10 Worst Fox Marvel Movies

10. The Wolverine

2013's The Wolverine isn't a terrible film by any stretch, but it's also not necessarily a great one. Upon its release, it had the unenviable task of luring audiences back who had been turned off by 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine while also carrying forward Wolverine's story following the events of X-Men: The Last Stand.

To its merit, The Wolverine really offered up something unique by sending its titular mutant to Japan, giving Hugh Jackman some good material to work with in dealing with his grief over the loss of Jean Grey and in the arrival of characters like Mariko and Yukio in his life. There's even some great action here, such as a battle atop a bullet train or a sequence where Logan is pierced by dozens of rope arrows fired by ninjas.

Unfortunately, there's also a lot that doesn't work, like the villainous Viper, whose campiness often feels out of place with the tone of the film, and a final act involving the Silver Samurai that ultimately feels lifeless simply because of how generic it is in comparison to an otherwise unique film. As part of the X-Men franchise, it's a decent entry whose biggest sin is being average, director James Mangold's warm-up for the far superior Logan.
