The Wolverine The Wolverine Unleashed Extended Edition Blu-Ray: December 3

[Nathan]

We finally got the perfect Team with Jackman and Mangold. I hope the next Movie will be even better. And the next Unrated Cut maybe not as bloody, but way more creative.

 

[Ipodman]

I don't know about the Unrated cut, but the theatrical cut of THE Wolverine was really gruesome to me... with a sword through his body, arrows stuck to his back etc etc. The only other gruesome scene in any X-men film is when Wolverine is fighting Lady Deathstrike and they're poking each other repeatedly.

This photo is SICK! Jackman should win some kind of award for his physical transformation for the role of Wolverine.



Edit: This is a new promo image released before the upcoming home release of this year's The Wolverine.

But no.... awards people are only interested in actors that LOSE weight for movies (Matthew McC. in Dallas Buyers Club, I'm talking about you!).

I just saw the alternate ending. Oh man that is the best alternate ending ever! Fanboys everywhere would have lost their minds, heck I think that would have made people forgive the somewhat silly 3rd act of the film.

If I had to guess I think Mangold left it out because having that scene implies that Logan WILL be wearing the suit in his next appearance and I don't think Mangold wanted to give anybody unrealistic expectations as he probably did not know what was going to happen in DOFP or even if he'd be doing another Wolverine movie. If he had left that scene in and Logan ended up not suiting up in DOFP or his next solo movie then the fans would be like "WTF? Why isn't he wearing the suit they teased at the end of his last movie???". He probably figured "this'll be something nice for the fans when the blu ray comes out, let's just film this for fun".

I think Jackman's transformation is just as importance for the performance and just as impressive.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

we finally get to see the suit!!!

but it was cut out

Eh, it's about as gruesome as seeing the T-1000 get shot. All the stabbing and slicing loses a lot of impact, when there's barely any visible damage and blood spilling. The most gruesome thing in the Theatrical Cut, was the heart surgery. The Unrated Cut does a lot to rectify that, and adds some nice blood splatters and bloody claws, that really sells the fact that you have a guy with some really sharp claws running around.

I think you're 100% right. The haters however are talking as if it would've improved tge movie which is just non-sense and blaming Fox for not including it when it isn't neccessary

 

[def28]

Relax. Why does everything have to be a hate war? That hate is not on these boards. The majority are fans of the film, and wanted it left cause its exciting and just wanted a chance to see it. Myself included.

But I agree with Kguilliou's post. If we are not seeing the mask in DOFP then that would have been an odd set up and definitely gave expectations.

 

[kguillou]

Although, I will say.....obviously someone took the time to design and the create the outfit. And I know these things take time and effort to make and you can tell its not some cheaply made outfit. It would be a shame if it was never used.

 

[BlackFox]

Obviously leaving that scene in wouldn't have altered the entire film or changed people's mind about a good or bad film but it would have ended on an even more positive note and maybe we would have talked more about that rather than whether the third act sucked or not.

But hey it is what it is, at least its one of the better alternate endings and one worth talking about instead of the usual lame slight change in words that they usually turn out to be.

Its great we will have this little extra bit on the side as an easter egg (we still havnt had an answer as to if it is part of the extended version or not, I assume not) but whatever their reason for not having that ending at much as I would have liked it, they delivered a great film and thats all that matters in the end

 

[danoyse]

I showed my dad the alternate ending (on my phone) just before we saw Thor 2 this morning. He just said, "Oh, you're KIDDING?!" and cracked up. He loved it.

We also had a blast at Thor 2, and they showed the DOFP trailer on the IMAX screen. It looked glorious. t:

That's exactly why I'm thinking it was cut in the first place. People would have been expecting to see it in DOFP, and would have been up in arms if it wasn't there. They had no solid plans for a sequel to TW, so why tease the suit if there was a possibility that there was no chance of seeing it?

It's like I've heard a few people complain about the extended cut not being the one released into theaters. Well, if it's better now, and you can watch it whenever you want...what's the problem?

 

[Legion]

But they chopped off Wolverine's adamantium claws without knowing if Singer would bring over that aspect to DOFP. We still don't know if Logan will have bone claws in the future...him wearing a different costume than expected in a setting that takes place 10 years in the future is easier to explain.

 

[Snikt]

I was hoping to see the Days of Future Past trailer in front of Thor 2...but sadly not present.

Really looking forward to seeing the extended cut...can't wait to see the longer version of the ninja fight in the village.

 

[BlackFox]

I know this isnt really the topic but the DOFP trailer did look 10 times better on the big screen compared to You Tube. Worked so much better and now cant wait for it...........but I want Wolverine 3 even more now!!

Just got in a debate with some friends over that. I don't get it either. I'm just beyond stoked we are getting that cut instead of it sitting on the shelves or being left on the cutting room floor.

 

[Tequilla]

To xmen fans , is there any news regarding Aronofsky take on this project ? Because Wolverine , albeit not being particularly bad , is so incredibly derivative of every piece of fiction regarding a foreign out of his element in japan , that i dont believe he would attach himself to such a simple story .

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I think Jackman said something originally about how it was much more serious, and although loved the Mangold version, still wanted to see what Darren's would have been like. The first comment isn't surprising, given Aaronofsky's track record.

I remember reading some of what the supposed script was meant to be a while back it included stuff like Yukio having sex with another woman on the train and bizzare sort of stuff like that. Logan was the only mutant in the film also I think.

 

[Nathan]

I would have definitely preferred it, if Wolverine was the only Mutant in the Movie. Changing Yukio and Viper into Mutants, felt like change for the sake of change. And I would've scrapped Viper, or at least gotten a different actress. I can't exactly explain why, but I just didn't like the actress.
