While i like Wolverine as a character i'm not sure they will do justice to his origins onscreen.
To me the mini series by Frank Miller and Chris Claremont which were done before Wolvie got his own comic series were the best.
Before the new X-men comic was launched that had him as a member of the team.
They got the Wolverine character in the films as close as humanly possible to the comics. I totally buy the cigar chomping badass as he was portrayed in the x-men films. This new movie Gets Gambit totally wrong though he looks metro and nothing like the guy who wears the trench coat and is a gambler, ladies man.
Well they messed that up in the X-men films anyways as Rogue was supposed to be Gambits girl, not Iceman. Iceman would have been too old anyway not a teen.
That being said i would rather see X-men 4 or a redo of 3 that does justice to the first 2 films.
The second real trailer was much better than the comic con stuff, still i am getting an Incredible Hulk vibe from this and that is not good. I mean Ang Lee's version too.
Another X-men film by Bryan Singer or just reboot the whole godamn thing since the films did zero justice to the comics for those who cared. You know Cyclops character was ruined in the movies. In fact the X-men trilogy could as easily been the Wolverine trilogy.
Even the actor they got to play Stryker in this film is all wrong. I hate the way he reads his lines.
and an virtually unknown director. The only thing they got right was the casting of Wolverine.
Well i know to comic book nerds an australian playing a canadian is bogus, but they will never be pleased with anything anyways.
Since the X-men first class went back to the classic Jack Kirby style i wonder if they would make a movie based on that. An X-men movie true to the spirit and look of the kirby books, would be fucking awesome!
Still they already ruined Silver Surfer and the fantastic four. Some like the new take on Iron Man i still don't buy Downey as stark though. I think the new Ironman is adequate. I don't think it nails the comic as some seem to think, and i don't think it is the worst movie ever either. Most of the Marvel adaptations are hit and miss.
DC got it right with Nolans take on Batman in Batman Begins. And it works in Dark knight as well, i just don't want a dark superman because that is not what superman is. Unless its alternate universe and Kingdom Come superman. I would definetely pay to see that as a movie.
Don't even get me started on what JMS did to Spiderman, The killing off of Captain America and Batman= fail.
I still don't know what to think of Joss Whedon's take on X-men and how a movie based on that would be.
