The only film in the X-Men saga I didn’t see in theatres might not have been had I known about the heavy reliance of Jean Grey hallucinations. Let’s see what else The Wolverine messed up, courtesy of Cinema Sins.
This 11-minute critique is the most of The Wolverine I’ve managed to watch without falling asleep. He might have claws and a ridiculously effective healing factor, but Wolverine doesn’t make for interesting solo movie material — at least in the hands of the current licence holders.

AAAAAAND……blocked.
Welcome to a brave new world of censorship… BLOCKED!
“This video contains content from FOX, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.” Isn’t it a critique on the movie?
The “Jean Grey hallucinations” were the worst parts in The Wolverine IMO. She’s my least favourite X-Men character (in the movies at least), and the love triangle in the trilogy between, her, Wolvie and Cyclops absolutely shat me to tears
The love triangle in the comics shat me to tears.
I hate her as well, but I liked her inclusion in the movie because Wolverine cared a alot about her, and it would have been cheap if he’d just forgotten her completely after The Last Stand.
Jean is easily the most boring character in Xmen (in all forms).
I thought that was a bit unfair, so I tried to think of a more boring character. I couldn’t.
Wait! Storm in the movies. She’s a non-entity and they keep making up reasons for her to use her powers.
Regular Storm owns, though. So I’m with you on Jean.
But Haley Berry is quite pleasing to my eyes.
Never understood the Halle Berry thing. She’s not a bad looking woman by any means. I just never saw the sex symbol status. *shrug*
She’s not always a terrible actor, but in X-Men she was. She also forced a partial rewrite of the script in number 1 because she demanded more lines and screen time. Which makes her a jerk.
i think she is also the most unattractive female actor in the xmen series, but thats just my point of view and preference.
