[movie] The Wolverine

[Isgrimnur]

In rebuttal, I offer Smokin' Aces and Chaos Theory.

[hepcat]

And thank god for that.  If Ryan Reynolds never portrays another superhero again, it'll be too soon.  

He tends to lose some of the manic stupidity I hate about his acting when he's playing either the straight man to others (Smoking Aces) or is in a romantic comedy (Chaos Theory).

[Razgon]

I actually like him in comedies - He's "safe" fun and I enjoy his physical acting as well. Green Lantern was a horrible movie though, but I doubt that's because of Ryan Reynolds.

Anyways - I'm on twitter with Hugh Jackman and he's often twittering(?) pictures from various Gym's and his breakfast and man he cares about his diet. Its crazy the thing actors do to stay fit for this kind of movies!

[metallicorphan]

for Ryan Reynolds,i actually liked him in The Amityville Horror remake...he grew his James Brolin beard for the part

I enjoyed him as Deadpool in the first half of Wolverine,but no Green Lantern was just terrible...and still haven't seen Blade 3

I was watching something not long ago when I played through the Wolverine game that had an interview with him. He was pretty adamant about the part of when he came up out of the water in the facility that the body shown on screen was all his with no touch-ups.

Although Reynolds WOULD be a good Deadpool, I think. He likes the character, and he could pull off "wacky badass" reasonably well, I think.

The only thing Ryan Reynolds can pull off is "snarky and annoying smart ass who thinks he's funny but really just irritates the hell out of everyone".  Case in point:  Green Lantern. 

Seems like you're projecting again.

It's OK Hep. We think you're funny. Really, we do.

apparently the style of the movie has taken a surprise turn with a new sidekick:

Isn't that the very definition of Deadpool?

Yeah too bad that is no where near what we got in the movie. Perfect casting, terrible script.

now the director is saying The Wolverine takes place after The Last Stand.

For many, it was assumed that director James Mangold's upcoming The Wolverine would act as followup to 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

I think for many,it was supposed to ignore the first Wolverine ...so are they saying the first Wolverine movie is still canon?...two wolverine movies will now bookending the 3 Xmen movies


In X-Men:First Class,did they not meet Wolverine in Japan,and he just plainly tells them to fuck off?...i know his official Marvel Origin story had him in Japan

So I'm guessing the asian chick is Yukio (should have had shorter hair, but whatevs), but the chick in the green- is that Viper?

International Trailer

[Covenant]

Actually looks quite promising.

[TheEgoWhip]

I agree, the trailer makes me feel better about this movie than I before.

[th'FOOL]

I'm disappointed in what I'm seeing. Looks like they jacked up the source material A LOT.

[Covenant]

Never compare a movie to the source material... therin lies the path to disappointment.
