    You obviously didn't see Apt Pupil directed by Singer an starring Ian McKellan.

    Horrible movie.

    Dennis2112156,

    In the comics wolverine is the Oldest X-men. He was born supposedly in the 1890s, I've heard my sources.

    I personally know he did some stuff between WWI and WWII since he was thrown back in time to his body in this period. He looked the same that would suggest he is atleast born before 1920. Sabretooth is even older.

    My personel favorite wolverine was too easy to knock out. I liked the fact that they weakened the heroes, makes a better story. Rogue has always been young I thought, teens to low 20s.

    personally I think the sentinels would have been best if they were in this movie. Magneto would have looked less evil and more like a sometime hero, sometime villain.

    The Poland scene should have been followed by magneto rescuing mutants from a similar faith from the sentinels.

    Still a great movie. I value entertainment over artsy stuff and shoot'em ups.

    I concur. I like the fact(in the comic book) that Wolverine and Sabertooth have a tense rivalry and fought many times over. Also remember that Magneto attack a mutant called Mutant X that zapped him back to adolescent age but keep him memories. So Magneto has lived 2 lifetimes.

    I had read that when they were making the film that they had a scene from the danger room where they practiced but they edited it out due to costs and time. I sure hope they include that scene in the DVD.

    I really do not care what the next film is about as long as they make it. [​IMG]
