All the performances were good. Especially liev scheieber. I did love whatvthey did with deadpool at the time...i didnt know all of the details of deadpool when the movie came out so i was ignorant to the possibilities of the character. But i loved what i got so far and was expecting more of comic accurate deadpool in the sequal. Especially after end credits stinger. There was a lot in this flick that had the spirit of the animated series especiallybon how they changed some of the mutants history. This flick has gotten a bum wrap for too long. Do get me wrong it is not great. And not in the top of the xmen series. But still has some very good story telling.
There's a great motion comic narration of the comic where Wolverine becomes Weapon X. I highly recommend checking it out. The entire process from them Finding Logan, the admamantine process, and the subsequent "trials" makes the films procedure look tame.
I still thought it was a letdown. The flashbacks in X2, brief and choppy as they were, felt more intense. The shot of Wolverine screaming as he looks at his bloody claws was a way more impactful image than...honestly, anything in Origins. Origins showed a lot of potential in a lot of areas. It just sadly didn't live up to them.
@@DiegoKawasaka what do you mean they didn't talk. In all the interviews they talk about how Hugh mentored Ryan on set. That is where their bond started. Stop making stuff up.
@@YannGaisser i think youre referring to the promo clip filmed for 'Deadpool and Wolverine' where he says it there. Its not in the official movie sadly
Don’t care what anyone says about this film. That scene with Logan coming out the water post post procedure with his claws is still one of the best marvel/x-men moments on screen!
Though he doesnt fit with Tyler Mane Sabertooth at all. So you just have to sorta headcanon what happens there. Mine is that Tyler Mane Sabertooth was an experiment they made during their time with Weapon X to essentially practice grafting mutations onto people. So they arent the same character.
Other than the deapool thing I never understood the hate on this movie. It is very fun and I love everyone in it. Biggest W for me in Liev as Sabertooth. Man he was amazing.
I've never understood the hate period. The Deadpool thing isn't even that bad and there was clearly a plan to make him into the version we know or at least a similar version as indicated by the post credit scene where his mouth was shown restored. But people overreacted and complained instead of being patient like they should have.
@@passionsquietrage there was never a plan to make him the version we know, watch interviews with ryans reynolds from that tme and youll see he was a fan of deadpool but was seriously let down from the his first read of the script. Only reason he did it was due to some weird strong arming that went on.
@@BoshyG If there was never a plan, what was the point of that post credit scene where his mouth is restored and he's regenerating? There had to be a plan or that scene makes no sense.
The man playing Deadpool at the end is Scott Adkins, an actor and exceptional martial artist. Most, if not all, of the flips and spins during the fight are all his work, no wires needed.
I don’t think it was that bad. Liek yes this is technically not what deadpool looks like or has laser eyes but I actually like this concept of this deadpool if he were to go bad. He borderlined scared me as a kid😂
@@passionsquietrage it didn't deserve a chance to see light let alone be considered for fleshing out. Took everything that makes Deadpool. Deadpool and throws it out the window.
I actually like Weapon XI but that’s only becuz I read comics of Deadpool meeting multiple versions of himself so seeing a version of him that’s a Frankenstein-esque mutant having multiple powers and looking like a freak actually puts a smile on my face
Honestly same I think it's because it's talked about so much about how bad it is. When it does have good qualities in it just some of the choices they made with some characters aren't the best
It's seriously not that bad, people just overreacted to the changes made to Deadpool's origin even though there was a clear plan to make him into the version we know.
@@passionsquietrage I didn't even know about Deadpool when I first saw this movie, I thought it was cool as shit🤷♂️ didn't even know half his powers in this were completely made up
A real damn shame how underutilized Gambit is in the X-Men franchise. Not having at least more than 10 minutes of screentime in the franchise alone is a travesty. Taylor Kitsch looked so awesome in that role
Especially as there are so many huge devout gambit fans and X-Men fans in general and his power with kinetic energy would play so well as it does here and to see him with any of the modern X-Men cast would be great
@@group-music to absorb and manipulate kinetic energy i.e the energy of movement and charge whatever he wants with it making bombs most commonly his staff and cards but also wolverine claws at one point his face basically anything he can hold. And he's a master thief so skilled in various hand to hand combat and sleight of hand type things.
Andrew makes references about other movies than the one he is watching way too much. We are watching Wolverine and he's talking about Lord of the Rings. Why not Lost? He's in that too. Wolverines girlfriend is in Walking Dead. Also, Ray Donavan is the great show that Liev is known for.
28:32 I'm glad I'm visually impaired because I don't notice imperfections in CGI, unless we're talking the crash in Air Force One, but that was late 90's CGI and understandable. I just thought the claws looked different because they were supposed to appear shiny and freshly forged, so to say.
16:17 - Hugh's trick was actually drinking copious amounts of water during all the workout before filming, then cutting off water / liquids completely when cameras started rolling. No, don't try it at home.
Can’t wait for next ones! First Class, The Wolverine, and Days of Future Past are great. Then the awesome Deadpool and the underrated Apocalypse. The masterpiece Logan, and the great Deadpool 2, the overhated Dark Phoenix, and the not so great New Mutants. Then the one we’ve been leading to, the EPIC Deadpool & Wolverine.
I LOVE first class, DOFP and The wolverine. Lost me at Apocalypse (didnt like the plot) and Dark Phoenix (unnecessarily dark). however i love the score in dark phoenix so it always gives me a reason to rewatch. New Mutants was indeed terrible i cant find not one single good thing about it
The overfixation on Stryker in these movies is really bizarre considering that he's never been involved with Wolverine's origin and Weapon X in the comics. It was a fun change for X-Men 2 but after that it just felt overinsistent and none of the subsequent actors that played Stryker were nearly as memorable as Brian Cox.
He's Stryker in name only. That goes for like, most of the movie versions of these characters outside sharing some very broad surface level traits with their comic counterparts. I'm pretty sure the movies never actually brought up his twisted religious beliefs even once outside some passing mentions in X2 when he's literally a commentary on far right televangelism and if anything was known for not openly practicing his terrorism in public because he never let it be known he was running the Purifiers, and his words as a preacher were disruptive enough as was. It's another reason why i just don't get the hype for X2 because it basically removes all the timely commentary from a story like God Loves, Man Kills that could've made a really good story, especially if the X-Men had to actually debate the ethics of mutants on TV instead of just beating him up like they did
I mean to be fair how exactly could they not include him in the wolverine origin movie when it’s been established he’s involved in that in x men 2? arguably this is his appearance in an x movie post x2 that makes the most sense
@@chrisf5828His real name is Truett Hudson which was established in Wolverine: Origins when they first revealed Romulus as the guy who was ordering the Professor throughout Weapon X
It’s not in my nature to say negative things about someone, but it is starting to get kind of grating. My breaking point was probably this reaction when he says “Skip Woods… also wrote Swordfish which Hugh Jackman starred in.” Tara: K… Not exactly an interesting fact worth even bringing up. Kind of wish he’d reign it in.
@@PaulSF Yeah Andrew has really been leaning into being the trivia guy, to the point that's his main 'personality' in reactions. Not such a great look.
@@PaulSFsame I don’t want to be negative but sometime it’s just over the top non stop trivia at least wait until the reaction is over and I get they have to give commentary but make it relevant. I notice sometimes when he does it like you said the replies from like Tara are short because they are actually trying to focus on the movie.
I like it most of the time but in this one he seemed to be talking over Tara and even assuming what she thought about things sometimes. But her having an off day may have contributed.
I mean, as a long time X-Men and Wolverine comics fan, the shit it gets it does deserve but I will agree that a lot of it is over the top. Couple of my buddies call me crazy but I rank this film over X3. It's easily the worse Wolverine film but it's not the worse film ever made as some try and make it out to be.
@@antoniochasten3192see I like X3 but Kelsey as beast was awsome for it's time And yeah was kinda rushed story wise also were the hell is night crawler and killing off cyclops was cheap
@@WickedXombieDigiKing I didn't say I didn't like X3. I do just as not as much as Origins Wolverine and certainly nowhere near as much as I love the first two X films. For me, IMO, X3 is the worst out of the original X trilogy just like Origins Wolverine is the worst out of the Wolverine trilogy. Logan, Days of Future Past and First Class are my favorite X films. I know none of the X film adaptations are nothing like their comic stories but the three I just named are my favorites in the franchise.
This movie is a mix between 2 Wolverine comics. “Wolverine Origins” (the opening scene) & “Weapon X”. And I think, while not at all perfect, they blend them together well. Heck, Sabretooth has such an amazing origin in this. Also, a lot of people forgot just how evil Deadpool was before he went through his redemption arc to become the antihero we know now. Before Cable, Domino, Wolverine, & Spider-Man inspired him to be a better person, he was arguably one of the more evil Marvel supervillains, with literally MILLIONS of men, women, & children’s deaths he’s responsible for (he was a herald for Galactus for a bit as well). And honestly, Ryan plays evil Deadpool pretty well
It seems like everyone forgot that and chose to hate this movie for no reason instead. This isn't that bad of a movie and there was clearly a plan to make this version of Deadpool into the version we know or at least a similar version down the road, but people sadly overreacted and complained instead of being patient like they should have.
@@passionsquietrage There wasn't clearly a plan, they gave Deadpool a bunch of mutant's powers and took away his mouth. He also died at the end. If Ryan Reynolds didn't love the character, we probably still wouldn't have seen Deadpool again after this.
@@GreenOnTheScene0 I guess you forgot about the post credit scene where his mouth was shown restored and he was alive/regenerating. That scene indicated that there was indeed a plan to do more with the character. The powers could have been psychically blocked by Charles Xavier, which could have created the multiple personalities and inner voices Deadpool has(which Ryan completely left out for some reason).
@@johnnykame If it's deleted, why is it a post credit scene? That mskes no sense. And the fact that it exists at all is more than enough to indicate that there was a plan.
Had to go back to watch this in chronological order. It’s so much fun watching this dream team and I love seeing thing through Tara’s eyes. It’s a whole new experience for me…..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Origin variant of Deadpool is controversial that it's no wonder why the REAL Deadpool took him out of the canon (and the Green Lantern script). For a mutate who lacked a mouth, nobody called him "A Merc with a Mouth" for nothing.
I never saw weapon 11 as Deadpool, but as him being mutated as something else. He was no longer Deadpool. Kind of like how in Batman v Superman when Lex mutated Zod's body and turned him into Doomsday.
His mouth was shown restored in a post credit scene, indicating that there was a plan to make him into the version we know or at least a similar version. Sadly, no one was patient enough to let that plan be realized.
Victor Creed has the same healing factor as James. He is immensely stronger and can see in the dark as well. The movie portrays Logan having a massive advantage on Victor once he gets the Adamantium, but in actuality Victor has mercilessly beaten Logan with his Adamantium many many times. Victor always finds Logan on his birthday for the express purpose of fighting him and usually is the victor with the fight being one of the most brutal engagements you can see in Marvel comics.
Wolverine debuted 50 years ago (Hulk, then X-Men) and his first-ever solo series began in the 1980s. Throughout the comics' history, he's been a Marvel Legend in every form or fashion. "The best there is at what he does which is not very nice". 15 years ago, the start of his trilogy would definitely further things in the comic-book movie craze and the X-Men universe on film. Fox was developing solo films for Magneto & Mystique, but decided to stay on Wolvie's path in the universe. Using core elements including from the mini-series,Wolverine:The Origin (2001-2002). Casting of other characters and fan-favorites were actually good. The storytelling is fair and the action is stupendous. Hugh Jackman playing out Logan's struggle with being a man, the animal or the living weapon is really good. This one is both loved and hated for it's direction, certain moments and not just by fans, it's filmmakers as well. Yet of course, it was still a box office smash. The tie-in video game from Activision, original and uncaged version is amazing. There was 2 endings:"Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson (Weapon XI/D.P.) with his severed head and shushing..." and the other, rarely seen ending is 'Logan in Japan'.. Both moments were retconned in 2 future films.
If so many decisions made in this movie were changed around this movie genuinely could’ve been one of the best X-Men related films. I will still contend that Liev Schreiber and Hugh are the best part of this movie along with their characters relationship. It’s one of the reasons why (spoilers) Liev not showing up in Deadpool and Wolverine as his Sabertooth was unfortunate because I did want to see them rekindle where they left off. Have a fight and then see where it went after.
I guess there’s always a small chance he’d return in a future movie. I’m glad his sabertooth wasn’t in Deadpool and Wolverine since he was killed pretty immediately lmao
This movie is not bad at all. Wolverine and Sabretooth dynamic, opening montage, the helicopter action scene, Ryan’s start as Wade, Wolverine coming out of the water, and more great stuff here. I get so tired of hearing people complain about the Deadpool thing. He’s not Deadpool in this. He’s weapon XI. It’s his origin story, that’s the whole point. A sequel would have had a more accurate Deadpool as hinted at in the post credit scene.
Some things in here are great, but come on man let's not pretend that saves the movie as a whole. It's a bad movie with some good bits in it. You can't just say "a non-existent movie as a sequel to this would've made this Deadpool better," as a counterargument to this movie completely missing the mark on him. You think it's better because of a hypothetical. That's so silly.
Thank you! I've been saying this for years and people continue to hate and complain. They clearly had a plan as indicated by that post credit scene but people chose to complain instead simply being patient.
@@duck-ew5zsIt's not silly because it's true. There was clearly a plan to make this version of Deadpool into the version we know or at least a similar version but people chose be hateful and prejudiced instead of being patient enough to let that plan be realized.
I’ll defend this movie to the death I don’t care, I really liked it. I’ve always said if Deadpool wasn’t like this in it , the hate train against it wouldn’t have been so strong lmao. That opening alone is so cool
People WAY overreacted to this version of Deadpool, even though there was a clear plan to make him into the version we know or at least a similar version.
One of the other major problems with this movie is the CGI. The special effects are atrocious. When the CGI in the previous movies look better than in this movie you know something is wrong.
45:08 She's an omega level mutant, one of the strongest telepathic mutants next to Jean Grey, Cable, Charles Xavier, Shadow King, Cassandra Nova, Quintavius Quire.
If you remember in Deadpool. He asked to please not make the super hero suit green. Or animated. Referring to Ryan’s previous roles as green lantern, and weapon 11 in Wolverine.
@@passionsquietrage Not a chance lol. Ryan Reynolds would've have told us if that was the case. He hates this movie just as much as everyone else. Nobody was "triggered" it was just a terrible movie
@@aaronmckinney2583 Except it isn't terrible at all. It's decent as best. That post credit scene where his mouth was shown restored is a clear indication that there was in fact a plan to bring the character back as the version we know or at least a similar version. But like I said, people overreacted including Ryan himself. We should have let that plan be enacted THEN make the Deadpool movies if necessary.
@@passionsquietrage It is a terrible movie. I'm glad you enjoyed it but it's universally hated for a lot more than just the deadpool stuff. The cgi is god awful. The pacing is all over the place. They messed up their own continuity from the previous movies. I could keep going but you get the point. We never would've gotten the comic accurate deadpool we have now if this movie was a success
The Juice is Loose! Absolutely loving these X-Men reactions with Tara and Andrew. With Andrew's encyclopedic knowledge and Tara coming in blind, they make a great pair! Love the channel!
That one scene with Wolverine and SilverFox with him spewing his heart and being callus - goes so hard when you remember in the future Jean Grey betrays him in a very different way.
Spent like 2 hours finding stuff to unsubscribe from (including turning notifications off for here haha) and muting allllllll kinds of things on social media.
They didn't knock him out to put the adamantium in because that shit doesn't work, and they said that, but she was talking over it and said because he won't heal LMAO
22:57 You got to remember he doesn't have any adamantium yet to protect his bones and organs so after that fight he would have had multiple fractures, internal bleeding, probably a puncutred lung and a brain bleed. The more he's injured the longer he takes to heal. In the first X-Men movie he was unconscious for awhile after fighting Sabertooth and that was with adamantium.
In reference to the terrible CGI claws, I'd heard in the first X-Men film someone suggested Jackman wear actual metal claws. He actually cut Rebecca Romijn really badly during their fight scene so it's no wonder they started using the crappy CGI'd ones for all subsequent films.
I’ve always liked this movie. I think people are just super critical. Of course a lot of things could have been different and needed to be but it’s enjoyable. I really like this one!
The guy that plays Ryan Reynolds’s stint in this movie is the legendary Scott Adkin. He played the big dude in a suit in John wick and maybe known best for boyka in UNDISPUTED. I still like this movie regardless of all the bad but it is still a fun watch
JUST IN TIME!!!!!! The Reel Rejects reacted to summer blockbusters of 2009 from 20th Century Fox; Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, and now this!
In the first x men film, it’s implied through sabertooth’s actions that he and Logan have history that Logan is oblivious to. Rewatch x men and notice that Wolverine’s dog tags mean nothing to magneto, but saber tooth seems somewhat obsessed with them and grabs them after magnus walks away. Notice his emotions as he does this.
I used to love this movie as a kid and I never knew anything about deadpool until later on in life, and I did not know that that was deadpool until rewatching it when I was older. As soon as I found out that that was deadpool, i was SO upset.
I've LOVED seeing Tara react to so many things on this channel!! Her responses are genuine, and she has some fresh takes on things that fans have already set a narrative on. I've been introducing my partner to a lot of superhero and horror movies, and it's been great to get their genuine take on things with them as well!!
There's a lot of cool ideas in this film. You can see the whiteboard in the writers' room with tons of note cards written and taped up on there with things like "gambit saves wolverine" and "fight on top of nuclear tower" and "cyclops in school" but you can also see they have zero idea how to connect them, which results in the characters behaving inexplicably at times.
Corridor Crew just released a video showing that most bad CGI nowadays is a time problem, not a skill problem. the guy in charge of VFX on The Flash said if it looked like the effects were one in a week it was because they were. it looks like they were given a couple of hours to do those claw shots.
Honestly, the fact that y'all have been able to avoid Deadpool & Wolverine spoilers is admirable. Especially doing these X-Men movie reactions and probably having to be on the internet and social media a lot (not just for these movies, but as reactors in general). It's nearly impossible to avoid spoilers this far into a big and beloved comic book movie's release, so I salute y'all🫡.
The tavern scene reminded me it's almost impossible for Wolverine to get drunk. Didn't stop him from trying in one of the comics, though. He mixed several intoxicants and halunicogens together and succeeded. While drunk for the first time, he accidentally popped his claws through the open palms of his hands! It was so bizarre. 😂
Talking about the First X-Men Movie not acknowledging Wolverine and Sabretooth connection, The Last Stand never did anything with Charles and Juggernaut being step Brothers..

Watch the unrated version of the Wolverine
The scene of Wolverine coming out of the water chamber was by far the best scene from the X-men movies at the time!
And he’s hit with the bullet and he looks back angry
What's with bad super hero movies having one scene that is a masterpiece.
This and birth of sandman come to mind

Very cool. His claws weren’t anywhere as scary before.

It was a fun change for X-Men 2 but after that it just felt overinsistent and none of the subsequent actors that played Stryker were nearly as memorable as Brian Cox.
He's Stryker in name only. That goes for like, most of the movie versions of these characters outside sharing some very broad surface level traits with their comic counterparts. I'm pretty sure the movies never actually brought up his twisted religious beliefs even once outside some passing mentions in X2 when he's literally a commentary on far right televangelism and if anything was known for not openly practicing his terrorism in public because he never let it be known he was running the Purifiers, and his words as a preacher were disruptive enough as was. It's another reason why i just don't get the hype for X2 because it basically removes all the timely commentary from a story like God Loves, Man Kills that could've made a really good story, especially if the X-Men had to actually debate the ethics of mutants on TV instead of just beating him up like they did
Was the comic character in charge of weapon x program ever identified as anything but The Professor?
I mean to be fair how exactly could they not include him in the wolverine origin movie when it’s been established he’s involved in that in x men 2? arguably this is his appearance in an x movie post x2 that makes the most sense
@@chrisf5828His real name is Truett Hudson which was established in Wolverine: Origins when they first revealed Romulus as the guy who was ordering the Professor throughout Weapon X
K
I really wish he would stop info dumping in the middle of action scenes. Bro just immerse. Or at least let Tarah immerse.
It’s not in my nature to say negative things about someone, but it is starting to get kind of grating. My breaking point was probably this reaction when he says “Skip Woods… also wrote Swordfish which Hugh Jackman starred in.” Tara: K…
Not exactly an interesting fact worth even bringing up. Kind of wish he’d reign it in.
@@PaulSF Yeah Andrew has really been leaning into being the trivia guy, to the point that's his main 'personality' in reactions. Not such a great look.
@@PaulSFsame I don’t want to be negative but sometime it’s just over the top non stop trivia at least wait until the reaction is over and I get they have to give commentary but make it relevant. I notice sometimes when he does it like you said the replies from like Tara are short because they are actually trying to focus on the movie.
I like it most of the time but in this one he seemed to be talking over Tara and even assuming what she thought about things sometimes. But her having an off day may have contributed.
I felt like Andrew was crapping on this movie so much because he felt like he was expected to. This movie gets way more hate than it deserves.
I mean, as a long time X-Men and Wolverine comics fan, the shit it gets it does deserve but I will agree that a lot of it is over the top. Couple of my buddies call me crazy but I rank this film over X3. It's easily the worse Wolverine film but it's not the worse film ever made as some try and make it out to be.
It was actually like like warm tbh I personally enjoy a majority of the movie besides the end
@@antoniochasten3192see I like X3 but Kelsey as beast was awsome for it's time And yeah was kinda rushed story wise also were the hell is night crawler and killing off cyclops was cheap
@@WickedXombieDigiKing I didn't say I didn't like X3. I do just as not as much as Origins Wolverine and certainly nowhere near as much as I love the first two X films. For me, IMO, X3 is the worst out of the original X trilogy just like Origins Wolverine is the worst out of the Wolverine trilogy. Logan, Days of Future Past and First Class are my favorite X films. I know none of the X film adaptations are nothing like their comic stories but the three I just named are my favorites in the franchise.
Him shitting on cgi like it wasn't early 2000th lmao a little stupid
This movie is a mix between 2 Wolverine comics. “Wolverine Origins” (the opening scene) & “Weapon X”. And I think, while not at all perfect, they blend them together well. Heck, Sabretooth has such an amazing origin in this.
Also, a lot of people forgot just how evil Deadpool was before he went through his redemption arc to become the antihero we know now. Before Cable, Domino, Wolverine, & Spider-Man inspired him to be a better person, he was arguably one of the more evil Marvel supervillains, with literally MILLIONS of men, women, & children’s deaths he’s responsible for (he was a herald for Galactus for a bit as well). And honestly, Ryan plays evil Deadpool pretty well
It seems like everyone forgot that and chose to hate this movie for no reason instead. This isn't that bad of a movie and there was clearly a plan to make this version of Deadpool into the version we know or at least a similar version down the road, but people sadly overreacted and complained instead of being patient like they should have.
@@passionsquietrage There wasn't clearly a plan, they gave Deadpool a bunch of mutant's powers and took away his mouth. He also died at the end. If Ryan Reynolds didn't love the character, we probably still wouldn't have seen Deadpool again after this.
@@GreenOnTheScene0 I guess you forgot about the post credit scene where his mouth was shown restored and he was alive/regenerating. That scene indicated that there was indeed a plan to do more with the character. The powers could have been psychically blocked by Charles Xavier, which could have created the multiple personalities and inner voices Deadpool has(which Ryan completely left out for some reason).
@@passionsquietragethat was a deleted scene.
So it still stands that there was no official plans for a proper Deadpool at the time.
@@johnnykame If it's deleted, why is it a post credit scene? That mskes no sense. And the fact that it exists at all is more than enough to indicate that there was a plan.
Andrew started crappinf on this from the start and didn't give Tara a chance to enjoy or react
I really wish they would’ve kept Taylor Kitt as Gambit. He was really great for the role!
Had to go back to watch this in chronological order. It’s so much fun watching this dream team and I love seeing thing through Tara’s eyes. It’s a whole new experience for me…..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Origin variant of Deadpool is controversial that it's no wonder why the REAL Deadpool took him out of the canon (and the Green Lantern script). For a mutate who lacked a mouth, nobody called him "A Merc with a Mouth" for nothing.
I never saw weapon 11 as Deadpool, but as him being mutated as something else. He was no longer Deadpool. Kind of like how in Batman v Superman when Lex mutated Zod's body and turned him into Doomsday.
His mouth was shown restored in a post credit scene, indicating that there was a plan to make him into the version we know or at least a similar version. Sadly, no one was patient enough to let that plan be realized.
When Deadpool shot Ryan Reynolds, this would mean that Blake Lively will be marrying and having kids with whoever replaces him as Green Lantern.
@@daurydavis3983 They call him Deadpool when he is changed. Even Ryan confirms he was meant to be Deadpool.
@@ManChild1980 ah okay
Victor Creed has the same healing factor as James. He is immensely stronger and can see in the dark as well. The movie portrays Logan having a massive advantage on Victor once he gets the Adamantium, but in actuality Victor has mercilessly beaten Logan with his Adamantium many many times. Victor always finds Logan on his birthday for the express purpose of fighting him and usually is the victor with the fight being one of the most brutal engagements you can see in Marvel comics.
Wolverine debuted 50 years ago (Hulk, then X-Men) and his first-ever solo series began in the 1980s.
Throughout the comics' history, he's been a Marvel Legend in every form or fashion.
"The best there is at what he does which is not very nice".
15 years ago, the start of his trilogy would definitely further things in the comic-book movie craze and the X-Men universe on film.
Fox was developing solo films for Magneto & Mystique, but decided to stay on Wolvie's path in the universe.
Using core elements including from the mini-series,Wolverine:The Origin (2001-2002).
Casting of other characters and fan-favorites were actually good.
The storytelling is fair and the action is stupendous.
Hugh Jackman playing out Logan's struggle with being a man, the animal or the living weapon is really good.
This one is both loved and hated for it's direction, certain moments and not just by fans, it's filmmakers as well.
Yet of course, it was still a box office smash.
The tie-in video game from Activision, original and uncaged version is amazing.
There was 2 endings:"Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson (Weapon XI/D.P.) with his severed head and shushing..." and the other, rarely seen ending is 'Logan in Japan'..
Both moments were retconned in 2 future films.
Say something nice about X-Men Origins: Wolverine................... aaaand GO!!
It’s over
Love sabertooth
Hugh Jackman is very good in it at least. I actually don’t mind this one. The next Wolverine movie, however…
We wouldn't have gotten the deadpool movies
Love Hugh Jackman 💛
If so many decisions made in this movie were changed around this movie genuinely could’ve been one of the best X-Men related films. I will still contend that Liev Schreiber and Hugh are the best part of this movie along with their characters relationship. It’s one of the reasons why (spoilers) Liev not showing up in Deadpool and Wolverine as his Sabertooth was unfortunate because I did want to see them rekindle where they left off. Have a fight and then see where it went after.
I guess there’s always a small chance he’d return in a future movie. I’m glad his sabertooth wasn’t in Deadpool and Wolverine since he was killed pretty immediately lmao
@@jaysax7381 as sad as it is to say there’s absolutely no chance he ever shows up again in a film
Nah, it would have been a waste of Liev to simply be beheaded in D&W.
I did love this movie when it came out, seeing Logan as a kid with bone claws was great. Best scene ever, him coming out of the water tank 💯💯
Im glad I watched this movie before the internet could tell me how bad it is, i really enjoyed it 😅
This movie is not bad at all. Wolverine and Sabretooth dynamic, opening montage, the helicopter action scene, Ryan’s start as Wade, Wolverine coming out of the water, and more great stuff here. I get so tired of hearing people complain about the Deadpool thing. He’s not Deadpool in this. He’s weapon XI. It’s his origin story, that’s the whole point. A sequel would have had a more accurate Deadpool as hinted at in the post credit scene.
Totally agree!
no its bad lol bad effects bad writing, bad costume design and bad deadpool He was Deadpool and it wasn't his origin it was a botched origin.
Some things in here are great, but come on man let's not pretend that saves the movie as a whole. It's a bad movie with some good bits in it. You can't just say "a non-existent movie as a sequel to this would've made this Deadpool better," as a counterargument to this movie completely missing the mark on him. You think it's better because of a hypothetical. That's so silly.
Thank you! I've been saying this for years and people continue to hate and complain. They clearly had a plan as indicated by that post credit scene but people chose to complain instead simply being patient.
@@duck-ew5zsIt's not silly because it's true. There was clearly a plan to make this version of Deadpool into the version we know or at least a similar version but people chose be hateful and prejudiced instead of being patient enough to let that plan be realized.
I’ll defend this movie to the death I don’t care, I really liked it. I’ve always said if Deadpool wasn’t like this in it , the hate train against it wouldn’t have been so strong lmao. That opening alone is so cool
People WAY overreacted to this version of Deadpool, even though there was a clear plan to make him into the version we know or at least a similar version.
There are plenty of other things to be mad about in this movie
They butchered every single character outside of Wolverine and Sabrtooth
THANK YOU! I’ll defend this movie all day just like you man.
One of the other major problems with this movie is the CGI. The special effects are atrocious. When the CGI in the previous movies look better than in this movie you know something is wrong.
45:08 She's an omega level mutant, one of the strongest telepathic mutants next to Jean Grey, Cable, Charles Xavier, Shadow King, Cassandra Nova, Quintavius Quire.
This is like watching my awkward parents watch movies 😂
That comic that John mentions with Wolverine sounds awesome!
37:11 never realized until now, he kept his promise In another wolverine variant. 😂IYKYK
If you remember in Deadpool. He asked to please not make the super hero suit green. Or animated. Referring to Ryan’s previous roles as green lantern, and weapon 11 in Wolverine.
The change from from Deadpool in this and in Deadpool is drastic
This Deadpool would have become that Deadpool if people hadn't been so triggered by his origin being different.
@@passionsquietrage Not a chance lol. Ryan Reynolds would've have told us if that was the case. He hates this movie just as much as everyone else. Nobody was "triggered" it was just a terrible movie
@@aaronmckinney2583 Except it isn't terrible at all. It's decent as best. That post credit scene where his mouth was shown restored is a clear indication that there was in fact a plan to bring the character back as the version we know or at least a similar version. But like I said, people overreacted including Ryan himself. We should have let that plan be enacted THEN make the Deadpool movies if necessary.
@@passionsquietrage It is a terrible movie. I'm glad you enjoyed it but it's universally hated for a lot more than just the deadpool stuff. The cgi is god awful. The pacing is all over the place. They messed up their own continuity from the previous movies. I could keep going but you get the point. We never would've gotten the comic accurate deadpool we have now if this movie was a success
@@aaronmckinney2583 So it had a lot of issues. What movie doesn't? That doesn't make it "terrible".
The Juice is Loose! Absolutely loving these X-Men reactions with Tara and Andrew. With Andrew's encyclopedic knowledge and Tara coming in blind, they make a great pair! Love the channel!
When you get to “Days of Future Past” you absolutely need to watch the “Rogue Cut”!!!!!!
You know they won't. Then everyone will complain and they'll apologise.
That one scene with Wolverine and SilverFox with him spewing his heart and being callus - goes so hard when you remember in the future Jean Grey betrays him in a very different way.
keep these two off the internet. how they havn't seen any spoilers for DP&W is amazing
Thats magical fr...
They must not watch their own channel
Spent like 2 hours finding stuff to unsubscribe from (including turning notifications off for here haha) and muting allllllll kinds of things on social media.
"What's his nuts is in this?" 🤣😂
Kinda wish the editor just used the deadpool 2 after credits for that reveal scene 🤣🤣
y'all came for this 43:58
They didn't knock him out to put the adamantium in because that shit doesn't work, and they said that, but she was talking over it and said because he won't heal LMAO
Say what you want but I think this version of Gambit is great. Taylor Kitcsh was great as this interpretation.
22:57 You got to remember he doesn't have any adamantium yet to protect his bones and organs so after that fight he would have had multiple fractures, internal bleeding, probably a puncutred lung and a brain bleed. The more he's injured the longer he takes to heal. In the first X-Men movie he was unconscious for awhile after fighting Sabertooth and that was with adamantium.
The Wolverine (2013) has an R rated extended cut! Watch that
X-Men 2 was my favorite growing up, but then this movie came out & I fell in love with Logan & Kayla’s story, also Logan & Victors story !
In reference to the terrible CGI claws, I'd heard in the first X-Men film someone suggested Jackman wear actual metal claws. He actually cut Rebecca Romijn really badly during their fight scene so it's no wonder they started using the crappy CGI'd ones for all subsequent films.
Without this movie we wouldnt have deadpool and wolverine, so because of that i love this movie and i love that gambit is finally in one
I’ve always liked this movie. I think people are just super critical. Of course a lot of things could have been different and needed to be but it’s enjoyable. I really like this one!
I never even thought of the whole sabertooth vampire theory. Good catch
My fav 2 REEL REJECTS!!! I catch myself singing Tara's "Ring The Bell" throughout the day lol.
I gotta say, I actually like this movie.. despite everything..😂
The guy that plays Ryan Reynolds’s stint in this movie is the legendary Scott Adkin. He played the big dude in a suit in John wick and maybe known best for boyka in UNDISPUTED. I still like this movie regardless of all the bad but it is still a fun watch
I’ve said this since 2009. This movie is fantastic and really solid, up until the moment he gets his adamantium.
The first movie where the “high ground” doesn’t win “headshot”
JUST IN TIME!!!!!! The Reel Rejects reacted to summer blockbusters of 2009 from 20th Century Fox; Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, and now this!
In the first x men film, it’s implied through sabertooth’s actions that he and Logan have history that Logan is oblivious to. Rewatch x men and notice that Wolverine’s dog tags mean nothing to magneto, but saber tooth seems somewhat obsessed with them and grabs them after magnus walks away. Notice his emotions as he does this.
Stryker: im putting together a special team
Nick fury: I beg your pardon mother Fu---
Saw this opening night. That was the only time ever where every single seat in my theater was sold.
Ok Andrew, since you had already watched this. You should let Tara form her opinions on things before being so negative..
I honestly don't think the CGI looked that bad. That's just my opinion 😅
"we have Deadpool & Wolverine at home"
44:39 That's Martial Arts actor and stuntman Scott Adkins.
I used to love this movie as a kid and I never knew anything about deadpool until later on in life, and I did not know that that was deadpool until rewatching it when I was older. As soon as I found out that that was deadpool, i was SO upset.
I've LOVED seeing Tara react to so many things on this channel!! Her responses are genuine, and she has some fresh takes on things that fans have already set a narrative on.
I've been introducing my partner to a lot of superhero and horror movies, and it's been great to get their genuine take on things with them as well!!
Wolverine coming out of the water chamber is iconic...
It’s hilarious that you guys decided not to have the post credits scene with Deadpool’s head and the “shh” moment. 😂
4:50 i love that transition man
43:59 That’s how you piss off a fansbase.
There's a lot of cool ideas in this film. You can see the whiteboard in the writers' room with tons of note cards written and taped up on there with things like "gambit saves wolverine" and "fight on top of nuclear tower" and "cyclops in school" but you can also see they have zero idea how to connect them, which results in the characters behaving inexplicably at times.
37:08 well he technically kept his word…all these years later😂
Corridor Crew just released a video showing that most bad CGI nowadays is a time problem, not a skill problem. the guy in charge of VFX on The Flash said if it looked like the effects were one in a week it was because they were. it looks like they were given a couple of hours to do those claw shots.
19:51 she knew the time has come
Honestly, the fact that y'all have been able to avoid Deadpool & Wolverine spoilers is admirable. Especially doing these X-Men movie reactions and probably having to be on the internet and social media a lot (not just for these movies, but as reactors in general). It's nearly impossible to avoid spoilers this far into a big and beloved comic book movie's release, so I salute y'all🫡.
The sister is Emma Frost. They feature her character more in the next movie.
Wolverine: “I cover wars, you know”
43:24 it's how you piss off a fan base Tara 😂
@@Escrima88 laughing at Andrew and his over the top acting again I see
The couple from the farmhouse remind me of the Kents. If they were from Marvel
Thats a good call that the freeze frames in the open look like comic shots
The tavern scene reminded me it's almost impossible for Wolverine to get drunk. Didn't stop him from trying in one of the comics, though.
He mixed several intoxicants and halunicogens together and succeeded. While drunk for the first time, he accidentally popped his claws through the open palms of his hands! It was so bizarre. 😂
Thats why Sabertooth took wolverine dog tags in the first movie because he wanted a piece of his brother who doesn't remember him
'It's a bit of an odd choice'. What?, it's a odd choice to focus on his origin in a film called Wolverine origins, OK then.
Man think about how different the character would be if he had A-LU-MIN-IUM laced bones Tara 😂😂😂
American's say Aluminum
Talking about the First X-Men Movie not acknowledging Wolverine and Sabretooth connection, The Last Stand never did anything with Charles and Juggernaut being step Brothers..
It’s not just about him surviving, it’s telling the story of who Logan was before becoming Wolverine & losing his memories.
Saw deadpool and wolverine in cinema other day xxxx
Another set of sheets Logan. Could you slash the price down for me?”
Love Ryan Reynolds making fun/copying that scene of cutting and deflecting bullets in this movie with what he did in Deadpool 2 against Cable. So fun
Ngl bro is weirdly hyperfixated on the CGI in this movie from 15 years ago
Ppl force bad criticism when they know the popular judgements of what others said
CGI was pretty good 15 years ago. Which is why he’s pointing out how bad it is.
It is and was bad. But saying it the whole time is annoying.
@@manavkhanna6470 it really wasn't broski, you need to look up what movies came out in 2009 and what they look like
It was bad CGI at the time, so it's a valid criticism. It was absolutely comical when it was brand new.
