    new director, new effects company, new writer and I'll shell out for the sequel.....it was okay if not only in part because of the actors themselves....bring on Gambit and Deadpool spin-offs...

    This movie gawd-awful. I've seen 80s action movies better than this. Marvel needs to take back the X-franchises and reboot them in-house with Marvel Studios with better writers collaborating with current and past Wolverine scribes. The X-franchises will never reach the level of coolness that was achieved in IRON MAN.

    as much as I and all Marvel fans would love to see Marvel Studios take over the writing/production side of the X-Men franchise....20th Century Fox wants total control of their franchise properties...you'd think after the massive success of Iron Man ..along with the amazing fan feedback from Incredible Hulk, which was a large improvement from the first film...they'd be open to working with Marvel

    Marvel Studios understands the canon and complexity of their characters...knowing how to bring them to the screen without making fanboys angry as they have been with Fox since their rein of terror...X3, Daredevil, Elektra and Fantasic Four films have all damaged the progress of good comic book movies at Fox since the horrible ones still make tons of money....

    The Big Hollywood studios will never get it, they have too many beurocratic dumb asses who think if you put in "x" amount of action sequences, stars, and cool DGI you will have a hit film. Its their bible, their mantra, and no amount of bombs or under performing films will sway them from it.

    Haven't seen it. On my way right now. I don't suppose there will be ninjas there like in the Claremont/Miller limited series?

    While I enjoyed the movie for it's 80s action vibe and the amazing Nawlins street fight... I did get the feeling that Gavin Hood's vision wasn't fulfilled to the fullest extent of his abilities. It did feel manufactured by the suits at a few moments. I really enjoy Mr. Hood's work, and I hope on the DVD/Blu-ray, we get to see a cut that isn't as sanitized as the theatrical cut.

    I saw it and it was ok. It needed WAY more Gambit. He was the best.
  • Isamu · 6 months ago
    Yes we need more Gambit.

    I liked it until about the last half hour or so. (SPOILERS) I mean, it really pissed me off how Wolverine seemed completely unmoved by the fact that his wife lied to him. And how Gambit came in at the end and they pretended he had been a central character throughout the movie, even though he just flew a plane and left. And they killed Deadpool. WTF?

    B-

    The story started well enough, lost its focus in the middle, ended with a bit of an anticlimax.
    Jackman and Schreiber were great. Lynn Collins (Logan's lady) was not up to task. Bad casting.
    Why was Will.I.Am there anyway? The rest of the guys were solid enough.

    There should be a director's cut. I really expected more "oomph!"

    Still, I hope that they do the sequel. As long as it's the Japan storyline.

    OR... a series of animated shorts whose storylines are taken directly from the comics. something like The Animatrix. that would be cool!

    WORST MOVIE EVER!!! I wanted to walk out. Adamantium bullets?! Really? Is he a #%*#ing werewolf now?! Horrible effects, horrible acting, Ma and Pa Kent were there for some reason! The baddest mutant on the planet was polished up and turned into a cheese-ball, bubblegum, mainstream shell of a character. I just hope someday they make a movie with Wolverine in it....

    I don't like how they made saber tooth's character, they should have just got the same guy from the first X-men just shorter hair lol why they got to change sht around? I guess that's Hollywood, but Dead Pool rocked, PLEASE MORE DEAD POOL!! And if your going to see it, stay there after the credits.... seriously..

    this movie was horrible. worst script ever. why don't they just hire comic book writers to write the comic book movies? i can think of a few jason aaron storie with wolverine that could have been incorperated, ones that would include mystique. and why not just stick to the origins comics!? i thought this would show the developement of his mutation and not just show him as a kid for 2 minutes and now he's almost 40 and fighting in a bunch of american wars for some reason. wasn't weapon x a canadian experiment? i hate how the whole movie is just about jackman and how he doesn't even have the wolverine hair like he did in x-men 1. who cares about all the other mutants, i came to see wolverine's orgins. not a bunch of mutants who can move really fast and jump high for no reason. they don't even kill off a single one of his ladies, and they make him invicible. wolverine should have alot of emotional bagage and be in constant pain from having metal cutting up his inside constantly. also, he does die, he just comes back to life, so when he gets stabbed and such he should be wounded and/or disabled, not just become terminator.
