Tyler Perry presents his latest Tyler Perry version of Tyler Perry's The Wolvermedearine, a Tyler Perry production in association with Tyler Perry Productions and Tyler Perry Films.

I thought this was a superhero movie, not an Alan Moore biopic.

How are they going to explain why the 1940s Wolverine looks at least 10 years older than 2000 Wolverine?

TheManofPA: Peter Dinklage!

He's playing Bat-Mite in the next Batman reboot

No. No. He's playing BATMAN in the next movie reboot.

Mad_Radhu: I thought this was a superhero movie, not an Alan Moore biopic.

Niiiiice.

Here's hoping that this completely erases the memory of the abomination that was X-Men Origins: The Wolverine.*

I'll leave it at that.

WHY CAN'T IT BE BOTH?

MBK: Mugato: Hoban Washburne: Honestly, I like Hugh Jackman, but his version of the character needs to go away. He's a full farking foot taller than he's supposed to be, and he's a remnant from the important, yet horribly funded original X-Men movie

In their defense, you're not going to find an above-the-title movie star who is 5'3. Maybe Tom Cruise but they use every trick in the book to make him not look 5'3.

Peter Dinklage!

He'd make a good Puck.

Hoban Washburne: Honestly, I like Hugh Jackman, but his version of the character needs to go away. He's a full farking foot taller than he's supposed to be the Marvel comics version of the character, and he's a remnant from the important, yet horribly funded original X-Men movie.

This isn't comic book Wolverine. It's another version of the same character. A taller version. I read Wolverine and X-Men comics as a child and a teenager, and I have no problems with Jackman.

I enjoyed his performance in all X-Men movies. The third movie was crap, but Jackman had nothing to do with writing or producing it, so I can't hold it against him. The same could be said of the Wolverine movie, which I haven't seen, because so many people have told me not to see it.

Same way they'll explain why Gandalf looks looks a decade older in a movie that takes place a generation* earlier?

*actually not sure what the time gap between The Hobbit and LOTR is

*SPOILER ALERT*

Middle Earth isn't real.

The thing is, he doesn't. It helps that Ian McKellen was old to begin with. Hugh Jackman on the other hand has aged from handsome early-30s to mid-40s.

The easiest way to deal with that movie is to pretend that it was one of Deadpool's delusions.

actually the easiest way to deal with it is to have missed it entirely (didnt see X3 either and just recently watched First Class

I see Hugh Jackman's mutant power is the ability to become a hobo at will.

I have no problem with Hugh Jackman's wolverine, don't give a flying fark about the height issue, and still don't get all the hate on him about it for some reason.. But wtf is this one supposed to be if not just a mulligan on the origins crap?

/wanted a cameo in captain america, not xmen first class :(

You can blame Marvel's marketing and licensing for that not ever happening. Capt. America is produced by Disney. Xmen by Fox. As Hugh is likely contracted to play Wolverine from now till death (probably some deal with Satan sorta thing, although Rupert Murdoch isn't that far removed), Wolverine will only be in Fox produced movies. Sorry, bub.

Unless Fox just hands over the licensing back to Marvel / Disney.

Wait, this is actually an X-Man movie? I assumed it was a wildlife documentary or some other project involving Jackman and we were just being sarcastic.

Jeez.

fusillade762: *actually not sure what the time gap between The Hobbit and LOTR is

A year or so before Frodo starts his messing about Bilbo turns 111. In The Hobbit he was something on the order of 40 or 50. So 60 to 70 years between.

Frodo isn't actually a blood relative of Bilbo, iirc, he was something like an adopted heir because Bilbo's family was always hassling him over who would get all his shiat when he died.

Either way, doesn't really matter that much since The Hobbit is very firmly written from Bilbo's perspective until the very end (with a couple very, very out-of-place passages about the actual hero of the story, who doesn't appear until like the second-to-last chapter, never gets a single line of dialogue, and disappears unremarked after his heroic archery from nowhere). So the dwarves are arbitrarily fractious and greedy, the trolls are stupid to an exaggerated degree, Gollum is more pitiful than threatening, and Gandalf is, like, waaaaaay old, man. Whereas in LOTR there's an attempt to present characters from the perspective of an abstracted third-person perspective and the character's personalities as they relate to the plot are more important than how they relate to the protagonist.

Am I the only one that liked X3?

I'm not saying it was my favorite or anything, but I thought it was enjoyable. Well worth the $0.00 I paid to see it....

Go watch this, which was written by Joss Whedon and the storyline on which X3 is based and see how it stacks up to the source material.

/hint: not well.

Why would I give a crap about how it stacks up against source material I've never read?

I care about whether it was worth the two hours of my life or not. It was. It wasn't Star Wars or The Dark Knight or anything, but it was an enjoyable movie. I was glad I watched it.

Is this going to suck like Origins?

Why so hairy? It's not like he doesn't have something to cut his hair with.

Origins was okay, IF you treated it as a stand alone movie with no source material.

About fifty years or so, if I remember correctly. At least that long, Bilbo was in his early 50s in the beginning of The Hobbit, and he's 111 in the beginning of Fellowship.

Bilbo was 50 exactly, I think. And Frodo was 50 when he left the Shire, but 33 on Bilbo's 111th birthday. 33 was 'coming of age' when hobbits are considered adults.

Did anyone catch the 19 year leap in time in the Fellowship of the Ring movie. It wasn't mentioned in the movie, but that's how long it took between two consecutive scenes in the movie if you go by the book.

My previous post is related to Alphax's just above it.

Aboleth: My previous post is related to Alphax's just above it.

Yeah, they left out that gap of years, watching for the Enemy to move, and treated Frodo as a young man throughout the movies.

Granted, now that I think of it, Frodo possessing the Ring at 33 would keep him looking 33 from then on. Also Gandalf had his own ring. But we're getting far afield.

Origins was almost as bad as Phantom Menace.

YodaBlues: Jackman produced the Wolverine movie, along with his production company. He's definitely shares the blame for that filmed abortion.

I did not know that. I stand corrected.

It was the worst of the first 3, but it wasn't terrible by any means. I never understood all the hate it got.

Because a lot of people really thought it was truly terrible. And it is.
