On July 14th, 2000,  the first X-men movie was released. A film series which, 17 years later is doing successful and still the favorite movie of many people. In the first X-Men movie the Wolverine was introduced to fans for the first time ever in live action. Played by Hugh Jackman the character was the best known character and the fan favorite of many fans. After the first X-Men there were many more sequels and spinoffs in the years to come, some which were great as the original while some lacked what the original had. However, the one movie that many people wanted was a Wolverine solo spin off and they got it. Well, 3 of them to be exact. The first ever solo Wolverine movie was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. X-Men Origins: Wolverine,  even though it was the most anticipated, did not receive great ratings from movie critics and was by far the most mediocre film produced from the X-Men series. The producers of X-Men even decided to wipe it from their movie continuity. Next came The Wolverine. The Wolverine received higher ratings than X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The story followed Wolverine to Japan after the events of the third X-Men film involving the original 2000 cast. The Wolverine was a good movie but did not have something Logan did: an R-rating.
