Why Wolverine 2 will be a success...

[TheVelvetOnion]

First off i want to say that X-Men Origins: Wolverine, wasnt as bad as alot of people are saying it is. And i say this from looking at both how the industry would look at it, and as a fan...

Cast your mind back to X-Men The Movie, i remember those days, them days on the forums... Sooo many fans were peed off with the movie because it wasnt a hundred percent retelling of the comic book.

So why do we love that movie today, yet back in the day we slated it...

Well the story is pretty simple, fans hate origin stories, There is alot of ground to cover in one singular movie and you cant make it scene by scene perfect. X-Men Origins: Wolverine, has simply gone through the same process. But it confirms 2 things, 1. because of the money generated so far, a sequel wil be made, 2. That sequel will have a bigger budget.

X-Men 1, was considered a success... the reason it was is because Bryan Singer proved he could translate x-men to the big screen. So when it came to x2, the studio gave him more creative control over the movie.

What we had was a masterpiece. although the studio did intervine Bryan had more flexability than before. And had Bryan Singer made X-men 3 he would of had the same level of freedom to make it.

But because Bryan couldnt make it, X3 went to Brett Ratner... which becomes a Risk... not because of what kind of a director Brett was, but because they couldnt predict the outcome, some X-Men 3 was heavily watched.

We movie on,

X-Men Origins: Wolverine - new director same problem... the problem is not the director but the RISK that is involved, which means Fox intervienes to protect its franchise...

Fact: in box office wise, even after the leak workprint. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was consisder a success...

So now we are back to Wolverine 2, which fox will give more creative freedom to Gavin Hood... meaning we are going to have the same level of detail, character and story in the sequel as we did in x2...

So the only thing i will say is be PRO-WOLVERINE 2 because that movie is going to amazing...!

 

[Julio Alejandro]

Yeah. That's why I believe X2 was supremely better than X-Men.

 

[weezerspider]

Wolverine wasn't as bad as some say, yes, I agree. I also agree that a Wolverine 2 does have potential to be much better than the 1st. However, do we really need a Wolverine 2?

 

[Ziggyman]

Japan story > Origin story

 

[Project862006]

shouldn't they just get singer for the sequel? wont happen because Brian has a couple projects already set up already

 

[Chewy]

fox will give more creative freedom to Gavin Hood

 

[Deaths Head II]

I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

 

[sniktsnakt]

You laugh. I cry.

You laugh at my pain.

 

[venom892]

Well I haven't read Origin or Weapon X but The Claremont/Miller Mini is one of my favorite Wolvie stories ever.However I feel that Fox will just pump a bunch of mutant cameos in W2 that aren't needed and that just because the Japan mini is a great source of material doesn't mean Fox won't toy with it and tweak to meet their ends.If they can't keep characters faithful to the source material what makes one think they can stay faithful to a whole story?

 

[bunk]

I don't even like the first X-Men anymore. It's pretty bland.

 

[venom892]

Also why is everybody assuming Gavin will be back?He might not want to do it again or he might not be interested in doing the Japan story.We can't just assume he will be attached.Look at what happened with X3 and Singer hell with X3 and Vaughn.

 

[Ratcrawler]

Oh, I don't hate Wolverine because it wasn't completely faithful to the Comic Origins. That was NEVER gonna be the case and we all knew it. Honestly, I would have disliked it more if it WAS more faithful to Wolverine's actual origin story.

No, I dislike this movie because, personally, I'm sick of Wolverine shoved down my throat as ZOMG THE GREATEST & BESTEST CHARACTER EVER LOLOLCATZ!!!!111!!1 and when X-Men 3 left the characters in such a bad place, rather than fix that they abandonned the storyline to focus it on a prequel about ZOMG THE GREATEST & BESTEST CHARACTER EVER LOLOLCATZ!!!!111!!1

But officially, I hate it because of such a piss poor story with more holes than swiss cheese at a shooting range.

Don't get me wrong, Hugh Jackman makes a wonderful (if overy tall) Wolverine and the casting was pretty sPot on. Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool was an insPired choice. But then Fox basically turned him into this movie's version of the Galactus Cloud. And lets face it, movie-goers won't care because they don't know Deapool from sPider-Man. The worst they'll say is "Oh, look another final confrontation between Wolverine and some allegedly superior mutant, what a cliche."

But back on topic, no they WON'T give Hood more creative control or a (noticeably) bigger budget for a sequel. Why? Because they made s**t on toast, leaked it onto the internet a month early where it was panned by nearly everyone who saw it and it's on its way to making $200 mill in it's first week. Fox beat the fans. They can make mindless crap out of their cash cow franchise and they know it.

I wish Singer had done this film and the sequel..it would have been more true to the character, not as soft, and consistent story telling.

-R

 

[Ratcrawler]

Not only that, but at least it would have subtext. Even The Last Stand had that. "Would you take a 'cure' to get rid of something unique about yourself to better fit into society's standards?"

What the Hell did Wolverine have? How far would you go for revenge?

 

[wHySoSeRiOuS203]

hearing that this movie gets a sequel...makes me want to rollerblade!

 

[Beanjuice]

Wolverine wasn't as bad as some say, yes, I agree. I also agree that a Wolverine 2 does have potential to be much better than the 1st. However, do we really need a Wolverine 2?

you know how Hollywood works. If there is enough demand, and money ot come, they'll make it

 

[Superhero 101]

I think we do we need another Wolverine movie right up to the point we see him in Laughlin City when we are first introduced to the character in X-men 1

 

[Colossus]

Does Wolverine become a samurai after he loses his memory?

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

If they get a better director, take alot of time to develop a good story and not make it a mediocre, generic movie with shoddy CGI effects then it'll work and be a success. They don't need a Who's Who of Mutants unless they're going to be actually a part of the story and not just used as fillers for scenes.

 

[javphonic]

I hope they keep the same team from XMO:W1, but keep in mind Singer's films

 

[RomyFan]

Whatever X-Men movie comes in the following years, Gambit better be in it.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I thought X-Men origins Wolverine was awesome, but I do think Wolverine 2 will be better, honestly. I don't know why, I just do. I mean, we have the japan story now and there was jsut so much great stuff in that 4 issue mini-series that can incorporated into this movie.

Gavin Hood is a good director, they just need a better script.

 

[FrostBite]

I agree.. it wasn't as bad as people say, the problem with it is that it was a significant step below X1, 2, and 3 in terms of quality and crapped all over the continuity.

I don't want a Wolverine 2 honestly. I've had enough of Jackman snikting up the scene. Let's get First Class and Deadpool rolling and give some new characters time to shine.

 

[night0205]

I haven't read any of the japanese story...coulds someone tell me why it's a good story?
