Wolverine- the movie

post #1 of 35
Thread Starter 
Saw it yesterday.

Movie was awesome. Pure entertainment for my wife and I. Just enough violence and cool actions to sustain the 1:47 prequel. Nice tie ins for the first X-men movie.

I didn't like it. It came off as so much more hokey than the others. I was groaning through a good part of it.

Movie sucked as expected, Deadpool had so much potential but was cut way too short.
I hate how they tried to make this movie fit in with the x-men movies.
Without that, this movie could have been so good.

Venting...

*Fanboy Activated*


**SPOILER ALERT**





They totally got Gambit and Cyclops powers switched.
Gambit's kinetic powers is supposed to make things explode, not not push by force.
While Cyclops powers are supposed to be a force not a hot magma like beam.
How can it be so inconsistent with what they showed in the x-men movies?

The ending after the credits was, well, horrible. They could have put more into it and maybe extend it.
Maybe let him walk around and close the whole thing by breaking the third wall.

They didn't need Stryker to explain what the adamantium bullets were going to do to Wolverine, the audience are smarter than that.
It totally killed the point. I honestly was guessing how he would lose his memory until he explained it.
They should have just showed him with the gun, shoot Wolvy and he wakes up without his memory.
I think the audience would have figured that one out themselves.

Also, they didn't show how or why Sabretooth wouldn't mention he is brothers with Wolverine in X-Men 1?
They give a hint that Sabretooth somewhat knows Wolverine in X-Men 1 but considering how close they are in this movie, they should have showed Sabretooth lose his memory too.

Minor criticisms...
Where the hell did Quicksilver go after he was released?
They should have picked a much hotter chick to play Emma Frost.
Wraith/Will.I.Am being stupid thinking his punches would kill Sabretooth.

Emma Frost looked young enough for me. In addition to your spot-on criticisms, Remy's accent should have been stronger, thicker, etc. He didn't seem Cajun enough.

I won't be seeing it. It got terrible reviews, and a couple of people I know and whose tastes are roughly in line with mine said it turned out to be pretty much as I'd expected -- cheesy, overdone, and empty.

My biggest gripe is the deadpool character. He's awesome in the first half of the movie and complete hollywood trash in the 2nd half of the movie.

Also making wolverine lose his memory from being shot in the head is a total copout, just because the script writers couldnt make it work having him lose his memory in the weapon x experiment they just go and fuck with the entire timeline/character. Weak.

This. So corny. And I'm a huge X-men fan.

They should've got Sawyer. But oh well...

+1 to basically all of this.

Yes, it's a shame they ruined the deadpool character (and then worse, killed him off). Although technically I suppose he could probably just pick up his head and put it back on.

I always find that, the worse the review, the better I enjoy the movie.

Haven't seen it yet. Still plan on checking it out despite the bad reviews here and elsewhere.
post #12 of 35
It was pretty bad. Maybe one of the worst movies I have seen in the last year. But then again, I am a fan boy.

somewhat entertaining but thought it could've been better.

Disappointing. The basic Wolverine + Sabretooth/Stryker plot had potential but the whole Deadpool thing was just over the top and really killed it. All the minor character's were either underdeveloped (why did gambit do anything he did?), poorly portrayed or just stupid and unnessary. They really needed more scenes of wolverine kicking ass, as it was all the fight scenes were less then impressive.
