Not going to spoil it for anyone, I'll actually give it a chance to open in America first (Yeah, that's right, we finally got a good movie first!)

I will say however, that you must see this movie.

Three reasons include;

1. Wolverine.
2. Ryan Reynolds.
3. Gambit.

I thought about going to the late show after I watched Dragonball but I figured I'd wait until next week when it's bound to be a bit quieter.

I thought it would be packed, but there was no line at all.

The cinema was quite roomy, free to put your feet up.

It makes me sad when I compare it to the Spider-Man and Star Wars openings. Where's the fandom?

I for one was surprised it was already playing. Didn't find out until I looked up the show times of my movie online. I knew the movie was coming, but not when exactly. Looks like at least over here, marketing has failed.

LIES! LIES AND SLANDER!

The leaked file is s'house. It lacks the quality of the final production.

Yes, I'll admit there were points in the movie where I was 'Whaaaaaaaaaat?' but you can't expect it to live up to the standard of the comics.

Comics are unrestricted whereas films are limited to current technology and whatnot.

The awesome aspects of the movie make up for the lesser parts.

My only 2 qualms with this film.

Ryan Reynolds needs longer than 30secs of actual acting
Woverines claws look far too CG at some points
My Band - Dark Matter
My Music - Duality
Twitter-er-ings
I can be found on Facebook, ask me for details and I shall deem if you are worthy =P

Ask FOX.. you know, that company that canceled Firefly? And didn't renew Terminator? and put to many stupid ideas into Doll House? and canceled Millennium? and gives people like Bill ORielly a platform to reach the public? and decided NOT to have Cameron do the Aliens vs Predator movie? And made it PG-13 to reach an audience that wouldn't know a thing about the movies since they were all R? And followed that up with another piece of trash AVPR? Do I need to go on?

Saw it and wasn't impressed. If I knew nothing of the characters or universe it would have been a better movie. Even at that it was mostly flash with little substance.

Hey, in the trailer I saw supposedly Baby Storm - where'd she go?

Recognised Quicksilver, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Blob, (Asian) Zero, Sabretooth- any characters you spotted?


I figure I might as well make it into a game of Whos Who seeing as the directors went out of their way to include everyone.

Saw it last night.

Disappointing. Not quite as bad as XMen3, but awfully close.

Were it not for the substantial amount of hardboy Jackman, I probably would have felt cheated.

Movie was not bad. I'd give it an 7/10. Though I'm not a huge fan of action movies in general or even X-Men but I've seen all the other movies. I used to watch the cartoons on tv when I was a kid, I loved those.

I also think Hugh Jackman is overrated (In all ways).

Wow.. I'm surprised you didn't add the `naked Hugh Jackman` bit in there? (didn't care for that myself, but hey, I dig on chicks, not dudes).
Or would that have been ruining it?

Given the unplausibly moveis it had to build into.. I think they did a good job. ..but take that out of it and it flat-out was a money-grab for name/brand power-appeal.

Unhappy with the ending sequence.. poor Deadpool. but the parts where Reynold's got to go to work, they were nice...until his stunt-double took over.

Just my opinion.

Spotted characters : not mentioned thus far : Cannonball (the kid in the cage with the rubberbands on him, bouncing back and forth), ..argued possible for Juggernaut, but Juggs ain't a mutant.

Paddy : dayum roight wolvie's claws were wonky... the CG artists did a horrible job.. there were points it looked like they clipped the claws just off his hands, leaving a notable space between.

Friend of mine brought up a good question : where did they get the transition (in the movie) from James/Jimmy to Logan?

Except in the movie series they made Juggs a mutant.

My friend mentioned that to me as well. They just changed the name out of no where, forget the fact they had excuses to change his name (mind wipes, military service, etc).

I had a lot of major problems with this film. But all of it revolves around the following.

Note: Spoilers.

Ok, so Striker, gets Wolverine to accept the adamantine. He tells the Generals he's going to make in indestructable, if he can survive the process. And then at the end, after Wolverine gets away, he sends Agent Zero to kill him. (uh, sorry Striker, but the definition of indestructable is can't be destroyed). And then only after Zero's dead (Zero who's a super marksman, who can hit any target), then Striker is given the adamantine bullets. (Don't you think it would have made more sense to give them to the guy who's not going to miss? No of course not, that makes actual sense, so it doesn't belong in the movie).

Later on, Gambit stops Wolverine from killing Sabertooth, and then agrees to help him if he'll kill Sabertooth (what?)

Wolverine gets to the Island, he goes to see Striker, finds out Silver Fox isn't dead and then decides not to kill him. (Actually if you notice, Wolverine never fights anyone who can't heal supernaturally).

And then the fight with "Deadpool". Ok, first off, you cast Ryan Reynolds, who was good at the beginning and then isn't able to talk at the end. Secondly, you completely destroy an amazing character in the Marvel universe. Thirdly if he has katanas in his arms, he won't be able to bend his arms if they're sheathed. Next, if he has Cyclops' eye beams, why does he even need the clunky katanas? And lastly, Sabertooth can't hurt him, he has no adamantine. So at the end, why does he bother even fighting Sabertooth? Just ignore him and concentrate on Wolverine.

And then the whole thing with the adamantine bullet erasing his memory... omg. it's like, ok we have to somehow erase him memory, let's make something up! ok! Now if the bullet had erased his memory as a consequence that wouldn't have been bad. But no. they talked about it in advance. ugh.

And on another note, the guy at the beginning who Jimmy thinks is his father... he looks exactly like Hugh Jackman, but isn't his father. What?

So ridiculous. Thanks for killing a movie that had a lot of potential.
