yeah this was the worst movie i have seen in MONTHS. yeah you tell em foget

 :welp: welp i liked it!! thats because i like dicks in my ass


there is absolutely no reason to see this movie. it is completely awful. the acting was the worst. the writing was like a 12 year old or michael bay wrote it. it had really out of place toilet humor and terrible jokes. the special effects are like, wow. titanic looked better than this movie. there was at least 5-6 scenes where you could tell the characters were lazily superimposed and they didn't even bother putting in their shadows onto the scene.

it was a big ol poop on the face of the audience. do not see this movie it is poop.

he fought a dude called Blob in the middle of the movie and they played GROSS FAT GUY for laughs almost precisely like it was taken out of Epic Movie or something.

oh I thought you meant humor about toilets/using the toilet. nevermind.

like honestly x-men 3 took all of 6 months for you to be able to look back and be holy shit i cant believe this was made I CAN SEE THE WIRES.  you know when a movie that's less than a year old is already viewed in the same light as 30-year-old b-movies, prolly not gonna have such a great sequel

I never saw X-3. My roommate wanted to see this one so I went with him. I remembered thinking the first and second movies were alright, but it was so long ago that I saw them that I didn't really have a good frame of reference.

either way i wasn't expecting this movie to be a classic or anything; it just really BLEW MY MIND how bad it was.

what's not toilet humor, who are you talking to? this is toilet humor: (http://pub.gamingw.net/23836/The_Pope_is_Adored_as_an_Earthly_God.jpg)

I think I'm seeing it with my dad this weekend. I'm gonna see whether it's worse than transformers. don't ruin it for me.

edit: transformers being the worst movie I've paid to see so far
edit: I'm not choosing to go see it it's just something I guess we're gonna do. I don't really know why.

Dude the character's name is BLOB... what were you expecting? "heh heh, i know he is extremely obese, guys, but let's try to not call attention to that." -gavin hood

I guess if you don't know anything about xmen it's understandable, but dude it's also a superhero grade movie, and it absolutely wasn't so bad as you are saying unless you went in expecting some miracle of cinema. who goes to see an xmen movie on opening day that doesn't like xmen?

the CG was pretty bad, and a lot of the actors were bad, but at very least this movie is worth dvd rental price. and not that 1$ movie machine at walmart either, hollywood video or something.
it was better than X3 at very least, so i'm sure if anyone here is a fan of xmen, they will see it.

haha the CG of the metal claw coming out was a joke. I actually laughed out loud in the theatre at how bad it was. The film was a pretty average/mediocre super hero film. There was not much in it that made me scream out at how awful it was, unlike Watchmen on the other hand...

Post by: Artis Leon Ivey Jr on May 02, 2009, 12:15:36 pm
yeah this movie sucks man. the thing is i'm not sure you can be like PANDA I NEVER SAW X3 because when you saw the title of the movie is

XMEN: ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

you should have paused and been like how good can this possibly be.

like its a comic book spinoff for a single character, not even called XMEN WOLVERINE or something. should be a warning sign!
Title: do not go see x-men origins: wolverine
Post by: headphonics on May 02, 2009, 12:55:05 pm
x3 is probably one of the worst movies i've ever seen.  i'm not joking when i say that it'll be remembered as being really shockingly, appallingly bad.  just like "whoa how did this even get made".  in one scene it's in the middle of the day and then it's suddenly night time for no reason and youre just like aaaaaaaaaaa this is like the super mario bros. movie

anyway, I saw it last night!

I saw the work print but I went to see it with friends and I assumed hey the workprint must just have no cgi/bad cgi/will get better cgi, and it didnt happen :D nothing got better!

I actually enjoyed the workprint more! IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE IT WASNT FINISHED HAHA, then this movie was garbage, like, it was cool to see wolverine cut stuff in half a lot though  :fogetsmile:

Title: do not go see x-men origins: wolverine
Post by: pburn on May 02, 2009, 03:12:31 pm
saw the workrpint, don't give a fuck about special effects

story was fucking awful dude man like there is nothing really slavagable about it all the character motivations and relationships are fucked up, cheesy shit, crappy plot devices all over the place.

The story is like some 12 year old fan fiction

WOLVERINE GOES TO SEE THE BLOB HE FIGHTS HIM AND WINS AND HE TELLS HIM TO GO FIND GAMBIT AND GAMBIT SAYS NO AND WOLVERINE FIGHTS HIM AND WINS AND GAMBIT REALIZES WOLVERINE IS A GOOD GUY SO HE TAKES HIM TO THE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT etc etc

Yo FUCK X-Men Origins WOlverine, lots of people I know like it, and I don't see how the movie could be likable at all. Then again, they all dug Fast & Furious.

i do not understand your reasoning. it's totally worth spending money on, it's just the acting and the CG that are bad! what else is there? non-CG action sequences and... cinematography.. and music

maybe it's worth getting from the library. orrrr you could get a better movie that may actually be useful at all and that everyone won't forget about in a year

most people who watch things like this just cite "hey its mindless entertainment... why you gotta be such a pretentious dick about it" but if i paid to see this and those adamantium-enforced bone claws did not emerge realistically i would want my money back goddamn it

Remember when the first X-Men movie came out, and it was incredible?
Title: do not go see x-men origins: wolverine
Post by: Artis Leon Ivey Jr on May 02, 2009, 03:47:40 pm
you should look up what incredible means.

no really it doesn't mean good, it means UNBELIEVABLE as in actually unbelievable. but that's a semantic point thats completely outdated! and no I never thought W...WHOA. the fact that no one can write comic books or comic book movies well is a commentary on the incredible failure of people and yeah SPIDERMAN et al were not good movies that I would describe as amazing (the def we're using here).

did you really think X-Men was amazing? it was just a shitty little blockbuster man. just like the rest of the movies that come out in summer and get forgotten until you see it in the background at some kind of crappy party where more people are playing Tekken than drinking.

Post by: Artis Leon Ivey Jr on May 02, 2009, 03:48:45 pm
i'm only bringing this up because i've heard other people express similar points of view because of this movie: remember...how good the first two were...and no they were just MOVIES. they weren't BAD but even someone like me that didn't sperg out over Batman and Ironman can tell you they were much better!
Title: do not go see x-men origins: wolverine
Post by: xanque on May 02, 2009, 03:59:10 pm
X-Men was the first truly good comic book movie I had ever seen.  Maybe "incredible" is too strong a word, but it was still really good. 

Title: do not go see x-men origins: wolverine
Post by: headphonics on May 02, 2009, 11:05:46 pm
yeah i can't believe someone would say but remember how good the first two xmen movies were???  they weren't good at all!  they were just... not as atrocious as x3.  i remember both being kind of dumb but IN VARYING DEGREES.  i don't get why people rave about them or spiderman or anything really.  with the exception of spiderman 3 which really was awful, theyre all just completely mediocre and i guess that is enough to DAZZLE people.  whoa an unexceptional interpretation of a dumb comic .. . . s...sugoi...

just saw the new Xmen. it was okay. it was definitely better than the 3rd xmen movie, but thats honestly not saying much. i loled in the beginning when young wolverine yelled though, it was really funny. some of the special effects were a bit lame, like wolverines claws LOOKED REALLY FAKE in a few scenes. theres really no excuse for that in this day and age, tbh. people could do better jobs in fuckin photoshop.

Deadpool was really cool though. the secret ending i got was

copied from the other thread. youre dumb treg it wasnt that bad
Title: do not go see x-men origins: wolverine
Post by: Ryan on May 02, 2009, 11:13:22 pm
although i must admit, like the young wolverine yelling part, some parts did make me cringe/feel awkward because they were really poorly done. the entire fight with the Blob seemed really unnecessary, and was pretty much just a way to insert a FUNNY JOKE FIGHT SEQUENCE thing
Title: do not go see x-men origins: wolverine
Post by: pburn on May 02, 2009, 11:18:40 pm
I disagree with the idea that X3 is worse than Wolverine. X3 actually has a somewhat cohesive, interesting plot, with characters that are much more well written; Wolverine himself especially. X3 is actually about something, XOW is not. X3 actually runs on a story, it doesn't rely 100% on plot devices, character cameos, etc to move the story forward. Yeah, X3 sucks, but it does do some things right in terms of atmosphere, tone.... Wolverine just seems wrong all around.

My older sister wants to see this but I'd prefer to see Star Trek. Anyone who has seen both who can say which one is better? I'm probably going to end up seeing both anyway, but I really hope Star Trek is better since I'm more of a Trekkie than a comic book fan.

Star Trek is probably loads better, especially since I haven't heard a single person give the film a negative review at all.

I know X3 is really bad but I enjoyed it at the time because I saw it with my brother and his reactions to things are hilarious

I thought this movie might at least be better than X Men 3 because at least it's focusing on one dude where I remember X-Men 3 had just so many characters in bit parts like wait such-and-such was in the movie? (I don't really know any X-Men characters besides Wolverine actually and black weather lady) but like pretty much every X-person was in the movie even if only for 2 frames I could see where a just Wolverine movie would be ok compared to other x-men movies

the Star Trek movie looked weird like SPEED RACER 2 more than Star Trek but then again I think I only saw it flash on the screen for a second

i genuinely have no idea why people do not think this movie was as bad as i did. i am having a hard time finding anything redeeming about the movie at all. it was a train wreck.

whose idea was it to cast RYAN REYNOLDS in this movie as deadpool too? christ.

this pretty much sums up what the movie felt like to me. it really did feel like bad fanfiction. honestly, there was one good part of the movie and it was the wolverine fighting in every war sequence... but even that fell apart with the horrible writing when they got to vietnam!

the 'wake me when it's over' line was really good though.

because its directed by a guy whose work i like (jj abrams) and is apparently a 'reboot' of the franchise? it's not like transformers 2 where i can pretty much assume it will be terrible because the first one was, as is the director

odds are it will be mediocre or maybe even a little enjoyable! if it sucks i wont be too surprised but theres no real reason for me to spit at it and assume its going to be horrible when i really have no reason to think it will be

It's not entirely a reboot. Apparently they just modified continuity and found a loophole in a time travel storyline or w/e.

Fringe.

Also this X man movie looks dumb as all hell but star trek doesn't look too bad. I don't mind a dumb exhibition of special effects but only once in a while and I haven't watched anything like that in a long time.

av club also has a fervent american idol fanbase, interviewed a guy from the Big Bang Theory about aspergers, and blogged the entire season of the us version of LIFE ON MARS that no one watched or liked. like i like their site a lot and actually read the tv thing all the time but its run by different bloggers so it might not be a consensus.

there is a huge fanbase for Lost season 1 though and loads of people are like IT WAS GREAT TV so there's always that, but no one talks about it much now, probably because they never went anywhere or had anywhere to go and audiences wised up.

I'll be honest I actually sat down and devoted a bit of thought to the last BIG SUMMER MOVIE I enjoyed to cut off the people saying WELL YOU JUST HATE THOSE MOVIES HUH and realized other than movies like CRANK or whatever it's been a while.

idk the Incredibles? Ratatouille? those little shitty Pixar movies I would say are at times even good despite the fact I'm not a child or have a bone of whimsy. but honestly for something marketed to me what's a good one? I'm posing this to everyone, what's the last BIG BUDGET MOVIE aimed to our demographic you could honestly say you enjoyed in the past like four years as more than a brain shutoff?

there has to be something I'm forgetting here, is the thing. I know that's not the point of summer blockbusters but there's gotta be something!

Post by: jamie on May 03, 2009, 01:11:40 am
I was only being sarcastic cos Steel didn't mention the dark knight which I'm pretty sure he liked so I was underplaying the success of it. The Joker was good, yeah. I don't like comic books or comic book movies but I remember getting pretty riled up during the movie.

He's definitely the best thing in a superhero movie I've seen but he's contending with caked urine equivalents.

I really didn't like The Dark Knight all that much. Its far too long, the dialogue is fairly wooden, and Christian Bale's "batman voice" is just too much for me to tolerate without doing an over the top imitation to the person sitting next to me. On the topic of JJ Abrams, I liked Forever Young and Regarding Henry, and he wrote those. I liked Lost until last year and the whole time travel thing.

best comic to movie adaptation is the crow imo edit: maybe 300 but idk I cant remember them all this late

I saw The Dark Knight again the other day, for the second time ever (first time at theatres) and yeah I really like that movie. It was just very well put together, with an interesting crime drama storyline and some likeable and interesting characters. When I was a kid, SPIDERMAN was my favourite superhero and comic, but looking back, i really wish I had given Batman more though. He's kind of cool really. He's not superhuman in any way, his ability comes from his wealth and his intelligence and ingenuity, and his FORTE is crime solving, not just beating up radioactive supervillains. He's a detective as much as he is a superhero, and that's sort of where Nolan's Batman franchise stands out because Batman is allowed to play the part of detective. Maybe that's why Dark Knight is kind of cool? Like if you took out the whole Batman thing and just made him a cop or something, and toned down the Joker a little bit, it still might've actually been interesting.

Whatever, I'm just preaching to the choir since everyone enjoyed the movie.

on the batman thing I kind of rolled my eyes at how everyone was like FINALLY A MATURE BATMAN, as if this has ever been like a thing.

FINALLY...BATMAN FOR ADULTS *ignores the fact that batman is for manchildren even in the darkest comic*

what's kind of neat about Dark Knight is not only was that stupid thought process mostly gone, but it was actually a good movie in a lot of ways. like...I almost DONT WANT TO SAY THIS but it could have potentially been a non-comic book movie and been good. like if you made it instead of joker vs man in bat suit FILMNOIR people or just really anyone you would have a good movie anyways where it mattered. like oh no no gimmicky batman flying around shit but you'd still have a pretty decent film. there were clever scenes, a real plot, some ACTUAL EMOTION, and reiterating A REAL PLOT.

whereas you take ironman out of ironman you've just got a kind of dumb action movie at best.

I think that's why Dark Knight gets legit praise from people; it's NOT a "serious comic book", it's actually a pretty decent movie on its own. also not DESPITE being a comic book for the most part as it would significantly change the movie to remove it even though it could be removed.

basically while the level of nerd love for the movie is expectedly nauseating I was surprised by how not like the rest it was. I'm not sure how much longer you could stretch something like "really competent movie about this one character" over a continuous series or anything but that's my Dark Knight opinion! legitimately good movie not in spite of being a comic book or because of it but just because.

man i will admit this and shoot my rep to pieces but there's no way you are a bigger fan of the terminator movie series than i am and i actually like christian bale as well but MCG and the fact there is ZERO TIME TRAVEL/ACTUAL SHIT FROM TERMINATOR OTHER THAN ROBOTS means this is about as much a terminator movie as idk I AM.

ds if i blew up a robot would you say T5 HERE WE COME.

y2dazz's terminator script actually had more in terms of appealing to a terminator fan how did you get excited?

i am saying this because i remembered you are at least close to my age and horrible as this i thought...we'd all outgrown esplosion...

i mean it's lame but no one expected it and it was a nice freshman year reminder, and i actually have loads of memories tied in with terminator so i'm serious in that i doubt you could be a bigger WHOOOOA THIS IS MY MOVIE and not think "ugh a piece of shit action film" when you saw that trailer.

not saying they should be, just saying the ones I've enjoyed most so far have been. 300 was probably the best comic/graphic novel adaptation i have seen since the crow, in terms of capturing the aesthetic and narrative of its source with style and memorability. all the marvel-to-film attemps have just been eye-rollers, as far as I can think of (with the rare exception of Pyun's Captain America, which has some genuine charm in the bowells of its otherwise emetic quality, but that is mostly nostalgic charm by now, because it was like 20 years ago now so I guess it doesn't exactly fit in with this new breed of superhero flicks that started with the first spider-man.)

idk, i liked the crow more than any other superhero movie i've seen in the new wave, but then I enjoyed Starwars ep III more than most of them. Haven't seen Punisher: War-Zone yet but hoping it will be just some good old fashioned ultraviolence that fits the character persona more than the "superhero faces off against: bad guy with the same powers as him" template.

I haven't been a huge huge fan of these X-Men movies simply because they warp the story to whatever they need to just to squeeze in extra characters for fan service. It's not confusing for me, it's just a blatant waste. This one played that card a little less. There were a lot of characters, but not THAT MANY. So, it was cooler. Not overly fond of how they used Deadpool, but he was played well early in the movie.
Some scenes were melodramatic with Wolverine, but whatever. It was a dumb made-for-masses action flick with super powers. Plus the quote "I'm Canadian!" made it that much more pleasing.

I'd see it again. Probably on bluray, but still. I'd watch it again!

It was pretty bad but I mean what did you expect from a cash cow sequel.

There were a few parts that after watching the movie, made me laugh, like the fact that they never did explain why he took the name logan so everyone in the theatres probably was like, "how many names does this guy have agh!!!" Or the amazing cgi claws with the horribly off sound... Also what did they do to Dead Pool at the end they ruined him what was with the eye beams!!!

ps whoever said Ryan Renolds was awful I disagree with he made a perfect Dead Pool for the first 6 minutes of the movie.

there is something like this, art professor showed it to me so idk how well-known it is. the words flashed in different ways, sometimes it would spell out a word or sometimes they'd put a couple different words on the screen at once. it was kind of interesting at first because it made everything seem really important but it got real fuckin boring after like 5 minutes. it wasn't even a good story.

While it should have been titled weapon x since it had nothing to do with the x-men except for xavavier at the very end and no explanation to why gambit wasn't in the later films as far as movies go it was a good movie. If you seriously want to pick it apart i want you to tell me how you could do better. I'm sick of how people tear movies apart because of technical falacies. give it a break. its not reality. its a movie. appreciate it for what it is. Okay, i never did understand why sabretooth called him jimmy. or some of the other things people complained about but damnit lets see you try to convert a comic book series into a movie less than two hours long without pissing off somebody. people who ruin movies make me sick because all they do is complain without taking consideration to what it actually takes to make a movie, especially since so many people have the ability to easily pirate the movie these days. leaked screeners anyone? sure a movie shouldn't be overhyped to the point where its used to sell razors and im sure that sets the bar for lots of disspointment but for fucks sake, odds are it didn't cost you more than ten dollars. stop bitching. its quality work.

Well, X-Men 3 ended with the Phoenix Saga thingk... Wolverine has incredibly long life, they could do like a Sentinal story or something.

Anyone play the game: here's a code to get his comicbook (yellow) suit on PS3 (came with game purchase)
X, Square, O, Square, X, Triangle, X, Triangle, X Square, O, O, Square, R3
Enter it when you have control of Wolverine in game, then change his outfit in the menu.
Nothing special, just a suit. thought I'd share.

they aren't making an xmen 4 yet though, they're making an xmen origins wolverine 2 which is incredibly dumb because why would you make a sequel to an origin story when there already are 3 sequels to it

I wonder how the hell that works. Will it be about Wolverine's time on the Canadian government mutant team? If that's so, I'm all for it... though it is kind of moot. Who gives a crap what happens after his amnesia kicks in... It's basically all set up for him to meet Rogue in X-Men 1.

Buuut, I guess they could do things like explain Storm's origin or beast maybe. Who cares :gwa:
Gimme an excuse to play another Wolverine game. It's awesome.

I’m surprised to hear the video game is good since in my experience games based on movies are normally rushed to be released along side the movie and are usually beyond terrible.

well, there are a few level design choices (IE; the Weapon X facility) that make me think the game designers are fresh from school. However, the game doesn't really focus on the movie so much. It's more influenced by the movie, and maintains a few plot points. Pretty sweet wolverine game, regardless.

The best part of Wolverine is the BERSERKER BARRAGE (snikitty snikkity *links with hypercombo*).

I am debating as to whether or not to go see this film because a girl I know said she wants to see it and I told her I heard it was awful and she said, "It looks amazing," and she insinuated that she might want to see it with me, which of course means the prospect of smooches. What should I do? Is it really that bad?

I'd rather watch a move about the Grasshopper, who only gets like 3 minutes of screen time in the entire film, then dies.

I finally knuckled under and watched this. At first, I thought it was ok... that some of the vitriol towards it had to be misplaced. Sure, there should have been a piece of cake with pink frosting in that bar where Logan and Creed go knuckles to eyebrows for the first time... and they could have done the scene where Logan takes the cabin's door to make the grave marker for Silver Fox. Then again, unless someone was the right age in the 80's to have read the comics, that stuff could all easily be glossed over.

About the time Gambit showed up, the movie went straight down hill. The effects, the directing, and even the choreography went out the window at that point and never really recovered. The late movie rendition of was just silly.

I remember one of the special edition comic books, it had a yellow cover that was "slashed" through to reveal a collage of snapshots of Logan from various times and places. The story went on to detail things about Weapon-X and the brainwashing side of it, and it culminated in a battle with a self repairing cyborg/robot named Shiva - The Destroyer Program. (Which they used, albeit poorly, as the first boss in Adamantium Rage). If they had worked some of that into the plot, the movie could have had a substantial upswing. It would have been win-win... Logan could have had a knock down drag out to beat the band with a giant robot that he could hack into pieces. They could have displayed total unrepentant ferocity and still maintained their Pg-13 rating. And come on, "You can't kill me with memories!" being bellowed during the bi-secting of the enemy robot would have been a scene that easily topped anything in the film. (Yeah, I know, the Destroyer Program happens a couple decades after the Weapon-X stuff so it isn't technically part of the origin, but in a comic book movie "historical accuracy" is never that much of an issue anyway.)

I don't know, the first half of the movie was okay - but it felt like a chore getting through the rest of it. I must now bottle up that remnant of inner child who can still quote Wolverine history chapter and verse...

I like this movie a lit, even though the Gambit character sucked. They should release what happened to Cyclops after Last Stand though because I am 100% sure he didn't die in that movie (they never showed him dying and if Prfessor X didn't die I'll bet my car Cyclops didn't either.)

I know the actor said he won't do another xmen movie, but, Tobey Maguire said the same thing and apparently he wants to be in the next SP4...

How can you make a movie that consists of nothing but smoldering one liners.

What part of implanting katanas into somebody's arm sounds like a good idea.

...

I'd say this movie was bad but the problem here is that I didn't care enough to really pay attention to what was going on. It was like watching Journey to the Center of the Earth. I nothing it. The Nick Fury movie was bad. The Spirit was bad. Both Street Fighter where bad. Dragon Ball Evolution was bad. As for this movie... it's hard for me to say where I'd place it. It was so inconsequential all I am left with is wondering why it was even made.

No i'm talking about the super hero with a grasshopper suit that is an even bigger joke then Aqua Man.

I never understood how Aqua Man was a joke.

Do people not know what he is capable of?
