Deadpool Toy Review and the 2 Reasons Wolverine's movie sucked...



I admit I liked X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I saw it in theaters twice, but 2 things ruined it for me.... If these two things weren't in the movie. I would have purchased the DVD guaranteed.

One, the scene where Wolverine kills the guy by using his claw to spark a flame that explodes a gas tanker or something and walks away from the blast with fiery inferno behind him. The scene was ridiculously cheesy and bad action movie fodder. Also Wolverine doesn't kill people using his claws to spark flames, he pops his claws into their skulls. Who ever wrote that scene clearly never got what Wolveriene was all about and saw one too many 80's action movies as a child.

Two, Deadpool... excuse me, THE Deadpool. I don't understand what they were thinking...
Early in the film they seem to have understood the character. They gave him wit, skills and even good looks so it would be even sadder when he gets cancer and his skin gets disfigured.. but instead they sew his mouth shut and give him arm claws and no cancer. Huh ? It's as if the person who wrote this hates anyone who remotely likes comics and was punishing them all in one big swoop by doing something so stupid it defies logic. Dedapool's nick name is the "merc with a mouth", his trade mark is he says crazy stuff and these geniuses sew his mouth shut and remove any sense of personality. They did know that comic book fans were planning on going to this movie, right ? They did know everyone and there mom was looking forward to Deadpool, so WTF ? Oh wait. Let's also give him laser eyes. The sad part is no one at Marvel could wave a huge red flag, demanding they don't screw up a character that bad.

Yeah, so while I liked a lot about the Wolverine movie, these two things ruined it for me. I will be seeing the sequel, pending someone else writes it or Marvel is allowed stop the writers mid writing if they start writing random crap that comes to their heads. Seriously I don't know jack anything about screen writing but I could of been a consultant on not effing things up.
