X-men was saturated in socially relevant story lines, especially in regards to discrimination and prejudice.

What the hell are people talking out of?

only 12 year olds and losers love wolverine.then theres the 30 year olds, you think the source material of the character comes from the old fox animated show. With that being said, "this is ruining my childhood!"

I'm sure there's a part where Wolverine will break out in joyous song and dance!

Woo Hoo, Hugh Jackman, so good in . . .

They need to take the approach that Elektra did and make the fans happy by putting Wolverine in the yellow suit and the mask that was missing from the X-films. Just like Elektra was missing her red suit from Daredevil. Do that and not have Jackman take it off thousands of times like Tobey did in Spider-man, and you've pleased me.

Please don't mess this movie up for me. I won't be too picky, just make him pissed off, dark, confused, and kicking ***.

Don't use the word fun. I want my wolverine angry, pissed off, and confused. nothing fun bout that. the only "fun' should be him beating people up.

Can we please please please make this R?
Because truly, that would be FUN.
PG-13 would not be fun. At all.

We'll have to wait and see what happens.
I really don't think this is huge news, but I'm still excited.
As long was Ratner doesn't suddenly show up and start spreading his craziness/absolute crap, I'll certainly be happier than I was in X3.
