Wolverine
So I saw the Wolverine movie. Supposedly. I saw it as a matinee. I would not have felt cheated seeing it full price. Overall it was a good movie. Fans of the X-men movies should definitely go see it.
Its no Iron Man but it was way better than X-Men 3.
And if you want, you might consider staying after the credits.
So wow. Which ending did you see? Supposedly there are 2 or 3 out there. Mine wasn't too bad. It had one plot-hole that really isn't that much of a plot hole. In my ending Striker shoots Wolverine in the head several times but then Ema Frost's Sister/Wolverine's Girlfriend tells him to go takea walk. So Striker walks. Credits roll. Credits stop. Striker is picked up by the US military for shady dealings.
In one prior scene, they show Stryker's son on ice (the kid with the weird eyes). Which means he was at the island. So at some point Stryker would have to go back to collect him. I like I said, not a big plot hole but something of one. Also at some point, Sabertooth is gana have to be mentally fucked over too in order to jive with the first x-men movie, because Sabertooth didn't really show any recognition there (and was far more animalistic).
Overall they kept very close to the wolverine origin story. All of them. Yeah. This was probably the best summary of wolverine's origin I've ever seen.
Plus the movie had two teleporters. How cool is that? I love teleporters!
Really the movie could be called X-Men: Origins: Dead Pool. It'll be interesting to see what they do with that. I was worried they wouldn't do him well, and they definitely do. They were also very true to Gambit which I liked.
All the mutant characters seemed a little over the top, if you didn't notice. Zero jumping to a too far away helocopter. And gambit running along walls. Broke disbelief for me a little here and there but nothing to make me intensely dislike the movie.
Nothing like Magneto telling Mystique where to shove it because she was human.
Again not enough blood. Too many times people get stabbed and I expect to see blood and there isn't. Then there are times when people get stabbed, and they're all bloody. WTF? At least like... show the characters flicking the blades so that I can pretend they can just make all the blood fly away.
And what was with some of those viz shots? Wolverine's claws in the bathroom just looked WAY too shiny and not reflective enough. I guess I'm supposed to write it off as 'well they're brand new'. And what was with Remmy attacking Wolverines and Sabertooth while they were killing each other? I mean I understand Remmy holding a grudge but he knew Sabertooth... why'd he attack Wolverine and let him go? Seems just odd.
I'm complaining a lot but there was a lot of movie I liked.
Did anybody spot a Stan Lee cameo? I didn't. :(
