well that did bother me at the start. considering wolverine was 5'2" (or around there) and like 300lbs (with admintium). but i have ot admit be hard to find someone like that.

Glenn Danzig? They actually picked him first, he's 5'5" and muscular.

Guess it makes sense, since IIRC it was some sort of mystical helmet that gave him his powers.


That whole part of the movie was really weak. The character (as portrayed in the movie) didn't make any logical sense.

just cause he fit the profile doesn't mean he'd be a good actore. imo they couldnt pick a better wolverine than hugh jackman. this coming from a die hard comic geek.

You're asking for "logical sense" from a movie made from a comic book?

I think Jackman makes a great Wolvie. However, they could've used CGI or something to change height.

If John Rhys-Davies can be a 4 foot nothing Dwarf, Jackman can be 5'5".

i think it would have looked really creepy if lackman was short....i think he made the perfect wolverine and it was everyone else that was stupid and sucky

Also in the movies Magneto can jack up Wolverine anytime he wishes because of his Adamantium skeletin. Not so in the comics I've read (but I haven't read any of the old ones). I don't remember Adamantium being a ferrous metal that Magneto can manipulate. Can somebody confirm this?

Jackman helped pull in the wimmins as part of the audience. Stunting him to 5' would have been a deadly blow to that category.

My wife was giddy when Wolverine was getting stripped naked at the end of X3.

Which almost elminated his mutant ability to heal fast. Prior to when Magneto ripped out the adamantium Wolverine's healing ability was as quick as portrayed in the movies..

wait...we are talking about a COMIC book here..:eek: Hugh Jackman is the perfect Wolverine. Now I don't think anyone can pull it off but him.

About 90% of the movie didnt make any sense in regards to continuity to the storyline as presented in the comics. But honestly, what did you expect? There are dozens (maybe hundreds) of characters in the Marvel universe that have enough backstory to create their own feature length film. It not suprising that they had to cut major corners to pack in as much material as they did in 3 films and still have time to devote to the main plot.

Don't get me wrong, I was kind of pissed at blatant departure from the Marvel storylines, but it was kind of inevitable, and in the end it was still fun to some of my favorite characters wreck shop in the flesh.

I admit I spent alot of money on comics too, Xmen in particular! :D I wish they could keep making these movies until all the storylines have been done. Morlock Massacre, Mr. Sinister, Apocolypse, The Reavers and Australia, Sentinels...and my favorite, Genosha.

Alot of money I dropped into comics :eek:

What? That's not right at all.

After he healed from having the adamantium pulled out, his healing ability was actually INCREASED, since his body wasn't always fighting the adamantium metal on his bones. It was just that he was weaker and couldn't take as big of a hit... ie get hit by a car.
