Wolverine
Man, I really ought to talk about this movie.
LIEV. Liev Liev Liev Liev Liev Liev Liev Liev Liev. FL:JFLSJFL:SFJSKLFJ: lkjSF:LJF IO:JEIOj; Fl;SJFLJ:EOUE: I like Hugh Jackman and all, and I like movie!Wolverine and all, but I mostly went into this for Liev AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. Except for maybe wishing he had more screen time. al;fjaklf;fjlfj;lkfj a;fjlajf;ljflj;flajf. Every time I see him, he's playing Good Just Man tormented by Terrible Circumstances. He's TREMENDOUS at it. I love it. Oh, he does morally conflicted SO BEAUTIFULLY. But good goddamn, it's FUCKING AWESOME to see him play unrepentent evil. THE EVIL LAUGH. THE EVIL SMILE. THE EVIL EVERYTHING. adfakf;jalfjlafd;fda OM NOM NOM
I can't be the only one who thinks Creed and Logan were OFF THE CHARTS slashy. Though somebody did make a really good comment in saying that all we see are them falling apart and fighting each other. You never really get a good sense of who they were together. Yeah, you've got them fighting through the ages in the opening credits, but that's not really establishing the relationship yo. Betrayal and abandonment mean more when you've seen what was betrayed and what was abandoned. With that said, though, Liev is awesome enough to convey to me his feelings on the matter. Hugh, idk. Not as much.
Ryan Reynolds is pretty much dead on awesome as Wade. THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE OF HIM. Hell, I would've taken two hours of Victor and Wade killerating and causing havoc together, with Wade snarking and Victor literally ripping him a new one, but Wade heals, so the merry cycle continues. Yes, I realize how psycho that makes me sound, but c'mon. Like you wouldn't pay $10 to see that.
With that said, I'm with everybody else on the YARGH ATROCITY that is Deadpool. Meh. They better fix this shit. I want me a Deadpool movie.
What also isn't awesome? Gambit. I like the glowing eyes. I like the presentation of his power. But Taylor Kitsch falls massively short. If you can't do the accent -- and I realize it's a difficult one to do, like Irish accents -- don't bother. I had really really low expectations, too. But the actor wasn't all that good, and the writing sucked for him, so it was a double strike. I honestly would rather have no Gambit at all. Or just the nightclub bits. I like the nightclub scene. But from alley onwards? No.
I hate the commercials, btw. Because they pretty much gave away all the good bits with the side characters. I really wish they hadn't given away that Scott Summers was gonna show up. It would've been a delightful surprise instead of a, "um, that's it? yeah? I saw that in the commercial already."
Other things:
- ELEVATOR MUSIC IS NEVER NOT FUNNY.
- LOL the building in the beginning of the movie where the team breaks into? Buchanan Building on UBC campus. APPARENTLY IT'S IN LAGOS NOW.
- dear screen writers: you are henceforth permitted to have only ONE howling at the sky NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO moment per movie. Even one is stretching it.
- HEY HAVE I MENTIONED THAT LIEV IS REALLY REALLY HOT IN THIS MOVIE?
In conclusion: F:LSJFLSJ:LKSFSD LIEV
