As much as I like Hugh Jackman, the first Wolverine movie was absolutely horrible. I had hoped that the studios would not attempt to make a sequel, but since the first one made money they are going to milk this cash cow for what it is worth. However, I will wait for it to come to Direct Tv in high def. I will not be paying theater admission to see this (very likely to be a mess of a) movie.

As long as he doesn't sing in it, I'm there.

Maybe you can make this one cheesier than the first one if you try really, really hard!

Here's some ideas:

-How about a hilarious scene where a powerful restaurant critic comes into Wolverine's restaurant and he's so nervous he can't control his claws! They get stuck in things and he careens around the kitchen trying to free himself, cutting everything to ribbons, and then when he finally gets ahold of himself everyone is surprised to find that by accident he sliced up the food for a 5-star meal! Then the critic only gives 4-stars and he kills him.

-How about instead of metal claws limp stalks of asparagus come out his wrists?

-Could we get a few more scenes where he holds a dead body, screams "Noooo" at the sky with a top-down spiral-up camera shot? 2 in the first wasn't enough need at like 5 or 6 to be considered a good movie.

-How about get used one of those boxing glove extender guns to fight crime instead of super powers and claws?

-I'm thinking he should drive a Yugo with fur glued to it since that's the car that most reminds me of a Wolverine.

Cmon we want the worst movie ever made!

Dearest Hugh,
I love you madly, and it's nice that you're making another Wolverine movie. (I don't mind all the hair--that's part of the character.)

HOWEVER, please, please, get the people who wrote the script for the second X-Men movie to write the script for this one. "X-Men 2: X-Men United" has been the best of the movies so far, and if you can't get Bryan Singer to direct the new one, at least get the script writers from "X-Men 2" to write this one!

Thank you

I love Hugh Jackman. Singing, not singing, covered in fur or not. Hosting the Oscars, he was a riot. The movie Australia was watchable because of Hugh. The Prestige was also excellent. So talented.

Hugh, dear, can't we have a movie where your face (and body) is not covered with lots of fur??

Van Helsing, Wolverine...all this lupine obsession...I think you should call it a day.

My advice - take it to an adult level. Logan is too soft and mushy. Wrong all wrong.

Time to harden the Wolverine up. It can still be done look at what they did with Batman.

Next Level Hugh !! He's not a chic flick get rid of the care and concern and romance. We want hard knuckle, unkept hair growth and steely brawn.

I want to see some angry dispassion for humans not eloquent speechs and wimpy tears.

They are running this character and film franchise into the ground.


While Jackman may have been the sexiest Oscar host, much of that show was pointless, especially the completely random "salute to musicals" number and the absurd "In Memorium" segment with the crazy camera angles.
