So we get the mouthy Deadpool that's incapable of shutting up, then he gets disfigured (YAY!) but ends up without a mouth (BOO!) and ends up an optic blast firing Baraka look alike sans teeth (WTF?!).
I just hope during the reshoots and pickups they made sure that Logan does not kill him and he gets his mouth back but stays all nasty looking and dons his costume at the end.
By the way, I can't recall, did Deadpool ever have mutant powers before they added Logan's DNA to him?
Normally I'd say it doesn't need to be R but in this case I wouldn't mind if only so they can show Logan as vicious as possible. It doesn't need to be a hard R but I'd love the fight between Logan and Creed to be as brutal and bloody as possible.

Anytime anyone mentions "2 hours" or "rated R" to chris_sc77 is because those are the only films he watches.

Re: Wolverine - Solo
Yeah, I'm well aware of that long running gag. Still, the final fight between Creed and Logan could benefit from an R rated (or very close to it) approach given the sheer level of hatred and savagery between the two. This just happens to be one case where R might be better.
As for the runtime, 2 hours seems right in this case given the scope of the story. It could even be 20 minutes longer just to give it room to breathe. However, not every movie benefits from 2 hours. Imagine how much Taken would have sucked if it had been padded to 2 hours rather than the lean 90 minutes of asskickery it is.

Re: Wolverine - Solo
a wolverine movie does need to be R
X2 was a tad lame in that he's slicing and dicing people and there's no blood
that trailer was sweet
was that kid with the glasses cyclops?

Re: Wolverine - Solo
Yeah, that's Cyclops. I guess they'll do a variation of his head injury to explain why doesn't remember Wolverine during the events of X-Men. Given how much he disliked him in X-Men, X2, and X-Men: The Last Stand, you figured Cyclops would rub it in Wolverine's face that he knows who he was (at least during his Weapon X days).

Re: Wolverine - Solo
Dunno if this sways anyone's fears, but I saw new Wolverine movie toys at Walgreen's this weekend, including one of Deadpool in his classic red outfit. Now, we all know movie toy lines based on other source material tend to include characters who don't actually appear in the film, but maybe this is a good sign.

On top of that, I can't recall any mature readers Wolverine comics. Maybe Havok/Wolverine Meltdown was, I can't recall, but Marvel has always used creative shadows and cutaways to keep Wolverine firmly PG-13 friendly.

Wife has determined that she must see Wolverine for our 28th anniversary in May.
Besides Logan, Gambit was always my son's favorite growing up.
I don't know about you guys, but we're probably going to see movies in the theater from May-August than we have in many years....

Wow. That is terrible.
So I guess since Deadpool in the comics had mentioned that Ryan Reynolds should have protrayed him in a movie, he will now bitch and moan about how they totally screwed up the character in this movie.

Re: Wolverine - Solo
Trailer looks good. I just hope they spend plenty of quiet time telling a story and it doesn't get to icky and bloated. The two X-Men movies did all of that stuff really well. Just seeing Wolverine cutting apart shit with his claws isn't enough.
When I first heard about this a 2-3 years ago, I didn't think it'd get off the ground.

Re: Wolverine - Solo
I can understand maybe not having a few trademarks like the suit looking different or something, but completely changing a character around like this is retarded. It's like in X3 where they called those mutants Calisto or Psylocke. If you're not going to be true to the character, why the fuck call it the same name!

Re: Wolverine - Solo
So is there any scene in the movie in which Deadpool is wearing his mask?
I don't expect much when the trailer has at least 4 scenes of Wolverine walking away from some mega-explosion in the background. Action movies still do that? I thought that was an 80s/90s thing. It's very parody seeing that now.
Is anyone else disturbed by Wolverine's claws? They look like a mixture of cardboard painted gray and CGI.
Well at least they got Gambit right.

Re: Wolverine - Solo
I've been getting pretty excited for this one - but this Deadpool/Weapon XI stuff has me worried... Deadpool is one of the coolest characters and if they fuck him up, I'm going to be mad as hell.

I agree that this image is getting pretty old, but it was also used in Iron Man. I'm not sure it ever died.

Re: Wolverine - Solo
I think it only occurred once in Iron Man. And that scene still came of as pretty cool... I think having it happen 3 or more times in one film would be pushing it, but who knows.
