Let's hear your opinions: What do you think is the movie that most went wrong?
I would have to say of everything I've seen, no movie in history had so much potential yet failed so spectacularly as Wolverine.
What sucks most about it was that there's a VERY good movie in there that was screaming to get out. For what they had to work with the actors were great. I've always said that Hugh Jackman was just the PERFECT Wolverine, and Schreiber was about 1000 times better than the guy they had playing Sabertooth in the original X-Men movie. Gambit was just plain fun to watch, and Ryan Reynolds was hilarious as Wade Wilson (can't wait for Deadpool, which is SUPPOSED to be much closer to the actual character than he was in Wolverine. Right down to his personal mission to utterly destroy the Fourth Wall).
The problem was they so badly mangled the execution of the story. I mostly wish they hadn't tried to tie it in so closely to the X-Men trilogy, especially after how HORRIBLY wrong it went in X3 (someone PLEASE bring back Bryan Singer!). But also, how the hell do you make a movie about one of the most pissed off superheroes in history so DULL. Wolverine is supposed to be a big ball of adamantium rage, but in the movie he did a lot more brooding than snarling. Batman broods. They also tried to tie him in too closely to some of the other mutants that he shouldn't have been part of (seriously, how could the mutants he rescued NOT tell Xavier about the hairy guy with the metal claws) and many of those mutants weren't true to their origins (where's Emma Frost's telepathy? And why did they make her into Silverfox's sister?) And WTF was with the adamantium bullet?!
Jackman is supposedly doing a second Wolverine set during his time in Japan. Here's hoping they do a MUCH better job this time.
