High Hopes for X-Men Origins: Wolverine



On one hand, I see this as an unnecesarily long name for a movie, but at the same time I can see that they're very clearly trying to establish a brand that they can use to push lesser known X-Men characters into full fledged movies. There's no better place to start than with Wolverine, and this trailer looks like it has sock rocking potential. I am curious to see how the involvement of Gambit works out. My skepticism for this movie has been slightly reduced courtesy of this trailer, but time will time.

The fact it has Hugh Jackman in it is good. When I first heard about it, it sounded like blatant capitalisation on the X-men brand (which I guess it is) but as they have the actual Wolverine in it from the X-men movies, I am quite looking forward to it.

Pity about Ryan Reynolds being in it....
