I could tell from the previews that
this movie would have a lot to do with the 1982 mini-series (Four
issues and called just plain “Wolverine”). Is the
movie based on the mini-series? Yes, but VERY loosely. Marvel
does indeed have a page on their
wikia about it, but they warn the reader that it contains
spoilers, so I recommend checking that out after one has seen the
film.
Reminds me a little bit of the film
Hansel and
Gretel, which I saw on DVD a little while ago. In both films, the
hero takes lots and LOTS of physical punishment. The difference with
Wolverine is that we know he can take it. Hansel doesn't take too
much punishment, but Gretel sure did. She ends up being victorious
and none the worse for wear, but her being non-super-powered means
that I winced a lot more than I did with Wolverine.
