I just saw the premiere, which is worth a little bragging - what else of mention happens around Phoenix? The movie was awesome, check it out this weekend and avoid the bad press all over the Internet. It easily fits with the other X-Men movies, and has a fun 80's action flick feel to it at times. Plays a little loose with cannon, but I loved it.

Oh, and I say this as a perfectly straight man - Gavin Hood and Hugh Jackman are just hot. I got a good elbow from my wife after that observation and seeing them both up close.

I like what they did with the non-LA premier, was pretty impressive.

I half downloaded the leaked copy of this, but when I realised I didn't have half the special effects yet, I deleted it.

Comes out here tommorrow night, and I intend to catch it :P

And yes, I'd do Jackman too. High five!

fuck you guys, i'd go gay for Jackman, move to Iowa and get married with Fil and significant other as our bridesmaids...

wait...that sounded a little ga.......nm.

Where's the mods? We've exceeded our "gayness" thread quota.

In order for us to moderate on gayness, we'd need at least some threads to stay straight.

heh....okay okay in an effort to help Malse I will state that the actor they have playing Emma Frost is smoking hot!!!

( that help? )

How is this story supposed to work into the X-Men Universe? I see Cyclops, Gambit, Frost, etc. as part of Project X which doesn't really work with the real timeline.

they arent part of project X. Also its a amalgnm of Ultimate story line, old universe, and some creative writing.

Yeah, unlike Iron Man and the more recent Hulk , this is a vastly distorted storyline.

They've retroconned the Wolverine origin so much in the past 30 years that it's hard to recall what is or isn't the current accepted origin.

The only story that matters is, Wolverine is the best at what he does. And what he does, isn't very nice. It's generally frowned upon by the Comics Code Authority.

1.) The CCA is now a joke and most publishers dropped its approval.

2.) The Story is very closely based on the Origins series that came out a few years back, with of course some creative twists. like using the Ultimate X-Men backlog for Scott Summers. Will I Am's characters is completely revamped and changed.

CCA? Is that a real thing?

I always wondered why Wolvie had bone claws after Magneto ripped him apart. From a story perspective, Marvel has screwed this up enough that the movie didn't bother me in the slightest.

I saw this movie a few weeks ago. It was tragic if you like Deadpool. They royally fucked his character up. Liev Schreiber was fantastic, then again he usually is. Gambit was in the movie all of 10min, same for Deadpool. Very disappointed.

sounds like you saw the leaked copy which they said is missing a lot of gambit/deadpool footage

Haha yeah, shell out a few bucks and go see it for real, cheapo!

Yeah thats why the actual release copy was 20min shorter. That is what they said. But nothing was added.

So what the hell is that thing in your sig?

Not really. Most of them are an integral part of the Weapon X program. Also they change cyclops's power a few times during the movie.

Just go in to watch some eye candy, and you will not be disappointed. Just hope you are not a fan of Deadpool. Jackman, Shrieber, and Renolds were all good though. It is just the same script travesty that was X3. Movie was still fun to watch, just horribly butchered.

I agree. I am sure they won't get the story exactly right how it was in the comics, but honestly who the fuck cares. It's still going to be entertaining even if Ryan Reynolds (lol :confused::() is Deadpool.

saw a couple articles about ryan reynolds he took this role very seriously. Got in good shape and is trying to get a solo movie made.

Then again i have a mancrush on Ryan Reynolds.

Yeah and there was rumors of a Deadpool spin off. But he is only in the movie a few min.

Not really. Most of them are an integral part of the Weapon X program. Also they change cyclops's power a few times during the movie.How so?

How did they change his power or how are they all part of weapon X? They were all experimented on at one point or another. Well most of them.

As for how they changed his power. Sometimes its like a cutting laser and sometimes its a kinetic blast. Not a big deal, just need to make up their mind. It was kinetic in most of the movies.

The visor Beast or Chaeles makes for him is what makes it a lazer, without the visor its a large unruly blast.

Gotcha. To be fair they were a little unclear about his powers at times in the comics as well, but I see what you mean in the movies.

I think Ryan Reynolds was a good Deadpool. They just needed to give him a a lot more lines.

Which ending did you see?

It's Wolverine partying hard! You'll notice there are no balls touching, so it is definately not gay!

My ending was just Wolverine in a bar "drinking to remember", was dumb.

The visor Beast or Chaeles makes for him is what makes it a lazer, without the visor its a large unruly blast.

it depends who writes him. He had some Vibranium cuffs on in a issue once, and squinted his eyes to pin point accuracy to "pick" the lock and went blind for a short period of time. Its "listed" in the table top RPG as kenetic blast, but he can cut with it.

In Japan right?

The goggles reflect the kinetic energy back into the micro dimension it comes from. It doesn't change its effect. It is just an inconsistency in the movies.

In comic books the Ruby Quartz absorbs it. There was an issue where Husk grabbed his glasses turned into Ruby Quartz and Cyclops couldnt do a damn thing to him

I had the "shhh" ending

I was somewhat disappointed as a fan of Gambit. Not really in the actor, I thought he was OK. But he wasn't Cajun enough. I guess I wanted the Saturday morning cartoon version.

A LOT of the CG bothered me. It felt so unfinished (no, I didn't see the bootleg copy.. although I wish I had so I could see how much more effort they actually put in to finishing the effects). When you see Wolverine's adamantium claws in the bathroom at the old folks house, it was so bad it was distracting. There were other things too.. little details. Like when Deadpool's head was falling down the silo, the beam cuts through the silo, but in the background you see the beam intersect the other silo with zero effect. I would accept that given the range it wouldn't have cut through the silo, but a scorched line or something would be expected.

I really wish movie studios had the same philosophy for their movies that Blizzard has for their games. Don't give a definite date until you know you're gonna be done with it, and don't be afraid to push it back before you're happy with it. Sure, its somewhat tedious for the fans to not know, but in the long run we are left with a better product.

Would that have saved this movie from itself? Probably not, but it would have been one less thing to complain about, and easier for me to have enjoyed it as what I wanted it to be: an eye candy action flick to get lost in.

The effects were a bit on the B-movie side, but the biggest problem was that it was a really terrible story in which our angry protagonist ... doesn't kill anybody. So he kills some generic military goons and the zombie dude. And? I think there was a higher body count in the opening montage. He's supposed to be a badass why?

Because he looks cool. Duh.

Did anyone stick it out and stay to the very end of the movie credits?
**Shhhhhh!!** .. you would think they would / could of done something better than that huh :confused:
The movie was ok, nothing really stood out that I disliked about it, but I do have to say that I really like the person they picked to play Sabertooth, he played the role very well (*I'm so glad they didnt pick or usethe same guy / look they used in Xmen 1*)
If they do make another X-Men Origin movie, I betting that it would involve the early days of the **young* x-men and the start of the school. Gt to see Cyclopes and Jean meeting for the first time and training would be great :D
That or a spin-off movie involving **Shhhhhh!!**;)

Timber there was like 4 different endings I think. Mine was Wolverine with some Asian chick bartender.
Next X-Men movie will be Origins: Magneto and him and young Charles and all the WW2 stuff.

Deadpool movie is a go. They already changed his powers too. Now he absorbs other power /sigh.

hmm looks like they are going to Fubar yet again another Marvel char as they did with Punisher

The movie was sent to writers and is really in its infancy, so the absorbing powers thing could simply be speculation.

I hope so, tat whole absorbing powers of captured and dead mutants thing just puts an epic fail aspect to the movie, I also hope that the ditch that borrwed cheap version of Cyclope's eye beam (*which I dont ever rember reading about in the old comics*)

I know Rogue did absorb Cyclops’s power a few times in the comics. I think, however she retained the ability to turn it off. The reason Scott Summers lost the ability to control it was due to brain damage recieved when his parents pushed him and his brother out of the crashing plane they were flying in to save thier lives.

Man, this stuff is WAY better than soap operas, in my opinion....LOL

I was thinking the same, i sure hope its true.

I so forgot abouthis brother, Havoc if I rember right aka Alex Summers. He was another of my fav from the comics. Both of thier powers have no effect on one another, so when ever they did fight each other it turn into an all out fist fight :D

Just saw the movie and wow....i loved it


Clarifications and comments:

*Deadpool didnt absorb the powers he had them genetically "attached" to him

*How the fuck could he bend his arms if he had blads that long in them???

*Fred Ducks isnt part of the Weapon Project!

*WTF, they took Emma Frost's old powers made it a sister and then used the new emma...but way younger.

*Zero=Maverick, but done retardedly and named changed

*Telemech was a new creation, by why, apparently there isnt enough mutants in MArvel for their plot lines

*How fucking hard would it of been to add a little blonde to Sabertooth

*Yes, Scott lost the ability to control his powers due to brain damage as stated. On a side note, right before the crash their father was saved and became a space pirate!

*Spectre was an existing Marvel character that they used the same powers and name but created a new persona

*Why cant they just have used the original xmen as Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast, and MArvel Girl

*Gambits powers were dead on, though they used some creative uses. His accent wasnt harsh enough and his eyes were wrong. Its ok its not like it's one of his signature descriptive features or anything......

*I LOVED how they explained the memory loss! Brilliant in my opinion

*Strykers back story about his son was accurate

The deadpool thing you are referring too, is for the Deadpool movie not wolverine.

Saw it over the weekend with my 13 yr old son.

Excellent movie! There were a few liberties taken with the characters, but all in all, I enjoyed it.

Much better then X-men 3!
