Hm... Wolverine Origins.... judging from the leaked news it seems that the movie will be based on Weapon X's storyline more than the official Wolverine: Origins storyline which featured the aristocratic Howlett family and the drunkard gardener Logan.

relationship? what relationship? the first movie portrayed Sabretooth as a 1-dimensional villain that didn't even have lines!!  doh.gif

plus the fact that Bryan Singer totally made Cyclops gay..  shakehead.gif

the parts that he did right though were Wolvie, Prof X, Mystique, Toad and the blackbird. hmm.. it seems there's more good points than bad. nvm then  laugh.gif

sweat.gif Agree totally about the part about gay-ifying Scott Summers. From a great Xmen leader to a sissy boy who got KO'ed from the early parts of every episode. doh.gif

I felt really disappointed in the Xmen series apart from their sleek outfits. It totally ruined what Xmen meant to me as they messed up almost all of the characters and made the important ones into side characters.

Sabretooth's role in Wolvie's history is pretty important as he is his main rival. I'm hoping to see how their friendship turned into dust in this installment of the Xmen franchise.

gambit will be in the wolverine movie!!  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif
finally...after waiting for him to appear in 3 movies..he will show up in wolverine movie. fanboys should be happy now  thumbup.gif

Seriously?

How is Gambit going to fit into the Weapon X storyline? I sure hope it's not a cameo just to satisfy the fanboys... I want full action Gambit with serious impact on the Xmen storyline, not pretty-yet-useless chap like how they did to Cyclops. doh.gif

Can't think of any actor which will suit Gambit... unsure.gif

yah, it's confirmed and here's the actor.

he may not be involved in the weapon x but i guess it may be a team up with wolverine after the weapon x to seek revenge. just hope he had the cajun accent and wears a trenchcoat. since this is a prequel to xmen movie, he may portray a young gambit. remember in the synopsis they mentioned that "Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe."

Pretty impressive... the second picture does resemble the comic book cover biggrin.gif

Just hope that he has red glowing pupils too biggrin.gif
The trenchcoat is a must, hopefully a black one too as the Xmen uniforms are all shiny black leather suits. I'd like him to ditch the goofy body armour too.

^ that is sweet news bro biggrin.gif

I wonder what's Cyclops is doing during those Weapon X years.

Most likely in the final parts of the movie where Logan meets up with the X-men... and maybe the earliest students of Prof X, such as Beast, Jean Grey, and Scott will show up as cameos.

Not that short lah, according to Marvel he is like 5'3"

For a caucasian dude, 5 foot 3 is pretty small sized. Even for Asians it's more towards the lower end.

Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine is pretty spot on, only that his voice is not scruffy enough. Maybe a growl like Bale's Batman, that'll be nice.

The purple shirt makes him look like the Joker sweat.gif

And where's the red eyes?

Nice pic though... not sure how Gambit's going to fit into Logan's story anyway, maybe just a short cameo.

WHOA... kickass sneak peek, and I'm pretty glad they added in the history of [s]Logan[s]James Howlett's childhood. That setting was very similar to the official Wolverine Origins although it was darker and gloomier in the comics.

I should have known better.

When Liev Schreiber comes out of the trailer and says something like 'Ooo, shiney!' *cheeky grin*, you know you're watching a 2 hour wrestling show because this is what the spot-fest (It's not a film, it's a spot fest) is. It's a piss poor attempt of a story which serves one purpose - to testosterone it up a few notches. It isn't pretty at all. With some of the worst CGI effects in a summer movie since Race to Witch Mountain [Wolverine in the mirror scene] and the lamest reaction scene [Wolverine walking away from a blown up helicopter], I thought it was impossible to do worse than X3 but they did it. They actually managed to do it.  notworthy.gif

Whether its source material or not, I cannot judge but with classics like Watchmen, Iron Man and Dark Knight, you thought that they had finally perfected the recipe for superhero movies by making us care for them, Wolverine proves that that isn't the case.

I await reviews from Makakeke and Quickfire.

EDIT: fix some punctuation and paragraphing.

In perspective, I liked Fast and Furious a lot more than I liked this. Jackman while a better actor and more charismatic than Vin Diesel, I cared more for Dom than Logan.

I couldn't agree more.

If X3 was horrible, this movie is even more appalling.

The opening was still acceptable as it followed the official Wolverine:Origins comic, but it went totally downhill from there. Although it still hangs loosely to the Wolverine stories that we know and love, the execution was dreadful. The action scenes were predictable, yet the attempts to be cheeky failed miserably. The final battle was like a computer game - the villain had godmode + clipping mode on, and the CGI was of low quality.

Ironman actually had similar problems - strip away the comedy and fancy special effects, it's just another superhero movie with a mediocre and predictable storyline. But the success of Ironman was that it kept viewers entertained and connected to Tony Stark's character development. Wolverine, on the other hand, did not.

Oh yeah... FnF... haven't watched that yet. Tokyo Drift was actually pretty enjoyable for me but 2F2F was boring with a capital B. Paul Walker only had one expression and that's it.

if gambit was already in his prime when scott summers was only a teen.. does this make gambit an old fart when cyclops was leading the x-men senior team?

LOL... never thought of it that way, but yeah that does seem true.

Gambit shouldn't even be in the show... He was just there as fanservice. He didn't have black eyeballs and only a split second of glowing red eyes. But he has the looks and accent though biggrin.gif

I'm jumping straight to Salvation, as long as Bale is in it, I'm salivating.

Both Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman were brilliant in The Prestige, but Wolverine Origins wasted Jackman's talent. Let's just hope that Bale doesn't suffer the fact as Hugh Jackman did.
