X-Men Origins: Wolverine & others

Saturday night I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine and LOVED it. The action scenes were good and not overdone as they tend to do sometimes in movies like that.

Agent Zero was awesome in the begining. I loved his first shooting scene but after that there wasn't anything too incredibly special about him.

Deadpool was on track to be my favorite/school-girl crush of the film but they screwed that all up at the end. No, I do not like the way they went with Deadpool. From what I've heard this is waayyy against the comics. He's not supposed to die and I was really hoping they would have him break the 4th wall a.k.a talk to the audience, like he does in the comics. Apparently they had a scene after the credits in the first version where they show his hand grabbing his head & the head turning toward the audience saying "shhh...", this would have made my day but I guess instead they used one with Wolverine in it. I didn't see it, I never stay that long.

Gambit, who I guess has been wanted for years by fanboys, is probably my favorite from this movie. No I can't pick Wolverine, everybody loves Wolverine. I heard through the grapevine that a some people thought they over did it with his powers/mutation. I don't know what they say of him in the comics and I don't really care-in the movie Gambit was the man.

I also thought it was pretty cool how they did the White Queen's diamond skin. She didn't play much of a part in the movie but effect wise the skin was cool as hell.


My Aunt who is more of a "Wolverine" fan then an actual X-men fan, if you know what I mean (she didn't exactly hate the naked waterfall jump), was appalled to hear I hadn't really seen the other 3, so when we got home on Sunday we had an X-Men marathon to catch me up.


#1 was wonderful- I love Iceman...even though he doesn't really do anything in the first one. Yeah he'd be my little school girl crush through all 3 but in #2 I kinda like nightcrawler better.

Yes, I know weird huh?, nightcrawler over Iceman no way!...Yes way...I'm such a personality person sometimes & I love his!


But in the 3rd I return to Iceman cuz I'm not sure why but they don't include nightcrawler at all...Laaaaamme!

Anywhoodles...the 3rd didn't quite do it for me like the others did, including the new one...and I can see why comic fans may not like it at all.
To finish it off I would just like to say this...Marvel vs. DC...Marvel all the way!! X-Men is way cooler than Superman! I do like Batmen but X-men...still cooler.
What do you think...Marvel or DC??
Also...Who's your favorite of your favorite? or your favorite from each?
:)
