And to think, they're giving her, her own movie. That's going to be interesting.

I can't get over the fact they had a baby storm in this movie.

I so have to agree with the "Rich characters vs Eye-Candy part of the review"

Rich Characters to think about: Vulcan & Havok (o wait... nevermind... they killed Cyclops... Morons...), Legion (Am I the only one hoping they take him and include his canon charming personalities?) and of course, Apocalypse.

P.S. I suggest (if they ever read one of my multiple posts throughout the net) that they declare the 3rd Non-Cannon and remake it while scratching out the Dark Pheonix Saga (or making it the actual focus of the movie in which case they would have to... o I don't know... *Not* screw it up).

I agree with everything, actually. I just wish they would FINALLY give a real villain. Okay, I get it, Magneto is cool, BUT COME ON!

Apocalypse, Genesis, Sinister, Nimrod... Stop making films about Magneto. Ever if he is a Pole, I don't want to see his face all the freakin' time.*

*I have nothing against the actor, but I don't think there was a series where in every episode there was ONE and the SAME enemy.

Nowhere near as good as Watchmen, just Ka-Blammos.

I'll be honest I really liked how he inserted the background for some of the characters who sadly weren't introduced to X-Men comics in their childhood. But when will we see Dr. Strange? That guy was sick.

Okay, but I'm talking about new movies/games.

Is now a bad time to mention that four of the five Superman movies have featured Lex Luthor as the villain (even in Superman II he neatly cocked things up for the goodies), and the fifth (Supes III) just had a Lex Luthor knockoff? I think ol' Kal suffers from the same problem as the X-men - what a mate of mine likes to call "lunchbox continuity". The public image of a superhero is dictated by who they appear fighting on promotional lunchboxes and school bags. Spider-man fights the either Doctor Octopus or the Green Goblin. The X-men fight Magneto. Superman/Lex Luthor, Optimus Prime/Megatron, Sonic/Robotnik etc.

With this film, Wolverine fights Sabertooth and the dudes he used to work for. Not counting comics, just going by animated and live-action media, I make this the fifth time this storyline has been done in the last ten years. Suddenly Lex Luthor doesn't look quite so tired.

Dude just in case you were wondering. Wolverine always had claws even as a kid. They were just made of bone, that's how they shaped his metal claws.

True, but I'd pay to see G-man vs [something] ;) I doubt they'll make a Half life movie ever, or rather, not a good one.

Not a huge comic book fan (aside from Watchmen), I've never actually read an X-men comic or even watched an episode of the animated series. But there's one thing I understand... THAT rack, THAT outfit... YES PLEASE!

Good in depth trailer analysis. I spotted some of them, but not all of them myself...I smell another spidermen 3 'too many crooks spoil the broth' type situation...

EDIT: come to think of X-men 3 to inject more characters in minor roles in a ham-fisted manner...

Given this trailer analysis, I'm not sure that I'll like the Wolverine film. It'll undoubtedly be pretty enough to look at (doubly so if they follow your "this rack/this outfit" advice) but the plot and nerd-wanking back story will probably alienate me completely.

It's okay, from what I hear, they fucked up Deadpool enough to where there will be plenty of nerds in your same alienated boat.

I download it. Its decent, not great but not bad. If you go in expecting them to screw everything up, you'll end up being satisfied with the movie. But if you go in expecting it to be amazing You'll be a little disapointed. They screwed up deadpool but they didn't.

WARNING SPOILER!

Deadpool ends up being Weapon XI. They give him a bunch of powers: increased healing factor, teleportation, Cyclops' eye beam, and they put his katanas in his hands so he kind of has a claw that comes out. That is disapointing. But if you ignore the fact that it is deadpool and pretend its just a random villian its entertaining.( oh and they sow his mouth shut) Ryan Renolds does an amazing job with wade Wilson though. The sad part is is that he is only in a few scenes. The good news is is that they liked the character so much they shot more scenes with him, so when the real final cut of the movie comes out, there should be much more deadpool. And maybe he won't die at the end. (there is no forthwall breakage though)

Theres just something in your voice movie bob, i still want to punch you for your watchmen review. Anyway, the wolverine origin story has been done so much either on the comic book or animated movies that it doesnt really matter which version they decide to put on the big screen, who isnt familiar with the story line? I dont usually invest too much into trailers, sounds like a decent movie, i might rent it when its not 12 dollars to watch.

Way to perv out at the end there...

"This rack, this outfit"

That's some heavy fanboy pandering... though I suppose Wolverine Origins isn't doing much better as is...

Nice to see they actually included Reynolds in the movie, uhh, trailer. But does anyone actually want to see how they turn him into Dudepeel? There is no justification on this or any other planet in the Multiverse for them fucking up Deadpool that badly...

Eh, I'm not so interested.

For one, I detest prequels. It's that simple. When a property is so creatively bankrupt that they have to go back in time, I am not interested. The budget money would have been better spend on sidewalk chalk. At least then you could play hopscotch.

Also, X-Men is one of those franchises I just cannot reconcile. I haven't read the comic since the John Byrne/Chris Claremont days. To me, that is the X-Men. I have no idea who these people are nor do I care. The X-Men have a large and ever-changing roster. And that's the problem. There are just way too many characters and most of them are not very good. Especially the fan favorites. That they made a movie out of this franchise is amazing and that it did not completely suck is remarkable, but I'm beginning to think that the whole idea was horrible from the get-go.

The only reason I'm giving this movie enough attention to even bother forming a negative opinion is because it's based on a comic book super hero. That's the only reason, and I'm sure that this is true of most. There may be a few just plain action movie fans or fans of the previous X-Men movies and the like, but most of the people who even care this movie is coming out are comics fans. The same people who went to see Shaquille O'Neal's Steel in theaters despite all reason and logic.

Frankly, I'm just tired of comic book movies sucking, for a number of reasons that is really too much to go into here. But even the victories in this area have been hollow ones. i.e. the first X-Men movie wasn't really that good, it was just amazing it didn't suck.

That sentence pretty much sums up all super hero movies with the possible exception of Robocop. Interesting how that one was not an adaptation. In all the rest something is missing. Something I can't quite define but it is something major.

Anyway, I've been shooting off my mouth like a good little forum poster long enough. Suffice to say that I am holding no hope for this movie. Even if they do put that rack into that outfit.

Does he at least crack a few jokes. Also, deadpool could already regrow limbs...why add an extra healing factor? I wouldn't worry about them killing him though. He has died quite a few times. Almost as many as wolverine. OH SNAP!

While I appreciate the meme, I think it would be better used on Mitko's post.

I'm really looking forward to this movie, mainly because X3 was such a disappointment.
