5 Reasons Wolverine the Video Game is Better than the Movie

Okay, so maybe it's not God of War II (in fact, it suffers from more than a few drawbacks), but X-Men: Origins Wolverine is a hundred times better than the new brain-meltingly rotten film starring Hugh Jackman. Here's five of the reasons why.

because we've already seen the movie and it wasn't even finished yet?

The movie came out today, i saw the midnight release of it. Extremely disapointing. Low quality CGI and bad screen play. The game is so much better.

Maybe meh but not amazing. Most the CGI looked like they ran out of money and couldn't finish it. Some parts looked fine others look horrible. Half the theater laughed when you first see his claws they looked so fake. Also parts just looked like they didn't put a lot of thought or work into it. The helicopter portion for example. Some of the scenes with his girl and other characters the background looked so fake, I watched the early screening and I thought that it was horrible CGI and they would fix it, well they did but only fixed half of it.

Sorry for the broken typing it's 2am and I've been up all day, falling asleep while typing.

I have yet to see the movie. But I just downloaded the demo on XBL and it owns. I will be picking up my first ever video game based off a movie. I cant believe i just said that lol

The game owns go buy it =)

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I've been playing the game all night and although there are some minor gripes the game is really fun, definitely worth a buy for me, upgrading is done well and Wolverine kicks some ass in this game.

i was talking about how a ton of people have already seen the early copy of the movie, kind of spoiling the finished product.

The movie was pretty awful. Saw that workprint leak a couple weeks ago. Gambit, a character I had wanted to see in an X-Men movie since I heard the 1st one was in development, was the biggest disappointment in a series of colossal disappointments that filled the 2 hours that movie stole from me. Like that lame half-assed Venom in Spiderman 3 kinda disappointing.

[Sangheili85]

Totally agree, but the biggest disappointment to me was the horrible CGI. Unlike Ironman and hulk (the new one) which had amazing CGI this movie half of it looked so fake, oh and my favorite mutant Deadpool was ruined.

deadpool not a mutant

[artgamer]

A terrible movie indeed

[MK_Red]

1 Reason is enough:
Wolverine's Claws do WHAT they are SUPPOSED to do. Cut and rip through people with lots of blood and gore. Also, Fox didn't make it.

[gambare]

they reduce that to make it a T rated movie... damn... just watch the video...

[gambare]

I was hoping some director like Zack Snyder grabbed the Weapon X comic and bring it to the big screen, that plot could make a great movie but only if the comic story was untouched just like the Watchmen movie.

sigh....

[7thNightvolley]

i just played the demo on my ps3 its really gd .. go rent or buy this game for a movie game its really freaking good. damn i love the gore.

[OhReginald]

. i hated it.

[terrandragon]

I tried it, I would say it's leaning towards a buy. The graphics aren't the best, but they fit well. The bosses are cool to fight and there are even kills by using the environment. Extremely gory, and just the way I like it.

So the movie has been out for 2 days (officially) and already it has a bunch of morons waiting to totally trash it. Why is it that unless a movie is oscar worthy these days (especially if it also has a game counterpart) that it has to suck? It's not the case - just look at Iron Man, heck even the latest Hulk movie is about as good as a movie about the Hulk is gonna get.

X-Men Wolverine Origins is an enjoyable action movie that has plenty of spectacular visuals and fits in nicely with the main trilogy of X-Men movies. So just because there's not enough blood and guts for some people or it's not 100% truthful to the comics, it sucks? That's ridiculous and so is choosing an average 60 dollar/euro game over a decent 8-10 dollar/euro movie showing. Just play the demo and judge for yourself - it may be fun for a while but there's not much more to it.

[skare13]

I saw it last night (I waited to see it), some of the FX wasn't that good, and it wasn't that close to the comic. But for the story part was not that good, why fake a death just to kill off that person later. Why would Gambit break up a fight between Wolverine and creed. How did Wolverine become the leader of the group. There is other things that I can't think of right now. For a big movie the writing should all come together.

[Final_Aeon]

Even some of the best movies have dumb mistakes and plot holes in them. Just because they have great scource material and a big budget, doesn't mean it'll "all come together". I think any objective person would gladly take the movie as it is (with it's flaws) instead of just going with the flow of this topic - saying that it's bad for minor reasons.

1. You only think Reynolds is a douche if you're offended by his good looks or have a girlfriend who has seen him and wonders why you can't look and act more like him. Sorry, but Reynolds has been a fan favorite to play Deadpool and Flash and he's far from being a douche like Kutcher, very far.

2. Your first taste of God of War-like gameplay happened in more than a few games already. Conan, Heavenly Sword, etc.

I think I'll wait till the price of the game lowers a bit and get it, I've already got a back log of games to play (just picked up Army of Two and Mercenaries 2 for $20 @ Amazon.com plus some new DS games at the same price).

[Phantom_T]

Pity the director used so little of him,and instead filled the screen with crap CGI and a half-arsed Gambit.
