Wow, that is horrible.
They even have Baraka's blades coming from the forearms. The fuck is up with that?
 
I never really read the comics I was more into the cartoons as a kid but I didn't think wolverine's power also had the bones come out of his hands like that. I was told that later one some how the metal got removed from him and he had bones come out of his hands but his power actually was the healing. So did he have bones come out of his hands or was that just something added to the movie?

Yes -- after the metal was removed, he popped his claws and found out they were bone. The Wolverine: Origin story shows him with the bone claws as a kid, just like the movie.
 
More SPOILERS about Deadpool from this:

*********************SPOILERS**********************

Here's the text from the back of the figure:

"Deadpool was transformed by William Stryker to be the ultimate Weapon he is a monster with a single purpose, to serve Strykers will. He is an undestructible weapon with no vulnerabilty and his first target is Wolverine."

And Deadpool looked so promising at first...
 
I really think the comic origin story is bull, that or he forgot that he had bone claws. He seemed surprised to have them after losing the adamantium.

I really think it was a mistake to ever reveal that much about him, the mystery was part of the character.
 
I thought in the old tv show they said that he got the claws from geting the adamantium and that they are not even part of his mutant powers. I would have thought it would have been like that in the comics also seeing how stan lee and jack curbie(sp?) had some to do with the show. Not sure if it was the writing or editing but I remember them having something to do with it.
 
Well the whole bone claws things was a new idea at the time when he lost the adamantium, up til that point it was believed they were metal. The show never got to that point.
 
To lend something to the earlier Deadpool spoiler, here's a shot of Hasbro's movie Deadpool figure

Whoops, sorry only saw the text part - didn't read the mention about the description being from the back of the figure
 
[quote name='Ikohn4ever']the better question is why the FOOK is cyclops in this movie[/quote]

Merchandise, Merchandise, Merchandise!

Also I think that Deadpool figure may work well for a 3.75" Vega custom. Few modifications, but it's a good start.

If done right it wouldn't be a mistake. If they would have made it have more questions then answeres then it could be good. Reveal some of the mystery but also cause more.
 
Desperate attempt to get people to watch this shit flick...or so I've heard:

I just stepped out of a screening of X-Men Origins: Wolverine on the Fox lot in Los Angeles and before it started, director Gavin Hood stopped by to introduce the film. He spent most of the time thanking us for coming to this screening and seeing Wolverine the way it should be seen, in theaters, and talked about how many difference there were between the final cut and the early leaked version. He then mentioned that Marvel has a tradition of hiding easter eggs in their films, and it's no exception for Wolverine. They've hidden multiple secret endings on different prints and theaters will be showing different versions.
Fox is a bit desperate to try and get people in theaters on May 1st for the opening and this definitely seems like a very unique decision to try and bring people in. While we've seen plenty of easter egg endings, like in Iron Man last year, we haven't seen multiple endings like this in a long time. Hood didn't say how many different endings there would be. As for the other differences between the leaked version and the final cut, Hood explained that there were 400 unfinished visual effects shots and that there was no score, unfinished sound mixing, and unfinished coloring. However, he didn't mention anything about differences in footage.
I will say, quickly, that I enjoyed Wolverine and wouldn't call it great, but liked it a lot more than I was expecting. I think my expectations had been brought down considerably because of all the negative buzz from the leak. However, seeing a finished and polished version was what made all the difference (I never saw the leaked version anyway). As for the secret ending we saw tonight, I'll only say that it featured Deadpool, but I won't say anything more, as I don't want to spoil the ending. We'll let you know when we hear any more about the secret endings in Wolverine, including how many there are and what they are.

Still not tempted to go see it.
 
My girl and her friend want to see this so I will go. I dont have any hopes for it at all. Just seems to weak without a good villain.

In all the stuff I have read (not much to be honest) Deadpool doesnt seem to be insane like he should be.

I was like :whistle2:s until I saw the dates of the posts :rofl:
 
I've heard that they ruined Deadpool...well they did, just look at this abonination:

wolverine-deadpool.jpg


It should have just been some random mutant and they should have called him Weapon XI, or better yet, they could have had the real Deadpool that everyone knows and loves.
 
Sabertooth should have been the main villain. Not only does it not make since for it to be deadpool, they really fucked up his character anyway.

This movie's biggest problem is the same problem a lot of comic movies have, it's heavy on generic action and light on things from the actual source comics.
 
The scene that I saw after the credits was also the Deadpool scene. Massive spoilers:

His arm crawls out towards his decapitated head. The head's eyes open, and whispers "Shhh."

Anyway, the movie was pretty good. As the one guy said, I wouldn't call it great, but it was better than I was expecting. The only super cheesy part of the film was the whole helicopter bit that they show in the previews.

I think everyone did a great job as their characters, especially Ryan Reynolds, who really knocked it out of the ballpark with Deadpool's sarcastic, smartass attitude. The only thing that sucks about Ryan's casting as Deadpool is the amount of screentime he gets (Translation: Not much). I'd liken it to being shocked with Kelsey Grammer's performance as Beast. I hope there's more scenes featuring Deadpool on the Blu-Ray.

Overall, if you're an X-Men fan and/or a Wolverine fan, it's worth watching.
 
I thought it was good. Definitely better than X3 which was garbage.

And as Scorch said, Ryan Reynolds was awesome. Definitely underused.

I got an awful Wolverine ending. It pretty much amounted to
Him drinking at a bar. The bartender said "are you drinking to forget?" and he said "No, I'm drinking to remember"

Only spoiler'd because there's someone who's bound to complain if I don't. Overall, that ending was not worth waiting for.

I'm usually one to enjoy pretty much any movie I see. But I must say this movie was terrible. I feel like an ass for seeing it at midnight. The audience was pretty much laughing at most parts that were suppose to be "cool" or "serious". Definitely the worst marvel movie I've seen.

[quote name='Scorch']The scene that I saw after the credits was also the Deadpool scene. Massive spoilers:

Haha, when he said, "Shhhh" the whole audience laughed. It was so friggen cheesy.

How's this happen!? I friggen like every movie that everyone hates (Watchmen, Cloverfield ect.) but when I finally think a movie is terrible, everyone loves it. Do I have to move to middle America to think Wolverine is a great flick but Watchmen is a terrible excuse for a hero movie?! Bah, drives me crazy. Or maybe the entirety of a movies enjoyement is derived from the viewing area. . . when I saw Wolverine I was surrounded by douchie guys (they were pretty good during the movie) but it made it harder to relax - maybe that affected my enjoyement?

I'd say save your money - but looks like I'm alone here.

That multiple ending thing is bullshit if true. I remember a rumor when Freddy vs. Jason came out that they were doing that, fortunately it turned out to be false. If I pay to see a movie I want to see the fucking thing, not get a "version" of it.

Then again, I don't feel much of an urge to see this anyway.
 
I got the Stryker ending where he is walking and the military pulls up next to him and tells him he is wanted for questioning in the murder of the General.

How lame. The movie was pretty good though.
 
I almost expected the scene with him at the bar to be a lead into the first X-Men movie. I was expecting rogue to sit down at the bar.

i think thats in every version.... you have to stay passed the credits to see your "ending"

i enjoyed the movie.. held off from seeing the leaked version..

Seriously? Why even add that part in there then?
 
I wonder how they are going to do this with the ending when it comes to dvd and bd. Also is their only 2 different ones or more? I saw the bar one.
 
Those endings are horrible. It was a gimmick to get people to go see if after the leak.

But at least make it worth while.

*pulls stick out of DarknessBear's ass* Found the problem!

Just kidding. A lot of it had to do with the audience as well. My audience was amped. They cheered when the lights lowered, they cheered at the Star Trek and Transformers 2 trailers, they roared with laughter at the Ice Age 3 teaser ("Don't do it! She'll take everything you have!").. but they also laughed at the Deadpool thing at the end. FWIW, I thought Cloverfield and Watchmen were great movies. Going in, I knew it'd be slower and not nearly as action packed as the X-Men movies. I didn't have my expectations too high and I enjoyed it. I think that might be your problem. I didn't hype it up to myself. I think it's a great start to a summer of amazing movies. Wolverine wasn't supposed to be a hero movie. It was the story of his origin, and it's not a happy tale.

There aren't "multiple endings". There's multiple scenes after the ending. Wolverine's ending teases a sequel, Deadpool's is just.. well, confusing. Those are the only two that have been talked about so far.

The leak had the ending with him at the bar. Thats how I saw that ending. So this was not done to make up for that. I'm sure the other one with deadpool was not done because of the leak. I don't think it would have been enough time to do it. They would have had to get Ryan Reynolds in to do the part again. Atleast I would think to do the motion caping for the face. The arm could have been someone elses. Hell they might not have needed him to come back and do it at all. I have not seen the ending but even to do it on a computer the staff that was by that time working on somthing else would have had to put that on hold and do this. Also I'm sure it would have taken more then a month to get it done.

:dunce:
 
This movie was ass. Total ass. As in Spider-man 3 total ass. It's like they knew it was going to make millions anyways so just told them to write whatever the hell they wanted and only requirements were A. he has to forget his memory B. add an assload of mutants C. signify where Wolverine got that jacket and buckle he always wears in the normal X movies.
 
Again, there are NOT multiple ENDINGS. There are multiple extra scenes at the end. Every movie ends the same way. So far, there's two extra scenes: one involving Deadpool and one involving Wolverine.

Thank you! I'm not alone. I also felt it got the Spiderman 3 treatment. Way to many heroes with horrible character choices and zero story building. Will.i.am says Hi...
