Me? Critical?! Meh....

I was speaking to a friend (let's call him Z) the other day and he said he was looking forward to X-Men Origins : Wolverine more than anything this year. I agree it's a slow year for blockbusters but I disagree on the fact that Wolverine's going to be good. So I told Z that everything about the movie is going wrong and it looks like it's going to be one of those 'fun flicks' that gets really old, really fast, even the second time around. By this time Z's already set on having an argument and gives me a good lecturing on why Wolverine's the coolest badass mutant superhero on the planet and how I'm too critical for my own good. Take note that Z didn't like Transformers because it didn't have proper character development. Yeah. Anyway, I'm overcritical says he, and that I should learn to loosen up and bask in the hype more.

So me being me, the fan of comic characters and superheroes alike, wondered how bad could it be to just not find faults with the Wolverine flick. Besides, Hugh Jackman's a great actor, I love the X-Men, and Wolverine's my favorite character next to Batman. Then I stumbled upon this photo today and hated myself for actually even considering thinking highly about the Wolverine movie.

Uh-huh. For some reason people think it's cool when Wolverine looks like a model for Hugo Boss. I've hated almost every picture I've seen from the film to date. Sabretooth looks too clean and the fight sequence between the two is lame. Come on! It's Wolverine and Sabretooth. Screw the martial arts thing....go at it like rabid dogs! Like animals! Anyway, this is just to clarify that I'm not overly critical about stuff. I love Transformers and Michael Bay. Say whatever you want about the man, he knows how to create a fun, entertaining, film. And I cannot wait for Transformers 2. If you need more pics of Wolverine flexing his abs and showing his glistening muscles, check them out HERE. If Superman were in these poses I wouldn't care because he's just like that' ; a self-absorbed &^%$. Wolverine, on the other hand, doesn't have time for photoshoots. Just my opinion.



"Promise me, love, that we'll be together again. Don't go."
"Don't stop me you handsome chunk of feral meat. Look at my eyes and tell me you love me."
"I love you, you unhygienic man with yellow fingernails yet perfectly shaped sideburns."
"Grrr....."
"Grrrowll...."
"It's on...."

hehehe "proper character development"

well anyway, i'm with you, i don't think it'll be a fascinating movie on the whole, but if the trailer's anything to go by, it should be a fascinatingly kick ass action movie -let's give it that much.

i think the only way *you* specifically can enjoy this movie is to forget everything u knew about the characters, and assume they're recreating all the history and facts of the very thing they're making a movie about.

ALSO is it just me or are wolvie's blades in that pic given an unconvincing 3d job?
