Cool. So it takes place after the XMen films? That's good. The last Wolverine film was one of the worst superhero movies ever made, so this doesn't have to do much to win me over.
Yeah it was one of those movies that you REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to like. But man, it actually made Wolverine look cheesy.
It takes place after the last X-men film which was pretty gawd awful too. James Mangold is a solid director so that give me a bit of hope.
Has potential. Origins was terrible. It's a shame that Jackman's Wolverine performances havent been taken full advantage of with quality stories and good writing. I just don't feel they ever got it right with him.
The series is set to continue with The Wolverine (2013), a spin-off directed by James Mangold about Wolverine after the events of The Last Stand. - Wikipedia
IT was ok . . . it overreached Had great potential but never reached it I think the climax was too much Rocket River
This is nitpicky but if Wolverine loses his healing factor wouldn't he die pretty quickly since his claws do damage to him every time he uses them?
Also, without his heeling abilities I don't see how he could live very long with adamantium in his body. Me thinks this movie is fake.
Ugh...it gets so old how they like to highlight Logan's healing power (I guess even more so for this movie). I don't know how many times I need to see him heal ... yeah, I get it..it's cool that he heals. This movie basically looks like it's two hours of Logan abuse.
I'm just looking forward to 10-15 years from now when Hugh Jackman makes one final film as Wolverine when Old Man Logan is adopted into film. That would be a dream come true. I love that comic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_Logan At the onset of the story, the entire United States has been overtaken and divided amongst supervillains, with territories belonging to The Abomination (later conquered by the Hulk), Magneto (later conquered by a new Kingpin), Dr. Doom and the Red Skull, who has named himself President. Heroes have been wiped out of existence, with the few survivors in hiding and scattered throughout the country. Logan lives with his wife Maureen and young children Scotty and Jade on a barren plot of land in Sacramento, California, now part of the territory known as "Hulkland." Logan needs money to pay rent to the landlords of this territory: the hillbilly grandchildren of the Hulk, who are products of years of incestuous procreation originating with Banner and his first cousin She-Hulk. In order to pay the rent, Logan accepts a job from a now-blind Hawkeye: help him navigate east across the country, to the capital of New Babylon, and deliver a secret, illegal package which Logan initially assumes to be drugs.
Well, you have to give them credit: the trailer doesn't miss a single cliche. Hero down and out, needs to be found/recruited? check. Hero's main power compromised? check. Hero shackled and grimacing? check. Fighting on top of a moving train? yeah, but a really fast train, dude! Blargh. Will skip.
It does get a little old..the focusing on the healing. But, wolverine's MO is to get his ass kicked a lot so it's all part of it.
