Wolverine Origins (Spoilers/Discussion)

[prefused]

Was OK...I fell A bit let down,Cause The trailer gave the idea that it was a very dark movie,more adult oriented. But after seeing it, it felt like it was X-Men 4....I wont see it in theatre...Didnt like the twist with his girlfriend at the end.

i never got the impression that it was anything but xmen 4. the xmen movies were mostly wolverine movies anyway. especially 2.
hopefully, this one will tank and marvel studios can reboot the franchise.

Was already pleased with him in X-Men, but X2 proved to me that Jackman is a stellar Wolverine.

yup...when he started tearing into the troops in the mansion i was like "finally!!! let's keep it up"

 

[Deckard]

So just a quick question, not really all that much of a spoiler I dont want to get in trouble... Does this flick take place before the X-Men movies? Does it like, lead into him where we see him in the opening of the first X-Men?

I just didn't like the idea in general when I saw the trailer, it looked so focused on Weapon X, like half the movie was in the same dark facility as the 2nd X-Men. It seems like its all just a rehash with the same actor, so its in that same X-Men universe yet they are changing things they already covered in those films or doing them again, its just seems sort of retarded and redundant.

ohhh nooo I was hoping this would be good I'm still gonna give it a shot cause I decide for myself but I'm not going in with high expectations.

 

[Natrix]

I have to agree, there was potential and some decent stuff but it was poorly conceived/executed and wasn't very good overall.

It will be interesting to see what is changed in the final version but I don't see how the reshoots and an extra 10-15 minutes can fill in the plot holes and fix all the terrible ideas.

 

[OSCORP]

I decide for myself

That's exactly what you should do. If i woulda listened to many on this board i wouldn't of wiped my ass with this movie. But since i don't i ended up liking the movie. I never expected it to be as good as a Spider-Man or DK OR IM movie, being a spin-off and all.

7/10 for me.

It was exactly as i expected it to be. I was satisfied.

Krayt, if you could rate this movie on a scale from 1 to 10, what would you give it?

 

[OSCORP]

7.5

Smart ass.

Too bad you didn't look in and quote the "rate the last movie you saw thread" Your post woulda been that much funnier.

They never had any reshoots. They just shot the Wade Wilson stuff later because Renyolds had other films to do at that time.


Fox is lying through their teeth again.

And lets just say for kicks that they actually did have reshoots, or whatever, it still wouldnt fix the movie. It needs an extra 40 minutes atleast.

Didn't catch that one. Saw your 7/10 rating for the CIM comiquette.

The question remains then..

For the Marvel fans or fans of action movies in general, Is it good enough to own and have within our movie collections once its out on DVD or Blu-ray?

Where does it fit in quality when compared to the following movies:

X3
Spiderman 3
Punisher:Warzone
Punisher 2004
Ghost Rider
Daredevil
Elektra
Blade 3

and also Iron Man

Thank you

I've seen it as well....It's a definite own for me and I do feel that it's a better movie than X3 that's for sure but like Shai mentioned, I was hoping for darker.

I agree with Scar that Hugh still makes for a good Wolverine, yes a tad bit pretty boyish but that doesn't affect his performance, he still shines and portrayes Wolverine good enough for me...in other words he kicks ass when it's needed and his acting is above average.

The action itself was decent enough to at least be entertaining.

Would I own within my Marvel movie collection....YES
Would I own within the parameters of an Action Movie....YES

It's a buy for me on video for sure. Just as good as SM3 IMO. And better than all the rest (have not seen the Punishers) But then again i didn't think SM3 was totally awful either. (disappointing a little but not terrible) And X3 while my least fave of the series i enjoyed as well. If you dig Wolvie you'll at the very least enjoy this movie as a good popcorn flick IMO. Unless you let your inner nerd get the best of ya.

Like anything, you should buy the dvd if you like the movie, not if other people like it.

Aren't you the coMEDIan?

HAHA i get it!

Sounds like a good observation..

I know that i'm in the minorty when I say that I actually enjoyed Punisher:Warzone alot for it being over the top and fun to watch.

Should the Punisher character deserve the same kind of story treatment as Dark Knight or Iron Man regardless of attached budget or filmakers, sure...

Does it mean PWZ can't be appreciated for what it was....of course not.

I didn't walk into PWZ expecting Dark Knight or Iron Man but there are different definitions of what is considered to be a "Good" movie. A good movie can be good for many different reasons.

I firmly believe that PWZ can be enjoyed and appreciated just as much as TDK or IM.

Maybe Monday night i'm in the mood for TDK and Tuesday night it's PWZ and Wednesday night is Wolverine Origins.

We all have different level of appreciation and enjoyment.

Now, would most consider TDK to be the better movie over PWZ, YES...look at the box office and reviews BUT most here already are aware that there are also many good movies which failed at the box office YET Norbit made a ton of money...LOL

Yes Box Office is critcal if you want to see a continuation of your favorite characters but I can still enjoy PWZ even with its massive failure at the BO.

Ain't it great not being a drone and actually having individual tastes and then coming on here and sharing them.
