Why It Rocks

 * 1) It is a major improvement on X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
 * 2) While it is on the same timeline as X-Men: The Last Stand, it's a standalone sequel for it, meaning fans can watch the movie without watching previous X-Men movies.
 * 3) An effective teaser for X-Men: Days of Future Past featuring Charles Xavier and Magneto was shown during the end credits.
 * 4) The acting is great, especially with Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine.
 * 5) The unrated cut is more hard-edged and violent.
 * 6) It is respectful to Japanese culture.
 * 7) Likeable characters like Yukio, and Mariko Yoshida.
 * 8) Does introduced well known Wolverine villain, Silver Samurai.
 * 9) Watching the movie is very relaxing despite the action.
 * 10) Has a pretty awesome prediction to the movie Logan.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The story can be predictable, even though it was executed in a good manner.
 * 2) Viper of Hydra, is unfaithful to the comics.
 * 3) For an X-Men movie there's not much action to it, specially since it's based on one of the most violent characters in Marvel.
 * 4) The final battle is anticlimactic in which the elder Yashida tries to absorb Wolverine's adamantium and healing factor using his Silver Samurai Armor in order to grew back to his youth until his granddaughter, Mariko strucked him in the back with Wolverine's broken adamantium claw, considering she "buried" him along with using a flu shot to keep him unvulnerable. Then, Wolverine later defeats Yashida by tossing him down to the ground to his death.
 * 5) The theatrical cut has a lack of blood.
