I took my 12 year old son to see this movie because he is a budding adrenaline junkie and loves explosions and things blowing up and mushroom clouds and chase scenes and sparks and explosions. He reeeeally wanted to see this one.
I do not enjoy watching violence. I get a little sick to my stomach from all the bloodless mass killing. Bloody killing is worse. We have all the pacifistic discussions afterwards, about the consequences of violence and the choices the characters made. But there's no getting around it: the boy likes action.
Me? I like handsome men.
I actually do think it's a pretty good movie; it's great looking, has a plot, and even throws in a few moments of comic relief in there to balance out all that rage! and revenge!
Oh- and did you know that the Wolverine is Canadian??? That he's from way up north? And that... he's a LUMBERJACK?!? What? Yeah-huh!
No way! WAY!
This movie contains A WHOLE LOTTA HANDSOME.
Ryan Reynolds! Such a nice Canadian boy.
Liev Schrieber, all bulked up and eeevil, with catlike agility!
Taylor Kitsch... where've you been all m'life? (Um... in CANADA?)
will.i.am (yep that's how he spells it) got to wear the BEST crazy cowboy hats and belt buckles, and pulled it off with cool swagger. Also he has lovely eyes.
See, I'm equal opportunity with the good-lookin, so I can confess that I was quite taken with Lynn Collins, who melts brains with her blue eyed stare. (It's not as unpleasant as it sounds.)
Daniel Henney as Agent Zero. Huh? Really? Zero? Hardly!
Yep, if you can get past the violence - it is a comic book universe story, after all - there's lots to look at. I'm just sayin'.

Doesn't he look awesome in that ripped up white Hick Hugger?
Ah yes, current Sexiest Man Alive (although I still have my preferences on that...) as well as Oscar host, Broadway star, Van Helsing (silly movie but he looked great) and family man. 
Finally, I want you to know that I love EVERYTHING about this. Love the denim jacket with the fuzzy collar. Love the belt buckle! Totally love the beat up El Camino. Love the workboots. Love the general lumberjack vibe. Even diggin' the feathery 70's Camaro chick hair.
I just love a nice manly outdoorsy Canadian guy, don't you?
(Yeah I know Jackman's not Canadian, he's Australian; everybody knows that, right? But this was actually filmed partly in New Zealand. I think New Zealand is another of my favourite actors. It's played Japan, Canada, and Middle Earth. Hugh, you look really good as Wolverine, and New Zealand, you look really good as Canada!)
