The Wolverine

Not a lot of buzz about this one, but they released some new photos and posters and a teaser for the upcoming trailer.

I was hoping this would not be an X-men movie but it was in vain. Not watching it.

Title didn't give it away?

Wolverine is an X-Man. Any movie made about him is an X-Men movie, whether it has any of the other team members or not.

I fail to see how this is an X-Men movie if there is basically just one X-Men here and one in a flashback.

And to be positive, the spot does actually seem pretty awesome. Silver Samurai's armor, in particular, is looking great.

I mean the X-men Franchise is one I am sick of seeing. I thought maybe Wolverine would be about Perry Saturn, or an actual Wolverine, or a Michigan school or

I wish they'd stop making films about American High school/Colleges and Wrestling. But you know.

For some reason I think this has the potential to be one of the best Superhero films of all time. But I think it's more likely to be another bad X-Men film.

I'll wait for the new trailer.

But so far it looks alright.

Though that new poster with all the ninjas looks too Photoshopped. Seriously

You know what, this could be a blessing. There is a slight chance this will might be mediocre forgettable if not for the sake of its Wolverine Publicity snore. But if this goes down in flames it could be the end of wolverine publicity as we know it.

Doubt it. Even Batman And Robin wasn't enough to kill Batman's Q rating. And they'd have to try very hard to make a worse film than the last Wolverine movie.

Besides I thought Wolverine Publicity died down when they managed to make a whole X-Men movie that was good which didn't depend on Wolverine at all (outside a rather funny cameo that had no bearing on the plot)

New teaser.

Okay, I am officially hyped for this. That sword-to-claw fight looked amazing.

Full trailer.

There's also a domestic trailer, which is less action-heavy:

I. Am. Sold.

And here's the domestic trailer with a lot of different footage.

The above thumbnails keep making me think: Hovercat: Hardcore.

The hype levels have reached the roof.

That train scene actually looks very comic-bookish and hyper-kinetic.

Still has plenty of opportunity to suck, but. . . liking it better than Man of Steel. At least it has nothing like "maybe" in the trailer.

Wolverine wandering the world seeking mortality is a pretty cool premise. This could turn out pretty decent.

I'm still struck odd by the inclusion of the villain Viper in this.

For beginners she's a member of HYDRA which only exists in the MCU and her inclusion really just srikes me as strange.

Perhaps she's an expy/Captain Erzsats of the Viper from HYDRA.

I don't know.

Is this film anything to do with the original comic book arcs that had Logan in Japan or is it a /spit "new story" that pisses on the whole Wolverine mythology like every other of Jackman's appearances has done?

It is stated that it's based on the Japan arc.

That might be worth catching on dvd then. The Japan arcs were some of the best stuff the comic!Logan ever got involved in.

The thing is, I have never been a fan of Jackman in the role - I tried watching some of him in the first X-Men film and it was so physically painful I had to stop.
