I'll always feel X-men 2 was the best portrayal. A couple of times they pushed the PG-13 boundary of how violent he could be (e.g. the attack on the School in the first part of the film). I hope they don't lose sight of what made Deadpool a success either. Being rated R was a byproduct of being faithful to the character.Trailer has me slightly hopeful, just hoping they learned a thing or two for deadpool. Buuuut ignorance is bliss, I avoided all of the other wolverine movies, and latest xmen movies.
Btw, x23(laura) isn't my favorite Wolverine sidekick, it's Armor, in an alternate story, she's a bro to the end.

They just dont have the rights to do anything close to Old Man Logan justice. I am worried everything is going to end up a lot less interesting and generic because of that.
God dammit. Now I have to go see this. I agree it will probably end up being another suckfest, but god dammit if that trailer didn't make me well up a little. Johnny Cash's version is without question my favorite "I'm totally not crying" song (and watching his video to go along with it is even worse), and then drop sad and broken Logan and a little girl that needs his help into the mix? Fuck me. Fuck me right in the fucking feels.
I know I shouldn't pay to see this in theaters, I know it.
I'm going to come back in a few months and quote this when I come to the conclusion that yes, indeed, I should not have paid for it in theaters. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
send her back to the past Xavier and that will be the end of it.
