The official trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine:


http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/xmen-...lverine/trailer

Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar – as the fierce fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, retractable claws and a primal fury. Leading up to the events of X-Men, X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the story of Wolverine’s epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.

Is gambit going to be in this one? I hated most of these movies but gambit is sick.

Gambit is in the trailer. Click the link!

SICK! I'm no x-men buff but wasn't gambit a good guy? I just remember him a lot for Camcom Vs. Marvel 2

Yep, in the comics Gambit was a good guy but he has a shady past. Who knows what he'll be in the film!

Hmm thats what i thought, i hope they at least make him a bit more comic booky, i think i'm going to actually have to illegal download this when it hits theartors instead of waiting for it on hbo.

The FBI is on the way to your house right now!

Wow thanks AH---. Glad you picked up Fred Taylor in TBD after i dropped him so he can waste away one of your roster spots.

gambit wasnt a good guy in the beginning...he later joins xmen...

One of 2 guys should have been Wolvie: Harvey Keitel or Glen Danzig

Keitel in the 80's, sure! He would have done a masterful job. But way too old now.

Danzig has the look ... but he is 3 feet tall. The visual would be too funny!

Ahhhhh...But as originally conceived in the comic books Wolverine was about 5' tall.

Well that's only because he was crouched over most of the time in the comic books.. I think Hugh Jackman plays an awesome Wolverine, IMO.

No. It's because Wolverine was originally only 5'3''.

True, but what works on paper doesn't always work on screen. Like I said, I would be too busy laughing at a tiny Wolverine to play attention to the movie!

By the way, the Wolverine soundtrack uses music from a movie I love called Sunshine. Nice touch!

I don't know what's more surprising, the fact that Wolverine was supposed to be 5'3" or that Hugh Jackman is almost 6'3" tall.

I thought he was a shorter dude in real life like Tom Cruise, but damn was I wrong.

nice! im psyched for this. hopefully it will live up to the hype.

Eh i don't see it living up to the hype, honestly i think they are just trying to cash in on the success of wolverine.

This Marvel Wiki is sweet as hell, I've never seen it. I can read about my fave obscure characters like Lockjaw and Quasar

I don't know. The evil guy in the CSI Episode "Bad to the Bone" kinda' fits that bill, and there was nothing funny about him at all.

Some Wiki-Genre sites are really well done.

u guys know wookiepedia? the star wars wiki? its great

Stoked for this movie. Any chance Omega Red is movie? - dude's sick.

omega red is a must...but i doubt hes in the movie...im guessing they will be mainly showing sabertooth vs wolverine drama

Yeah. Had a slow day at work a couple weeks ago and ran into that. I knew there could be a lot of info out there on Anakin Skywalker, but holy sh*t! Have you seen the Wookipedia page on him?

God am I only one who thinks that Gambit looks like a totally goober in this movie.

This whole movie looks like one giant goober. So...no...you aren't alone!

Hype or no hype, I can't wait to see this movie. I actually think Hugh Jackman does a great job as Wolverine.

Okay good I mean I never really like these movies just cause I felt it was too campy and kind of done for the kids.

Seeing that I'm the resident RW mutant, I'm really looking forward to this movie. I also can't wait for Star Trek. I think they come out within one week of each other.

Agreed, as one may guess since I started the thread!

Hugh Jackman was a great choice, as he is a fine actor. While the first X-Men movie was just okay, each sequel got better & better. I do like the Wolverine trailer, so I'm encouraged!

I was thinking of seeing it this weekend. A friend of mine whose opinion I respect didn't like it much. Any other opinions?

It was good not great.

simple as that...haha

From what I have heard from people. If you are a X-Men fan you'll like it cause it is X-Men but it doesn't transcend over to people who aren't X-Men buffs.

I've heard mixed reviews as well...and I think Ryan Reynolds gets all the funny lines...

I'm seeing it tonight or tomorrow with my gf (i think because she wants to see Jackman without a shirt for most of the movie), I'll post what I thought of the movie after seeing the film. Hopefully it's not a waste of money, because the other X-men movies were great I thought.

As riveting and hysterical as he was in Blade 3, he shouldn't be in super-hero movies.

The first 2/3 is really good. The last 1/3 is really bad, with way too many characters thrown in and too much going on, not to mention an asinine final fight. They also ruin one of my fave Marvel characters.

It better not be Gambit.....

nah, Deadpool

That's a damn shame...Reynolds deserves better...or do you agree with the other post that suggests he shouldn't be cast as a superhero...?

I thought it was a great movie, was it Dark Knight? No. However, it was a great X-men movie if you could follow the storyline with the characters and such. I had to explain a few things to the GF during the movie but she followed most of it knowing nothing about the comic outside of the other movies.


I want to know what those expected out of this movie who say it wasn't a good movie...There is only so much you can do in 2 hours...

Everyone who follows the comics pretty much accepts that this was just an awful movie, like me. It was just bad for those who know a lot about the Marvel Universe.

Also, the whole '3 different endings' thing depending on what theatre you go to is a frigging terrible idea.

I hated it, it did absolutely nothing for me.

That might be the worst idea I have ever heard for a movie ever.

I had no idea they were doing that...I don't see the point...

The point is you'd have to see the movie at theater prices at least 3 times to see the 3 endings.

Yeah, and all three of the endings suck and plug for different sequels...

Six words:

Derivative, unimaginative, been there, done that.

Sigh. Such a terrible fate for what was a spectacular movie franchise (I & II).
