Speaking of masks....
I think the reason it looked a little goofy in real-life was the whited out eyes. We've been so used to seeing the actor's eyes ever since the first Batman movie, even though if it were comic accurate, they'd all be whited out. It worked for Deadpool cause his whole face is covered, and they can use animation for the expressions.
It just looked...."off" on Wolverine for some reason. I'm still really really glad we finally got the mask after alllll these years. Don't get me wrong. It was just a tad goofier looking than I imagined.
Agree on the white eyes, it is a totally uncommon look, for a half face mask in a real life comic adaption. That’s why I hope they won’t do it for Batman.
And to all the comments how terrible the movie was or how thin and illogical the plot was. I really don’t get what your expectations were. I mean I get it, you might have skipped all teasers/trailers for spoiler reasons, but even then, taking the first two DP movies into account what did you expect this movie to be? The Dark Knight, another Logan, the second coming of Christ?
We all know Ryan Reynolds and his humor and type of movies he makes too well. So you not liking or even hating the movie for what it is, might be your own fault for going in with too high expectations, expectations this movie was never going to match.
From the first real teaser I knew what to expect, another „goofy“ DP movie with some crazy and violent action scenes, which will not redefine action cinema, but will work out fine. A lot of good fan service, even if we don’t like the choice of characters or their interpretation, but that‘s hard/impossible to achieve on a forum like this.
This movie is not amongst my top 5 comic movies by far, but I loved Hugh in it and even the chemistry between DP and Wolverine worked so good. Was the plot thin and exchangeable, a big YES to both. Did this stop me from enjoying the movie and have some big laughs. Absolutely not.
