It deserves much more than the meager 7.0 rating here. I love it's down to Earth tone and action. Don't get me wrong, I love massive action in a comic book film but Wolverine is a character that doesn't need ridiculous stuff like say Superman or The Avengers. Let him have the more fantastical action when he's with the X-Men.
Next to Nolans trilogy and Hulk (yes Hulk) this is one of the most character driven superhero films ever made. The Iron Man films have strong character arcs, but there is more symbolism and meaning under the surface of The Wolverine than most. The directing is strong and assured where the actual touch of the director is felt throughout.
I think some of the complaints against this film are overblown. Like how Viper feels out of place and the OTT third act. I just don't see it. The way people go on about it you would think Viper is some gaudy, scenery chewing uber Femme Fatale. This is far from the truth. She is the typical icy vixen. Nothing more. I actually felt she added some good personality to the film.
And the way people go on about the third act I envisioned this bombastic excess of explosions and fireworks. What I saw was a surprisingly restrained last battle with a respectfully small use of CGI. -

I'm probably one of the only people I know that actually like Ang Lee's Hulk. The only part of the movie IMO that is lackluster is the final fight.

Ang Lee deserves an "A" for effort but the final product just didn't work at all. I did like his "comix book" cuts trying to bring home the flavor of reading the books. It's just the story itself was a huge swing and a miss as was the lacking CGI.

I could not agree with you more, bro
A complete masterpiece in every sense of the word; From Directing to performances and production to costumes and score and story ALL FLAWLESS! This film is my pic for Best Picture of 2013 (Next to 'Carrie' which was also just as well made) It sux it wasn't nominated though
