What does matter is having seen <a title=\"X-Men Origins: Wolverine\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0458525\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Wolverine movie<\/a>, and having it work pretty well. Explosions: check. Pathos: check. A few new mutants, both familiar (to me, that is) and un-: check. Matches current movie series continuity: check. Matches current Marvel continuity: well, okay, that part not so much, although it could be that it matches some Ultimate continuity I have not yet exposed.
