CJohn Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I saw Wolverine today. On par with X1. I would have liked to see it making 60M OW, but oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hoo boy, that third act. Great stinger though Love your sig Mr.Pink So the third act was bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Love your sig Mr.Pink So the third act was bad? It's pretty rough, not much better than Origins in that regard. The rest of the movie was pretty alright though. These 'white guy goes to Asia' movies are pretty entertaining to me though I've noticed, since I'm immune to Tokyo Drift's badness. Speaking of which, DK is totally in the movie and all I could do was laugh every time he was on the screen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in those movies rich japanese still live in old-fashioned samurai digs without chairs, wear kimono, arrange their daughter's marriages and are as backwards when it comes to honor as their counterparts in 16th century. Sepuku and such shit that doesn't even exist in Anime let alone among Anime consumers who want to live to read another Volume or watch another episode.

I should feel more insulted but I am always bemused by the Hollywood lens of Asian culture. And those white guys always stealing our women! Damn you Tom Cruise and Hugh Jackman.

junkshop36 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Just finished watching TW. Thought it was pretty good. Jackman was excellent as always. The third act did feel a little off from the rest of the movie. The tone changed to be a little bit more comic booky. Not sure how else they could have pulled off the Silver Samairi any better. What was he in the comics? Was it a dude in a suit as well?The mid credit scene was great. Look forward to that movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise, Hollywood never fails to bestow Ukrainian last name on Russian characters because they have a fetish with names ending in "o". And that's Ukrainian thing.

I thought Mariko was from the comics. Isn't she supposed to be Wolverines greatest love? I read that on one of these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, both characters are in Marvel comics ... so can complain to the writers. ... and yes, Mariko is one of the big love interests of Wolverine.

And the writers happen to be white so they named her Mariko like all white writers do. Shogun has Mariko too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverine greatest love in the movies will always be Jean. No way around that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted July 28, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted July 28, 2013 Except Jean liked Scott more.(Yeah, I know. Fanboy Puritanism.) Yet another on-screen relationship poorly planned out. There's a reason why some of the biggest movies have "fated" love stories. The love triangle aspect rarely works--Twilight being the exception that proves the rule, because most of its audiences were women who were or wished they were still teenagers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yeah, Jean should be with Cyclops, but then the Cyclops character in X-Men movies is....Jean and Logan had good chemistry so I understand why they go for that, especially when Wolvie is the most popular.
