Top Ten Reasons X-Men Origins: Wolverine Sucked Monkey Ass

Posted on 04 June 2009 by Kriss

wolverine_originsI know X-Men Orgins:  Wolverine came out over a month ago.  I know you’re thinking that this is “a little late”.  Well, fuck that.  It’s taken a month for my blood pressure to lower enough and for my brain to comprehend the complete fuckery I saw on the big screen.  Honestly, I’m not that surprised of the extra large dung pile that Wolverine turned into.  I think 20th Century Fox is a little pissed that Marvel decided to open up their own studio and make their own movies (Hence why The Incredible Hulk was vastly superior to its predecessor and why Ironman go so much praise).  It’s not just 20th Century Fox.  All the Studios that had rights to Marvel movies before Marvel went its own route are doing this.  It became obvious to me when Lions Gate Entertainment released that joke they called a Punisher movie.  They figured that since they won’t be getting any other Marvel Comic Book Rights they might as well run the one they already have the rights to into the ground.  Look for Spiderman 4 to come out where it’s really an ice capades musical with Spiderman skating around on ice in a tutu.

So my hopes weren’t too high for Wolverine (and they are even lower for the Magneto movie that will be coming out next).  But hell, I wasn’t expecting this much of a travesty.  I honestly don’t know what the fuck they were thinking because Wolverine is one of the most famous and loved characters in comic books…so fucking up his movie should be a big “No No”.  Let me run through what “grinded my gears” about this craptacular mess they called cinema:

*Standard Warning* There are spoilers in this, so if you somehow still have a desire to see this movie and don’t want to heed my warning that it’s a craptacular mess, then stop now

#10  Cyclops
Okay, why the fuck is Scott Summers in this movie?  It makes no gotdamn sense.  First off, it was completely unnecessary.  No, I’m not thrilled with the whole “stealing” mutant powers angle but fine, you want to do that it’s okay.  Its been done in the comics (and in video games, X-Men Legends II).  But you shouldn’t just throw in a young Cyclops in there in some cheap attempt to appease the X-Men fan base.  Why? Because it opens up more plot holes than a cheap porno.  For instance, if Cyclops was experimented on during the Weapon X program (which he obviously was because his powers were taken) then how come he doesn’t remember Wolverine or Sabertooth?  Okay, maybe, MAYBE, you can explain why he doesn’t remember Wolverine.  Technically they were never introduced and Cyclops was blindfolded when Logan rescues him.  But you mean to tell me that none of the other kid mutants rescued ever told Scott “Hey, some guy named Logan with foot long indestructible claws freed us from the cages.”  I mean, Scott Summers, eventually leader of the X-Men never wonders how the fuck he escaped certain death as a teenager?  Come the fuck on.  But okay…I’ll let the Wolverine reference slide.  But what about not recognizing Sabertooth?  Come on.  Sabertooth chases him down the hall and Cyclops cuts his High School in half.  Being chased by a mutant named after a prehistoric jungle cat not withstanding, I don’t know any adolescent that would forget decimating their High School.

#9 Emma Frost
Another example of trying to cram familiar characters into this movie just because instead of really understanding who the fuck they were.  Emma Frost is considered to have telepathic abilities that rival that of…CHARLES FUCKING XAVIER.  But the assclowns who created this movie decided instead to focus on her secondary power, hardening her skin to a diamond form.  What the fuck kind of bullshit is that?  That’s like remaking Star Wars and having Yoda speak with a British accent using perfectly formed and grammatically correct sentences.  I guess the reason that this pissed me off was because it was just completely unnecessary.  She’s only in this movie for two reasons:

1.  As an “Ah Ha!!” moment when Kayla says “That’s my sister…Emma” (I won’t mention how Kayla’s last name is ‘Silverfox’ and somehow she’s now related to Emma Frost…and the head nurse is named Dr. Carol Frost…WTF???)

2.  To act as a human shield for Scott to blast the soldiers

#2 Really bothers me because they didn’t need Frost to have Diamond skin for this part of the script.  There’s been plenty of times when Emma Frost, Jean Grey and other telepaths have directed Cyclops’ optic blasts.  They could have done it here in this movie.  Except whoever wrote this script probably hasn’t picked up a X-Men comic EVER.

#8 William Stryker
Okay, maybe this is a nick picky beef, but while I know the movies are suppose to be set 20 years apart, Danny Huston looks and sounds nothing like a younger version of Brian Cox.  Not to mention, I don’t understand how a soldier that murdered his commanding officer, lost a bunch of “dangerous mutants”, created a disaster on 3 Mile Island, lied about having a mutant for a son and is clearly a nutcase would then be released from jail and then given command of a military unit to launch an assault against mutants (X-Men II).  Its especially puzzling when Logan and Victor are “executed” at the beginning of the movie for assaulting a superior officer.  So if Stryker KILLED an officer…wouldn’t he have faced the same fate?

#7 Special Effects
It’s 2009.  We have made wondrous advances in special effects.  Tell me why then, in this movie does it look like Sabertooth is floating on air when he runs up buildings or jumps in the air?  You mean to tell me you couldn’t make it less obvious he was on ropes?  Agent Zero jumping in the air and shooting all the guards?  Again…other “WTF was that shit?” moment.  And don’t get me started on that horrible sequence with Fred Dukes taking the tank out.  I half expected a guy in a Godzilla suit to come out at some point in the movie.   Compare the graphics in this movie and X-men 3: The Last Stand with X-men United.  The opening sequence with Nightcrawler > then most of the scenes in the other two movies combined.

#6 Gambit’s accent
Why didn’t any of the first three X-Men movies put Gambit in them?  Because he’s one of those characters where if you fuck him up, you’ll never be forgiven.  Kinda like how the Goldmans will never forgive a certain big black former NFL Hall of Famer.  Sure Taylor Kitsch, looked a good Gambit and the fight scene with Wolverine was cool…but it all went to shit when he opened his mouth.  I don’t get it.  In the first X-Men movie they had Halle Berry as Storm break out the worse Jamaican accent I’ve heard since Ms. Cleo (adding to that insult was that Ororo is from Africa not some Caribbean island), now in this movie, they have a character that is suppose to have a thick distinguishable accent…and its nonexistent.  What is this Bizzarro World?

#5 No Blood
Again, this is one of those things where I understand why they did what they did…I just don’t like it.  I actually blame the rating board.  One thing they did get right in this movie is the violence.  This isn’t a movie to take your 86 year old grandma to unless you’re deliberately trying to give her a heart attack so you can get a hold of that insurance money.  So to me, it makes no sense saying that this movie is PG-13 with all that violence just because there isn’t any blood.  Add blood and it has to be an R-Rated movie.  WTH?  This idea that we have to “think of the children” is asinine.  If anything its detrimental.  Wolverine stabs Sabertooth through the hand with his adamantium claws and there’s no blood.  Now some kid thinks they can stab their friend in the hand with a “miracle blade” and it’ll be okay.  Also, I think the Blade movies showed us that it’s okay to make a comic book movie for a violent character R-Rated.  Wolverine isn’t a “kiddie character” like Spiderman or Superman.  He has three 1-foot long incredibly sharp, indestructible blades on the back of his hands and goes into berserker rages that sends him into violent episodes. Think a coked out butcher with two machetes….on PCP.  Making this into a kid friendly movie is like putting a pedophile in a clown suit and giving him a job driving an ice cream truck.

#4 Decapitation?

Did I miss the part where they infused adamantium, an indestructible metal alloy, to Wolverine’s skull? Oh I didn’t?  That really happened?  Oh okay…cause I’m trying to figure out if someone has an indestructible skeletal structure…HOW THE FUCK DO YOU CUT THEIR HEAD OFF?????  It seemed like a recurring theme in this movie that somehow the way to kill Wolverine would be to cut his head off.  I’m sorry, am I watching Wolverine or Highlander?  I was expecting Duncan MacLeod (”…of the clan MacLeod”….lol…I’m such a nerd) to appear shouting “There can be only one” (A missed opportunity cause wouldn’t it have been hilarious if Deadpool shouted that out in his fight with Wolverine…too bad he couldn’t talk…more on that later).  Now I’m not medical student and I’m not the end all be all on anatomy…but seems that if one was to cut someone’s head off, you’d have to cut through bone…and if that someone had an indestructible metal alloy on their bone…then you wouldn’t be able to cut through it.  Now maybe Stryker had the scientist build a “weak spot” into the adamantium bonding process ala The Death Star.  You know, if you’re fighting Wolverine under perfect weather conditions and the wind is just blowing just right and you can hear Obi Wan Kenobi’s voice telling you to “Use the Force”, you might be able to get a lucky swing off and cut Wolverine precisely at the joints where there is possibly no adamantium.  Of course when Deadpool is trying to cut off Wolverine’s head, unless they also had kidnapped Superman and stolen his X-Ray vision, he wouldn’t have been able to see that weak spot which leads me to believe that they were trying to imply that adamantium could cut through adamantium.  Which again, makes no sense because not only would that mean Wolverine would have cut his claws off the first time he touched them together but that he might have lopped off his arms the first time he drew his claws.  Obviously adamantium can’t cut adamantium…which leads me to another puzzling part of the movie…

#3 Adamantium cause memory lost?
Again, I’m confused.  Obviously Logan’s skull is encased in indestructible adamantium (see a pattern here? Keyword INDESTRUCTABLE).  He damn near knocks out Fred Dukes with a headbutt because of it.  And as I said above, adamantium can’t cut adamantium.  It doesn’t even dent it.  So please tell me how an adamantium bullet is going to do anything other than leave Wolverine with a nasty scratch that will heal in about 5 seconds.  How in the hell does Wolverine lose his memory off of that shit? I mean, the whole purpose of your skull is to protect the soft brain tissue inside.  So again, if your brain is encased in an impenetrable, indestructible metal alloy HOW THE FUCK DOES A BULLET CAUSE YOU TO LOSE MEMORY? Maybe, MAYBE you get a headache from that shit.  But completely losing your memory?  Impossible.  Hulk, probably the strongest being EVER CREATED has been able to DENT adamantium.  WTF is a bullet going to do? And Logan is not only suppose to not remember his past, but also have fake memories implanted.  I got it…maybe the adamantium bullets, the ones that can’t really penatrate adamantium, also include a computer chip with fake memories and then they….yeah…I know…sounds like bullshit to me too.  Its like the writers got to the end of the movie and said “Fuck it…we’re going to do something so unbelievable, when the audience’s mouths open in disbelief, we’re going to take a giant shit in it.”

#2 Charles Xavier
The runner up to this Top Ten list revisits the same basic question from the first two things I talked about.  Why put in a familiar face and shit on continuity and set X-Men history just for a cheap cameo?  Charles Xavier’s appearance in this movie is more than mind boggling, its downright criminal.  Where to begin?  How about we start with this:  Charles Xavier is an Alpha level mutant…probably the World’s most powerful telepath.  Hell, he’s so powerful, in the comic books he subconsciously creates a powerful psonic being Onslaught.  Even in the movies his power is shown.  Several times Professor X shows that he’s able to telepathically induce temporary mental and/or physical paralysis.  At the end of the second movie, he’s been drugged and obviously fatigued, yet he’s still able to get his entire team into the gotdamn WHITE HOUSE and demonstrate this power.  So you want me to believe, that this Charles Xavier (with fully functional legs) couldn’t get Cyclops and the rest of the young mutants out sooner?  Obviously he knew they were there and he was tracking Scott.  Which is another thing.  The first 5 students of Charles Xavier’s School for the Gifted were Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), Cyclops, Beast, Iceman and Angel.  Obviously they screwed this up in the first three movies with the last two.  But in this movie, they just completely shitted on that.  Who the fuck were those other kids?  Did they just go home and back to their lives?  Emma Frost’s sister died, you mean to tell me Charles Xavier was just going to say “nope, I only came for Scott.” Then on top of all that…all those little fuckers weren’t going to fit in that small ass helicopter….

#1 Deadpool
You pick Ryan Reynolds, an actor who is type cast to play the asshole motor mouth who gets the job done but can’t shut the fuck up.  That’s the role he plays in all his movies. Waiting, Blade Trinity, etc. Just like Robert Downey Jr. was born to play an alcoholic billionaire playboy in Tony Stark…Reynolds was born to play the overly verbose Wade Wilson.  So why oh why, in the final scenes is Deadpool’s mouth sewn shut?  I mean, we only get 5 minutes max with Reynolds being the wise cracking asshole we expected from Deadpool.  Next time we see Wade Wilson he’s got his mouth sewn shut, has Darth Maul-like body markings and he is wearing red outpatient hospital pants. What they did would be like taking away the fact that Peter Parker is a boy genius and created his own web shooters and web solution and instead made him have some kind of organic web shooters that grew under the palms of his hands.  It would be that ludicrous…wait a minute…oh that’s right.  You guys fucked that up too.  Okay, fine, you picked the perfect guy to play Deadpool and the neutered his best qualification for playing Deadpool (It wasn’t even Ryan Reynolds who played Deadpool at the end. So what the fuck was the point of evening casting him?).  I might have been able to live with that if they hadn’t decided to then turn Deadpool into some kind of mutant Frankenstein.  Okay, you decided to give him teleporting powers.  In the comic books he uses a personal teleporting device but I can live with making it one of his powers.  Giving him Wolverine’s healing factor, again, not a problem…that’s how it was suppose to be.  But giving him Cyclop’s optic blasts?  What the fuck was that shit?  And why the fuck was that even necessary?  And why the fuck did they implant adamantium Katana blades into him?  Again, even more unnecessary.  Then there’s another problem.  In X-Men 2 when Stryker is leaving Lady Deathstrike to fight Wolverine, he says “I used to think you were one of a kind…I was wrong”. Now I always took that to mean that he was able to infuse adamantium into Lady Deathstrike because of her healing factor.  But wait a fucking minute, this dude created Weapon XI, Deadpool…so why the fuck would he say that he thought Logan was one of a kind?  Obviously he knew that wasn’t true.  But back to the Deadpool fuckfest.  Okay, so you can insert arm length long adamantium katanas into his arms but you can’t infuse it on his whole body?  Obviously his bones weren’t laced cause then we run into the same “How the fuck do you decapitate someone with an adamantium skeleton?” problem.  And just how was he able to extend and retract those blades?  Wolverine had bone claws already, Wade Wilson didn’t have that, so just how were they able to extend and retract like that? And did I mention I’m really pissed about giving him Cyclop’s optic blast? They’re suppose to be making a Deadpool movie where apparently he’s able to talk. Cool…but how the fuck do you explain away him not having those powers anymore?  Maybe they’ll put Cable in the movie and he’ll Time Travel back and kill the writers for even thinking about putting this travesty out.

Fuck you 20th Centure Fox…FUCK YOU!!!

    I still think the dude from Lost, James Sawyer should have played gambit. When you google gambit, his picture comes up.

  2. NC Chris Says:

    I’ve always wanted to see Psylocke in a movie, but sadly they have not ever put her in one; they’d probably fuck her up badly too. Oh, what it would be to be 12 again and waiting for a Psylocke story so I could see her scantily-clad ass, haha.

  3. Mr. Noface Says:

    Great post eviscerating such a craptacular movie! There are so many things wrong with this movie that one would have an aneurism trying to reconcile them all. For example, if Cyclops is a in high school and Emma frost seems to be in his teens, why the hell is Gambit a full grown man??? That is just one of many questions that pulled me out of the movie (more so than the craptastic special effects).

    @NC Chris

    Psylocke was in X-men: The Last Stand, she was the Asian chick with purple streaks in her hair that rolled with Spike (the Asian porcupine dude) and Arc-Light (the manly looking chick). Yeah, they screwed her character over too (her power was just the ability to camouflage herself).

  4. Aimee J Says:

    YES!!! You have hit the mark with this top 10 list.

    10. When I heard they were bringing in Cyclops, I was beyond angry. You go and kill the man in X3 (worst Marvel movie although it rivals Spiderman 3….well there are others in the running) and then you want to try and “rectify” it by bringing him back in this backstory?!?! Are you kidding me? Not many folks like Cyclops but he’s a fave of mine and all Fox has done is disrespect his character (Marvel too for that matter). For me this was higher on the list of annoyances but mostly b/c he’s one of my favorites.

    9. Emma Frost. Seriously?

    6. I’ll reluctantly give Taylor Kitsch credit for attempting to be Gambit but I think the accent defines the character and here it was less than blah.

    3. I was going to give them this b/c I took it as the shot shook his brain up so much as to cause memory loss. This was a give though b/c there’s no way Stryker could know that that is what would happen.

    2. I get that Professor X is supposed to “know” about Logan’s past but is this really how you want to explain it? I mean come on. He has technology that is up there with Shi’ar technology. Fox has twisted the origins of the X-men now and to me that is unacceptable. I’ve heard a rumor that they may do an X-Men Origins (X-Men: First Class) but that’s not going to work for me. They’ve already done too much damage to this franchise and I wish someone would take Marvel movies away from Fox Studios. The redo of the Incredible Hulk was 10x better when it was done independently by Marvel Studios and that’s how they should keep doing it.

    1. Deadpool. Can I just say how excited I was to see Ryan Reynolds play Wade Wilson but he had 2 maybe 3 scenes and only one of those had any action. Come on. You couldn’t even use him in the end?!?! No need to give him Cyclops power or sew his mouth shut. Deadpool was a menace in his own right. I think they’re doing a pre-Origins movie on him but they might just wave their wand and say poof everything in Origins didn’t happen. Ridiculous.

    This is the problem with Fox pictures. They want to have too many characters on the screen and don’t give enough attention to the ones they use, which is why characters are never given their proper dues. It’s an injustice. Marvel should just hire me. Shoot even as a consultant, I’d make a difference. I hate Fox + Marvel, nothing good ever comes out of it. Iron Man was independently produced by Marvel and see how that turned out. Spiderman was Columbia pictures but I think that franchise suffers also from lets have too many storylines and not pay enough attention to what’s happening.

    Thnx for putting this together. It’s on the mark.

  5. Kevin W Says:

    Ive been trying to tell people how stupid this shit was. They fucking raped deadpool, I am still an avid comic reader(80bucks a month for comics), and he is one of my favorite characters, completely fucking raped like andy dufraine….

  6. Curtis Says:

    Re: shitty special effects in Last Stand: How in the blue fuck do you make a movie that feature Phoenix with no got-damn psi-fire?!

    In addition to getting Gambit’s accent right, getting his eyes right would have been nice too.

  7. xmenchick Says:

    I love this post …. it was exactly every single gripe I had about the move….

  8. Anonymous Says:

    remember how the blades got all red hot when blocking the cyclops-like blast… apparently that had something to do with the impossible beheading

  9. K.Y. Says:

    Do you think Magneto will rip the adamantium out of Wolverine’s body in the Magneto movie?
    Also… was Will.I.Am supposed to be The Vanisher?

  10. Mr. Noface Says:

    @ Curtis

    I didn’t understand the screw up of Gambit’s eyes. All they had to do was put in some contacts. It’s the little things that ruin characters in Comic Adaptation Movies, for me.

    @ Anon

    OMG, the blades blocking the cyclops-like blast! I’m not EVEN going to go into how ridiculous it was for Wolverine to be able to do that. The guy who thought that one up must of had a B.S. in Physics (I’m not talking about the degree either).

  11. Kriss Says:

    Because I did a Top Ten I knew I wasn’t going to be able to cover everything. I purposely left out that part where Wolverine blocked the Optic Blast. That shit wasn’t just physics defying…it was unnecessary and retarded…

  12. Kriss Says:

    The Magneto movie is suppose to be an Origin movie as well and so no, I would think they wouldn’t have him ripping out the adamantium…of course…that’s if the writers had brains…but they don’t…so anything is possible.

  13. Jaymoney Says:

    what about blocking da optic blast with da fucking claws! y didnt it go threw da gaps n da claws

  14. DeeeVa B Says:

    Hey Kriss and Co. I am so geeked about this site. I’m sitting here on a job laughing like hell. Sorry to say, I’m not in the X-Men legion, that’s why i was taken in by this movie. i have no frame of reference. HJack was entertaining to me and the rest of the ignorant masses. That’s who 20th century was aiming for I guess.

  15. Vince Says:

    Hey Kriss, this top ten list is fantastic. Good call on Ryan Reynolds, who did the casting on that one. You left out Van Wilder, totalmotor mouth in that one. I’m so not tempted to see The Proposal even though Sandra Bullock is the hottest cougar ever. You can post this to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and link back to your site. We are trying to create a directory for top ten lists where people can find your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.

  16. mimi Says:

    Excellent list, and I agree with all of it. Well, nearly all of it. It really was Wade Wilson under all that makeup/etc. in the fight scenes. There’s an entire interview where he tells us all that you have to look closely to see him (I didn’t – it’s his eyes, really), but it’s him.

    But you got it right with that bullet. Seriously, the entire thing was a stupid idea (unless he got shot through the eye, which he didn’t). Stryker and Co. fucked him up, but not that way.

    And that shit with Gambit… a dialect coach wouldn’t have killed them. It wouldn’t have. Then again, they tried one with Halle, and we know how well that turned out. *smh*

    @KY :: Will.I.Am was meant to be Wraith. I don’t know why.

  17. Gulliver Says:

    I actually have to disagree with this post, I liked the movie. I did think the CGI claws was the worst idea since peter parker had internal webshooters but the plot wasnt that bad (If I was trying to save the human race from mutants I would probably go one of two ways, superior weapons ie sentinels or genetic engineering ie this movie’s deadpool)

    second, Deadpool is my favorite character and I was elated when they cast Ryan Reynolds. I was pissed that he was alegedly killed offscreen at the beginning of the movie and that he was given all those stupid powers. However the fact they say the process (of giving him mutant powers) was incomplete and him being alive at the end of the credits leads me to believe they will make a deadpool movie in the future where he just has teleportation and a healing factor.

    Gambit was great, his cajun accent wasnt very thick (compared to it in the comics) but if any of you have spent a significant time in Louisianna you know that cajun accents vary. Im glad they made him understandable.

    Finally as far as introducing other characters from the marvel universe, its a movie interpretation they have some license to change things up as long as they dont screw up the things that make the characters likable and the story enjoyable and I dont think they did that here.

  18. Silent Protagonist Says:

    Finally I see someone speak on how pissed they are about this movie.
    If I could I’d hate-fuck the shit out of 20th Century Fox the same way they hate-fucked what could have been a decent movie if they’d have gotten off their preppy “ohh look at me! I’m a fucking movie script writer/director/producer! I’m too good for your geeky shit!” horse and read a goddamn comic book.

    Goddamn dicklicking suck-fucks.

  19. scarlyjones Says:

    I agree with most of the post. Although,..that WAS Ryan Reynolds in the end scene playing Deadpool. He even talks about it in an interview, plus, there is no denying that its him in the scene the fighting stops for 2 seconds and Wolverine and Deadpool stare at eachother and Deadpool, even though his mouth is sewn shut,….obviously smiles and cocks his head to the side slightly. That is TOTALLY Ryan Reynolds. Also,…how come in all three of the X-Men films,..Prof. X obviously knows Wolverines past but wont tell him????? Now,..I know technically, he never saw Wolverine on 3 mile island, but, doesnt he see all? Even if he doesnt,…dont tell me he didnt ask those kids he saved that day WTF was going on….and dont tell me those freakin kids say anything about it….That kind of shit would have kids talking about it for years. Its kinda like Chewbacca meeting Yoda in the prequels and then doesnt remember him in Empire or Jedi. I know they werent in any scenes together in Empire or Jedi but are you telling me Luke never onces mentions that he was training with Yoda or that Yoda trained him to be a Jedi? Gimme a break. And the whole Sabretooth not recognizing Wolverine thing is just a HUGE F-up ….

  20. Josh Says:

    Honeslty it’s a movie, they did a pretty good job portraying the the origin, and you don’t your little metaphors for everything that went wrong in the movie just say it. Of course you find out in this one that wolverine doesn’t age any more when he comes to adult hood. The only only thing that can cut through adamantium metal is its own metal only when it’s hot like it showed after deadpool tried to fry him. If you listen in the 2 one striker says to wolverine right before he leaves him to find with the nails chick he says you have to keep it hot or it sets and becomes indestructable. So that’s how he cut of deadpools head, hot claws. Yes I was disappointed with the special effects the claws looked a little faky. Also they could have done a better job at picking a striker that looked the same. Also in most of the xmen movies they have left a sign of unfinished. Like xavier is still alive he’s in another body, magneto still has his powers he moves the chest piece, and finally deadpool is still alive at the end of the origin movie, he starts to talk because his skin was ripped off but somebody told him to be quite. When he was made he was also given the mind reading ability someone else was talking to him. So who knows what movie they’re coming out with next to explain all of this. Also in the second one striker has that claw lady made to help him. First of all he made this dead pool guy with all these crazy powers, and then after 20 years this is all he creates. Also she went thru the same procedure wolverine did and survived it, how could she survive that but saber tooth couldn’t. And so wolverine gets his memory erased and never knew he had a girl friend again and never fully knew what happened in his past, cus xavier didn’t even tell him and striker died before he could. So wolverine never knew he lived in the Rockies, had a girl friend he loved that would of proly been his wife, that died twice once was fake and the second time was real her diamond sister couldn’t of blocked that one bullet that hit her? Anyways I believe all the characters they had in that movie were relavent to showing how they came known and on to the next movies.

  21. Josh Says:

    Also if wolverine would have played it a little smarter when he came after striker like mabey blocking his head win his claws or some manuever rather than just leaping at him he proly could have gotten away with gun shots in his abdomen and back instead of his head.

  22. angryfellow Says:

    If they have any sense If they want to do a fictional movie of Cable, they might want to read the comic and watch X-3 again and see that they killed off Scott Summers(Cyclops)Cable’s Father. It wouldn’t be a movie anyway now that they killed off almost of the Original Charecters and a horrible display of Deadpool in the Wolverine movie or any of the X-Men movies.they really need to STOP making these movies if there going to ruin them with weak screenplays from writers who claim to LOVE the comic book and destroy them on screen.IF YOURR GOING TO DO IT DO IT RIGHT AND STICK TO THE COMIC BOOK!!!!!

  23. Its just me Says:

    @ Josh what you said about wolverine, deadpool and the claws makes NO SENSE.

    If we take the quote from that movie then we know a few things
    1.) if the metal cools then it becomes indestructible
    2.) if it’s NOT COOLED DOWN then it can be broken

    SO if we look at this movie and if we say deadpool was infused with adamantium then it goes without saying that deadpool’s metal was cooled and wolverines WAS NOT after blocking the blast. So by your logic wolverine’s HOT claws should have broken on deadpools COLD metal skeleton. And that is why they couldn’t infuse deadpool with adamantium because it wouldn’t make any sense for him to cut through a indestructible metal with HOT claws which, as Striker said, aren’t as strong as cooled adamantium.

    and to comment on your wolverine memory comment I’m not sure if you knew this…but wolverine also had FAKE memories implanted and nothing in this movie explains that correctly. Even if you say the gunshot erased them then it’s still wrong because he had the fake memories while being apart of the x-men. This movie was just wrong in so many ways

  24. spencer Says:

    The thing that made me most pissed was that DEADPOOL IS A GOOD GUY!!! What the fuck was that. At least the one thing they got right is that he can’t die. Thanks for the list. I agree. And it was the most over the top movie of over the top movies.

  25. Anonymous Says:

    this is the best review EVER

  26. me Says:

    Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Ryan Says:

    One thing about decapitation. If you ram an object such as an iron sword against an object also made of iron with enough force, the sword will break the other object. That sort of rationalixes it. and seeing as stryker used wolverine SPECIFICALLY TO TEST THE PROCESS BEFORE IT WAS USED ON WADE, it’s safe to say he was infused. Also, Logan’s claws were superheated by the eye beam attacks, which increased the cutting power to beyond normal strength (thus making it stronger then regular adamantium). As for the bullet, it doesn’t need to pierce the skull to cause damage. If you are wearing body armor, the force of the impact will wind you, and could even knock you back. Therefore, if the bullet was fired with enough force (which it probably was seeing as it was fired at close range) the sheer blunt force of the impact would have been enough to cause brain damage. And Wolvie was shot 6 TIMES!!!!!!! Again, even if the bullet doesn’t actually pierce you’re skin the sheer blunt force trauma caused by the impact will still cause some measure of brain damage. As for sabertooth. Sabertooth was never referred to by that name, and I highly doubt that Scott would connect the 6 foot tall blond muscleman with the short brown haired man who attacked him all those years before. Also Stryker was WANTED FOR QUESTIONING!!!! They didn’t have proof that he had actually killed the General. Finally WHO THE FUCK CARES IF IT’S EXACTLY LIKE THE COMIC??!!!???? All that mattered was that the action was good, and that you could sit back and unwind. As for deadpool wankers: GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!!! All that matters was that Deadpool was a legitimate threat and he was. If he’s not like the comics then boo fucking hoo.

    Also they confirmed that during the weapon xi scenes ryan renolds did the closeups. The dangerous stuff ( the flips, the sword moves) were done by Scott Adkins because he’s a professional stuntman.
