    Yeah, it's big on character, without giving away too much. It's much more of a personal struggle for Wolverine, none of this "Wolverine averting the apocalypse and saving the world" crap.

    You do realise that this is a perception problem you have. A lot of people once believed that Hollywood produced it's best films back in the 1930's and 1940's. Once people start to believe in mythical "Golden era's" they are setting themselves up to enjoy nothing else in the future. Same thing has happened for comics, same thing for music, etc.... You are starting to sound like one of these guys...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAtSw3daGoo

    No, it's just the fact that it is not a "perfect" film. There are flaws, there are some things that don't make sense, but as a good way to kill two hours with one of the greatest cinema heros' of modern times, its fine entertainment. I just know that a lot of haters here will pick up on flaws and use them to paint this film as the worst piece of crap ever made. Same as whats been going on with other great cinema experiences this "summer", (by the way, its winter here, bloody freezing, and we have to go out in freezing weather to see these films so we don't want to waste our time. Please don't assume what we all live in the Northern Hemisphere.), such as Pacific Rim and Man of Steel. Sure, none of these films are perfect, but more people want to see "Grown-Ups 2"? If we don't support SF genre stuff, Adam Sandler movies are all we are going to get. And I am not saying put up with crap either.

    Easy. You'll hate it.

    Just got back from seeing it. Great film. Hugh is in fine form. The post-credits sequence is worth the ticket price alone but I saw it for free anyway. YAY!!

    Or The Cat from Outer Space.....

    I can't believe all the negativity here! This is going to breathe NEW LIFE into the franchise and bring in new fans by the millions! You watch, due to the popularity of this venture this time next year the RTLAM will be on the BIG SCREEN in 3D!!

    Its in the *FUTURE*, they have solved *all* of those problems...... Secret desires exposed. All I've got to say is this.....

    Hmmmm. "Based on the graphic novel". "From the producers of Underworld". Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy. I'm sure that we will get the usual barrage of "No", "Not interested", etc from the haters who are going to hate, but there is enough here to get me interested. It's gotta be better than 1994's "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein", so we will just have to wait and see. Anybody read the graphic novel?

    If you knew anything about Australia you would know that it wasn't any fist fighting cliche that we were going to be offended about. Those accents though..... I would prefer a movie that says something rather than a film that doesn't say *anything*. Go back to Bayformers Agent One.

    It is, essentially, made for people like us. Unfortunately , if we all went out and saw it a bunch of times its unlikely that we would pay over 180 mil for it.....

    FFS! LOL!!

    Yeah, the director is supposed to have said that he wanted this to have a lighter tone than a lot of other summer blockbusters. Good way to go. No point in the movie taking itself *too* seriously, it's all meant to be fun. Any nominations for "best moment in the film".
  15. taksraven
    YEAH!! YOU GUYS!! Enough with the fan art!!!!!
  16. taksraven
    Shhhh.

    This is the poster I got at the screening......
  18. taksraven
    Regardless of the process, it looked great in IMAX 3D. Don't make judgements on things you haven't seen.....(I was looking up at the screen several times thinking "Monster is going to eeeat meeeeeeeee!!!!!") *VERY* effective....

    JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING IT. YAY FIRST MEMBER REVIEW HERE (OK, I TIED WITH UN_MARINE)...... I really enjoyed it. Pretty much everything I expected it to be. Saw it in IMAX 3D and they gave us a cool mini-poster as we went in. The action was great, the general layout of the story was a *bit* unconventional. The Imax 3D sensation was great. A bit of vertigo at times. Del Toro used a lot of good angles to capture the action. Cast was great. Worst Australian accents since Evil Angels (a dingo took my barrr-beeee), Fellow Aussies will know what I am talking about. Yeah, I see no need to go into spoiler territory yet either, I will wait for others to see it. Highly recommended, see it on a big screen, I'm going to see it again tomorrow morning.

    I've seen two very conflicting reviews today. Sounds like different reviewers wanting to see different things. (surprise surprise) Seeing it in just over 24 hours so hopefully I will enjoy it.

    YAY, GO THE *ARGO* FFS!!!!!! Seriously, I didn't ever need to hear the Yamato called *that* again. Very distracting.......

    When I heard that this film was being made and Depp would be painted up to play Tonto, I thought "Really? In this day and age?" It truly is an outmoded form of performance, from a time when films could have racist humour and the like. Depp should have known better, of course, but how much money were they waving at him to do this. More than they were waving at Hammer, I'll bet. The other *massive* issue with this film, as critics have been pointing out, is that as a Western it is unlikely to do much successful business beyond the US domestic market. First "John Carter" and now this? I think that major studios are going to start burying their old "tentpole films" once and for all......

    I'm there, I'm sold, I don't need to watch this trailer until after Thursday week, (and I won't).
  24. taksraven
    It looks like fun. I will probably check it out when it is released here.....

    I wish it was.....
