I am not a big X-Men fan so you can take what I say here with a grain of salt. I did find the first X-Men movie entertaining enough but have to say Wolverine just didn't measure up to it. It was okay and the blu-ray disc offered great picture and sound, but this is not a movie I'd care to watch again, so it was a rental. In fact, the only X-men movie I own is the first. But for the hardcore X-men fans, I'm sure they will love Wolverine. Others may want to rent it out of curiosity, especially if they have a Blu-ray player.

I'm not a huge X men fan either. I have read there comic books years ago , I watched the cartoon when it first came out years ago and I own all of the movies including Wolverine.
I think it was a pretty good movie. I liked it. I own it and will watch it again. I thought the story was cool and the movies flowed well. Good mix of story and action.
As far as Picture and sound on Blu ray, it was excellent. Great recording and well placed action.- Bottom

I didn't actually find the PQ to be all that great. On some scenes, it felt a bit grainy. The movie was great to me. It didn't really follow the Weapon X story, but it was still entertaining. Deadpool was just too bad ass in this movie. I actually liked this over any of the other X-Men movies. It was less of a kid's movie though. But I already watched it twice. I'll watch it again.B&W 804S/Velodyne SPL-1000R/Anthem MRX720- Bottom

I was a fan of the comic...so my comments may be too esoteric, but the timeline is totally screwed. Logan's memory was erased, but nobody else had that issue. In later movies these people see each other again, they act like they have never met. I know Cyclops was blindfolded, but come on, no one described the man who set them free. Sabertooth doesn't act like he knows Wolverine in X-Men. These shortcomings are the problems of the X-Men Movies franchise. Could anyone explain, with twenty+ years of comics would you need to struggle with a screenplay? You have storyboards! I've never understood why they remake the wheel. Great artists and writers have given you years of canon, and that's not good enough . I'll get off my soapbox.
Anyway, picture and sound were good, but the movie was more of the same. If you liked X-Men, you'll love this... Me, not so much.

Bmac, since you were a fan of the comics back then as I was, then you know you can't watch these Marvel movies with expectations of matching the comic. There are a lot of things that don't match. They don't make it to match exactly. But it's a good story line... it's somewhat solid... and they're entertaining, you know.B&W 804S/Velodyne SPL-1000R/Anthem MRX720- Bottom

Agreed, but with movies like Iron Man, 300, and the Watchmen. I think we need to hold them to a higher and tighter standard, they are making a movie based on Battleship the game. They are not above making another Wild Wild West. Yes, the Dark Knight did change somethings, but not a huge risk. I just think that sticking to the story makes and keeps more fans happy.Epson Home Cinema 1080p, Panasonic TH42PX600U, Onkyo PR-SC 886, Earthquake Cinenova 7, Sony 400 Disk dvd, Paradigm studio 20' v.4s, Outlaw LFM-1 & LFM-2,Tripp lite line cond, Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD, Playstation 3, Roku, & WD TV, APC AV H15- Bottom

True. But I'm talking about Marvel though. That's why I mentioned Marvel movies. Marvel movies are always made with entertainment in mind. Iron-Man is the exception... and I think mostly because of Jon Favreau. But you're right... Watchmen was an almost flawless transfer (I read the comic after the movie), and Dark Knight just set a new standard for comic movies.B&W 804S/Velodyne SPL-1000R/Anthem MRX720- Bottom

Originally posted by IndustrialCute, I knew Disney is taking over Marvel but I didn't even think of that when I wrote my post. I wonder if this will cause all the marvel movies to be "Tame".
No, my concern is over-saturating the market with a successful product. We don't seem to be able to resist that tendency.- Bottom

Funny how when Wolverine pulls out the claws there is never any blood or guts.
I must be an animal LOL.But I understand they have limits.
I have the movie,watched it twice.And again at times.I hope they make another.
At least it was more intense than the previous x-men movies.A Man should never Gamble more than he can stand to loose.- Bottom

They do show that he bleeds (bone or metal)... but only the first time. After that, there's no blood. It was the same in the comics.
...and guts??? You want his skin tissues to go flying out of his hands? ha ha haB&W 804S/Velodyne SPL-1000R/Anthem MRX720- Bottom

Yes...I was referring to other people.LOLI think there could have been some pretty sick visuals with blood dripping of claws like that.Not even Jason from Friday he 13th stacks up to those claws. But to wolverines credit he did swear.LOL Cover your ears kiddies.A Man should never Gamble more than he can stand to loose.- Bottom

I got a copy from the Red Box last week.
By far, the best of Xmen series, IMHO.
I am no aficionado of Marvel characters, so the storyline was all new to me.
I felt it was a V well done 'fantasy', with excellent script and acting.
I get these types of flicks for pure escape and entertainment, this one delivered the good for me.- Bottom
