I jsut got to watch Wolverine. A friend brought me a copy. Some of the Special Effects were unfinished.

Its a pretty damn good movie. I was impressed. Especially after the crappy X-Men Last stand movie.

Its not as socially deep as Watchmen, and lots of stuff does blow up, but it aint a Michael Bay movie.

I thought the character interaction between Wolverine and Victor (Sabretooth) made the movie.

The changes from comic to movie that I noticed were tolerable, but I am sure will piss off a certain group of viewers.
Plus, I am not all that informed on the wolverine backstory. Last I read the comics was '96.

The part I wish they expanded more on was the "eternal Soldier" thing you can see in the trailer.

I am hoping for a Deadpool movie if they can get Ryan Reynolds back for it.

Hopefully I didn't drop any spoilers on people.
But I think this movie is worth watching and will probably make Marvel a little money.

It will make Fox a lot of money... Marvel has already been paid for the rights, and will probably get a cut of the profits BUT the production company is Marvel Enterprises, not Marvel Studios which is their stand alone money making machine.

Also IMDB says that Marvel Enerprises is working on X-Men Origins: Magneto for 2011 release.

PLEASE tell me Deadpool was good and that he wasn't just a cameo. He's my favourite superantihero and I'm so scared to watch the movie incase they feth his character up...

He's no more a cameo than the rest of the special team at the beginning. I don't htink they do anything that they can't erase if they do a Deadpool movie.
But they didn't cover his face. I think they are going for actor recognition over character accuracy.

The best scene he's in, for me,

At least he's still a motor mouth

THEY RUINED MY DEADPOOL

Watched it last night,not very impressed,Liev Schreiber made for an interesting Sabretooth,Gambit was done fairly well (although IMO not enough screen time) and The Blob was hilarious to me.
Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds)was basicly a frat boy with swords,thankfully only a brief cameo.
Although the film was'nt "awful" it was a bit meh,nothing really great about it.

Deadpool and Logan bof have the regeneration powers.

As does Sabretooth and Maverick (who isn't in the movie but was part of a Canadian weapon x special forces team with Sabretooth and Wolvie in the comics).

I am not familar with Maverick but now that you mention it I remember that Sabretooth has regen as well. It has been theorized that if all that was left of Logan was his nose he could regen from that.

What if you cut him perfectly in half. Do you get 2 Wolverines?

From what I heard they butchered Deadpool as a character. That alone will make me stay away from this film.

I also heard bad things about Deadpool in the movie. It's not enough if he has a few one-liners, he should be talking as fast and as often as he could.
I don't expect him to be breaking the 4th wall in a movie like this (something which he does a lot on the comics), but the Suit should be there.

Maverick was in the movie, somewhere down the line maverick re names himself Agent Zero, who is in the film (the oriental guy with handguns)

I'm pretty sure that Wolverine can regenerate, even if all that is left of him is a piece of DNA. So unless you incinerate his entire being he will come back.

Pretty convenient superpower eh?

GG

He actually got nuked by Nuke and regrew from his skeleton...

And that was with the adamantium which is a major inhibitor of his regenerative powers.

In the Age Of Apocalypse crossover he crashed a spitfire and walked out of the ball of flame and by the end of the page he was fully healed, with his haircut miraculously returned.

I really dislike how uber Wolverine's healing factor has gotten. It's such a crutch, and it's really overdone.

Anung Un Rama: From what I heard you are going to be very disappointed by Deadpool. Anyone who likes the comic character will be.

So you haven't seen it and are telling others to stay away. Why don't you watch it and form your own opinion.

To be fair, they never call him Deadpool, it is always "Wade". But when you know that Deadpool's name is Wade....
I get that there is no costume, cuz they are a pseudo-military unit, not superfriends.

And all he is is a minor character. One action scene, a few lines, and gone.
Just enough to make an impression. and for me, enough to want more.
But he isn't a key to the story.
I remember what Reynolds did with a similar character in Blade trinity.
So I look forward to it if there is a Deadpool movie.

My brother saw it (the same version you saw, no special effects) and told me about it in detail. What he said (I'm not going to give spoilers) didn't sound even a little bit like Deadpool. Just a generic sword using bad ass character.

Sounds like a two drink movie to me. Fortunately I received several bottles for my birthday so this will not be an issue

In Ultimate Hulk vs Wolverine Hulk pulled Logan apart and he pulled himself up a mountain to find his waist and legs and they melded back on to him. So he has that going for him.

Regarding Wade/Deadpool:

IF the choas gods ate Logan's soul he would just regenerate it. He's like Freddie, He'll comeback if you simply remember him.

I like how everyone is also making these assumptions based on the leaked UNCOMPLETE version. Why don't you all just wait, see it in theaters and then bitch about what hollywood did to your favorite character.

Replying on this



Regarding Deadpool as a character:
With the amount of time he is on screen, how else would you characterize Deadpool than "Wise-cracking Smartass who is a Badass in combat"?
From the comics I read, that is him in a nutshell. IMO, in the movie it is early enough in his career to be him without the cynicism of being damaged.

Also, it isn't like he is the most original character in the comics.
He was Spiderman with a meaner, cynical attitude, mixed with SnakeEyes. Created by the guy who drew Spidey for years, then created Spawn.

I brought the flick to a friends. We put it on in the background as we played Monsterpocalypse.
Everybody was rivetted to the movie. Half dozen guys thought it was good. (One guy refused to watch, on the grounds of it being a leaked copy).
They all gave the comment of hoping to see the finished product.
Never did finish the game tho.

In the Age Of Apocalypse crossover he crashed a spitfire and walked out of the ball of flame and by the end of the page he was fully healed, with his haircut miraculously returned.

That will be the nerds Hair For Men commercial in 30 years.

Is gambit in it?
I thought I saw him in the commercial...

Just saw the movie.

I'm.....dissapointed. It wasn't quite as big of a letdown as X3 was, but it's not what I would call a good superhero movie. Jackman was surprisingly unlikeable. All he did was growl and look angry and every scene with his girl were way too kitschy. And that whole story about the moon was very....useless.
They did a few things right though. I was quite satisfied with how they handled Gambit and Blob was okay too. I never heard of that black Teleporter dude before, but I guess he was okay.
The way they handled the Wolverine/Sabretooth relationship was nice, but it kinda screws up X-Men 1.
Okay, here's the spoilery part:


And I have a question for the US user who saw the finished version of the movie, not the bootleg.


So, it's now Ghost Rider, but it ain't X-Men united either. Watch at your own risk.
