X-Men Origins: Wolverine trailer
- Thread starter Toro
- Start date
Maybe to a comic purest like yourself, but casual action movie goers who simply know who Wolverine is = hit at the box office.
I am not into comics at ALL. I have, for the most part, enjoyed the comic-to-movie adaptions (give or take a Daredevil here in and there) and could really give a fuck less if they stay true to the comic...cus i dont KNOW the comics in and out.

I am able to separate films as comic adaptations and action films. You can look at it as a Wolverine movie or an Action movie. If I look at it either way I won't like it. The X-men movies sucked even more as action movies than they did as comic adaptations.
I'm also able to separate a critique of quality film from mindless entertainment. But as far as mindless entertainment goes - there were a lot of more enjoyable movie going experiences that I gladly picked over X-men and that i'll pick over Wolverine too.
Again because a movie is a hit at the box office does not make it good. This movie will make a ton of money, but will not be good.

This may be so, but dont you think you have a littel bit of bias going IN to a movie like this? We are all aware of your harsh critiquing of movies. To say that you have no predispositon on a movie like this is hard to believe.
And if you didnt like Wolverine going in as a character, what would possibly make you think you would like him in an X-Men movie or a movie specifically ABOUT him? Again, predisposition.
Of course thats true and i apologize if i made that distinction. I was simply saying that the average movie goer will go and watch this movie and most likely find it entertainment, ignoring the fact that this movie is based on a comic book that has been around for 60 years.

Sure I have bias, but I also understand intent and creative license. I went and saw Wanted and enjoyed it. I enjoyed it as an action movie. If I would have judged it based on it’s loyalty to the source material, my hatred of Common, etc, I would have given it an F-. Instead it is currently in the top 3 movies I’ve seen this year.
My enjoyment of the Wanted comics is far greater than X-men. And my enjoyment of X-men was always greater than Iron Man. Yet, I think Iron Man was the best comic to movie adaptation yet made and enjoyed it as a movie more than Wanted or X-men.
If I ranked the movies it would look something like:
Action Movie
1. Wanted
2. Iron Man
3. X-men
Loyalty to the Comic:
1. Iron Man
2. X-men
3. Wanted
Overall enjoyment of the movie:
1. Iron Man
2. Wanted
5,000. X-men
I never liked Wolverine as an individual character in the comics and especially the movie, but I liked the X-men comics and thought he fit well when considering the X-men as a whole. I enjoy the supporting characters around him and his origins story. Even though I don’t like the character of Wolverine I would go see this movie if I thought the supporting characters would be well represented (based off prior knowledge from the X-men movies they won’t be) or that the movie would be any good (again based off prior knowledge from the X-men movies it won’t be).
I don’t own a single Iron Man comic, yet went and saw a movie specifically ABOUT him and thoroughly enjoyed it both as a movie and a comic adaptation.

Deadpool's in it, that's dope, with Deadpool in it the movie better have an R rating, they did it with Punisher and that shit was dope as fuck, my favorite comic movie of the year, if you haven't seen Punisher go check that shit out...
