Wolverine

If you're considering seeing this movie... don't. It was bad in so many ways. Putting aside the violent rape-job they did on X-Men/Wolverine history and lore... I think they ran out of special effects money halfway through the film because there were some really amazingly terrible special effects. Badly designed and made sets, bad blue screening and some REALLY bad CGI. My roommate has been practically peeing herself in anticipation of this movie and she almost cried at how awful it was.

You'd be better off spending your money on scratch tickets.

Was the movie good? No. Did the effects suck? Absolutely. Was it still better than the piece of shit that was X-Men 3? Yes. But, that aside, shit is still shit even if its better than other shit. Don't waste your money. If you really wanna see a movie check out Anvil or the Tyson, both are solid.

Why would anyone spend money on this crap in the first place?

Well, I gotta figure out something else to do tonight then

In the hope it wasn't going to be crap. I'm convinced that if this film had been produced by Marvel instead of Fox, it would have been excellent.

So I went and saw it because me and my buddies didn't have anything else to do. This movie sucked. I don't think they bothered with a plot, they just said hey, let's have Wolverine fight this guy here, and then in 10 minutes he's gonna fight this guy. It seemed like they had a bunch of scenes done, put them in a bag, dumped them out and then the order they spilled out in was what the movie became.

The only good parts of the movie were Ryan Reynolds and Gambit, and each had maybe 5 minutes of screen time. Gambit was awesome, of course they did nothing with him. Cyclops, despite being in every preview, is in the movie maybe 5 minutes. Save your money folks, use it to see Star Trek next weekend

Everything about this movie that I've seen, read, and heard screams that the producers thought "hey, x number of people are going to go see it anyway regardless of how crappy it is so let's not put in the effort to make it any good unnecessarily" (this is the thinking that brought us Superstar, Night at the Roxbury, Ladies' Man, and a whole host of other shitty SNL movies, and they are refreshingly candid about it). Sad to see I was proven right, I was hoping that the Batman, Hellboy, and Watchmen (to a degree) movies raised the bar for comic book adaptations.

Jake,
The thing is, Batman, Hellboy and Watchmen did raise the bar... which is why the Wolverine film is being so poorly received. Fans expect more now... too bad the studios (particularly Fox) haven't caught on to that.

I liked Ladies Man.

It was good for a cheap laugh or two (plus it was fun to see Hillary Banks not being Hillary Banks), but to me the Ladies' Man was funny because he was so ridiculous and still got girls, so for the movie to portray him as actually not smooth was lame.

Ladies Man is a great "there's nothing else on so I guess I'll watch this" cable movie

I'm watching "Big Trouble in little China" right now for the same reason. Such an awesomely bad movie...
