I personally have never taken a liking to that movie series, but hey, what do I know...maybe they are good, maybe they aren't...?
The main actor with the long claws (which shows just how much I follow/have followed the series) appeared on the Daily Show with John Stewart, so that was really the only reason I knew about it. :) Are you or are you not going to go see it? It apparently has good reviews so far, but as audience anticipation, what are your personal views on the movie?

I will go see it, but with little enthusiasm. The reason for my blase attitude is that I'm a fan of the real X-men, you know the comic series. When the first X-men movie came out I was so excited to finally see my much admired X-men brought to life... I practically hated it. It was only Hugh Jackman's performance as Wolverine and PAtric Stewart's Professor X that saved it for me. The story line had been altered to nearly unrecognizable proportions and most of the casting was a off target. But through much deliberation and discussion I acceptes that this is not a telling of the story of the X-men, it is a reinvention.
This is a NEW X-men story. I had to wwatch these movies like they were a new concept, because they had so little resemblance to what I'd grown up with and loved.
Now I like them for what they are, good action movies with familiar named characters and super powers.
I expect the same of Origins.
Though I'll be honest, their choice for Sabertooth... wow.. a DEFINATE reinvention if ever there was one. Thank goodness Liev Schrieber is a good actor or I'd have no hope for the rols of Sabertooth. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
I suspect the movie will water down the depth that is Wolverine into something fit gor a PG rating. So sad.
Anyway, my preclivities aside, I'm a fan of the originals so I may not like it. But I'm happy for all you who don't know the first X-men, you'll probably love this movie.

Huh!
Interesting response! VERY lengthy- nice...thank you for the movie feedback!
The main X-Man guy (Hugh Jackman, I'm presuming) seems like a pretty cool guy- I might go see it, but it'll have to really blow me away (as in me not having to see the first and catch onto the second with undying amazement :) ).
Thanks for writing this! I rated you a "Best Response," FYI.
See you later,

Yes, it had been one of my favorite movies. I and my husband liked to watch action packed movies, especially X-Men movies..Maybe next week, we planned to buy dvd to watch this new movie, Wolverines at home..It's cheaper and we can watch it over and over again...

No I am not. I do not care for that type of movie. I am sure he will go with some friends if they can work it out. Alot of times they have problems with everyone's work schedule. If not, he will go by himself. He has done that before.

I was thinking about going to see it this weekend. My friend went and saw it, and he said it was decent. From what he tells me, its alot of action, and thats really all I am expecting. Not expecting any romance or anything coming from an X-men movie...

It's a good movie! Save your self a couple of bucks you can watch it at home on www.ovguide.com. Get and s-video cable or HDMI and hook it from your computer or lap top to your tv. Saw the movie two weeks before it hit theaters. Same with lots of other movies..

I actually read a bad review on this movie, but I am an X-men fan, so I will definitely be seeing it! The "lead guy" by the way, is Wolverine, and he is played by Hugh Jackman.

When you say you're an "X-men fan" do you mean of the earlier movies or of the comic series?

I saw it last week ago. It was a good movies. I like to watch the actor, for me he was so handsome and he did good action. But i feel the story is too slow, it was difficult to get the main story before the middle part. I like the visual effects too, that was very amazing for me especially the action part.

I will surely see the movie. I just love the movie.
The movie has interesting characters too. I am eager to watch the movie.
My friends too are interested in the same. last time, we watched the movie together.
This time also, we have planned to repeat the same thing.

The movie was soooo good and it's action packed. It's definitely a movie to go see. I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen.

I saw the workprint first since one of my friend insists. But it doesn't stop me from seeing the original thing. I'm a big fan of Hugh Jackman. And i certainly recommend it to anyone who havent seen it yet. Its a materpiece.
