It's been a quarter-century since we first saw Wolverine on the big screen.

What are your thoughts on this precursor to the MCU?

When I saw it, I felt it was the first time that a superhero movie took itself seriously enough to have a good actors, a good script, and good effects. It put what had been in my head up on the screen, and in a way surpassed it.

Batman was a very good movie, but done in an extremely cartoony way. Nicholson's Joker was fantastic, but goofy. The X-Men took great pains to ground Magneto in the Holocaust.

Michael Keaton was a comedy actor and a weird choice. He was great but not a consensus at the time.
