Wolverine... was disappointing..

This post is probably long overdue but I’m going to go ahead with it anyways. I watched wolverine when it came out with expectations. Now i have had the chance to watch the leaked version but after watching a couple of seconds of it, I decided against it to avoid ruining my movie experience. This is the first of xmen origins movie set to be released. it’s going to be followed up xmen origins: magneto even though no news of that is coming up. The movie started out well.. the death of logan's father and the montage of wolverine and sabretooth going through all the 4 major wars in American history was pretty good.. but even through that montage.. something seemed a lil amiss but i couldn't quite put my finger on it.. as the movie progressed.. the action scenes coming and the story unfolding.. i noticed that the movie was draggy and the action scenes very uninspired... the special effects seemed like they rushed it to the fact that it seemed fake.. i am not trying to someone who insists that everything has to be the same as the comic itself (cause i understand that the transition to movie requires changes) but changing deadpool to optic beam shooting, teleporting and mute is just not acceptable. sure the movie is about WOLVERINE but really.. can't they give wade more screen time then say wraith or blob.. i appreciate inserting gambit into the picture but he was just more of a filler character and seemed out of place most of the time.. all in all, for all the hype and expectations it carried.. It failed.. Now I might be a minority with this but this is how i feel..

GI Joe

Plus d'infos sur ce film

Now most of you would have probably watched the super bowl ad for the movie GI Joe. This is the longer version and seems more on the theatrical length version. It looks promising but the tagline that they used on both trailers is a little lame. I mean when all else fails, we won't. Doesn't sound bad ass at all.. but I guess that doesn't matter since the action sequence looks promising :) We will just have to wait and see.

latest update?

heyo.. Been a really long time since i updated this.. it’s all the way back in November of last year.. Been really preoccupied with "stuff" :) anyways, i started this blog about the time when transformers was released. I was unemployed then, had loads of time in between sending out job applications and was mostly spending time on the internet. Now the second one; Transformers: the revenge of the fallen is coming soon on June 26th. While the new theatrical trailer has confirmed the return of Megatron in a new vehicle form, the main villain this time around would be Starscream and also the Fallen. There are lots more robots this time around, along with a classic bad-turn-good robot as well (seems like almost all stories have one of those these days; ie- Vegeta in Dragonball, Dinobot in Beast Wars, Baran from Dragon Quest and Hiei from Yuyu Hakusho). Bumblebee seems to have lost its ability to talk again. the use of Scorponok score half way through the trailer is awesome especially since I’ve been obsessing about the song for the last couple of months :) quick side note, try listening to the song backwards ;) i still don't see fallen within the trailer even though Ben insists that’s him in the desert scene where he attacks a troop of army men. Devastator looks awesome. by the way, the dude on the uniwheel rolling around the city isn’t devastator. its just the torso. Watch the trailer till the end for devastator or refer to the picture below. I am not going to say much here as the trailer pretty much does it for me. At the time of this entry, the new theatrical trailer is only exclusively available in yahoo movies. Watch it in Firefox for best viewing quality.
