[...] to be good friends. This bodes well for a franchise that even though did well commercially, was widely panned by the critics. The ‘origin’ story of Wolverine is a much darker tale, one that encompasses family [...]

Great movie if you dont know much about the “real” xmen history and storyline. It is without a doubt supercool and has plenty of badass action sequences along with some “science” thrown in to make it all come together.

I read up a little on the history of the x-men via wikipedia after seeing this movie, and Im sure to hardcore fans the movie was irritating.

I liked the movie, but i thought the part where he cuts down the fire escape was a little corny. But it was still good

To all those who keep commenting on Ryan Reynolds playing Wade Wilson and then weapon XI, he DID NOT play weapon XI in this movie. It was played by Scott Adkins.

not surprisingly, i found myself wanting more of Ryan Reynolds being himself… his presence in any movie makes it automatically funnier / more entertaining

@Andy S
I think it is a definite that a sequel will happen, especially after one of the special endings and the stellar gross.

Ok, I realize that this is a little late, but I FINALLY saw Wolverine today and I absolutely loved it. I give it a 4 out of 5. I thought Jackman was, again, awesome as Wolverine. I thought they did a great job of keeping the movie within the continuity of the films (not the comics). There were a couple of over-the-top scenes (the aforementioned gun reload-then again, that might be his mutant ability-manipulating firearms?), but I really enjoyed this movie and I thought the action sequences were fantastic.

Now bear in mind I am NOT a reader of the X-men comics, so I don’t know everything there is to know about the characters as some on this board do. However, I think they did a pretty good job of explaining why Wolverine doesn’t remember Scott or any of the other mutants.

I enjoyed it so much, I might end up seeing it again next week during a matinee. I will definitely be buying the DVD (or Blu-Ray if I have a player by then). I’m just hoping for a Wolverine II….

I liked Tropic Thunder while I don’t agree that it’s a 5/5 I do agree that it did what it set out to do a lot better than Wolverine did what he was suppose to. I think the film was ok it was entertaining enough, but lets face it the movie couldn’t even keep continuity of it’s on film franchise. I’ll forget how it related to the comics and talk about what should bother everyone. The CGI had a lot of bad moments. The changes to claws look awful. The previous x films did a much better job at the animantium bonding scenes than the origins movie did.The narrative had a lot of issues as did the plot. There was to much happening that it never really stopped to tell a story. One of my biggest issues is that it had to many plot holes. Normally I hate that term because usually I consider plot holes to mean the person watching it wasn’t paying attention. The majority of plot holes usually aren’t really there it’s just the viewer not understanding what happened. However Wolverine has real actual plot holes. Complete lacks in logic. Most focusing around the fake death of Silver fox and the magic bullet.

I, too, enjoyed Tropic Thunder. I wouldn’t give it 5/5 but a definite 4/5. Robert Downey Jr. is just amazing.

What can I say? I thought Tropic Thunder was hysterically funny and did what it set out to do. This film did have problems, but I enjoyed it as a popcorn flick.

I thought it was great, IMO better than all three Xmen movies (garbage) put together… I agree they changed some things, like deadpool, but what they did change worked and i throughly enjoyed it…

I’m shocked at your 3/5 review, considering you gave films like tropic thunder a 5/5….

Well I did say “one of.”

I guess I should have said “mainstream” or “well known.”

Sorry guys for another post just noticed the talking about Equilibrium had to say I loved that movie. I loved the idea behind it. The action was fairly cool and I really liked the idea. Good story though at times it started to feel like a B movie. I think with a better budget and a little more attention to detail that movie could of been huge and amazing. A good film that had so much potential.

My dislike for the orignial doesn’t have much to do with the bad special effects or sets that’s to be expected from it’s budget and time period. I hated the corny stories and ridiculous plot points. I also think that Will Shatnar is the worst actor to make it to the mainstream in the last 50 years. I think that Paris Hilton has more talent and I’m not exaggerating I truly believe that. I never liked the 60′s Batman show or the Original Star Trek for pretty much the exact same reasons. They were very cheesy and riddled with bad acting. TNG had the most amazing cast and took it’s self seriously it wasn’t just a big joke. I loved that.

JC in Chicago See I’ve seen more things from JJ and haven’t liked any of it. I mean I can’t think of many popular TV shows that I hate more than lost. It’s one ridiculous plot device after another. The show started with a semi interesting idea a dramatized version of Gilligans island and they turned it in to this weird show lacking anything similar to logic that takes 4 years to explain even the smallest of plot points. Cloverfield was horrible as well the acting was the only strong point in that movie. The big reveal of the monster was disappointing. I was so hyped for that film and let down in a big way. The monster could of at least looked semi cool. Then there was all those over grown spider monkeys and it was just bad. I think there was about 5 min in the film that I wasn’t rolling my eyes. I thought Fringe was promising and I enjoyed it for about 4 episodes and lost all interest. Joshua Jackson was the only thing good about that show after awhile and I really couldn’t care about the main chick at all. Don’t even get me started on Felicity. Alias was just a typical “Lets make a bad ass female character” story. Get an attractive girl and make her kick ass. I never understood the popularity of that genre (for lack of a better term). I will admit I kind of liked Joy Ride.
