I ordered this on Black Friday and got so I would have something to watch on my new PS3 my wife got me for Christmas. It was a great experience. The price was very low and watching it on Blu-Ray was also great. The movie is violent, lots of killing of people, so be careful about letting kids watch it. It is a great back story you liked the X-Men trilogy.
What's great about it: $10 for a Blu-Ray, fricking awesome!

Exceptionally good movie if you like action movies. It almost reminded me of the movie "The Dark Knight" it answered all the unanswered questions I had.

I was very happy with the price and experience of getting this online. I had it shipped to the store to do away with the shipping costs. I will do this again soon!
What's great about it: Blue Ray is awesome
What's not so great: Does not follow the true stroy line from the comics.

Wolverine is one of the edgier characters in the Marvel universe, and his first solo pic reflects that reality. The film lives in the same general territory as the previous X-Men flicks, even as it inexorably amps up the content when it comes to violence and language.
Apparently, we have The Dark Knight to thank for that.
20th Century Fox co-chairman Tom Rothman told Entertainment Weekly, "[X-Men Origins: Wolverine] is very bada--, and we knew it would push the furthest limit of PG-13. But once Dark Knight came out, we saw that there wasn't any level of intensity we couldn't go to."
In the most literal (and probably the most important) sense, Wolverine makes good on Rothman's boast. Whereas The Dark Knight hinted at graphic violence as often as it showed it, this film dispenses with such an approach en route to the proverbial jugular. And so we get multiple impalings courtesy of Wolverine's six sharp claws. Decapitation. A pistol to the head. And the camera rarely pulls away.
In another way, though, the comparison breaks down. Wolverine lacks the philosophical gravitas of previous X-Men films, which often alluded to how we should treat those who are different from us. And never mind asking the weighty ethical questions The Dark Knight tried to raise—some of which made that film feel even darker than it was on the surface. We do get a bit of banter about whether a man can change his nature or not. And that question may spark a few good after-movie discussions. But that's not really what the fourth film in this franchise is about.
No, what we have here is an unpretentious, unapologetic actioner. Whatever messages might get lobbed along the way, they're never much more complex than Wolverine's adamantium-laced claws and his growling credo: "I'm the best at what I do," he tells Kayla, "and what I do isn't very nice."
In the famous words of Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee, "'Nuff said."

Overall the movie was a little on the lame side. The action scenes were good and held true to the X-men saga. Not mind blowing, but very entertaining and looks good on Blu-ray. Plus Wolverine is the best X-men!
The acting was not great, some of the mutant characters were undeveloped and their one liners were sad. I think my 3 year old son could have written a better script.
What's great about it: The action, fight scenes. I got it for $10
What's not so great: The plot, some of the mutants abilities, acting
