X Men Origins: Wolverine is actually good

[Wilmer Digreux]

it's always remembered for the way they handled deadpool and for the bad cgi claws....but outside of that it's really pretty good and it's a fun flick. And Will I am gets a lot of flack for his performance but I really don't see what the problem is. I thought he was very good for a non actor.

Am I wrong?

That's always on my list of "movies people hate and you like".

The continuity was all screwed up, but the film was enjoyable. I'm a simple guy... if I liked the movie I think it was good. It's that simple.

It's an ok movie if you turn it off before the ending fight and pretend every thing after that never happened.

I have and enjoy the entire trilogy. It just rates 3rd with me behind the other 2. Still enjoy it though.

Unusual for a trilogy, each one keeps getting better.

 

[Bob Gray]

I do not agree with your analysis.

Never thought of it that way but you’re right the movies just keep getting better.

Never thought about that before but yeah you're right. Not sure I can name another trilogy that does that.


Edit: I didn't see the post above mine and they're nearly identical. Weird.

I’m not sure I’d go so far as to say it’s “good” but it has some really good parts to it.

1. Liev Schreiber gave a great performance.

2. The historical wars montage at the beginning was one of the best scenes from the entire X-Men series.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Decent first half, abysmal second.

I liked it better than most comic book movies. I didn't have any investment in Deadpool or any of what they did to him. The story of Wolverine and his brother as well as Wolverine and the love interest were both pretty effective.

has alot of rewatachable standlone scenes

the weapon x scene is great, as is the helicopter chase, the bar fight, etc

not a great film but a fun at times film

 

[LEWIS540]

It's pretty average, but don't really get why it got shat on so much.

As far as superhero films go it's pretty close to the middle for me.

Saying that, the best scene is the opening credits, which is a bit damning.

Crazy that it's based on a true story.

I love watching the Hugely Jacked Man play Wolverine. He's as perfect in the role as RDJ was as Tony Stark. But the War Montage was pretty much the only redeeming feature of that movie.

ETA: that was too harsh. Schreiber was fucking awesome as Sabretooth. He really nailed the character's sadism and twisted big brother instinct towards Logan,

"Nobody kills you but me!"

Everything is based on true events if you think of it.... There is a man , a woman ... and some stuff happens.

Gambit was always my favorite growing up and I loved Friday Night Lights at the time so I thought Riggins as Gambit was going to be perfect. Then they give him 3 lines and have him get his ass kicked by Wolverine. Even in his brief two scenes, he was a terrible Gambit



"I'm gonna cut your goddamn head off, see if that works." is one of the best lines Wolverine ever had though

 

[tobiaswins]

I’m glad you enjoyed it, I hated it though.
Bad Cgi, didn’t like the Story or writing. The Deadpool atrocity was practically unforgivable. Decent acting though. But that’s me and I know people enjoyed it and that’s cool, it’s just not for me.

I thought dudebro that played gambit was very good too. The guy from Battleship.

And the blob guy (Keamy from LOST). Also Dominic Monahan was good.

I liked his scenes and thought he was good. But I don't know anything about the character, so maybe that's a factor.
