James Logan Wolverine - It tickled (good bye Com 130)

The whole blog is changed, just one more keyword search and no more writing for the COM 130 class at Lindenwood University. Not that I don’t like that class, I actually like it a lot. As our final project we have to come up with post about subjects we like or in my case, love. There is nothing that I love more than entertainment. Entertaining and be entertained. In all forms, movies, music, television, musicals, internet, a very broad subject. So don’t expect anything to particular, whatever I did, found bought this week I will write about! Hope you guys enjoy it.

Last Thursday I went to watch Wolverine at the midnight session. Coming from Brazil it took me some getting used to with the prices for tickets. Compared to Brazil going to the movies here is really expensive, but nothing would keep me away from watching Wolverine. Me and my friends were the first ones in the theater and I couldn’t wait for the movie to start.



Spoiler Warning

Directed by Gavin Hood (Tsotsi, Rendition) and stared by Hugh Jackman, the movie comes out average. Gavin doesn’t have that much experience with action movies and we can see that in how much the story in wolverine is developed, although I don`t question his direction abilities, he is good. Hugh Jackman, once again shows us how talented he is, and how perfect he is for this part, great acting and commitment to character.

To be honest I expected a little more from the movie, although I liked it and I would watch it again. I liked the story, and the action sequences at the beginning are really exciting. Now, from when his loves dies till he goes to find Striker the movie is pointless. Good direction, good special and sound effects, but nothing really special really. Gambit was interesting, but I wish they had gone simpler with the special effects they used. This is what happens when you give too much money to a production following a success (X-men trilogy in this case). The special effects were cluttered in a few scenes instead of being spread out throughout the movie which, in my humble viewer and student opinion would have been better.

The scenes at the nuclear island are interesting, we have an interesting twist on the story and Dead Pool shows up. Ryan Reynolds has my complete and utter respect. We can tell he worked hard, and the face and eyes of Dead Pool are n extra point for this movie. We have Scott Summers/ Cyclops giving a special appearance in this movie. It made me happy that they didn’t make it as big of a fuss as I thought they would about that (please, no Cyclops spin-offs). The last fighting scene is adrenaline pumped and we see Logan and Victor working together which was really exciting. Dead Pool is not a really fun person to have fighting scenes with, him being so powerful and all, but it really worked. You get out of the theater asking for more, I do hope they come up with Wolverine II or something, let`s be honest, who doesn’t want to see Wolverine in the search of who he is?




William Stryker: You were sentenced to death for decapitating a Senior Officer. Your sentence was carried out by a firing squad at ten hundred hours. How'd that go?
Logan: It tickled.
