Here's a new international trailer #2

I don't know it is but this movie isn't getting my blood pumped like all previous X-men/Wolverine movies..

Probably the fairly average X-Men Origins:Wolverine coloring your perception. Hugh Jackman seems aware how that movie wasn't the greatest and has said he did this one to sort of make up for it. So it could be very good.

This one looks very true to the Wolverine comics of the early 90's, so I'm going to give it a chance. No previews, no reviews, I'm just going to walk in blind and hope for the best.

I was hoping it would become a trend and X-Men Origins would focus on some of the more interesting origin stories in the X-Men universe.  I could see a Cyclops and Jean Grey movie being really good, Nightcrawler would be cool, Magneto, so many possibilities.

I kinda like that poster. Japanese posters have some interesting design.

Another image and an international TV spot.

THE WOLVERINE - International TV Spot (2013) [HQ]

Saw this today - great movie! One of the best mutant movies in awhile. Solid story, great cast & solid performances, great action. Jackman was fantastic. If you like Wolverine you have to see this movie. Also - don't get up right away during the credits. Stay put.  :)


ElfManDan

Saw it yesterday and I loved it. There were a few "what?" "why?" moments, but really enjoyable. Picking up after The Last Stand it really makes up for it. And like Rico said stay a little while through the credits. You won't regret it.

Speaking of which...
[spoiler]That was so exciting seeing Magneto and Professor X at the end. It makes me so excited for Days of Future Past. Can't wait to see how that fits together with this timeline.[/spoiler]

You know even though we won't be seeing X-Men in the Avengers universe (I mean likely not) I'm actually kind of ok with that. I think they work so much better separate. They are both such broad universes and I don't think these two universes would play well with each other.

Rico

Glad you liked it too Dan.  You are kind of right about the X-Men and Avengers getting together being pretty big.  The odd thing is currently in Marvel comics they have been working hard to mix the teams together over the last year or two.  With newer titles like the Uncanny Avengers and so on.  I'd like to see it attempted someday on the big screen, but for now it's ok the way it is.

ElfManDan

I think it would be cool someday too, but if they merged the two universes one of them would have to scale back. They both are just so big in scale and have full timelines built I just don't see them being able to merge these two current incarnations of the universe. Would be cool though. And I heard somewhere there may be some lesser known X-Men characters in the next Avengers, but they wouldn't be defined as mutations or being from the X-Men universe.

Rico

I think Hugh Jackman might be tougher and more of a man that Wolverine!  He dead lifts over 400 lbs. here - with no mutant powers!
