So didn't you guys see the film? Where are the reactions..
Oh, there was a film too?? I almost forgot after all of that...
The movie was great. I definitely need to see it again (and I will on Thursday), since I was still getting over the whole stage thing...but they did a great job.
I don't want to give too much away, but..
-They definitely marketed it so wrong. There's much more drama, a lot more character. And those clips were saw? It's a fraction of what the final scenes are in the movie.
-It's nastier, which is good. Wolverine curses a lot in this one (one a got a ton of applause), and he's meaner than we've seen him before. It's definitely more violent, and one scene that I had no idea was coming had me actually flinching in my seat.
-The fight scenes were awesome. People applauded when he said "The Wolverine" when Shingen asked "Who are you??"
-And that ladies were fabulous. We don't see a lot of Mariko in the previews, but she's got a big part in the film and her scenes with Hugh are great. They're actually really funny together in a few places. Same with Yukio, who I'd love to see more of in future films. Viper seemed added on...obviously she needs to be there for what happens in the story, but she was pretty nasty too.
-The third act seems to get the most flack, but I enjoyed it. Again, it's nastier than anything we've seen before, but it was a solid action sequence for me.
-The audience went ballastic for the end credits scene. It's awesome. Happens about midway through the end credits, and it's great!!
So, I loved it. Of course, I got to go up on stage with Hugh before the movie, so I watched it still flipping out over that, but I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it even more on Thursday.
