John was a badass too.

It was a decent movie. Weapon XI was kind of stupid. And I'm disappointed that they didn't show Wolverine and Captain America liberating Magneto from the concentration camps in WWII. Not to mention that Wolverine was Canadian back then too. Revisionist history FTW.

I don't understand why Striker stopped at the end (during the credits) though.

Its the same reason why Wolverine won't be in the Captain America movie or in the Avengers, Fox owns the movie character of Wolverine and the X-Men, while Marvel movie studios owns Captain America, there is a lot of legal mumbo jumbo. So you won't see Wolverine and Captain America side by side  on the silver screen until Wolverine goes back to Marvel's hands (along with Spider-man)

Why has noone mentioned that Gambit is missing his super-heavy New Orleans accent

Sorry, Xavier's face was distracting me.

For Spoilers relating to what happens in the credits highlight below:

Striker stopped because some cuts of the film show him being stopped by Military Police for qustioning related to the murder of the General.

At the end of the credits there is a super secret extra scene. Depending on which cinema you see it in you will see one of the two:

- Wolverine drinking in a bar and when asked by the waitress if he is drinking to forget, he replies that he is drinking to remember.

OR

- The hand of the now decapitated Deadpool reaching out and grasping his head (with the mouth now open - presumably the computer control mechanism is broken). as his hand grasps his head the head says "Shhhhh."

I really liked this movie. The only things I will complain about are:

- Ryan Reynolds gets too few smart *donkey* lines

- Remey LeBeau is missing his usual accent

- the SFX on the claws are brilliant when they are bone, but they can look a bit cartoonish when they become adamantium.

- The sfx on Patrick Stewart's face to make him look younger were terrible.

 

And for all the people saying this doesn't feel quite like Woverine's personality in the movie... I feel it explains the genesis of his current personality perfectly.

I will probably watch the end credits when it comes out on DVD. Can't be asked to sit and wait.

I really liked this movie but I felt some of the CGI was sub-par, especially the 'supershiny' claws and the bulletholes in Wolverine's forehead.  The obvious plothole was annoying but apart from that I thought it was well worth watching.  It tied in to the other movies well (as compared to Star Wars for instance) and the combat was clearly envisioned by someone who knew what they were doing.  My favourite sequence was probably the 'Brothers at War' set of scenes near the start with the 'Weapon XI Battle' and subsequent cooling stack collapse coming in close second and third.

Saw it today and it kicked A**!  If you like Wolverine this is a no brainer.
