New Wolverine Trailer Because Wolverines are in Right Now
A new trailer was released today for The Wolverine…and it looks pretty bad.
Maybe the movie will surprise us in the end, but so far it just looks pretty bad. I’m not sure I can put my finger on why, but maybe Wolverine is just over the hill. Maybe back when the X-Men movies were the best superhero movies coming out he might have stood a chance, but now he’s got to sell himself in the era of The Avengers, and he just comes up short.
Wolverine fighting a giant, robot Silver Samurai with heavy CGI does not appeal to me.
Two The Wolverine Trailers for the Price of One
The first trailers for The Wolverine were released today, and I’m lukewarm to both of them.
First, the international trailer is longer and juicier.
Then the U.S. trailer is a little punchier.
For both of them, I think there are a few cool moments. I like the grounded, gritty take on Wolverine. I think that’ll be strong. But I’m a little worried about the over-reliance on really fake-looking CGI stunts. That fight scene on top of the speeding train looks ridiculous. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was filled with heavy CGI nonsense, I don’t want that to happen with this sequel.
Based on these two trailers, I’m not too excited with what we’re going to get.
The Wolverine comes out on July 26.
3D, of course 3D, dammit
The Wolverine Is Lookin’ Fancy
The first official poster for The Wolverine has been released, and it looks pretty snazzy.
I’m sure somebody who knows art could tell you a lot about this image, but I know diddly squat. What I do know is that I love it. Minimalist style is coming back in a big way these days, and I’m excited to see a movie actually take advantage of that instead of going with some hideous, overly photoshopped picture of the cast. Like they did for The Avengers, or pretty much every X-Men movie. So this is a good sign that someone somewhere may have some design sense.
