I'd say he's actually just a couple notches under Nolan and Raimi.

I've heard the Wolverine scene is pretty bloody, which bodes well for the R-Rated solo film if they're finally willing to have the dude with six foot-long knives in his hands cut somebody with them.

Yeah...

They do pretty well with some of the action scenes, but everything else is perfunctory.
