Mr. Hakujin Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 And here is a slide show of 8 stills from the set. A few are from that funeral scene shown in those other pics and trailer tease, but we get a look at Viper and see Logan navigate a pachinko parlor. The claws are still looking odd. Especially in the pic where he's w/ Viper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah, I'm not sure... if they are in fact CG I hope to god they are just better looking in action than the previous attempt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Also, considering this movie is supposed to be darker in tone, I didn't except it to be as brightly lit. I expected darker cinematography. Edited March 27, 2013 by Reverend Jax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Also, it seems like from that teaser that the plot again somehow revolves around Logan's adamantium--again. I was hoping for maybe a more noir-ish tale w/ some badass Wolvie shredding up Yakuza and maybe fighting a mutant samurai all in silver. I dunno...maybe I let that b&w teaser poster charge me up too much for this film and I need to start dialing back the expectations.

Reverend Jax Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I'm posting a video of the trailer that includes a review at the end, because I thought she made some interesting points that made it worth posting. The trailer was better than what I thought were were going to get based on the 6-second and 15-second teaser-teasers we got, but I still feel like this film is from an era of comic book movies that predates Iron Man and The Dark Knight, before the standard was raised. Then again, I got the same vibe from the X-Men: First Class trailers, and that was a very pleasant surprise.

Keth Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yeah, dialing back the hype here too. That trailer certainly makes it look better than Origins, but not as good as they were promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm posting a video of the trailer that includes a review at the end, because I thought she made some interesting points that made it worth posting. Good call w/ posting that version of the trailer as the best part about it was her analysis--and the apparent make-over she's had since I last saw one of her video reports/reviews. Yeah, I'm not sure what comic books Jackman was reading when he was doing all the press for the film during production, but I don't recall Wolvie ever losing his healing factor let alone in the Japan issues. Again, I was hoping for a more cool, samurai, noir vibe and as the reviewer said, it comes off as more of a B-movie in the trailer. Nick or someone needs to post some torrent links for some good Logan in Japan stories so I can go cleanse my mind of this disappointment of a trailer. That first Wolverine mini-series, right? He also had some good arcs in v1 of his ongoing title, no? I think I'm also getting Madripor (sp?) and Patch Wolverine tales from the comics mixed up w/ Logan in Japan stories. Maybe that's why I was expecting more of a noirish, Casablanca vibe for the film. I believe it was Madripor where Wolverine went by Patch (b/c he cleverly wore an eye-patch) and was either hiding out undercover or had amnesia (natch). I just remember my first issue of Wolverine I ever read was one of those issues that a friend lent me. Patch was in a plane in Madripor, not sure if he killed the guy w/out popping claws or not. Anyway, that issue is what got me to add Wolverine to my monthly pull list. I read his solo book for the longest time before ever picking up an X-Man comic.

Thrizzle Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I wanna say the Patch/Madripoor stuff was from Marvel Comics Presents? The only Japan stuff I've read is the Claremont/Miller mini. I'm sure there's much more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Yeah, the Claremont/Miller book is all I've read of Wolvie in Japan, loved it though. Like the rest of ye I'm a little less excited after the trailer but I'm still optimistic I'll enjoy it. P.s. Does it annoy anyone else that the Claremont/Miller book is often only referred to as "Miller's"? Claremont deserves more recognition and respect than that.

Thrizzle Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 You aren't wrong. I think it's because Claremont did lots and lots of Wolverine stories, but Frank Miller only did one. He clearly had a lot of input in the plot, because there are ninjas all up in that bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 and traitorous women. wolvy was patch at the beginning of vol 1 of his solo book too, and has lost his healing factor on several occasions (I can think of 2 in recent years, both dumb). he's been to japan tons of times, but if its still based around this book (last i heard it was?) then you can check that out...not BKV's best, and not my choice for a movie at all, but it's not bad. i wanna say his powers gave out for a bit after something big went down there, but i forget...story wasn't super memorable for me.
