X-Men Origins: Wolverine


Once again we are joined by railing seat's very own Ivan, all the way from sunny Croatia!

Aloe says:
SNIKT! SNIKT!!
tony says:
BESERKER BARRAGE!!! BESERKER BARAGE!!!
Ivan says:
DRILL CLAW!
tony says:
ok before we start
tony says:
i would like to say how much i hate watching this type of big film on opening day
tony says:
full theatres really suck... i sat beside a guy that either went to a seafood buffet, or works at a lobster smoking factory... and he kept hogging my railing!
Aloe says:
I wanted to see little kids dressed up as wolverine
tony says:
well someone did bring a baby! sigh... at 10 pm no less
tony says:
ok to the movie... what did u guys think?
Ivan says:
I think that one day they'll make a comic book movie the way I think it should be in my head
Ivan says:
Until then, I'll be content with a mouthless deadpool
Aloe says:
I enjoyed it, plenty of adamantium action!
Aloe says:
Deadpool was great, till they replaced him with Baraka from Mortal Combat
Ivan says:
why do they always have to ruin a perfectly good character? Deadpool is a badass in his own right, and this movie made him seem like a retarded (if that's possible) version of mike myers
tony says:
i read wolverine origins.. and i thought it was mediocre at best.. and now i watched wolverine origins and i feel the same way
tony says:
yes i agree with both of u
Aloe says:
The opening was good too, maybe borrowing something from Watchmen
Ivan says:
yeah, a brief history lesson is always fun
Aloe says:
it further cemented the fact that Logan is not the smartest of the xmen, took the animal 3 theatres of war to realize, hey! my brother, really really likes killing
Ivan says:
You know you make a really good point Al. Some would say he's not the sharpest claw in the toolshed
Ivan says:
ZING!
Ivan says:
until they go adamantium on his ass
Aloe says:
Ah hunnnnh {
tony says:
yeah don't get me wrong hugh jackman is a badass wolverine and he did a great job.. but anytime u throw a love side-plot for a badass... its like hotdog ingredients.. i dont care or ever want to know about it.
Ivan says:
unless it's mustard!
tony says:
condiments are like throwing another badass into the fray.. so that's acceptable
tony says:
i really didnt think i'd like the guy that played sabretooth.. but he was not bad... the first time he did the crawling thing made me laugh though.. it looked stupid
Ivan says:
Yeah, in my expert opinion I think they should have CGId sabretooth completely
Ivan says:

He's way too fn badass in the comicbooks to be played by some human dude
Ivan says:
Can I take a guess at your favorite character in the movie? I think the both of you will agree when I say Will I. Am stole the show!
Aloe says:
I thought another black eye pea retard was going to ruin another film
Aloe says:
but he gets a pass from me
tony says:
was he supposed to be nightcrawler?
Ivan says:
nightcrawler is sprechen zi deutch
tony says:
i think the mpaa should alarm the general public everytime a black eye pea is in a movie.. and they should ban the film if its fergie
Ivan says:
Agreed, i had no idea till i saw his dbag name during opening credits
Ivan says:
i was completely ambushed
tony says:
being a black eye pea isnt a crime i realize...

though it should be
Aloe says:
better than that fugly dood playing vega
tony says:
al i want to get your reaction on the emma frost... another person i thought should've been cg'd.. i know you;re a big fan of hers
tony says:
and ivan as the most knowledgeable comic person here... how accurate was this?
Aloe says:
I can't expect a smoking hot version of the White Queen appearing in an origin film...she still does in my mind...full frontal Jim Lee version...mmmmmm
Ivan says:
it was accurate in that she had the diamond-like transformation ability
Ivan says:
as for the rest of the movie again, i was really disappointed with deadpool
Ivan says:
he's supposed to be a really funny, retarded dude who does cool things
Ivan says:
in the movie he was another mimic type dude with 2909 powers
tony says:
would u agree that striker was pretty awesome tho? i love bryan cox.. but this guy is better
Ivan says:
he played the part of the scumbag perfectly
Ivan says:
he's got such a scumbag face and it just screams "throat punch me please"
tony says:
now i'm gonna say something that might not be so popular... but gambit should've been erased from the film completely.. it seems like they threw him in there just so people could be like, "oh i remember that guy! he throws cards and hes a douche!"
Ivan says:
the same with cyclops
tony says:
yep!
Ivan says:
anything that allows people to say "oh yeah, i know that" makes me throw up
Ivan says:
i hate fluff
Ivan says:
except marshmallow fluff
Aloe says:
the gambit in this film was = to that of a pimp
Aloe says:
magic stick and all
tony says:
BUT al did tell me that he thought wolverine was gonna die when they put the admantium in him... he was calling for the credits
Ivan says:
al, i'm disappointed man
Aloe says:
it was a good call
tony says:
i said , "al how do you think he becomes an x-men then?"

to that he replied, "he's a x-man?"
Ivan says:
defend yourself!
Ivan says:
(insert 5 min silence)
tony says:
we've lost him man.. he's looking at emma frost pictures
Aloe says:
huh
Aloe says:
Emma
Ivan says:
he's fugginbuggin
Aloe says:
so Xavier freaked me out
Aloe says:
walking around all young and shit
Ivan says:
yeah, that was creepy as shit
Aloe says:
the man never looked like that even on the pilot episode of Star Trek TNG...all taught and shiny
Ivan says:
that voice he used to communicate with Scott made me push the alarm
tony says:
he looked like mr. clean
Ivan says:
"can you hear me scott? i want to take you out for strawberry-shortcake ice cream"
tony says:
yeah he looked transulucent... ok well i'm gonna give this film a 7.... wouldve been maybe an 8.. but love plot was so stupid and sickening.. jackmans portrayal is flat on tho... 7/10
Aloe says:
7.5/10 for me, it made up for X-3: Not Part of the Series
Ivan says:
I agree with Tony and I will give this movie a 7 as well. I also thought the final battle was kinda cheesy. Logan would never fight to the death on top of those nuclear smoke pipe thingy
tony says:
BESERKER BARRAGE!!! BESERKER BARRAGE!!! TORNADOE POWER!!! TORNADOE POWER!!!!
Ivan says:
DRILL CLAW!
Aloe says:
