This is off the topic somewhat but when people go to buy wolverine on the blu ray or dvd which ending are you getting or does it matter??

You guys are all f****** wrong. This movie wasn't Ang Lee Hulk bad, but this "Wolverine" movie is bad. No R rating, Sabretooth and wolverine brothers, Come ON!!!! Ryan Reynolds not enough airtime, Weapon XI Gay, special effects sucked, Cyclops gambit and emma frost had no point in this movie, and that deadpool ending was predictable because you cant kill Wolverine sabretooth or deadpool except with that weapon crafted from Adumantium and what the f*** is an adumantium bullet. They couldn't find a better way to explain wolverine losing his memory. The plot was predictable, the characters weren't enticing, liev schriber was bad as sabretooth, it WAS as bad as X-men 3. Blob and Wraith, GAY!!!! GAMBIT loses his accent by the end of the movie. Overall this movie is a 2 out of 10 and thats being nice.

I thought These guys were way off. They don't even know how wolverine lost his memories.Weapon X erased his memory and implanted false memories. I consider my self to knmow wolverines past very well, and I still didnt mind the differences in the movie. Sarbetooth being Logans brother actually is cool story line, it makes it more interesting. I thought the adamantium bullet was a good idea. Too things made of the same thing can scratch each other, so an adamantium bullet would make a dent,and dents in a skull are known to cause memory loss

It seems the bootleg was still just as good to watch as the theater. I am curious... So this guy knew shooting the bullet would make him forget?? Like he has experimented before with this?? I thought that was weak. They could have done better.

sketchmasterskillz - 5/2/2009, 11:27 PM
I only saw the bootleg, didnt mind sabretooth and wolvie as bros. but as a movie period (not comic book movie, just a movie) it wasn't good. i liked x3 more than this. that bein said i didnt see it in theaters so i will wait til they show it on tv to formulate my final opinion but i still think i wont like it. and i'm not even a hardcore wolvie or deadpool fan.

loganaspatch - 5/2/2009, 11:32 PM
lowflames the point they were trying to make is instead of the dumb ass bullet idea maybe wolverine could have fell and bumped his head and lost his memory, i think these 2 guys know how the memory loss happened that lil janky set is filled with wolverine comics.. yay! i have that issue they panned in on :)

the bullet idea was dumb .

I enjoyed the movie. I would give it a C. Very cool fun flick. I just can't compare it to the comics b/c these are different universes. I didn't mind the Adamantium bullets, and I love that Logan and Creed were half brothers. Deadpool as Weopon XI was better then I thought it was going to be, but I would've preferred it not to be Deadpool. I like how this movie sets up X-men origins First class. Gambit was cool it's just a shame that Sawyer from Lost is too old to play him. I don't mind the lack of accent. FUN movie. Better then any Jason Statham movie.(excluding the Guy Ritchie ones)

Gambit was awful in this film...

-No cajun accent
-didn't look like him
-no french catch phrases
-uses his cards once, doesn't carry them as a weapon
-jumps 50 feet in the air with horrible CGI
-comes off as cocky southern kid

complete waste of one of the most popular X-characters ever

The movie was good if you dont know anything about Wolverine or the Marvel universe.

JMAN!!!! JOHNNY LOVE!!! Nice to see ya!!! Thats cool your doing a YOU TUBE about WOLVIE oh 'n' STAR TREK next week!!! You guys doing one every week???? Anyway good on ya!!! Who's who by the way lol????? @ IKEULA75 @ is right, the movie was good if you don't know anything about the MARVEL UNIVERSE or WOLVERINE!!! I don't think we should make excuses,
anymore with films like this,,, come on, we've seen stuff like WATCHMEN, TDK, IRON MAN etc etc that's UP'ED the Anti on these movies, why make excuses, it was dire as a comic book movie!!! WOLVERINE's like LOTRs to some people! Do you think KEVIN JACKSON wouldn't get flack if he done his own spin on LOLRs, hell yeah, what about if we just REBOOT the STAR WARS Universe too!!!! Seriously, i was expecting DARTH VADER to be LOGAN's and CREED's FATHER!!!! Lmao! I wont go there with WEAPON ( Ive been thought up by a 5 year old lol). As far as i go with that it some kinda clone, an we get a real DEADPOOL with Red an Black Spandex in his own movie, hopefully with a BULLSEYE appearance! ; ) ... Did you even know this movie was gonna happen way before the X-MEN came out but years went by and they went with X-MEN as Special effects became cheaper!!! Talking special effects did we need all of it, how about less special effects more story!!! THE FILM SEEMED REALLY RUSHED FROM START TO FINISH! I reckon everyone of us could've done a better WOLVERINE movie!!! Okay better stop coz ppl tend to not read if its too long! Heh heh : D
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/3/2009, 2:50 AM
Opps its too long! : D ... Come on guys click THE THUMBS UP for JMAN & JOHNNY!!! I think its really cool what they are doing!!! :thumbs

CHAS65 - 5/3/2009, 3:12 AM
I agree with DABOYHARM, it is a badly made movie and is even getting bad press reviews over here in the U.K. I just can't help feeling that some people are being too kind towards the film, maybe because it's Hugh Jackman playing a popular comic strip character or what I don't know. All I know is that if we as fans of comic books/Graphic Novels and even the ordinary man and woman off the street with even a passing interest in comic book adaptions, is unable to speak the truth when it comes to the quality of these types of films, then get ready for an onslaught of poorly made superhero films in the future.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/3/2009, 3:50 AM
Exactly CHAS65 @ If people bend over for this, there will be a ONSLAUGHT of poorly made comicbook movies made!!! WATCHMEN, TDK, IRON MAN etc, have raised the bar!!!
CHAS65
CHAS65 - 5/3/2009, 4:16 AM
How many bad movies do we need to put up with until we get the gems LEEEE777? Bottom line is is that these movies are the exceptional few that manage to break thru as examples of good film making Story, Plot, Acting,Direction,etc. I think that there have been more bad Comic book adaptions over the years than good ones. In the end even the good ones won't be able to prop up the bad ones for long.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/3/2009, 4:39 AM
Yep CHAS65 @ I couldn't of put it better myself, :thumbs! The more poor comicbook movies that come out, the more chances it will kill off the comicbook movie an we'll all be back to waiting every 3 years for a BAT movie to come out! ; )
GUNSMITH
GUNSMITH - 5/3/2009, 5:12 AM
OF COURSE FANBOYS WILL HATE IT, WE KNOW THE BOOKS,MOVIES ARE GOOD IDEA LEACHES MAINLY MAKING MONEY ON VISUAL EYECANDY AND MONEY MAKING, IT WASNT A HORRIBLE MOVIE, I LIKED IT..THAT IT EVEN GOT MADE WAS COOL..THIS OPENS THE DOOR TO A SEQUEL AND MAYBE ANOTHER DIRECTOR WITH A DIFFERENT TAKE IF NOT EVEN CLOSER AND DARKER ..I WONDER IF PROYAS WOULD DO WOLVERINE..HE DID A AWSOME JOB WITH THE CROW
GUNSMITH
GUNSMITH - 5/3/2009, 5:31 AM
YEA, YOU KNOW IF ADAMATIUM IS INDESTRUCTABLE WOULDNT TWO LIKE METALS BOUNCE OFF EACH OTHER? IONO...IONO..

Yeah, thats what bothered mr most, how did those nails stay on! Are u serious grifster?

Nice review guys, pretty much agree on everything, although an overall B rating might be a bit generous, id say C..nice Shat impression!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/3/2009, 6:06 AM
Just imagine if they made this a A Grade movie!!! We would all be alot happier! Oh well....
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/3/2009, 6:34 AM
Just about on par with X2???? Better than X-men???? LMFAO! It was a good Action movie, that's about it! Plot 7 out of 10???? Well like i said, i just hope it makes lots of money an we can get a good DEADPOOL movie, even a good WOLVIE 2 outta it! ; )
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 5/3/2009, 8:00 AM
I thought it better than X Men 1..easily in fact! Go watch that movie again and i guarantee you will be surprised by how mediocre it actually is. Everyone was so exited to finally see the characters onscreen that they forgot all about the crapness of certain bits. There is dialogue in that movie that makes Wolverine seem like Shakespear..and the whole ending on the statue of Liberty was worse than the 3 mile island ending in Wolverine too. X2 is much better obviously, but thats one of my fave movies full stop!
daboyharm
daboyharm - 5/3/2009, 8:50 AM
the problem is wolverine is the most popular x-men by far. If not for spiderman he might be the most popular marvel character and they messed it up completely. wolverine is maybe the most violent of any marvel character other then Frank Castle, they made him too soft. Is there any doubt to why these "marvel" movies made by other production companies suck? Its because they change things to make it more movie friendly, or so they say. Why do you think IronMan was so good, Marvel studios did it and the only thing changed was Jarvis isnt a butler hes a computer that controls everything, but we can live with that, we cannot live with Wolverine and sabretooth as brothers, or Galactis as a cloud or Sandman killing uncle Ben. Marvel needs to buy back these liscences and do these movies the right way or we will see more shit spinoff movies.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 5/3/2009, 9:39 AM
I like X-MEN 1 alot an WOLVERINE ain't touching it by a mile!!! If it wasn't for that movie and Singer, we wouldn't have half the movie's today including ofcourse WOLVERINE lol! An don't MARVEL have a say about stuff like WARZONE and WOLVERINE??? Don't they have to approve everything? Its a real damn shame too as WOLVERINE and PUNISHER are both in my top 10 comicbook characters! Shame. I say role on IRON MAN II and GREEN LANTERN!!!

I really liked the movie, I agree Ryan Reynolds did not have enough airtime, I have been wanting more and more of deadpool the whole time. I really liked how they call him deadpool in the flick. I know that it wasnt exactly like the comicbooks but I mean they did what they did to appeal to a bigger crowd. I was so excited when I saw professor Xavier at the end I could sense that coming when I heard the voices inside Cyclops' head...It had its up and downs like all movies do...I fel in love with Ryan Reynolds as deadpool the moment I heard he was cast...I loved him in Blade Trinity and like the smartass he was as Deadpool...Gambit I do not know much about his character but you people have to realize that it wasn't Cyclops' origin story or any other mutants it was Wolverine's so its not about them if saw the cast today i would tell them keep up the good work and Hugh, you are Wolverine and Logan is your real name... 9.7 out of 10!!!

I gave it a 5/10. I left the theatre thinking, eh that was ok.

As usual i felt they were trying to pack as much as they could into these movies without carefully picking and choosing what would actually be great for the movie.
Besides having some of the worst cgi I've seen in a while, it was rushed, many parts left you thinking why? and it just felt incredibly convenient.

5/10. I wont go see it again or rent it when it comes out on dvd

Nice review. I definitely wish they'd stuck to the comic stories more closely. If they had, the movie could have been on par with TDK. I didn't mind the adamantium bullet bit, but I *WISH* they'd stuck w/ how he lost his memories in BWS' Weapon X. I'd also have liked to see a more brutal Wolverine. But I told myself, when I first saw a version of the script online, that I'd have to take the on-screen Wolverine as a separate continuity.

Oh- I have all those comics you've got displayed!! Love that one on top, after Wolvie's claws got broken by Cyber

Just watched the review above again and i noticed they mentioned Stryker from the first xmen movies. That guy is a genius of a character actor! Bryan Cox, IMDB him. He's been everything from braveheart to supertroopers. He's kinda like gary oldman, they fit into character so well sometimes you cant see who they are until halfway through the movie.
