Stays mostly true to the comics and is a decent backstory on Wolverine/Logan, and so much better than 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'! It's basically set after X-Men 3 and sees Wolverine head to Japan to find peace/reconcile his past.
There's a few deviations from the comics - the Silver Samurai & Viper aren't quite done right, but are decent villains - but it's nice to see Mariko & Yukio, and have a less frantic pace for some of the film. The final third is good, but nothing too extraordinary. The whole thing with Wolverine's claws did annoy me a little, though!
I'm hoping this links in nicely with 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', where we get to see both sets of X-men!
Overall: Good character development, but nothing too spectacular.
Gav's Rating: 3.5 stars.
