Wolverine is one of the most complex of the X Men squad. He's no do-gooder yet he's compelled to have mercy, he's no team player yet thrown (at times literally) into joining an ensemble; all while battling to respond with either his homebody gentle nature or 'wolverine' aggression. It takes him twice as long to make a decision when it's go-time as if he needs to pass 4-5 check points before acting. This might be Jackman's own take but in this film Wolverine seems esp. slow. Hood's laborious attn to peripheral mat. (i.e. battle scene memories and cookie baking geriatrics) instead of plot dev. (i.e. who was the real father, relationship w/Sabertooth etc.) and a generic film score by Williams produced a very lean Jackman but lackluster film.
