Is it wrong that, upon seeing the trailer for this X-Men prequel exploring Logan’s origins, the first thing I thought was, "Is that facial hair real, or is it makeup?" The second thing was, "How come Wolverine spends so much time crouching, with his arms extended as if he could flap his arms and take off?"
The third thing was, "Stop picking nits, you idiot. Look, there’s all kinds of explosions and fights and adamantium claws digging into the asphalt and baby Ororo Munroe (a.k.a., Storm) and Liev Schreiber’s Sabretooth running on all fours and Gambit and Deadpool and, yes, it tickles all of my geek erogenous zones and we are totally there because it’s gotta be better than Punisher: War Zone and we saw that one opening weekend."
(Yes, I talk to myself in the Imperial third person. It amuses us.)
What about you? Are you onboard for the Sexiest Man Alive’s fourth stab at Wolverine? Or have you already had your fill of wacky beards and bulging pecs?

It can’t be worse than X-Men: The Last Stand.
This will be Daredevil bad.
I like the trailer well enough but I actually think Wolverine is boring and overexposed. That’s why I’m more excited about all the side characters, such as The Blob and Gambit and is that Emma Frost about 2 minutes in?
No the story and Jackman looked like they sucked. Even the Atlantic had a quick piece stating it looked like it sucked. As others said Gambit (whose Taylor whatever from Friday Night Lights), the Blob and all the side characters were the only cool part of that trailor.
I can’t wait to see Gambit. It looks good..it’s got to be better than the Last Stand. Maybe you fanboys won’t like it but us Fangirls will LOVE it.
Another…freaking…prequel.
I don’t know about some of the other comments. Gotta be honest, the trailer seems pretty cool. I mean this has to be a lot better then The Last Stand. Plus, it’s the director of Tsotsi, so it can’t be horrible. I’m looking forward to it.
I’m actually really looking forward to this.
marvel is definitly trying to pull a page out of the dark knight with the whole darker side of the superhero thing. execpt, (judging only by the traile) the dark knight gets it right. this trailer also reminds me of elecktra(also a darker portrayl of a superhero). so im thinking big flop.
Well, normally the last thing I would do is watch movies with superheroes. I prefer films based on English literature etc. But x-men is special, and Wolverine is very special, as he simply is the archetypal tragic hero, destined to suffer and see every woman he ever loves die… – so romantic. I am definitely going to watch this. Would even if the trailer looked like a failure, which it doesn´t. I am really looking forward to this.
This looks better than expected, but then again, it’s just 2 minutes of cut together scenes, so I’m not entirely sold yet. Fox has a real talent for making a big mess of comic book movies.
I’ve been hearing pre-backlashers saying this trailer is terrible, but this is the first time I’ve seen it, and I have to disagree. It’s a little overblown and a little goofy, but overall, this looks like exactly what I want. They’re not trying to make “The Dark Knight”–the X-Men franchise is about pure comic-book fun, and I’ll lay odds this one is going to deliver.
And Taylor Kitsch is making my life a thousand times better every time frame he’s in.
I’m excited for it. I have cautious optimism.
I know a trailer can be misleading…but that looks pretty good. I’ll be there.
THE MOVIE LOOKS KICK A$$!!!! WOLVERINE IS GOD!!!!!!!! I WANT MORE WOLVERINE AND LESS OF THOSE OTHER CHARACTERS!
