Re: Wolverine 2



I wouldn't call myself a fanboy per se.. I just didn't like the film much.

Take out Weapon XI and gay Gambit and it was actually pretty good.

Weapon 11 without a doubt!

I like when they shoot his memories out of his brain.

No, it was still bad. The only saving graces were some decent performances from Jackman, Schrieber, and Reynolds. The story was bad, the direction was mediocre, the action set pieces weren't very good, the characters were lame.

Re: Wolverine 2

I hated the plot hole of how it believed the fake death of his girlfriend scene when she had no wounds and he could probably smell that the blood wasn't hers

I'm not a wolvie purist but i know enough to know what is right and wrong, they ballsed up deadpool badly, his time with Weapon X was too short and he shouldn't have volunteered for the procedure

I also disliked their casting choice for Stryker.

Brian Cox was excellent in X2 - they should've cast him again.

Something to do with this movie being set waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before X2.

Re: Wolverine 2

Come on.. they could've airbrushed him.

They did it with Picard in X3.

That other guy wasn't much younger looking anyway..

CG costs money and looking at Weapon XI's CG, and the falling of the towers, etc., I don't think they could've pulled that off.

True..

..& to be fair too I guess, the scene with Picard & Gandalf at little Famke's house in X3, was a couple of sequences, not a recurring inclusion.

That said - I didn't like the actor that played Stryker in XMO much anyway. Brian Cox nailed the role for me.

I thought he did well. He reminded me of Maglor so he was easy to hate.

Re: Wolverine 2

Joking aside, Wolverine 1 had its issues, absolutely. The saving grace of that film - for myself - was the always awesome performance of Jackman as Logan

That said, I am hoping for a 'balls-to-the-wall' type movie in part2, or as I like to call it: Wolverine 1 Redo

Re: Wolverine 2

I thought that actor was excellent in the Proposition, but he did feel kinda flat in Origins. Even if he is a bit old himself, they shoulda went with this guy:

He should play Bolivar Trask in the new X-Men movie.

 

[thenammagazine]

Re: Wolverine 2

I always thought, and still do, that the play between Logan and Victor was perfect, even all the way through to the end.

Re: Wolverine 2

Both those actors were very good IMO, and I think that helps to overcome some of the other deficiencies in the movie. . .but good acting can only go so far. Reynolds was also an excellent normal Deadpool, and I would look forward to seeing him take on that role again.

That's be great casting.

Yup. WB canceling the GL sequel pretty much freed him up for it too!
