole. if they are brothers then how come in X1 sabretooth doesnt even recognize him? i give wolverine a pass because he lost his memomry but come on that is a huge plot hole.
5) kayla- who? oh the girl that just showed up when he was playing all american man chopping down trees. well we didnt get to know her at all and i didnt care when she died.
bottom line dont call this an origin movie when there is no origin. I.E. tell us about his powers, tell us about his aging process, not just oh look he is getting his metal skeleton.
if I'm wrong in any of this someone please tell me.
