Is it wrong that I want to see Real Steel?

Better plot.

HAHA, I think I'm one of the few people in these nerdy forums that thought the entire X-Men movies that came out where complete trash. They are awful and Hugh starred in them all. I did like his role in the Prestige though and a few other movies. I don't find him a terribly great actor though. Not bad, but not great. I'll catch this movie sometime later on Netflix if I can remember it when it finally gets put on Netflix 3 years from now.

I thought the first two were ok when I first saw them, but now think they're pretty bad. The second one is the best, but its an average movie made worse by its atrocious use of the X-Men franchise. The first one is an even more mediocre movie. The third is just awful every way you put it. I haven't seen Origins because I thought it looked so bad.

I had actually thought Hugh made an ok Wolverine, until I watched some of the animated series again and remembered how much more badass he's supposed to be.

I thought that the original trilogy was mediocre at best, never understood the hard-ons people have for the series. Never really liked Wolverine as he always talks smack but really didn't do anything - having said that, I thought Hugh Jackman was much too tall, clean and handsome to be Wolverine.

I did, however, really liked the X-Men:First Class movie.

The Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots Movie... and other shit people in the 1970s never thought would actually exist. Take that!

Glad I'm not the only one.

Not as much as wanting to see Battleship.

(Yes, there is a movie based on the board game Battleship coming out.)

For once the guy was right, it is aliens.

Because of that I actually thought Real Steel was doing the same thing with Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.

Both look just awful.

Wolverine is my favorite. He actually did a lot (although he spent more time talking shit and getting his ass kicked in the animated series than anything, but he was better in the comics). I didn't have an issue with Jackman's looks although yeah he was a bit tall. It was just everything as a whole was lacking.

I haven't watched First Class yet. I thought it looked pretty bad to be honest so I skipped it.

Not discrediting you (as I didn't read the comics growing up) but what did he do, specifically? As far as the comics I've read he really didn't do anything bad nor go on a killing rampage like how the comic nerds (and other comic characters) make him out to be.

You should watch First class, it was really well done.

I thought first class was a big meh.

while X-Men 2 was one of the better--top 5, easily--comic book movies out there.

He definitely wasn't the comic book Wolverine, but I thought Jackman did a great job, playing that role that was written for the screen.
 
I'll watch it sometime probably, but I don't have high expectations of a live action Rockem Sockem Robots. Still, I can't say that I'm entirely uninterested. It just that my experiences with movies of this ilk have jaded me.
 
Got my tickets for Friday night's showing (non-IMAX). Using my sprint movie ticket takedown since those are about to expire. $4/ticket ain't bad.

The AMC theater I'm going to is charging $16/ticket for the IMAX version. Holy F that's expensive.
 
It might be ok without the kid. With the kid it looks like another tired version of 'enthusiastic kid helps bitter has-been finally reach his full potential'.
 
The poster outside made me cringe, the preview before my movie wasn't as bad as the poster made it look. It's still not something I will go see though, but I'm sure it will be fun for the targeted audience.
 
Without question the best Hugh Jackman movie about a kid that teaches his arrogant dad a lesson that beats up robots for a living all year.

LOL

Regarding the X-Men movies...Hugh Jackman is a pretty good Wolverine. I mostly remember that character taking a beating and rushing in while acting kind of nuts. He didn't seem to take the role to seriously in the horrible origins movie but with a script like that who would? He isn't "a little to tall" though...he's WAY TO FUCKING TALL. Wolverine is 5'3" meaning he should be the shortest character on screen unless there are children present. It's understandable that a more attractive version of the character would appear during the Hollywood transition but Hugh Jackman is a tall guy, not an averag height guy.
 
Wolverine is 5'3"? Is that with the hunch? He only seemed short to me when crouched over, which tends to be his normal stance.

I never thought of him as a 5'3" midget, though. :hmm:
