First off the wolverine movie is leaked, and many many movies are leaked before they come out on watch-movies-links.com Secondly Dead-pool the character is completely ruined, what they turned the character into is a horror show and disgrace to anyone who is loyal to the comic books the story, for dead-pool, at least is completely backwards and skewed in the new wolverine movie. Obviously the focus is on wolverine but im sick of hollywood taking one story out of a story line and then creating something totally different out of it. The movie despite it's "comic book story line" flaws is bad-ass as hell and totally amazing, even though wolverine has become something he never originally was and has been whored out solely so marvel can stark making money again. They are willing to completely forget the sacred history that they themselves have written, wolverine was never more than a side character in X-men, he was a guy that would show up every once in a while and have a little to do to advance the plot then he would leave to figure out a lead that had to do with his past. He has become my least favorite marvel character because of this. But looking past this major blemish on marvel i saw the movie, and i was surprised at how tasteful it was done. Originally comic book movies got popular because of the underlying tones of comic book campy-ness like the x-men and the leather but brought it to life with the serious undertones and story lines that even if they weren't completely accurate were acceptable, its a movie and for them to resemble the comic books exactly would be unrealistic. Back to my point the movie was awesome up until the last ten minuets where it seems the writers we just tired and said "oh [frick] it" lets just write what-ever for the ending. Dead-pool which character is well written and represented is turned into this monstrosity that barely resembles him in the slightest and completely ruins any chance for a spin off that doesn't completely ruin everything a fanboy would want. Even not in terms of dead-pool the ending and how wolverine lost his memories does not make sense, it completely conflicts with the x-men movies, and while this is a completely different movie its time for marvel to start actually giving a shit about the time line and happenings of this "film world they are creating". if he lost his memory running around the whole [frick]ing time with these other mutants that are very prevalent in the x-men movies and comic book why dont they say "hey wolverine i know your [frick]ing passed remember when you tracked me down at a school and saved me at this island where they are experiment on me or hey do you remember that one time i killed your [frick]ing girlfriend or drove you in a [frick]ing plane to an island to kill people, or hey we used to kill peeps back in the day for some douche, yeah there was a whole group of us. I know i am ranting but i am sick in tired of the stories and the characters i have grown up with and loved turned into these corporate whores that barely resemble their former true selves so hollywood [frick]ing trash can make a quick buck off of a fad that means more to me than those actors will ever know. I enjoyed seeing a movie that brought these awesome characters together in one movie but how they ended it not only ruined years of comic book lore but even recent marvel movie lore and if i ever meet the writers who just obviously gave up on the ending i would kick them in the balls for pissing me off bad enough to write you this ridiculously long email.

I couldn't DISAGREE more! This is gettin outta hand people. I am a huge comic book fan. HUGE! Been-to-Dragon-con-multiple-times-and-they-know-me-by-name-at-the-comic-book-store huge. And i don't have a problem with what they've done with the X-Men set of movies. Was 3 a bad movie - yeah, but i still bought the DVD cuz its the FREAKIN X-MEN!

Look, this is hollywood, not the comic book world, and a lot gets changed anytime it gets to hollywood. When they do biopic lifestories of real people they always change some facts and events to make it more cinematic. When they convert books to movies stuff is always changed (Harry Potter, Twilight, freakin DaVinci Code people?!?!?). A lotta stuff does not translate to the big screen. They have to make the movies for the masses, not for us. If the movie doesnt make millions they can't afford to make more of them. DUH! So they make a movie that everyone will go see, not just us. We're goin to see it anyway! The DVD commentary is for us. You know what else is? Those straight to DVD animated movies. You're complainin about this but did you rave about Hulk vs. Wolverine where they even got his original costume right? .... NO! Nobody really praised it for stayin true to the comics. You just wanna complain. If the movie versions of the x-men were so bad why would Marvel then take Stryker's character and then put him in the comics!?!?!? Cuz it was a good character! DUH! What about X-23? She started on x-men evolution and they said "what a great character - wolvie's daughter!" If they hadn't taken creative license with these characters the comics wouldn't be as good now! Give them a break. OK they didnt make Deadpool exactly as he is in the comic but they made a good movie. I watched the leaked version and i'll still go see the theater version and buy the DVD!

1. Marvel did not make this.
2. They said the bonding process did not coomplete on Pool, so he can come back
3. The only two mutant's Wolverine met in this movie that he meets in the comics is Sabertooth and Cyclops. Sabertooth may not say anything to torture Wolverine by watching him go without his memories. And Cyclops was blind folded the wholetime, so he did not see Logan, which eans he would not recognize him.

4. As to Wolverine losing his memories from being shot in the head. The velocity from the bullet striking someone in the head would be enough to cause memory loss. And he was shot in the head at least twice.

Anybody that would use the phrase "sacred history" in a "review" of a comic book movie is a nutcase.

You need to see a doctor about getting on some serious medication. I mean it. You're way too upset about this. Maybe you should start making your own movies.

ok, cage and thehawk to debate your arguements about the freakin magic bullet and things being switched in the movie so they are more appealing to everyone.

WHAT COULD BE SO WRONG WITH HAVING WOLVERINE LOSE HIS MEMORY DURING THE ADAMANTUM PROCESS?

i feel people that did not know this would have accepted this much more then a freaking dumb ass bullet .. they showed wolverine blocking optic beam blast he couldnt stoop a freakin bullet with those claws?

I disliked the movie but for the exact opposite reasons. I thought the entire movie was a disappointment except for Weapon XI - he was interesting. I watched the leaked movie and just watched X2. Its sad on Wolverine's own movie the action his character is involved with isn't as good as they were in X2. His character is also darker and ruder in X2. I do agree with you about Wolverine on the memory front and mixing in all these X-Men characters that make the storylines from all the various movies conflict.

I was pretty disppointed, these are the best comic book characters in existence, they should be able to do some pretty good movies but I don't think this movie competes to the likes of even Watchmen or IronMan. I thought they took on these individual background movies to simplify things and to develop the characters. Why include Gambit or Cyclops or Prof. X, was it really necessisary? Keeping the girlfriend character till the end of the movie, necessisary? Not really. I would have liked a darker, deeper, more vicious Wolverine. He was Mr. Nice Guy and Mr. Morality all movie long.

Im going to say this the Leaked version is Incomplete go see it when it comes out. I won't say what happens and spoil it like many other have but I will say the leaked version still shows Story boarded scenes (Mostly involving Aircraft or fights,) Wires in scenes where people are flying through the Air, Mats when they Land after being tossed, and occassionally Lines appear on the Screne.. My advice wait till May when the Movie comes out and go see it...

Except for the incomplete effects, imo the leaked version is the final cut. I dont think they have anything to add. Seems like if there was more movie to add, some of the story wouldnt make sense. There are no holes in the story. There is even stuff after the credits. If they werent finished, why would they take time to place something after the credits?

Are these supposed fourteen minutes all after the story wraps up? I think the movie was leaked in its complete form sans beauty pass rendering. If thats the case its another mediocre marvel movie.
