X-Men Origins Inspired by Source Material

OK NOW I REALLY WANNA SEE HUGH JACKMAN IN THE WOLVERINE OUTFIT....REALLY.

damm....the movie is realy bad .......so i understand all that stuff .....the Script is preety nice but the visualization of the movie is damm ..( for kids )
and by the way Deadpool at the end was a true .....bad

Wow...crazy how much Hugh looks like that depiction of Wolvie

Its funny cuz no matter how much you "true" fans complain about this its gonna make alot of money. X-Men 1 and 2 were really good movies with really high percentages on Rotten Tomatoes and they took ALOT of liberties with the story.

THERES ALOT OF HATERS OUT THERE, TRUE, IT DOESNT FOLLOW EXACTLY TO THE WHOLE COMIC LORE, IT TOUCHES ON KEY THINGS, BUT IF YOU REALLY STUCK TO THE COMIC STORY VERBATIM, IT JUST WOULDNT CINEMATICALLY FLY..I THINK THE FIRE IN THE STORIES STAYS IN THE BOOKS AND THE CINEMA SCREENS ARE TOUCHING THE HEAT BUT NOT IN EXTREME DETAIL...ALL IN ALL, THEY JUST MAKE THE EYE CANDY, JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT, WERE LUCKY THE MOVIE GOT MADE PERIOD.

I think you've got a point, GUNSMITH... as long as they don't completely obliterate what makes the character great, then a few changes aren't so bad. its when they butcher a character (and i'm hoping thats NOT what happened to Deadpool). I haven't seen the leak, so I don't know how much the origin story got bastardized, but a little change here and there isn't REALLY bad, right? (oh God, if they messed it up worse than i thought my little comment will suck on so many levels!)

There is nothing wrong with updating a story or fudging a little in places where things don't make sense just to make it more logical or realistic.

But I think even the dimmest Wolvie fan can see that that is not what they did in this movie at all.

Gavin Hood THINKS it's true to the story because he probably doesn't know a thing about it himself. The [frick]wit that wrote this probably told him that.

I heard a spoiler from someone that saw the leaked version that is so ghey and crappy.. so ultimately lamers that you guys would want to kick Gavin Hood so hard his mother feels it. You'd hop the next plane out to Foolywood to do just that.. I don't know what the policy about spoilers is on this web site but if you guys want to know it I will tell you.

There's a million things in this movie like that Loganspatch. It comes down to this: They either need to stick to the story, or they need to imporve upon it in some way. One or the other. Why change something that's already great?

They have to appeal to a wider demographic! Why make movies to please a FANBOY. No! that will never happen. I know many people dont have a computer because they have a REAL working life and do not have time to sit down and READ wolverine and his life story, or sit down and dress up as DEADPOOL and bash a pirated movie that is not finished. And did an editor on this website CLEARLY explain deadpools origin, and they did do it right. I KNOW everybody elese is right, but it is true. DO NOT GO AND SEE IT. It's not a DEADPOOL movie it's a WOLVERINE movie. It may be source material, just not What YOU WANT it to be, Scene for scene and even line for line. And this is not for every one here.

My point isn't that I'm ungrateful for a Wolverine film being made or that I don't think this will make any money (actually I'm kind of hoping it doesn't because of it being leaked to the public). My point is that with so much material and great characters to draw from, why would you completely ignore and rewrite so many great aspects about them? I'm not looking to see things done 100% accurate like Watchmen boasted, I'm just looking to see things done better. And for those who say The Dark Knight wasn't accurate, hey, I can sweat the small stuff. There's been a million different looking batmobiles over the years. Big deal if this one's a little different. At least the core characters and their relationships remain intact and unchanged. The truth is that most writers don't give a shit about the source material. They feel that it limits their creativity, when really I think it should be just the opposite. Any writer who can pull off a retelling of so much great material into a good two hour movie should be commended. I think the X-men movies could take a lesson from Batman. It's time for them to shut down and reboot.

Let's face it, the only way to do a true cinematic comic book superhero film (with justice) is animated!
Now if Marvel and DC could just pull their collective heads out of their @$$es, and give an animated feature film the financial backing of a... let's say Pixar or Bluth level film, we would all be in HOG HEAVEN! It's the only logical step from comic book/graphic novel format to cinema!

That, or we get some more creative people behind the films like Zach Snyder, who are true fans of the medium, and understand what it means to be true to the source material. (Stop whining about the squid) I mean, come on!.. How many people would honestly be confused or turned away if we were to see Wolverine in his actual costume?! Do you think we would somehow see an outpooring of people demonizing the film because "his costume was nonsensical and out of place"?!!
I've been waiting to see the X-Men/Wolverine on film for over 20 years, and in my opinion, they STILL HAVEN"T MADE THEM YET!
I think they've casted some great actors, and have turned in some decent (meh) scripts, but they certainly haven't been true to what popularized the characters to begin with, and what made fans of all of us!
When they finally understand that, then we'll see what we've been waiting for.

i would say 95% of the movies hollywood makes that are derived from other media(books, comics, games, folklore) are "inspired" instead of source material, and it will never change. Its not always horrible though, sometimes their are people with great creative vision who can take liberties and make great movies. Does it suck for the hardcore fans? Absolutely, but sometimes you cant have your cake and eat it too

You guys are crazy... "Nerd-fiction-based" movies(for lack of a broader term) will never be accurate enough for fanboys because they're not made by fanboys... PERIOD... Some people like to say how much they loved the source material so much as a child or something along those lines, but they're full of it. Bottom line, its not written, directed, produced, or acted in by anybody who loves the source material. No matter what they say, they are movie makers, A) out to make a move they consider to be good, B) make a movie that will make as much money as possibe. Where we as fans would start with Wolverine(just an example) and making it a little more "real world", they start with the "real world" and add just enough Wolverine to make their story and make the fans of the source material see the movie without alienating people not familiar with it. So, its not like they changed the little things like Gambit's eyes or Two-Face's hair, they just didn't feel the need to add it. THEN theres little things like character rights to deal with, to further constrict the movie, show or whatever.

With that said, what gives them the right to butcher our beloved stories? The propieter of said property who sold them the rights without knowing or caring what gets made, as long as they get paid. AND the $100,000,000+ the studios and producers are putting up to make the movie. No matter what, we are a little lucky, because didn't have to make the movie in the first place.

I'm not saying by any means we shouldn't complain about the really crappy stuff Hollywood pulls out of its arse. I'm just saying that there's no point getting all worked up every time a "creative liberty" with a piece of fiction you love. Unless, of course, you are the one putting up the money to make it. The makers of the X-men comic, was out to make a good comic. The makers of the X-men cartoon were out to make a good cartoon. The makers of the X-men movie was out to make a good movie. And they are all out to make money! Problem is, what makes for a good comic or cartoon, doesn't always make for a good movie, and visa-versa. Probably one of the reasons studios don't listen too much to fanboys it that we complain more about how much a movie isn't like a comic book or cartoon than how good or entertaining a movie is. Watchmen was a lot more accurate than most "Nerd-fiction-based" movies to the source material but not as entertaining to a general audiences and look at the numbers.

I was just saying that how accurate a movie is doesn't make it good or bad. Really, if you look at it, it could go either way. On one side of the coin you got The Dark Knight, Spider-Man, X-Men and Transformers(a lot of liberties taken). On the other side theres LotR, Harry Potter, Sin City and 300(fewer liberties taken). All did very well ad the box office.

mmk, MoonDoggyX i see your point. i think we can all agree, as long there process in changing things makes it cool or improves the issue then fine, ill just re read the comic so i feel like im not going crazy, ive been re reading alot of wolverine back issues lately just for my own sanity puposes lol

See wut i did thur? lol

Yo Cap', settle down. The answer to your last question is no. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were great films. I have faith in a third as well. But even if it's bad, one film doesn't spoil the whole lot. X-men movies got worse for me as they went on. There are a lot of reasons for that. Does anybody else have a problem with the lack of good villains in these movies? Sure Magneto and the Brotherhood were a nice start, but what's up with the writers milking Magneto for three movies? And William Stryker for two? Weak. I could go on, but what's the point. It's said and done, and I wish they would lay these movies to rest until a more dedicated group of writers and directors can take the helm.
