X-men Origins: Wolverine - Page 2

Okay, I'm going to keep this post extremely short. I've made my point known on other boards, but they happen to be very lenient with the things you can say.

All I can is what they did to Deadpool was inexcusable. What a horrible f***ing joke of a movie this is.

In my rants on other forums, I had a long list of complaints not only from a comic fanboy side, but from a movie critic side as well, but like I said, I'm keeping this post short.

Movie sucked, I should've seen the workprint so I could've at least saved my money; garbage retelling to an already great story. Butchered characters and histories. The movie took a complete piss on the source material and the readers of that material. If you don't care about it depicting the source material accurately and are just in it for the action, go for it. You'll enjoy it. If you came to see your beloved characters that you've grown up on come to life, look elsewhere cuz you won't find it here.

I haven't seen this movie yet. I am not setting my hopes too high. So far, the best thing to come out of this movie was encouraging the long overdue release of the X-Men animated series. I will admit, I am not too knowledgeable about Deadpool, nor do I know his history, other than him being badly disfigured and being a smartass assassin. Although I doubt they can do as much damage to his character as X-Men 3 did to Cyclops, Professor X and Jean Grey. But I can't say for certain until I see it.

Just wait till you see the movie. You'll change your mind rather quickly.

FlawedCoil82 · 05-01-2009, 09:21 PM

Did they give him the mutant ability to turn into a butterfly in the movie or what?

I don't know Deadpool's backstory from the comics so if they made any major changes, I don't think that I would notice them (unless it's something really screwed up.....like them trying to say he is really the father of Wolverine or something). I have the 4 issue Deadpool comic mini-series somewhere....perhaps I should re-read them? It has been MANY years and I barely remember them.

Well, I went this afternoon and I liked it. Although, and please excuse me for my "girly" moment, I think that is mainly due to Hugh Jackman being so freakin' hot and not the actual movie. But as much as that man makes me drool, I still can't say I loved it. There were some great scenes and funny lines though.

Well....the blades coming out of his hands....BIG NO NO! Laser eyes, transportation, healing factor, and the absence of a mouth are not characteristics of our beloved Deadpool.

He is pretty much and highly skilled human-being. But as the story goes, he gets cancer, goes insane and becomes his usual wise-cracking, breaking the fourth wall, mercenary, self.

*Ninjinister* · 05-01-2009, 11:57 PM

Uh... Deadpool does have a healing factor. And teleportation (though that's because of a device and not a power).

*Jade Green* · 05-02-2009, 12:53 AM

I haven't read the comics in a while, so maybe someone can double check this for me: Dead Pool never had the power to teleport, it was thanks to a belt he wore.

...And I just reread Ninjinister's post, so yeah... the belt.

*Voltron* · 05-02-2009, 12:55 AM

I liked it. It was fun to watch. Story wasn't anything to write home about, but it was a nice way to pace two hours. Then again, I was never terribly familiar with some of the characters, so I could understand why some might be pissed.

*R-iZZy* · 05-02-2009, 03:20 AM

Since we're going on things to complain about:

Spoiler:

These are just complaints from a comic fanboy perspective. I haven't even gone in on this movie from a film critic's perspective yet.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-02-2009, 03:51 AM

Saw that earlier today (love Marvel/DC)... I actually thought about posting it to tell people it was to make up for his treatment in the movie

*Candy Kappa* · 05-02-2009, 04:12 AM

Oh, he totally is! Nolan North FTW.

*Raven* · 05-02-2009, 12:15 PM

I saw the movie last night, and Im probably one of the few who isnt going to bitch about deadpool. I kind of like what they did with him, but he ended up being a plot bitch in more ways then one.

It was a fun movie, with some heart to it. Not much mind you, but the tension between Logan and Victor defiently was fun to watch through the film. Some of there fights were the best of the whole film, compared to the anticlimatic end fight scene. Which really felt cheap.

The Blob scene was funny as hell, probably my favorite scene of the film. I guess this movie gets a 3/5 from me. Kept me interested all the way through, but some glaring mistakes really kept me from really getting into it like I would have like to.

*Raph's Girl* · 05-02-2009, 05:30 PM

Ok in the comics the team featured somewhat in the movie was Team X...only instead of Blob there was a fellow named Mastadon and instead of Silver Fox being on the team she was replaced by Wade Wilson and Chris Bradley.

Comix Team X: Logan, Sabertooh, Mastadon, Maverick, Kestrel, and SilverFox

Movie: Logan, Sabertooth, Agent Zero (aka Maverick)*Note: In the comics he's German*, Kestrel/John Raith (the teleporter), Wade Wilson, Blob, Chris Bradley (aka Bolt aka Maverick II)

I know...minor nit pick. To be honest, I also know next to nothing about Wade. And were any of the other other members of the Weapon Squad supposed to be anyone from actual comic continuity? (Well, aside from Logan, Victor, and Blob...) One big question I have is if the memory sector of Logan's brain was physically damaged and not psychically shielded, how can Professor Xavier pull the old memories to the surface. It's not like the were washed away through technology or mutant abilities, but physically blown away by a freakin' bullet. Watching it again, it doesn't hold up...the "Stryker is pulling the strings" angle is very obvious... __________________ "Clearly, you're Ninja Turtling incorrectly." - Leo656

REALLY? - When did Blob ever work for the Weapon X program? - Deadpool after the experimentation; every-f*ing-thing about him screamed "I'm not Deadpool" with the Deadpool moniker to his name. - To get more into Deadpool: optic blasts and the ability to teleport without a device? Having Wi-Fi in his brain and catching command prompts from Stryker? - Emma Frost and Silver Fox being sisters? We're talking about a Native American and a straight-up Caucasian. - Wolverine lost his memory to... wait for it... an adamantium bullet shot to the head. LMFAOOOOOOOOO!!! - You borrowed elements from the Wolverine Origin story as it was, did you seriously need to go 3/4ths the way into the origin and then decide to put your own spin on it for the last quarter of the way? It was goddamn retarded. - Deadpool once again. That was so fing horrible that it needed another mentioning. Seriously, they welded his mouth so he couldn't even be the Merc with the Mouth. What the fick fuggity f*?! - Silver Fox had the ability to control minds? Wow. A lot different from the power she had in the comics... and I mean completely* different. These are just complaints from a comic fanboy perspective. I haven't even gone in on this movie from a film critic's perspective yet. __________________
