This one’s simple: if Team Wolverine 3 want to make sure they’re making the best Wolverine movie possible, they also need to look backwards for tips on how NOT to do a Wolverine film. Both X-Men Origins and The Wolverine made a good deal of money at the box office, but that alone doesn’t ensure longevity; at this point, the pair have already largely been disregarded by both fans and critics for their poverty of quality.

The flip side, of course, is that the people behind Wolverine 3 have to look to both Origins and The Wolverine for what worked, as well as what didn’t. Origins might be for the most part a bomb, but it also contains one or two solid action beats. As for The Wolverine, the relocation of the character to a new setting and the quieter, more surprising dramatic moments both add to what makes the film feel fresh. There is bad, but the good needs to be acknowledged, too.
