I think it was pretty damn good, but anyway, doesn't this thread belong to Sup Forums?

His only flaw is that he's too tall but no one is going to cast a midget as the lead in a superhero movie

It's a bit of a grey area, I thought it would have belonged on both boards.

Honestly thought he was fantastic as the character and any other actor would have been far inferior

I honestly wasn't a fan until the Wolverine because that felt like the first movie where he was trying

The suit looks like crap so yeah.

He literally made Wolverine with street clothes the go-to design for normies.

Communicates none of the misanthropic panache of the character while also never coming close to pulling off the visual persona either. Came off like someone trying to act tough and aloof as opposed to it being an innate quality of the character he was portraying. Looked like a spaz during his berserker rages.

Also, too tall. Too pretty. Those may seem like superficial gripes, but I would argue they are paramount to the character.

Yeah, Jackman sucked.

>too pretty
>Hugh Jackman

Too tall, sure, but he's certainly ugly enough to play Logan. Especially with the squinty eyes

this

My only complaint is that now everyone thinks Wolverine is Australian instead of Canadian.

Hero's defined by their clothes aren't hero's at all. A cop shooting your rabid dog isn't a hero Because his uniform.

No its Sup Forums as per the rules (pic related)

Report Kong and Power Ranger live action threads because they arent Sup Forums

As someone who's never cared for either the comics or the movies, he's easily my favorite part of the entire x-men universe. I know he's not a 100% faithful adaptation from the comics of who Wolverine is, but I think he did an excellent job regardless, ESPECIALLY in Logan.

You need to watch this.

;_;

Hes a bit tall for my taste.
>Recast Wolverine to accurate manlet proportions
>Casuals complain

Wasnt James Howlett from USA originally or retconned in Origins (Comic not the Movie) ?

Here's your (you) now go troll elsewhere

...

that's real fuckin' neato

So you're saying it should've been Don Cherry beating the shit out of all of those private security forces?

I just realized that hugh jackman never got to wear pic related before retiring from the character

He did a good job

But the fox movies themsleves were hot garbage

Time to give back the rights to marvel

>Came off like someone trying to act tough and aloof as opposed to it being an innate quality of the character he was portraying. Looked like a spaz during his berserker rages.
lol
You guys try so hard to hate good things it comes off as pathetic.

Because it's an awful costume. That's something everyone realized on day 1

Too tall

not enough "bub"s

hairstyle was wrong, even in the first movie

>Because it's an awful costume.

Batman wears like the same fucking thing and you see it in every Batman film

>Batman wears like the same fucking thing
Not even close.

quit sucking batcock

it's almost the same suit

...

Hugh did it great I just hate the lack of good enemies

No, Wolverine is a Sup Forums character. The thread is asking about Hugh Jackman's performance as said Sup Forums character. So it's a Sup Forums thread. Though it could be on Sup Forums too

He wasn't playing the Wolverine in that movie

I like this. But the mask ears, or whatever they are supposed to be, need to be a bit smaller.

But he was.

Despite never really looking the part physically, he did a great job of making the role his own while remaining faithful to the character and his origins and I'm glad he had one last movie to show us that he was as good a Wolverine as anyone could have hoped for. He will be sorely missed.

Great way to end the X-Men "series"

Now give the rights back

Nice falseflag.
X-Men wouldn't fit the MCU at all, it would be a clusterfuck to introduce mutants this late.
They can give away Fantastic 4 though, since it's clear Fox has no fucking idea of what to do with them.

Is that Laura? Those tits look about the right size

I think of him as a sadman.

isn't this the porn parody?
it looks almost great, but to be fair a custom lit still is not indicative of how good it would look in action.

It's the Wolverine costume used in the Super Power Beatdown shorts.

Can someone explain me where this film fits in the X-men movie universe?

First I thought it took place after the future from Days from the future past, since that future is 2023 and this movie was set in 2029,

But then I remembered in the movie said its been 25 years since the last mutant was born, if in 2023 there was a school filled with young mutants it can't be the same timeline.

Is this a third timeline inside the universe or what?

>We are in the future, we have passed the point of the epilogue of Days Of Future Past.

collider.com/logan-timeline-explained-james-mangold/

As I said, that's the logic thought, but then again, the movie clearly contradicts it, if there hasn't been new mutants in 25 years, there couldn't be mutant kids in the epilogue from Future Past

In the context of the movie, yeah, he did some good acting.

Unfortunately, the character he played wasn't really "Wolverine" and nor has he ever played a true to source material version of the character.

>nor has he ever played a true to source material version of the character.

"Source Material" Wolverine is all over the fucking place, as a result of being whored out in tons of books.

>His only flaw is that he's too tall but no one is going to cast a midget as the lead in a superhero movie

Which is a shame because being small (but furious) is one of Wolverines defining traits as a character. Hell, it's why he is named Wolverine to begin with.

>isn't this the porn parody?

Fun fact: the porn parodies were by far the most comic-accurate comic based movies.

They even managed to do a 100% cartoon accurate Scooby Doo porn. Complete with a hall chase scene, and "I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids".

And Hugh Jackman hasn't played any of them.

It really matters how tall he is? I mean, in the movies he is never seen as a tall man, his real persona being tall, doesn't have any repercusions on how the character is portrayed. In the movie he is shorter than Cyclops

Fuck the suit, Wolverine himself has such an iconic look, there's no point covering it up. Also, Jackman was great and gonna be missed.

You can't do the character justice without wearing the suit.

exactly. batman fans would be bullshit if he didn't wear the suit.

wolverine "himself" is absolutely not as iconic as the cowl. Doesn't even need to be day-glow yellow, orange/brown works, but the claws and cowl are wolverine.

I wish we were fighting over whether or not he looked better in the orange or yellow, or if they left the red belt out or not.

pic related is wolverine on almost every piece of merchandise I've ever seen.

It's in the future after the end of DoFP. Also it is implied that X-men comics and by extension previous xmen films are fictionalised versions of Logan's real life. So they have an out to continue the franchise by saying Logan isn't really in the X-men continuity after all

>but much suit
Oh fuck off

Why would Logan even wear a bright yellow spandex suit? Does he have any reason to in this movie? Do you seriously think Wolverine would just suit up and fight for justice? No, it's only because you comic book nerds want to watch the movie and say "IT'S JUST LIKE MY COMICS!", you just want the movie to pander to you and deliver fanservice while not even thinking about what's best for the story.

I'm glad the people in charge of good movies have professional integrity.

expect another shit f4 movie because fox is being spiteful. If they can't make a profit off of it no one can. It's cheaper for them to throw a bomb every 4 years than it is to show investors what a success the ip is in someone else's hand.

Batman's is not YELLOW.

I really don't get the fuss about Jackman never wearing the suit. It strikes me as such a small thing to be upset about.

On the other hand, Jackman did a great job with the character. No, it wasn't exactly Wolverine from the comics, but it was an excellent interpretation. Since I assume there will be some sort of major reboot of the X-Men franchise eventually, I suppose someone else will have a shot at playing Wolverine -- and I feel pretty sorry for whoever tries to do it.

Fuck what everyone says. He was awesome as Logan/Wolverine, and I'm gonna miss the dude. He IS live action Wolverine to me, and he'll always will be.

>Fuck arguments, he's Wolverine to me because muh feelings!
>No, I haven't read many Wolverine comics. Why do you ask?

You have to get over this shit mate.
first=/=best

How would you know? You haven't read the comics.

If the writers of the movies never cared about the timeline, why should you?

He's too tall, other than that he's perfect for the role.
And I don't think that the classic suit would ever work in live action, maybe the suit but not the mask.
That mask just doesn't look good in real life.

I can live with the wifebeater, jacket or leather costume.

Speaking of leather

No fun "muh grit" faggots like you are cancer.

That post is wrong tho. Jackman does act like comic Wolverine.

Scooby doo movies had those too

Not an argument.

>muh comics
It's an adaptation.

Do you faggots realize that one of the greatest alien invasion movies of all time is based on a political protest novel? No, of course not because your cultural literacy is stunted and you do nothing to improve it.

That said, Logan is also a direct appeal to that same juvenile cultural illiteracy through wanton graphicness and millennial delusions as to what family is.

That said, it does a great job of doing almost everything it does. It's probably gonna wind up in my top 5 capeshit.

I accept your concession.

What? You can't just say "it's wrong" without explaining why.

I can when none of your points make Jackman a bad Wolverine adaptation.

If it acts nothing like the comics, then what are we left with? An original character. He might as well be called Clawman. Like I said, you don't know anything about the comics.

>you don't know anything about the comics.
Source?

the real question is how did they get away with putting a Hulk villain in a fox movie?

See and follow the replies if you feel like going in circles.

>and follow the replies if you feel like going in circles.
no u
You played yourself. Your argument is literally "not muh".

Anyone else still feel like shit after watching the film? ;_;

What? My argument is he's not a good adaptation because it doesn't adapt anything. Your argument is he's good because "muh fee fees, fuck facts."

>because it doesn't adapt anything.
>anything
Hyperbole alert.

I like how you focus on small words while ignoring my points. You still haven't answered why he's good if he might as well be a new character.

>if it acts nothing like the comics (wrong), but then wears the suit it's ok
Ftfy

He acts gruff, sometimes feral, has a disdain for Cyclops, has muh Samurai damashii, has smoked cigars, was an experiment of the Weapon X program, drinks a lot, gets btfo by Mags as a rule of thumb. It's fucking Wolverine.

>he might as well be a new character.
This isn't remotely true and it's why you are hard to take seriously.

Who mentioned the suit, retard?

>Isn't true
Not an argument. See if you feel like making a point.

Are these "facts" really those mysterious "alternative facts"? That's what it seems like.

It's an adaptation, it quite simply isn't "MUH", but it's still an adaptation.

Nobody said it isn't an adaptation, it's just a bad one.

>See
see
then see

I agree with everything here. Except...

I appreciate him. He played the character the way he was allowed to mostly. He was lucky to have ever been in the role and only did get it as a lest resort.

But he never played Wolverine. He played a guy named Logan.

>Bothering to link the first post when it just says "not true" without explaining why
Your second post just says he shares the character's origin and he smokes. He's not short, he doesn't wear similar clothes or similar hairstyle, he doesn't have a similar personality. If that's enough to be a good adaptation to you, then I'm sorry you're so easily impressed.

Actually, this fuckhead, did
>it doesn't adapt anything

>he doesn't have a similar personality.
Similar or identical?
Because he DEFINITELY has a SIMILAR personality.

You're arguing semantics. His point was it was a bad adaptation.
