		<description>Wolverine was the wost SuperHero movie, ever..why, it had so much more to pull from and gave less overall and it cost so freaking much..I just saw the new Star Trek movie, and it kicked ASS and cost less than half to make.

Wolverine was even worse than Electra, and that&#039;s pretty bad. 

I love comics, and this movie just bit the big one.</description>

		<description>Any comments on the multiple stinger endings? There are supposdly four, and the reason for the last minute reshoots. The one I saw was Logan in a bar &quot;drinking to remember.&quot; Yeah, kinda lame. My buddy saw Weapon XI put his head back on and open his eyes and go &quot;shhh...&quot; as his mouth was ripped open. Anyone see the other two?</description>

		<description>Jim, people are holding on to hope that Weapon XI wasn not deadpool.  

Wolverine says &quot;wade is that you&quot; and there is no resolution to that.

We will see what happens.  They are considering a Deadpool movie, and with this fan reaction he better be more like Wade Wilson was in this film. 

As for Frost being SilverFox&#039;s sister... it could have been that Frost was adopted or she was a bff type sister etc.  

Either way, I don&#039;t mind that they made them sisters.  They made wolverine and sabertooth brothers... so why not.  Frost&#039;s past is so hidden in mystery, she could very well have. 

This Frost seems to be mutating backwards from her comic book incarnation.  Emma was a telepath who used her powers to gain wealth and social standing, later her power mutated and she could turn her skin to diamonds.  This Emma didn&#039;t appear to have mental powers, just the diamond skin.</description>

		<description>My Top Five reasons X-men 3 was better than Wolverine Origins:

1. as bad as it was, X3 actually had a plot that you could follow with one scene leading directly into the next. Origins was nothing but a series of random events in Wolverine&#039;s life strung together with barely a rhyme, reason or any context.

2. At least X3 had villains we liked and even may have cared about: Magneto, Mystique, ect.
Who exactly were the main villains in Wolverine again and why did we care?

3. With all the problems people had with X3&#039;s story you didn&#039;t hear much complaining about new characters. Most people seemed to like how they did Juggernaut, Beast, ect. Does anyone like the interpretations of Origins new characters?

4. When the makers of X3 realized they weren&#039;t going to have the budget to do X2&#039;s special effects they decided to use as many practical efects as possible instead. ie. Wire work stunts, real claws.
Wolverine origins decided instead to do a rush job with cheap looking half-assed CGI that looked 12 years out of date. X3&#039;s effects may have looked cheaper but at least they looked more &quot;realistic&quot;.

5. After Tom Rothman &amp; FOX cut the budget of X3, X3 looked exactly like it cost that amount to make and not a penny more.
Origins cost $150 MILLION? dollars to make and for the life of me I can&#039;t figure out where the Hell all that money went!!!
It didn&#039;t go to the talent because Halle Berry wasn&#039;t here this time to demand a zillion dollars and all but Hugh Jackman were not high dollar talent.</description>

		<description>So my comment was off-topic? That&#039;s my guess since it was deleted. Maybe it was an error. I don&#039;t recall the exact wording, but I suggested that I would like to see someone talk about how this movie was successful enough to recover it&#039;s budget in one weekend, despite having poor buzz AND despite it being leaked online weeks prior to release. Maybe they could talk about how this may prove that piracy is not the cause for movies performing poorly in theatres and therefore, raising the cost of the ticket price isn&#039;t necessary to offset the loss from piracy. In fact, they may have no idea why some movies do poorly. It&#039;s not because the movies are bad because even movies that the majority consider bad have done well (the Saw sequels, Epic Movie and etc) and good movies have done poorly.</description>

		<description>And why was Kayla SilverFox&#039;s sister in the film Emma Frost???

Just ANOTHER was to JAM in a popular mutant with no regard for good writing, story, OR comic book history.

I am betting the next X-Franchise film will simply be Proffessor X rolling down the road for 120 minutes with random mutants jumping out, shouting their name, using their power, and then running away...

&quot;Hey Charles, it me... BISHOP...  ZZZZAP!   See ya!&quot;   &quot;Heya Proffessor, its me... CANNONBALL... WOOOOOOSH... Bye y&#039;all&quot;  Etc.</description>

		<description>And, yes, the guy (Weapon XI) at the end WAS indeed played by a different actor, but i think it was the films intention for it to still be &quot;Wade Wilson / Deadpool&quot; just the Weapon XI version...</description>

		<description>Unless i saw a different film, it appeared that &quot;Wade Wilson&quot; was reborn in the film as the guy with optic blasts and blades in his arms... which was dumb as shit.  (Wolvie even says &quot;Wade? Is that you?&quot;)

Wade Wilson was a mercenary.  He developed cancer and the Weapon X project said they could provide a cure... which was an attempt to recreate wolverine&#039;s healing factor by extracting a smaple of Wolverines DNA/cells and injecting it into Wilson (Who at times was dubbed Weapon XI).  It cured him, but his constantly &quot;regenerating&quot; cells caused him to look all disfigured (kinda like a burn victim).  He was also subject to physical torture/experiments to test his abilities.  As a result he went kinda nuts.

So, while always kinda smart ass and talkative, he was now just f*cked in the head too.

I DONT KNOW WHY, in the movie, they made him some super experiment... and SEALED his mouth?!? (um... Merc with the Mouth, anyone?)  They easily could have credated &quot;The Mimic&quot; (An Xman villian who could mimic the powers of other mutants) or Weapon XIII.  To me they were just lazy and fucked up the Deadpool character.

Also, HAZMAT, that picture is a picture of DAKEN, Wolverines son... (Not Weapon XI / Deadpool)

Overall i say this film was like a 5.5/10.  The barely touched on his history (more stuff from the far past would have been nice.) And they glossed over the whole Weapon X/Memory Alteration/Cyber helmet phase which should have been MOST of the film.  And they didnt include ANY of his time in the far east.  So while this film was by no means terrible, it was a bit disappointing for me, mainly because i feel they missed quite a few opportunities to make this something really special.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t forget the merchandising. Every kid that sees it and gets the new action figure helps pay the budget.</description>
