It’s been a quarter-century since we first saw Wolverine on the big screen.
What are your thoughts on this precursor to the MCU?
When I saw it, I felt it was the first time that a superhero movie took itself seriously enough to have a good actors, a good script, and good effects. It put what had been in my head up on the screen, and in a way surpassed it.

Batman was a very good movie, but done in an extremely cartoony way. Nicholson’s Joker was fantastic, but goofy. The X-Men took great pains to ground Magneto in the Holocaust.
Michael Keaton was a comedy actor and a weird choice. He was great but not a consensus at the time.
It was better than the first Punisher (1989) and Captain America (1990).
I disliked the leathers, but after seeing Captain America’s rubber suit i understood it.
Captain Picard was great!
Given what X-Men as a franchise is about, “Trust a few, fear the rest” has big "they’re some of the good one vibes. Weird choice for a tagline.
I’m feeling old. It took me a minute to figure out what Mulder and Scully did with Wolverine
First movie I got for free when Google released their movie platform.
People keep thinking of the tiles, but this is where I got my username.
I tried but I can’t figure out the connection
It’s not said in the movie, so far as I can recall, but in the novelization (and comics). The Toad’s secret identity is “Mortimer Toynbee.”
Ahaaa! I forgot Toad was even in this movie. Played by Darth Maul, no less
A fun fact at the time!
Hopefully you didn’t forget what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning.
The same thing that happens to everyone else! (everything else? Eh, I’m close.)
Precisely, fellow Better Off Ted fan.
I tagged you too! :)
