I hope it's better than what that trailer showed. I'll probably wait for rental on this.

I agree...

I'd wait until an official trailer is out. The crowd noise is really a drawback.

Looks better than X3, but don't know if that is saying much. Hopefully this isn't an X3ing of Wolverine though.

I think it looks great, better than any other spin-off movie at least. My only question is whether this would make Wolvie's reactions to the X-Men in the first movie not make as much sense. Maybe he was just surprised Xavier's school was as pure and good as it was, compared to what he'd been through earlier?

Not to mention his reactions to Sabertooth.

Gambit + Deadpool in a movie focused on Wolvie is more than enough for me.

Well, at the start of X-Men it seemed like he forgot most of his past already so it isn't too big of a deal. Sabertooth, on the otherhand, has a clear look of recognition, especially with Wolvie's dogtags.

Just watched the footage. Looks badass. If they really pull it off I could see this being as good as, if not better, than X2. Wolverine has always been the main draw factor for the X-Men films, so a film focused entirely on his character, done right, has great potential. Much more so than, say, the proposed Magento film.

this will suck big if it's rated pg-13. the wolverine and sabretooth character's are the bloodiest characters in comics. leave it to Fox to screw up this franchise. the day marvel studios gets the x-men franchise back is the day that these characters will resemble the source material. gambit and blob had no, let me repeat no connection to wolverine's past.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say there's not one studio that would have made this movie rated R.

But it's got Blob so it's already rated R for retarded!

Seriously, why can't people just wait to judge a finished product before they bitch? It's just a never-ending cycle and it's rather tiresome.

Agreed. Plus, when Wolverine catched Sabertooth's scent after the crash, he immediately pops his claws. You could argue that he would have done this if he caught any strange scent, but I always looked at it more like a sense memory. While his memories of past encounters with Sabertooth may be gone, the instinct of "this scent = trouble" led him to take a defensive posture.

By the by - if Leiv Shriber knocks Sabertooth out of the park, any chance we could digitally insert him over Tyler Mane in future X-men rereleases?

then they shouldn't be doing it. alot of r-rated movies have banked large at the box office so the rating is meaningless. it's a skip for me. been reading wolverine since barry windsor-smith was writing him, the guy rips guts out of enemies, severs heads, limbs, ect..... could you imagine sin city rated pg-13. could you imagine marv being nuetered. it would've sucked hard.

I thought the trailer looked great and I'm looking forward to this. I'm also a fan of the Gambit character so even though I didn't scream out loud, I was really excited to see him.

Speaking of screams....I don't get all the, "the audience screams" comments and all that. What does that have to do with anything?

Speaking of which...Did anybody check out Sin City yesterday on MTV? I was curious to see how much butchering the edit job was gonna be, but to my surprise, only 2 violent shots were edited from "Hard Goodbye". The axe wound to the head and the dog eating it's owner. That's it! If they were able to get away with that much on an edited version, then it looks like the line between Pg-13 and an R will get very blurry soon.

Back to Wolverine, it does look a little overcrowded for a solo character movie. But hopefully my Wolvie/Sabretooth comics will now rise in value.

MTV could show it uncensored if they really wanted to, it's Cable, no restrictions except self-imposed ones.

I'm guessing they also framed out my two favorite parts of that movie (both belonging to Miss Gugino )

If by "comics" you mean only X-men related comics, then possibly.

If by "comics" you mean all comics, then no.

In all comics. Wolverine in his solo book is not the same tame wolverine that plays all nice with xavier and his brood. the wolverine titles are some of the hardest stuff in marvel, DC, dark horse, ect....never confuse the marvel knight titles/max titles to the rest of the marvel titles.
