If Simmons can finish Fitz’s sentences, shouldn’t she stick around to help him finish the projects...

When traveling through the time of the mind, you carry only as many cigars as you have on you.
The Sentinels programming didn't account for the ED-209 glitch.
Level 2 Inception in mutants allows for reverse time travel.

Insight

Wolverine is the only person who can sanely live on Shutter Island.
I think Yashida was competing for medical pod in Prometheus and used himself as the template.
Lakes provide Wolverine the information he needs, not what he wants.
I'm gonna ride this Harley to the gates so they know I'm coming and walk in so they take me to the right floor.
Inception was in fact a scheme by Yashida to become the Silver Samurai.

Summary

The Wolverine: Rebirth would have been a more appropriate title.
Reel Score - D
Positive(s)
- Fight sequence with Silver Samurai
- Magneto airport scene in end credits
Negative(s)
- Ninja flick with the Wolverine
- No obvious relationship with X-Men movies (original cast or first class)*
