So yes, you are right. Wait.....no, the movie is just total crap.

I have a horrible admission, I will see this movie, just because of that fucking stupid scene where he rides the motorcycle past the hummer/claws it, then gets launched into the air and kills a motherfucking helicopter.
It's so stupid, it comes full circle, and goes back to being awesome all over again.
Like Tim and Eric with better special effects and claws!
Or perhaps you have no taste, this move was rubbish, dbz type shit. Compare this to any of the recent comic book movies. shit movie
The only thing that made this movie bearable was Jackman and subsequently Schreiber to an extent. Schreiber was entirely underutilized in this film, one of the greatest actors in the world and they waste his talents. They should have taken a hint from whoever the fuck directed spiderman 2
Schreiber is very endearing. Dunno why. He's an amazing actor. He needs more roles. Reminds me of those throwback leading man type actors.
I think the reason why this movie failed so hard is that they had to give Jackman as much screen-time as possible otherwise it wouldn't be sellable.
That's their fault because it's fucking WOLVERINE! People would have watched this movie regardless.
Instead they sped past the best parts of the origin story.
Anyone here read the Wolverine Origin storyline from the comics?
How awesome would that have been?
I think ultimately marketing > faithful to the story.
Kind of makes you appreciate Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Although, the studio execs must have realized that they crapped up the franchise enough and they wanted to try a new style (the not sucking kind).
But Jackman is awesome as Wolverine. He deserved a better storyline.
There's just too much source material to mine/cover, blame the writers... that's what everyone else does!![]()
They should do a Wolverine series! But on HBO! It could be like Highlander + Highway to Heaven + Renegade ! (Minus the mullets)
The ending scenes were pretty epic since none of the CGI was there lol...
I just don't understand why, when you have a built in audience, you don't work to meet those expectations. As soon as you say Wolverine movie you have a line of people waiting to see it who would know exactly what to be looking for. Do you need to take liberties in an adaptation? Absolutely. Nobody expects a direct translation, but the changes they made are going to make no sense to the built in audience and most likely disgruntle them. Nobody is saying this movie is poor because we're just dying for attention or we're so enslaved to the source material nothing else will do. We're saying it because it's true.
Or just download it instead of streaming it <_<
A good Wolverine movie would be: Wolverine VS. Ninjas, Rated R. You know in your heart of hearts it's true.
