Insight

Wolverine is the only person who can sanely live on Shutter Island.
I think Yashida was competing for medical pod in Prometheus and used himself as the template.
Lakes provide Wolverine the information he needs, not what he wants.
I'm gonna ride this Harley to the gates so they know I'm coming and walk in so they take me to the right floor.
Inception was in fact a scheme by Yashida to become the Silver Samurai.

Summary

The Wolverine: Rebirth would have been a more appropriate title.
Reel Score - D
Positive(s)
- Fight sequence with Silver Samurai
- Magneto airport scene in end credits
Negative(s)
- Ninja flick with the Wolverine
- No obvious relationship with X-Men movies (original cast or first class)*
