Everything I've seen for The Wolverine - trailers, TV spots, interviews, stills, one-sheets - suggests to me that it will be one of the better superhero movies precisely because it wasn't approached as a superhero movie. If it's half as good as James Mangold's 3:10 to Yuma, or Walk The Line, it'll be brilliant.
I've already got my ticket for the first show on Friday and am all anticipatory-like...
