X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I disagree, I feel it works better that the separate pics, honestly.
If anything, I think it's the picture of Wolverine with the claws that isn't working (the second one to the left). I think the others are fine. What about instead of blending the images together, you use a separator like I do on my Comic Collection covers? That way you don't have to deal with blending the strip together.
In my honest opinion though, you could probably leave it as is. It's not that bad. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Yeah, I like that!! 
Only thing I'm not sure of is the Emma Frost (or whoever that's supposed to be) pic. She's such a minor character, maybe we could see that lightbulb Sabretooth pic or Blob, Silverfox, or Stryker?
This cover has come a LONG way since your first post!! I'm really liking the way this one's shaping up and I think you've learned a lot from the whole process!! Keep up the great work!!

I actually think the Emma Frost pic was more distracting. I think the Sabretooth one is fine. Sometimes it's good to have color contrast among the still images. I also didn't like how Emma's eye was covered by the claw and how it was a close-up while the rest of the stills were more medium shots.
I think you're good with the still strip. Now move on to filling that empty space below the synopsis!!

Depending on how you'd do it, the dog tag idea might feel too cluttered with the claw/tears. I'd say just go with a bold header (in your tagline's font) that's a bigger Pt. size than the texture with an underline or stroke under it. Then bullet (or use some other glyph) list the Features beneath the underline. It's never a bad thing to just K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid).

Don't center align the text, left align it.
Condense (either by reducing the kerning or horizontal scaling) the features that extend to a second line (the Ralph Winter, Len Wein, and Characters parts).
With the extra space you gain by keeping each Feature to one line, you can slide the synopsis and features down a bit to make room for a critic quote along the top.
The gradient on your Special Features header looks weird, maybe go with a linear top-to-bottom gradient (change on front tagline as well).
Not sure why don't like it. It needs a few adjustments, but it's not that bad.
