Qoutes from the writer

Benioff's script was terrific. It had a real urban quality. It was rough, violent, simple and focused. It could of given a true 70's style movie like Mad Max, Dirty Harry or French Connection. Then Fox decided to make X-Men 4 disguised as a Wolverine movie.

Are you serious? The script didn't resemble Wolverine to me, atleast. I mean the whole football player bully stuff is just crap, he should've kept his real origin. Which they did in a way but what we got was....oh well.

And a part from the whole football player bully, what else did you think was out of place ?
 
Well, the story was just so-so, it could've been so much more. This is what I wanted to see (in short):

1. The origin from the book including the ending so he goes his own way.

2. Logan going through several wars, like we saw in the film but by himself and 10x times more bad ass proving he really is the best at what he does.

3. Because of this, Logan's getting invited for 'Team X', along with Sabretooth, Silverfox, Maverick (and perhaps Deadpool to please fans). All of them have their own reasons to join. We see them training, Logan and Fox are starting to build a relationship and the team is finally going on a mission.

4. The team goes to Russia to retreive a 'mysterious liquid' called the C-Synth (this was from the cartoon) and encounter a Russian supersoldier called Omega Red. They defeat Omega Red and Sabretooth grabs a female scientist by her throat in that Russian lab for getting in his way, almost killing him. Logan sees the bloodlust that drives Sabretooth and tells him to let her live. He doesn't and the feud starts growing from here.

5. Logan wants out because he's become aware that this team is for mercenaries who could kill anyone, women and children.

Anyway, I could go on and on but I don't really have the time right now.
 
Yup...the writers did a mediocre job. The plot was rushed and everything felt forced with hardly any of the supporting characters getting any kind of development. It will be interesting to see the script and what was actually filmed and changed on spot because it might have been a fantastic script.
 
Sounds pretty similar to what the movie is going to show. Omega Red & Lady Deathstrike are two characters they can do later on, which is good, if you use up all the good bad guys, then you won't have any left. There are a couple things that I hope are improved for the movie.
1. Wolverine seems badass in the movie, but they went the whole (dark knight) route and made it so he doesn't kill that many people. I think this would have pushed his struggle more between being a animal and being a hero. More death, hopefully the movie will have more :). Not innocents but military, soldier, ect.
2. The longer the movie, the more time they will have to breathe, especially considering all the story they need to go through, I hope the movie is closer to 2 hours, but I hear it is 106? Maybe a Director's Cut. It really depends on the pacing and the editing, might be fit, or it might just be Fox's way of putting more show times in the theater.
3. I hope Wolverine 2 is made and no matter how good the first one is, I hope it improves.
4. Oh and It would be nice to see Deadpool become who he is.
But I do want to make a point about Deadpool, because of all of you who are complaining. The point is this: most of you complaining, didn't know much about deadpool or even care before this movie, the reason you are making it such a big deal is because of the people who do care and are passionate about it. Deadpool did not become popular for this movie because of the comics, but because of the movie itself. Those of you who are hard core deadpool fans, I'm not aiming this towards you.
 
I liked Benioff's screenplay, looks to be far superior than the finnished film. Hopefully he's still up for writing some Wolverine comics.
 
Benioff's clones had me throwing up in my mouth.
 
It's funny because I hated Benoiff's script but in a lot of ways it was better then the final one. A lot of the best lines were from it.

It still has the same problems, though. It feels more like an episode in Wolverine's past life then a movie about Wolverine as a character. But the fact they never showed how Stryker and Wolverine's relationship developed in the first place is a better approach then the final film, where they have no basis for any relationship whatsoever.

Oh yeah that bit was crap. Should have been fixed easily-enough though... a long and brutal fight with Wolverine and Sabretooth would have sufficed.
 
I'm sorry but everything i've heard about benioff's script sounds...really bad. Clones, football? You people should be happy with the direction they took this movie, away from that. I don't think you people are really mad about the story of this movie, I think you are mad about specifics in the story. Deadpool, uh, well i can't really think of anything else. :)

I don't remember seeing any clones or football players running around in the tv spots.

The basic flow of the story is essentially the same though. The final script was better overall but Benoiff's script actually had a lot of stuff the final cut should have kept in like Wolverine becoming animal-like and hanging out with wolves after the Adamantium bonding process. I would make a list of the elements I strongly preferred they kept in, but I don't know if it would count as spoilers. I really didn't like Benoiff's script, but I feel they cut and kept some stuff they shouldn't have. Like they kept Agent Zero as a complete *****e and Blob as a pointless cameo, but they reduced Dr. Hines' role.

Also, the best dialogue in the film came from the original script. There were plenty of good lines they should have used in the final film as well.

Munson: "I take it after this, Weapon X won't be walking through any metal detectors."

Stryker: "After this, Weapon X will walk wherever he wants."
 
I would have liked to see Wolverine hanging with wolves and becoming more animal like. Like I said above, that is one thing I think should have been done to make the film stronger...pushing the envelope of Animal Vs. Hero. I agree, that from what I have "seen", take that as you will, that wolverine doesn't act or be tempted as much to be the animal he is in this movie. I always hoped that he would become more like that further on in the series...if Wolverine 2 is made. Or who knows, maybe reshoots will have more of his animal self...? If I was doin reshoots that's what I would try and focus on, and from what I have "seen" it seems to be the character arc that they are trying to focus on. It just needs to be stronger.
 
Can someone point me towards this script?

Nah, he's really not.

As far as the original script?

Football player bullies, Sabretooth clones, Wolverine running around with wolves? Wow, that script sounded really awful.
 
Wolverine getting his name the way he did in this movie was awful:o
