I just saw the trailer and screamed when I saw Gambit. I've waited 3 X Men films for this guy! I haven't sseen Taylor Kitsch' acting skills aside from The Covenant (which does nto really say much) but it seems he'll do a nice job portraying the character. What I don't understand though is does Gambit meet Wolverine in Wolverine's past or in present timeline?
I am also very excited to see Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool

Saw it last night. Really enjoyed it, but you know I don't think I would have liked it at all if Hugh Jackman hadn't been in it. He really made the movie, no question. Okay writing, mediocre direction, bad fx, but excellent Jackman. 
During the movie, I thought of this randomly- doesn't this song fit Wolverine/Kayla pretty perfectly? Never really completely understood the lyrics (still don't! :lol: ), but I think it really fits them. Someone should make a vid. :nod:
Heartbeats - The Knife/Jose Gonzalez
One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine sense
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
One night of magic rush
The start, a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
And you
You knew the hand of the devil
And you
Kept us awake with wolves' teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one night
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

I totally agree with every positive comment about this movie. My favorite character is Wolverine and he's absolutely adorable. The action is pretty much as reading the comics and it's not that far from the Marvel universe.
Regarding Sabretooth, I think Liev is perfect for the role. It's quite different from Tyler's version but it can be described as Victor still duelling between his human side and his beast side. Eventually after fifteen years, he finally fell for his savage self. I saw the first XMen movie again after Origins and I could make the connection between both representations. It makes more sense to me now Tyler's Sabretooth's obsession with Logan's dogtags.
By the way, I think that the name Logan is James' mercenary name and that's why everybody in his team called him by it. Most of those guys didn't give their real names away so easily.
But anyway, those are little details that can be seen as flaws (personally I don't and I can excuse most of them
) but the movie is fair with Wolverine and the rest of the cast. I liked it and that's why I've seen it four times already (and still counting!)

This movie is really entertaining and fun! I don't care if a lot of the population are saying it sucks (according to some movie forums and "reviews"), I loved it. It's great entertainment.
Also, Ryan Reynolds is just so cool. I now think i am in love with him. I also think that Scarlett Johansson is so lucky to be married to him. Agent Zero is also a very nice addition with Gambit.
Liev Schreiber as Sabertooth is the highlight for me though. He is such a talented man.

Answer me something: The actress that played the doctor that hung around with Stryker, that wasn't Anna Torv of Fringe was it? That's who I kept thinking of when I saw her.
Possible SPOILERS BELOW
I got into the theater just in time to see ROTF's Theatrical trailer on the big screen; So freakin' awesome. That aside, X-Men: Origins Wolverine was not a terrible Superhero movie; far, far superior to The Last Stand, which isn't really a hard thing to achive, just not on par with X-Men and X2: X-Men United. I thought they handled the multiple mutant appearances a whole lot better than X3 did as well, and actually managed to inflict some personality in them. I was little disheartened that Dominic Monaghan, who I totally forgot would be in this movie, ended up with such a brief appearance, but he made it his own.
First off, lemmie just say that Ryan Reynolds stole the freakin' show as Wade Wilson/Deadpool; Granted, his character reminded me of his rendition of Hannibal King from Blade: Trinity (sans the irritating part about that character), even seemed to be wearing the same attire, but damn he was awesome. Had the best show-off sequence in the movie IMHO. I even liked him when he ended up as the butchered Deadpool-Weapon XI ["The Merc withOUT a mouth"]. I mean butchered in a Frankstien way, mind you. The only draw back was that he wasn't mouthing off
. Hormonally speaking, Reynolds is fit as hell and was the best part about that tag-team battle at the end of the movie. I could stare his body all day long.
Anyways, the Action was exciting, if not a bit choppy at times; I thought a lot of the action sequences could've been way more refined. Will.i.am gave a better performance as John Wraith than I expected, Blob wasn't as terrible as most people described (hoaky as it was, I bought the fatsuit/CGI Blob), I was content as a puppy when I saw young Scott Summers & Emma Frost, and the flow of the movie wasn't terribly jarring. It moved pretty smoothly until it got the more "urgent" sequences of the film.
Other performances were great as well; Danny Huston made a great Young!William Stryker, only problem is that he felt like an entirely different character when compared with Brain Cox's Stryker. He lacked the air of "sinister"-ness that Cox brought in X2, mainly. Liev Schreiber, on the other hand, was an excellent Sabertooth. He was probably the only villian in this movie, aside from Weapon-XI, that came off as threatening. He was very different from Tyler Mane's silent, kinda-stupid, and menacing Sabertooth (with a thing for Storm), which isn't a terrible thing at all. I like both portrayals, but Liev's just creates another Movieverse-Continuty Error though. Finally, Harry Gregson-Williams score was highly enjoyable; Not as great as his previous efforts, like say Kingdom of Heaven or his Narnia scores, but enjoyable all the same.
Some of things, however, that bothered me, were:
Lastly: The Ending I got was Syrker walking down the road with bloodied feet, being halted by the Military and told that he was to be brought in for questioning about the death of that General Dude, so I'm guessing there are three official endings, the rumored one about Wade picking up Deadpool's head and asking what he's supposed to be, not really counting as it has yet to be documented.

Finally, Harry Gregson-Williams score was highly enjoyable; Not as great as his previous efforts, like say Kingdom of Heaven or his Narnia scores, but enjoyable all the same.
Some of things, however, that bothered me, were:
- The fact that Wolverine retains his memory after the Adamantium procedure. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was the entire reason Logan lost his memory, right? (Both in the comics and the movie, as implied in the previous two films.) I know there wouldn't be much a movie he didn't keep his memory intact, but the end result used just made me facepalm (I mean, "His memories won't grow back" because he got shot in the with Adamantium bullets, which quite honestly should've bounced off his head? That's just weak, even the doctor lady thought so. I could just imagine Danny Huston facepalming when he said that. Oy).
- This movie just feels like one big Continuity error when you compare it to the two (or three) films. Yes, there were references to the other two films, and even Professor Xavier makes an appearance, but nothing really seemed to fit or come off as something I could believe happened before X1 & X2. Origins feels more like a stand alone flick than an actual prequel that fits with the rest of the bridge.
- How does Silverfox being Emma Frost's sister work? I'm automatically assuming that she's either lying to save her skin, or "Silverfox" is actually Cordelia or Adrienne Frost. Oh, wait... damnit, this is Movieverse. I took that a little too literally.
- For the most part, Taylor kitsch, makes a passable Movieverse Gambit/Remy LeBeau; Got most apparent mannerisms of the Cajun down such as the card shuffling/staff twirling and combat, smartmouthing, but is it wrong to think he wasn't much of a Gambit because he couldn't hold the dman creole accent and didn't resonate the character too much after he gets his ass handed to him by Wolverine twice over?
- Why the hell did Scott/Cyclops book it when he saw Sabertooth at the window of the school? Is something that was in the Bootleg version that was cut out?
- I kept looking for demi-Storm, despite knowing she wouldn't be in the final cut. I blame myself for this "bother".
- The constant pauses in the otherwise, great opening sequence, annoyed me to no end.
- I thought Hugh Jackman was going to break into a song and dance everytime he shouted "Victor!"
- The CGI is so unrefined its appaling; I could see them getting away with that lack of detail is this was the year 2000 (see: Wolverine's stunt on Liberty's crown in X-Men). The first three movies, to my recollection, used practical effects when it came to Wolverine's claws; Why is it that Origins felt the need to CGI them? It came off looking so hoaky, I grimanced everytime I saw them. Where did all the money for this movie go? Certainly not into Jackman's paycheck, right?
- Wolverine does the howl of anguish/rage six times in this movie. His fights with Victor not counting. Six times.
- Why the hell was everyone calling James Howlett, "Logan"? It wasn't on his dog tags or anything.
Lastly: The Ending I got was Syrker walking down the road with bloodied feet, being halted by the Military and told that he was to be brought in for questioning about the death of that General Dude, so I'm guessing there are three official endings, the rumored one about Wade picking up Deadpool's head and asking what he's supposed to be, not really counting as it has yet to be documented.

Gambit isn't even a part of Wolverine's backstory. Gambit at the most encountered Sabretooth and Storm before joining the X-Men, but that's about it. I wonder what the writers are gonna do with the Gambit-Wolverine connection. :look:
