Coo-coo cachoo got screwed
So I saw the Wolverine movie . . . and this isn't really spoilers, more my thoughts, but I will do a cut anyway.
So this is me, in all my geek glory. The jacket is Jane's, but other than that . . . is it sad that I'm a pair of gloves and a white streak away from always having an X-Men costume on hand? Because I actually *do* have those things, I just didn't put them on. I was going to pose for this picture screaming at the heavens, since that's something he does. A lot. But I went for badass instead.
I think I liked it-I know it was better than the train wreck that was X3. But they did some of the same stuff: why show awesome, fan-worthy characters for like, 30 seconds? Why bother fucking with their personal mythos just so you can underutilize them except as a CGI excuse?
Biggest offender: Emma Frost. Who isn't even named, they just call her "a girl with diamond hard skin." Which she has, and oh man, if Edward Cullen had glittered like Frost in the Twilight movie, I would have peed my pants when I saw it in theatres. She's so bling, it hurts.
But that's the first problem: she's not covered in diamonds, she's *made* of diamond. And she's psychic, awesome and FUCKING BRITISH. Basically, they only part they got right was that she was blond. But since she was only in the movie for like, three minutes, it didn't really matter.
CGI was alright, plot was so-so, the writing was actually pretty good. Just . . . I don't know, underutilized. Overshadowed by the convolutedness of its plotting. Also, they fucked with the cannon continuity, which I would understand to make it fit in with the other movies, except it doesn't. It makes it worse.
Still, I enjoyed it for the comic book dorkiness, but if it came down to a real battle between these guys:
I might be pulling for nocturnal echo-locating flying mammal man. Just saying.
I here screaming, the Canucks must be beating Chicago. Or their are some feisty Chicago fans nearby.
Peace!
In summary, top two reasons to see this movie:
1. The scene in "Nigeria?" The big building with the guns and the fence? My school. Building next door. WE WATCHED THEM FILM SOME OF THAT.
2. Wolver-ass. Like, twice.
