Actually now looking back I think overall Watchmen was pretty good. At the very least its action scenes were clear, well-staged and completely fun. I liked watching people actually punch and hit their opponents. They didn't seem to cheap out with quick cut bullshit.

Yes it would have, it's all garbage.

Marvel is in the business of making safe lowest common denominator bullshit movies for the man-children of America. You don't hire Darren Aronofsky for that.

I haven't seen the movie. But the comic book was terrible. The ending was pure lols too.

Aronofsky is a big fan of anime, and he acknowledged the similarities to Black Swan and Perfect Blue. I don't think pulp literature is somehow beneath him and his oeuvre.

I wasn't terribly interested in this movie, even when Aronofsky was assigned to the project, but I was looking forward to his spin on Wolverine surpassing Nolan's efforts on Batman.

The sequel finally has a release date.

After multiple delays and a high-profile change in directors, The Wolverine finally appears set to bare its claws. EW has confirmed that the sequel to 2009′s X-Men Origins: Wolverine is slated to hit theaters July 23, 2013, an indication that studio 20th Century Fox is reasonably confident that the film will start shooting this year.

Just under a year ago, Darren Aronofsky bowed out of directing the project, citing concern that the film’s lengthy prospective shoot in Japan would keep him away from his family for too long. By June, James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line) had been picked to replace him, but delays have pushed the film’s start date from last fall into this year.

Jackman, meanwhile, recently concluded the Broadway run of his one man show, and he’s currently rehearsing for Tom Hooper’s big screen adaptation of Les Misérables, which begins production in March.

R-rated or no deal. Of course that'll never happen...

The first movie pretty much sucked. Unless this movie tries to be legit bad-ass and does away with tired cliches and pointlessly shoehorning in countless Marvel cameos, it'll suck just as much. Make Logan a savage maniac and tear him loose on Japan, dammit.

It really just needs two things:

1: A decent script. Why is this so hard?

2: As Dole said, R rating. Tear some shit up.

The first Wolverine movie was quite the mix of good actors and terrible, terrible writing.

The effects weren't nearly as bad as everyone's been bitching (aside from the claws in the mirror scene), the fights were good, and the pace was nice and fast. Good stuff- certainly WAAAYYY better then X3.

Wat?
