This is looking freaking epic.

There really is no way that Charlie's not a ghost/figment in this, is there?

He was shown bed-ridden in previous trailer, and goons were threatening him, so probably not (unless he dies early...)

Honestly crying right now... Big fan of Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine (despite being way taller than I would have liked ... but hey it still has the 'wolvie' feel to me)... For me he was the best thing about the X-Men movies (when he was in them)... I was skeptical when the first teaser images showed up but so far both trailers do not disappoint.

Indeed, this is really looking like the Wolverine movies always should have looked.

Really looking forward to this, at the tippy top of my list of stuff I wanna see

Pretty sure he dies at some point. I'm wagering that's who we saw Logan burying in the first trailer.

Definitely starting to get more excited about this one.

This movie better not suck like Wolverine II did.

The Wolverine was fine up until the final act. Certainly miles better than Origins was...

I actually like The Wolverine - but yes, Origins was...bad.

Origins was great! Granted, if it had been any longer than ten minutes it would have become very stale, as all one man shows do, even if that one man is Liev Shreiber. Not sure why they named it Wolverine instead of Sabretooth Origins, though.

But a Wolverine movie with Hugh Jackman? Might work.

It feels like you're having a different conversation now.

With yourself?

He's right. Shreiber was the best part of W: Origins. And it set up some good gags for the Deadpool movie. And had an awesome video game. Beyond that? Trash...

I dunno, seeing Shreiber run on his hands and feet is definitely one of the most ridiculous things I've ever saw in a film...

I will say, I did like Gambit's scene in the film though.

"The Wolverine" is pretty solid though, I'm even ok with the ending, though that is the weakest part.

I think that was the frustrating thing about Origins: It had some cool stuff in it, it was just a badly cobbled-together mess that jumped the shark at the end.

And the bad CGI claws in scenes that didn't even need CGI claws were just painful.

I was talking about the one in Japan. Didn't care for it. I liked the one where he jumped a helicopter with a bike and fought mute deadpool on three mile island with lame New Orleans gambler and had a brother.

Really?

How odd...

I guess the Good Brother / Bad Brother storyline was interesting.

Also, I like the actor that played his brother. He was excellent in the HBO Movie about the making of Citizen Cane.

I wonder if parts are Charles in real life and later Charles in Logan's head. It might even be that Logan has to put Charles down for his own sake. That'd be dark but so perfect for the tone the trailers have set.

Really hoping this doesn't suck. I never read Old Man Logan, but from the brief Wikipedia entry I read, it sounds like a kickass story

I am liking these trailers more.

Claw underneath the chin, with claw protruding the top of the skull!

Just got back from watching it . Stunning, funny,heartbreaking

All I have to ask is this; is it better than both W: Origins and The Wolverine? Cuz I disliked both of them. A LOT.

Yeah far far better . Its not a xmen movie a.think of it more along the lines of unforgiven or the rover . Brilliant acting and a great swansong for the cast

Agreed. So much better than the previous Wolverine movies. Also I had completely missed that this had gone for the R rating and holy crap was it violent. You reeeeeaaaaaaallllly get to see why you shouldn't messed with someone with claws like that.
