endworld Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm watching it here! http://tvshack.net/movies/X_Men_Origins__Wolverine__2009_/ This feels unsavory... edit: On second thought, between the green screen backdrops and the polygon airplane explosion in the first five minutes, I think I'm gonna wait 'til theaters.

Jables Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I only watched the first 40 mins as a kind of extended preview & loved it. This whole 'telling a good chunk of history through the opening credits' is fast becoming a good new trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 That pic almost makes the seizure inducing flashes from your sig pics worthwhile. Almost. And I'm staying away from the undone print until I see the real deal in a theater. I can wait a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hate what they did to Deadpool . Felt I was watching a movie written by Jeff Loeb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt I was watching a movie written by Jeff Loeb. Ugh, when exactly did Jeph Loeb JUMP THE SHARK? When he went to Marvel? I loved his run on Superman/Batman and his Batman stuff w/ Tim Sale is classic. . . but all the Rulk and Ultimates shyte he's churning out over in the mighty MU is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'd say about when he started writing for Heroes. Maybe he considers comics a lesser medium now & doesn't deem them worth the effort? I dug the shit out of his Superman stuff with McG back in the day. Regarding this movie, I'm refusing to watch more until the cinema release. Schrieber looks bloody good as Sabretooth when he's not running on all fours, I peeked at that toy spoiler above... Notsomuch fun, guess I'll have to see if the delivery at least makes sense.

Mortiis558 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Downloaded it and watched it tonight, it's not that bad if you're looking for mindless entertainment and don't know anything actually about wolverine or any of the other characters...and I gotta say I loved seeing where they needed to fill in the CG and edit out the ropes...reminded me of a low budget Sci-Fi Channel movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 loeb jumped the shark when he wrote Hush(>< god that book was aweful) but he's always had issues, he's always been very very good at starting stories and simply bad at finishing them(the way the ending of long holloween is proof of this) but I'd say dark victory is proabbly his best work. back to the movie, please please please please let newtype be wrong and not let them rape deadpool :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think HUSH was his best Batman stuff, but I thought he did a pretty good job introducing a new major player into the official Batman cannon.

If you want to see Loeb at his low points, go back to Ultimates vol. 3...ugh. after your bats books, he was teamed with tim sale on a lotta marvel shit that wasnt bad (spidey blue, dd yellow etc) but his level of batshit-craziness works on books like Ultimatum, i think. anyway, off tpoic but i forget what your beef was with Hush, was a fun, everything & the kitchen sink bats story with an ending you saw a mile away, and uh, jim lee.

alive she cried Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Never read Hush, is it a must read or a "get to it when you get to it"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Superman fucks Poison Ivy, it's fucking weird. Say huh wha now? She kissed him. I think that only counts as "fucking" in certain areas of the world, like places where they speak in tongues and have church by dancing and holding rattlesnakes.

Jables Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 These are standard practises in Baytor's hood. Hush as a premise & Villian are, 5 years on pretty fucking weak, but it did start a trend that generated some cool copycat stories(Millar's Knight Spiderman comes to mind). Lee's pencils were tight as fuck, and I don't think I tired of the DC direct figures until about wave 3 when you had fucking Alfred(I think Nick has 'em now).

Iambaytor Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Eh, forgive me, I only read issues here and there when it came out. My informative is apparently a lying cunt and now must die.

gunsmithx Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 it had some cool moments mind you but over all the villian was weak and so was the overall story and hush(the villian)should have been buried(dispite the hardon george has for him) it did look pretty though but the ending was weak, don't want to say too much more for those who havn't read it.

Yes, the HUSH line had some of the best figures DC Direct has put out. I own Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Com. Gordon, Ivy Infected Superman (from that time she KISSED him), and, yes, Alfred. Hey, the dude deserved a figure plus he rocks the white gloves & bowtie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnotizinChikns Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 ^^ haha you were so cock blocked. Anyways. the movie is a turd. It's like our Logo, on the front page, you know the really awesomely bad one? It's JUST like that, with jumping sharks and flying horses, stuff that should be awesome, but's it's just awesomely bad becase you've crammed it into a really tight place. *opps almost a spoiler* newtype- yeah...WTF? Major disapointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 ^^ Gawdamn! Who knew someone would be so protective of a fucking picture of a toy! And a toy of Alfred Pennyworth at that. But I suppose the pic could apply to the actual topic and people like yourself pirating unfinished films. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
