X-men Origins: Wolverine - Page 4

*R-iZZy* · 05-10-2009, 08:39 PM

LOL @ the thought of Wolverine or X3 even being anywhere near the level of quality as X2. Bryan Singer knew how to make good X-Men movies, even if some of the characters weren't portrayed as accurately as a fanboy would like. The plot's pacing, the cinematography and usage of characters were on-point for the most part.

well, ok X-Men 3 for sure, not so much X-Men two, deffinately X-Men one though. honestly yes X-men 2 was good, but you guys give it way too much credit, it did have some flaws, it wasn't perfect by any means. and i'll add this, Cyclops sucks ass in all X-Men movies imho, and Hugh Jackman/Wolverinr is kickass in all X-Men movies!

Saw this tonight with a friend just because we're both off college earlier than everyone else and were looking for something to do.

What can I really say? I love how it tactfully inserted every single action movie cliche.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-11-2009, 03:35 AM

Saw it. Worst Marvel movie ever.

Bonus points for seeing nudie hurdles though, right?

Ghost Rider, Punisher (Dolph Version)?

Yeah, all of those are valid on their terrible-ness (except for the Punisher flick mentioned because there was NEVER a bad Punisher movie).

Also, lets not forget the ORIGINAL Fantastic 4 movie, from the 90s.

*Cipher* · 05-11-2009, 11:56 AM

Did anyone actually enjoy The Hulk?

*Brodie* · 05-11-2009, 12:19 PM

The Hulk is far from the worst Marvel movie. It was really just trying to be too many things at once...like, it's artsy, then its a comic book, then its a love story, then its a scifi thriller, then its horror, then its military drama, then its psychological, and then there are mutant poodles.

Its a decent movie to watch every few years.

*Mecha Cow* · 05-11-2009, 12:40 PM

Hulk (No "the") has some messed up priorities and I can understand it might be somewhat disappointing to fans expecting straight-up action, but it's a nice enough movie that gets way more sh*t than it deserves. I've noticed most people criticize it for what it isn't rather than for what it is. I actually enjoyed it more than last year's The Incredible Hulk.

Worst Marvel movie is probably still X3 (But I haven't seen Elektra or Ghost Rider... and the latter does have Nicolas Cage).

daredevil got Ben Affleck....

Elektra was just boring

*Brodie* · 05-11-2009, 01:06 PM

Say what you want about Daredevil, but lay off Affleck. He did the creepy blind-guy-looking-at-you-but-not-AT-you-cross-eyed-thing really well.

My problem with it is that it is an incoherent mess. I didn't see it with any expectations. I know almost nothing about the mythology of a character. It's simply not a good movie.

It probably isn't the worst thing Marvel's put out. I still haven't seen (and probably won't see) Ghost Rider or Elektra. I just remember watching Hulk and thinking it was a really, really incompetent film.

Peanut · 05-11-2009, 02:26 PM

Ghost Rider isn't as bad as people made it out to be, but Elektra is f*cking awful. Easily the worst Marvel movie I've seen.

Just an example of people blowing it our of proportion. Aside from the fact that the movie was boring as hell and the ending was completely out there, there was nothing terribly wrong with it. At least not in the way everyone seems to think. It wasn't a great movie, but it also wasn't poorly made, which I think mostly stems from hearsay more-so than anyone ever having sat down and watched the movie without looking for flaws. Anyone who saw Hulk after it came out were already convinced it would be awful. Seeing anything under those circumstances automatically makes something 10x worse than it actually is.

I saw it not knowing how bad its reviews were. I was not looking for a terrible movie. I got one anyway. Why can't I think it was a bad movie without jumping on the bandwagon?

It was probably better than Wolverine on a purely objective level (although the latter had some unintentionally hilarious moments). It was also probably better than Michael Bay's Transformers.

*raphael_is_cool* · 05-11-2009, 03:26 PM

Eric Bana is awesome. So Hulk could not have been all bad.

You may be missing my point here. You can think it's bad all you want, but making as strong a statement as the movie is "an incoherent mess" is saying more than you disliked it. To me, that's conveying you believe the movie to be some kind of thrown together schlock, which I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with, even if I don't like the movie either. But by all means, my good sir, dislike it until your heart is content, I would be in that boat with you.

Agreed.

~~Leo656~~ · 05-11-2009, 04:15 PM

I liked parts of Hulk a lot more than some parts of Incredible Hulk. And vice-versa. They both did a lot of stuff really well for the character. I totally agree 100% with what Brodie said about the first one trying to do too much. I thought it was just fine but the CGI was lackluster. The one thing people keep saying to me is that they thought it was boring, so I'm implied to believe Hulk gets a bad rap simply b/c it wasn't two hours of "Shreck on a 'roid rampage". And Bana was awesome.

"Daredevil: The Director's Cut" goes a long way towards redeeming that movie. Minus that lousy playground scene, the rest of the DC is what that movie should've been. I remember reading in Wizard about a bunch of scenes in that flick, then in the theatre I was like, "Wait, what happened to...?" All the cool stuff got stuck on the DC for some reason.

I'm pretty much resigned to the DVD for Wolverine at this point. Started out looking good, but I keep hearing "X-Men 3", which I regret paying twice to see as it is, so I'm just gonna wait.
