X-Men Origins: Wolverine
« on: May 01, 2009, 10:57:40 am »
It was awesome!  Saw it last night at midnight.

It wasn't completely comic book accurate, but I felt it was more accurate than the other X-Men movies were.

I don't want to say too much, or give anything away.  But I strongly recommend it.  Make sure you stay till after the credits.  The credits will start to roll, and then there will be a small scene and the credits will continue.  Don't be fooled, stay till after the credits are completely over!

I saw it on the release night... I saw the 1st after the credits - can you spoiler it in white please Teck? It was better than I expected but contradicted too many things but ah well! It was a good film, but can't wait for STAR-FUCKIN'-TREK next week :)

Apparently there are two (possibly more) different scenes that play after the credits.  It all depends on which print your theater has.

First one (the one I saw last night):
Camera zooms in on the rubble of the collapsed reactor stack.  You see Deadpool's arm, blade extended, sticking out.  Slowly the blade starts to retract back into the arm.  Then the arm starts to moves, and the hand is searching for something.  Camera pans to the left, where Deadpool's hand finds his head.  Eyes open, and the stitches that had Deadpool's mouth sealed are now ripped open.  Deadpool says, "Shhhhhh!"

This gives headway to there being a Deadpool spinoff movie which has been widely discussed.


Second one:
Camera is zoomed in on a filled glass, sitting on a bar.  Someone reaches for it.  It's Wolverine.  He drinks it, then asks for "Another" in Japanese.  The girl bartender asks in Japanese, "You're American?".  Wolverine replies "Canadian, I think" in English.  The bartender asks, "Are you drinking to forget?" in Japanese.  Wolverine says, "No.... I'm drinking to remember", in English.

This is supposed to be a precursor to Wolverine going to Japan and following his Samurai roots.


Both are available on YouTube at the moment, but will most likely be taken down.  I do have both the YouTube videos in "high quality" saved to my computer at work.

Highlight:

Well, DP was okay for an end fightscene but good lord he's too powerful for a spinoff imo.

Loved the movie! WAYYYYYYY better than the trailers made it look, extremely good.  Amazing effects, solid story.  Liked it a lot.  I had the latter final scene after the credits and was a tad lost.

Cannot find the first scene on youtube teck, would love a link.

Sucked.

Poor screenplay. Underdeveloped beginning/earlier story, the whole part from 15 min in to like 45 mins in shoulda been cut and more added to underdeveloped story.

Visual effects transitions sucked. Cuts from live action to staged action were pathetic at least 3 times I was like, seriously?

Typical of all comic book movies, there is no resolution, nothing is accomplished.

Don't believe everything you think.

Yeah, it's definitely still a typical comic book movie...don't go into it expecting a Dark Knight experience.  I just felt it was far better than the previews made it look.  But yes, the story was very underdeveloped in many places.

So... I'm confused.  Did you like it or not?  Don't beat around the bush.

Here you are.  Links for both scenes provided.  Mind you, they're not the best quality as they are from people's camera phones.  Links may be taken down at some point, so watch it quick. :D
