His role seemed very overplayed to me, kinda like a dramatic soap opera.

I don't think the acting was bad so much as the script was so godawful there really wasn't anything you could do with it. Also, while McG seems to have a knack for directing action, he's a bit of an idiot savant as his direction outside of the action sequences was pretty rough.

Weird coincidence; T2 was on TV here last night. Of course I watched it.

It's amazing how the special effects in the war scenes at the begining are totally as good as today's stuff. Well maybe not as brilliant and polished, but it feels right and more tangible compared to the blue/green screen CGI shit we get nowadays.

Drag Me to Hell. Fucking raucous.

I saw the hangover last friday and it was funny for the most part and a lot of people laughed. There was a stupid part in the movie in which they do some Rainman shit that wasn't funny and I wanted to fart at the screen.


I expect none of you guys to really like it thought based on previous studies so I probably wouldn't recommend it.

Hangover was good, man. Galifianakis sold it, though-- without him, it probably wouldn't have worked.

what kind of a fucking name though

So I saw it tonight and I liked the premise to it with the elite squad then it kind of gets dull after that and they kind of fail my envision of it. Either way I thought it was perhaps better than X-men 3 and as you guessed it follows the origin and story of wolverine. There are lots of appearances from fan favorites I guess so if your a fan I bet you will be like "ya his name is gambit" and stuff like that. I heard a lot about Deadpool from the comics but he just kind of looks retarded in the movie.

If you were any fan of the xmen movies or comics then you will probably enjoy this movie.

Yo this movie is shittier than even the reviews led me to believe. They have $1 rentals at the grocery store so figured why not. The problem is... well there are alot of them. It seems like its shot as a commercial/music video most times.
The acting was viciously bad, but fairly, they had a worse script to work from.
Fuck, I'm sick of this sugarcoated Marvel movie world. Wolverine, should be a bit grittier me thinks. Hugh Jackman is a moviestar trying to be Wolverine. The movie is fucking corny as hell. WHile Wolverine is going through his incredibly painful metal bones surgery he has a dream of his beautiful dead woman and it gets him through the operation.

Ok, yo. There was absolutely no thought put into dialogue. Its an insult to comic fans, imo, as comics are made up of alot of words.
Hugh Jackman is too pretty, tan, tall, model-like to be Wolverine convincingly. This movie is stupid, yo. Wolverine is now living with an unbelievably laidback couple of old people. He just cut their sink in half and they were like "Put down our busted sink and have some supper.."

This is it- Wolverine as a movie character is not dysfunctional enough! The Wolvie I imagined was much less of a people person. He was irritable, grouchy, and shit.

Oh shit! the old couple was just shot up by a chinaman!

Ok, theres something Im not quite sure about... It seems like Wolverine has super strength... is he supposed to have super strength? I thought he could regenerate and had metal bones. Nothing there says he should be super strong. Yo this movie is for morons! Everybody in this movie world has white teeth, perfectly. Oh shit now Wolverine has turned on the secret army, because they killed his old people.

Now a black cowboy is filling in some plot holes for us... he's doing a sloppy job. Is Wyclef in this movie?

Oh shit! The Blob just crushed a boxing trainer with WOlverine's metal body. Ok so this went from revenge flick to some slapstick...

Uh so the black cowboy is Nightcrawler or something...
Haha Gambit's real name is purty gay-
"Remmy LaBoa, I am.."

Gambit has a weird ass power and I bet the dude that created him sees none of the profit from this movie or any other Gambit merchandise. Fuck Stan Lee, by the way.

Gambit has a shitty southern accent. Like I could have done a southern voice and gotten closer to Louisiana than this guy. I feel like Marvel has not enough belief in their characters to really make some dough here. Wolverine is the shit but I, and prolly alot of other people, didn't see the movie because of obvious suckage. The Batman flicks were great. If they actually took this material deadly seriously, it could rock extremely hard, but Stan Lee and his genius brigade keep turning out shitty mindless fuckery for loserboys.

Well I think I'm done. Wolverine is having his showdown with Sabretooth, who is his brother....? There has been more vein poppage than I think I have seen in any other single movie, so at least that's somewhat unique. I'm surprised Hugh Jackman didn't get hemorrhoids from straining so hard.

Oh shit, so now Wolverine is fighting a really weird Deadpool. Like they fucked him up or something... Is this in a comic book somewhere? I don't recall Deadpool being experimented on. He is like a perfect superhero now, but why is he doing the bisdding of the bad guys?

Ok, this is so fucking retarded, like on a galactic scale. Ok so apparently in this movie, Wolverine is shot in the head, and thats how he loses his memory. It hasnt happened yet, but some guy was just like "I'm gonna shoot him in his head, and blow out his memories."

Thats literally what happened. This movie is wacky. His memory is still intact, oh nevermind- memory gone.

Hah! I've got to agree with most of it, Dogmeatlives. The movie was really shitty indeed.

Hey, does anyone else think my stream of consciousness movie review is really awesome? I mean I could watch the movies that Pooper has already reviewed on DVD, and I just go through the movie typing about how shitty it is.

It might be fun. Look forward to me reviewing/spoiling Slumdog Millionaire in the near future as I finally am going to watch it

I have to also add that the title of the film will make someone seem like an instant fucktard when they say it. Can you imagine a reasonable human being saying "I'm gonna go see X-Men Origins: Wolverine!"

What a homoerotic title! And what a pretentious piece of shit fucking title! They couldn't just let people enjoy a single Wolverine movie without mucking it up with tie-ins for their possible future movies that exactly one 34 year old boy cares about! I don't give a shit about Blob! YO and also, the way the scenes with Wolverine interacting in real warfare somehow disturbed me.

I'm not a sentimental dude, but actual people died there. Like the opening montage he took part in Civil War, WW1, 2, Vietnam. I mean I realize Nazis were Nazis but they were also humans and it didn't sit right with me to see some fictional character blowing these people to smithereens.... and you can tell the film maker saw it as disturbing too because throughout the montage we did not see Wolverine kill one person in battle (I just notice shit like that). Sabretooth mowed down German soldiers, and Vietnamese citizens, and Wolverine just looked on very disapprovingly. Honestly, that whole battle montage does not sit right with me.

Somehow mass murder, decapitation and other shit is PG-13 as well.

But dear lord if you can see a nipple! M for MATURE.

Fuck that noise. You can say shit and bitch on TV now. Nipples should have come into the fray years ago.

You know that character is in the comics, right? I agree that they fucked everything up though.

I assumed so. He was too random a character to have been made up for the movie. I agree with your agreement of my decision that they fuckedeverything up.

I was about to ask you if you were making the review while watching the movie which I guess you were. From being a professional movie reviewer I would have to say that your not taking the movie serious enough to be typing while it playing or pausing and doing stuff gosh.

Either way I pretty much agree with what you said but most of the complaints about cheese and corneyness is pretty common in most new movies.
