Saw Star Trek yesterday.  People actually die.  The story cleans up the whole mess of the original cannon.  And even though its from JJ Abrams I actually really enjoyed it.  Its been a while since I've seen 1 and 2, but of the remaining originally Trek films, this one tops them all easily.

Hollywood should learn by now--you don't turn a manga/anime into a live action movie 

X-men Wolverine = epic fail. Not only did Wolverine's CG blades look to fake that the entire movie theater I was in during the midnight release burst into laughter--but since when does a cajun based character have a southern accent? Hate to break it to them but those are 2 completely different accents considering I live in Louisiana. PG 13 or not--there was like no blood save for a few parts. There's more blood on The CW in the show Supernatural than there was in that movie lol.

I have faith in Transformers and Michael "B-B-B-Blosion" Bay but I tire of movies that have a great plot and great acting but I drowned out by all the special effects. Either way if its suckage I'm gonna cry a little inside.

GI Joe looks cool but opening trailer looked like Bioshock--the new suits look like they fell straight out of Halo lolz...I shall keep my fingers crossed on this one.

Star Trek was so awesome it outranked every other movie made this summer so far. I'm not a trekkie--but I'm a nerd and OMG I think I wet myself a little. The casting was done perfectly--the movie made sense considering the explanation of the alternate reality and it had so much stuff from the original series it was a win all around for hardcore fans and for people who just wanted to see the movie. My only complaint was that it ended

Terminator I don't have much of an opinion on given I never saw 3 and I haven't watched the other two since I was a kid. But, due to my boyfriend being a complete geek over terminator I shall be watching it lol.

Harry Potter--well, I've read all the books and seen the other movies--might as well keep at it.

Anything I missed--eh...I'll add later

I've never ever ever been a fan of DeadPool, and probably never will be. It's like they sat back and thought... "Let's make a guy with Spidey's sense of humour but Punisher's weapons!" and it turned out to be the most over-rated POS ever. Seriously, the char sucks, IMHO. Besides, they kind of stuffed the cool Darth Maul-esque death with some lame add-on post-credits scene, so DP's not a-goner for good.

The movie did a good job of taking the best bits from the Origins book and filtering it through the movie universe to tie in a lot of loose ends etc and bring the two worlds much closer together. There's a few minor bugs that irritate me, but I've since heard there's due to be another Wolverine prequel set prior to X1 which has an opportunity to remedy all of that.

It did a good job. I found it both entertaining and engaging, and very clever.

That is a highly inaccurate description of deadpool.  Deadpool and spidey's sense of humor differ greatly for one thing.  Deadpool's humor is a lot darker most of the time (though he can be a bit zany/wacky as well), and he is defined more by insane comments than smart-ass quips.  He also breaks the fourth wall constantly as part of his char (my personal fav moment being when he broke into marvel studios in one comment to find out where the writer hid his enemy for that issue, hilarious), and uses that as part of his commentary.  your analysis also ignores the really tragic origins of the char, one of the most interesting origins in all of comics IMO.  A former soldier/cancer patient signs up for Weapon X program because he's terminal anyway and then the process ends up keeping alive but also permanently decaying with cancer, driving him mad in teh process.  I find that fascinating.  Now, yes, his weapons are similar to Punisher, but weapons only make a break a character for a reader (unless he's a child, hence wolverine's popularity with the young crowd - "HE HAS CLAWS! AND HE'S SUPER INVINCIBLE!"   Not that that's a bad thing, just somewhat funny and interesting, also i am now way off track, ahem) and if we took every char who uses swords and guns and immediately called him a Punisher rip-off....you get the idea (also Punisher?  most overrated char in comics, even moreso than Wolvie himself or even Venom).

Bah, but anyways, back on the topic of the movie itself.  Clearly, we were looking for different things in that movie, because the last thing I wanted was a serious link to the comic origin books (which were mediocre as hell), but something that worked as a solid movie itself and invested me further in specific characters.  I was feeling good about the movie until around the time we ran into Gambit.  The cameos were getting out of hand, taking away from the plot itself, and then the twists at the end and adding in a useless emma frost, randomly tying her to silver fox (who's a mutant?  Why? wasnt she just a mercenary/assassin in the books?) and tying silver fox into a conspiracy which was working way better as a "they killed his wife to get him to do weapon x" story.  It sucked the life out of it.  I left the theatre with a bad taste in my mouth.

To be fair, i am not such a big fan of the X-books in general.  I think they do a lot of things wrong.  But i really liked the first two x movies.  I also am no longer looking forward to any more x-movies from fox tho, i wish marvel could take the license back and do a reboot to fit into their Iron Man/Hulk movie-verse now.  *sigh* if only.

Wolverine's name is James Logan Howlett... Where did Teasing come from?

actually i couldnt remember the name and when i looked it up, thats what it said.

lol.   Sorry Knuckles. 

I <3 Ozzy more.  Haha.

Knuckles <3 ozzy......hey wait a min...





b4 i forget, wolverine's claws were a side effect where as the movie depicted it as something they wanted. later on when magneto rips his skeleton out, his claws are so part of his body that the metal gets replaced with bone claws. awsome.

[Osbourne Kilminster]

Wolverine always had bone claws. They were first revealed when Magneto tore out the adamantium, but in the Origins books (which are set WAY prior to his debut in The Incredible Hulk books), he had them.

Re: Deadpool - I absolutely HATE that 4th wall rubbish. Each to their own, but things like that diminish the integrity of the Marvel Universe, IMHO.
