When a friend a mine said her bootleg supplier could get the new Wolverine film, I jumped at the chance to see this film a few weeks early, without paying $40 in a theatre ($10.50 a ticket, and then snacks ? Bitch please). So I shelled out the $5
for a bootleg copy. Wonder of wonders

The first 40 minutes are crisp, beautiful filming. Yes, the story veers away from the comic book quite a bit, that being said, it makees up for it in the story telling. The characters might not be 100% counterparts to there comic selves, but in changing aspects of characters they become more believable. Sabertooth and Wolverine
becoming half brothers wasn't something I expected, but makes sense in this universe.


The version I have is a rough edit, some special effects aren't completed, but based on the rough, it is going to be a big Summer popcorn flick.

A lot of minor characters featured, and a lot of cameos. Fun times abound. Storm, despite the trailer, does not appear in the film. However, there is a scene
in the film where Quicksilver and Riptide make a quick appearance. Emma Frost has a small but crucial part, though they made her Silver Fox's sister for some reason. Cyclops and Emma have a bit of screen time together, which was interesting and somewhat of a bone thrown to long time comic fans. Even Professor X makes a cameo. Yup, ole Patrick Stewart came back to the franchise that made him richer than he already was.

Other notable characters include Gambit, Blob,Deadpool and Sabertooth. They call one character Barnall, but he is not Beak. I don't know who he's suppossed to be, but he's got cool electric powers. Maverick appears, but as his alter ego, Agent Zero.

I don't have a lot to say negatively. Except for the ending. The hodge podge of Deadpool into Weapon XI was retarded to say the least. And not to mention, Ryan Renolds is only in the movie for 20 minutes, and doesn't play Deadpool in the end of the movie. He does however make a credible Wade Wilson (before the cancer).

I give this film 4.5/5. Can't give it a full 5 because I haven't seen the finished cut.But if the sloppy copy is this good, I can only imagine what the finished copy will be.
