Yesterday at the Cinema: X-Men Wolverine
Although the film is on track to pass $87 Million this weekend the showing we attended was only 70% full.
The film itself is OK but nothing special. I am not steeped in X-Men lore so I have no idea if this film was at all faithful to the mythos. Much seemed improbable, but then it is a comic book and on that level it was OK.
As you may have heard the director attached additional footage at the end of the credits, different footage in different theaters. Supposedly this footage will give us important information about the character. No doubt this footage will soon be on the internet (isn't everything?) but for those who want to know, this is what we saw at our showing:
Spoiler Alert
Darth Vader is Luke's father
Oh... wrong spoiler :oops:
Wolverine is sitting in a bar drinking. At first we thought this might be the bar we first see him at in the first X-men film. But no, he asks for another drink - in Japanese. Seems Wolverine understands Japanese. The bartender asks if he is American.
Wolverine: Canadian, I think...
Bartender: Are you drinking to forget?
Wolverine: No, I'm drinking to remember.
That's it. Nothing we did not already know. Except perhaps that he understands Japanese.
As far as trailers:
Transformers -- More of the same only more so
District Nine -- This film is produced by Peter Jackson and looks a lot like Alien Nation only with insect like aliens rather than humanoid ones.
:wink:
