I'm not sure if there's another thread here about this, but since I couldn't find one on the review board.....

Did anyone like this movie? I thought it was alright. 2/5


Isle 10- A series I'm currently writing with my friend Adam and it will go into production soon. Think The Office meets 10 Items or Less.

I think it's a fun popcorn film, but a VERY disappointing X-MEN film.  I enjoyed certain aspects of it, but man, did they screw up a lot of things.  For example, Gambit looked like he walked right out of "Twilight".  I've been waiting for him to be in the films for so long, and that's what they gave us?!?  Ugh.

Yeah they really did a poor job. Come to think of it, yeah he kind of did look like he was from Twilight. Good action but overall meh.

I work at a trailer house and we did some of the TV spots, so we received the film BEFORE it went through massive re-shoots. I can't even imagine the reviews (and fan reception) it would have received had that version been released.

It was better than I thought it'd be based off the trailers. Ryan Rynolds was awesome in was little time he was given.

Agreed.  Highlight of the film.

I agree Ryan Renolds was good in this movie. He basically just playing Hannibal King all over again, but he was good regardlesss.

Hell, even Will.I.Am gave an at least half-way decent performance in this. That's saying a lot considering he's a hip-hopper-turned-actor.

The two problems I had with the film were Scott Summer's cameo (which was ridiculously out-of-place and only served to somehow link this film to the X-Men trilogy) and the inclusion of Gambit (who was good, but again, out of place in the film).

Then of course comes the ridiculous  "Wolverine" folk tale. Wolverines do not howl, people! They're just like weasels!

I did enjoy the movie, but I was really hoping it would be just a little bit more than your average blockbuster.

Question:  Why is Wolverine afraid of flying, if he's basically invincible?

Question:  Why is Indiana Jones afraid of snakes, if he's basically "invincible"?

Everybody has his weakness. That's why we're only humans...

...no, Wolverine is actually invincible.  Jones is human.

I guess my point is that most fears of flying are routed in a fear of dying.  Yes, you can say that some of it is fear of heights, but it mainly boils down to not wanting to die via plane crash.

And Wolverine, who is a mutant, has the ability to heal himself and basically can't be killed.  So it seems that his fear his planes, and his fear of death, is silly.

I'm not agree. Fear can't be controlable. You can fear spiders, even if they're harmless. You can fear height, even if you're a few feet from the ground.  You can't help it. I think Wolverine's fear of flying adds a human and touching side.

I can definitely see what you're saying, but to me the scene seemed superfluous (and it was, as it was one of the re-shoots).  This fear is coming from the guy who has no problems running into a stream of bullets, holding on to the top of a helicopter or suffering any type of death.

(And with that, 400 posts.  And it only took me about 3 years to do so.    ).

I enjoyed Wolverine and even though I wasn't 100% satisfied, felt it was good and entertaining.
