Honestly after X-Men Last Stand and its horrible storyline especially regarding Jean/Phoenix, I haven’t been looking forward to Wolverine. I’ve never been a fan of Hugh Jackman as wolverine, I think they could’ve found a better person to play him. I am looking forward t magneto’s movie.

there is nothing light about wolverine. the character can become a raging animal when he wants to, and if he has to. even when he is in a good mood, wolvie is still rough.

rothman needs to take a look at the batman flick which just came out. the reason why that movie is ranked number 2 as the biggest grossing movie on the planet is because they made that flick into a darker tone–more serious–leave the kids at home–type flick.

all directors need to take a look at the bat flick and study it, in order to come to the conclusion that just because the story is about a comic book superhero that doesn’t mean that they have to make it for 10 year old kids.

The Fantastic 4 films were all classic examples as to what happens when you make these types of movies appealing for children–they bomb. About the batman flick, one critic was telling the parents that they should leave their kids at home. fact of the matter is this, it is not toddlers or even teenagers that generate money into marvel and DC, but fans that have been around for decades. when will these filmmakers and studio heads realize this?

Honestly, i think the guys that made all 3 x-movies, superman returns, both ff movies, and other comic book flicks that didn’t even come near the box office take that bat’s took, are all scratching their heads wondering just how did this batman movie become number 2 on the planet.

WOW I though fox read the comic books before they made a movie, boy are they dumbass. I don’t ever remeber there being a non Darkside to Wolverine, Hell isn’t Wolverine just has Dark Has the Punisher Witch was Rated R. Isn’t wolverine that dark and Badass, and Cussing and pissed off. how can you make a kids movie with a guy who just wants to cut some’s open? FOX couldn’t make a desent movie if it bit them in the ASS.
FOX SUCKS.

More on the Fox Studios nonsense, this time with Bablyon A.D., absolutely screwing the director over.

Fox Studios is at it again! Why are the executives at that company so out of touch with the industry and consumer-base.

that article talks about how the director of Babylon A.D. doesn’t like his own film and that Fox screwed him. Here we go again, its happening to Wolverine as we speak, and it happened to Joss Whedon’s Firefly

He, Jackman is listed as one of the producers for the film. Maybe somebody will ask him soon..

Rob and the rest of you guys, I totally agree with you. I cant’t wait to see the movie, I hope it will be better than all X-Men films, judging from the trailer it seems dark and moody and badass, exactly as everyone wishes for a Wolverine film. Reading words like ‘lighter colours’, ‘rated PG-13′ and all that stuff makes me feel so sad and dissapointed… Damn FOX will ruin the movie and neither Wolverine nor his fans deserve that. Please Fox, let Hood do his job right!!! The man knows what he does!!! F***K you and your money!!! Don’t you see you’ll make more with a somber, dark movie???!!! My hopes now rest on Hugh Jackman. I too want to see what HIS opinion is. I admire him a lot, he’s my favourite actor and I hope he won’t let me down… Hope that stupid Rothman will read these posts. OK, I know he won’t, but he should, really…

Maybe they should release 2 movies: Wolverine: The Lighter Side and Wolverine: Slicefest.

On a little different note. Post production is going on in New Orleans so maybe the story legitimately goes there, Gambits home turf.

I want to hear what Hugh Jackman thinks about the movie. Maybe it should be designed a little more with HIS interests in mind.

X3 wasn’t all that bad, but it could have been SO MUCH better. I’m getting tired of Rothman and is meddling in these films.

Lighter note???? Geez, obviously, he’s never read a wolvie rag.

Why is it so hard for movie companies to make a descent comic book movie? Iron Man was good and TDK was great, but I still felt the producers still held back.

If FOX screws this up, I will not only join the boycott, but will spread the word to all my non-geek friends who don’t read comics or websites to not support fox shows or movies.

Sorry Hugh, but as much as I’m drooling to see your pic, FOX will pay and unfortunately, you’re going to feel the backlash on this.

If they (fox)screw up Wolverine the way they did X3, I will scream!!! Let the director do what he needs to erase the painful memory of X3 from our minds. I have kids that love these movies, but they know whats real, whats not, and I’m a responsible enough parent to know what movies they should and should not be watching. It’s us adult fans that break out the cash to support the movies. We deserve to be happy with what we see!!

Good points Michael,,,!

Just a sec.
Let me break out my soap box,,, uhhemm

IMO/ ,,,
Its all about conditioning kids to accept violence.

FOX is a corrupt media outlet and that’s what they do. Its the same with all of um.

Putting soap box behind cash register,,,,,
yes can I help you ???

this movie deserves to be dark, just the thought of the weapon x project is dark. The problem is the parents, parents want to take their kids to the wolverine movie, it’s a kids movie, it’s a comic book movie, i don’t think people have realized that comics have been pointing to adults since the sixties.

Good point Dave, the film also contained scenes of corrupt police officers shooting down civilians, CEO’s blowing their heads off and large robots going after ppl.
I was rated PG, but would you take a kid to see that ????
I guess if you didn’t care or have no clue about what kids take away from films, Sure !

Remember that abomination that was Robocop 3?

from R to PG – he was friggin shooting guns out of people’s hands and shooting stuff so it would fall on people – rather than SHOOTING PEOPLE…….

I’m seriously confused these days at the films being toned down for kids, T4, TDK, “day the earth stood still”
(I’m surprised Street Kings wasn’t PG-13).

X-Men, and for that matter Wolverine are voilent films, and they would thrive as R rated films.
TDK would have been BETTER if it was R rated !!!

Let’s get real, Wolverine’s gonna cuss and kll ppl.
Why would any parent want a semi violent film to take their kids too ???
(Who are these parents?)
What’s with all the violent films catering to children. Double wtf/wtf ???

Rob, I’m with you on the hate-train to FOXville.
I’m really getting sick of this PG-13 reach-around tampering. :-/

Let the director shoot his cut !!!

One reworked set should not a drama make lol the director could make it look darker in post production or with lens filters etc anyway!
