So I think that most of the members here are like me, surfing on this site all the time. And if you do, then you all know that The Wolverine is about to come out. While I think we should be cheerful as another movie about our favourite character is made, what I want to talk about here is that a lot of members have a really negative reaction to what they've seen so far.
I want to start with one question to any of you guys, especially ones who have been criticizing those clips lately. Why so much hate? I know that each of you will have your own reasons. But most of the time, what I see are "Claws are not right", "No gore, no blood, no interest", "fake cgi", "fighting scene sucks", "Fox sucks, hence, The Wolverine sucks". And when one come up and go against your opinion, you say that everyone is entitled to his own opinion. But if you only see this as another summer movie (afterall, it's just a movie) then what you have claims above is not valid, at all. Yes, the claws are wrong, it doesn't make the movie sucks, you can't know that until you see the movie. And I think it's disrespectful to the movie makers if you say their movie sucks even when it has not come out yet.
The same can be applied to other complaints: If you say that an good action movie have to be R rated then I think you just forgot about lots of classic movie that didn't cut arms and legs of actors out for your mere admiration. A good movie can attract its audiences by lots of reasons and R rated is not one of them. Besides, a lot of Wolverine comics don't really have crazy bloody images. So I think any guys who say Wolverine movie without limbs and blood sucks can stop criticizing so.
Whether you think CGI is bad, or fighting choreography is boring or whatever else, you can also be a little bit more quiet. Again, you are not the experts, the experts who work their ass off for each of the scene have years of experiences and it's just really disrespectful to them. And all of the things above are not important, the important thing is the story and how it is told. I think the most crazy issue with us Comicbook geeks is that we compare too much. We compare the Mandarin in Ironman 3 with his comicbook version and we got dissapointed. In my opinion, Ironman 3 can be the best Iron man movie, if we accept that Mandarin is just a plot detail for the whole story to run (But of course the problem, a stupid one indeed, of Iron man 3 is that they market the movie in such way that misled fans and audiences; was there no emphasis on a mysterious Mandarin with magical power in the trailers, then I think Trevor is such interesting character). Same goes to Wolverine, don't let a misplaced set of claws ruins your experience with the Wolverine. Say if you watch a normal sequel of a normal movie, do you get angry when they changes a little bit (like nobody against Andrew Garfield's new costume).
My point is that most of us are being so hard on comic book movies. Like any other time, I hope that The Wolverine will be exceptional, or at least good so that no one is gonna curse or criticize the movie makers and the movie itself. Hell, I even hoped Ghost rider movies to be good (but they're not and there's no way to defense them).But at least dedicated man like Hugh deserves it. I also feel bad for other CBMs that was criticized terribly such as Man of Steel. For god sake,even famous people tell the movie sucks. For me, I think that without the ending, Man of Steel won't be any good. The whole movie is like Pow!Pow!Pow! (except for Kevin Cosner's tornado scnene). The ending left us something to think, to wonder about the phylosophy behind the story of Super man. Unless to some, thinking is tiring and Pow!Pow!Pow is fascinating. I can give countless other examples, of course it's my opinion, you might disagree. Like when people said Thor isn't satisfying, well, it wasn't perfect but a meaningful lesson, a lack of little fight doesn't ruin the movie. Or Hulk (2003) was terrible, or really? I think it was much better than the Incredible Hulk (2008), it got actions, it got emotions, it got good CGI (at that time). The thing is that I hadn't read about Hulk before, so maybe I was able to advoid comparing.
So what i'm trying to say is please, be more objective toward these movies, you will do yourself a favor and enjoy them a lot more.
