LOL Moments in X-Men Origins: Wolverine

So X-Men Origins: Wolverine isn't a great movie. Honestly, is this really a surprise? (I'm sure you watched the same trailers I did.)

Regardless of whether the film is good or not, it's certainly entertaining. I know I laughed at numerous parts throughout the film...which is why I've decided to compile this list.

(If it's not obvious, this article contains spoilers)

  • James Howlett yelling as a kid (though I did like the shot of him running out of the hallway, straight from X1 + X2)
  • Slow motion war montage
  • Maverick gun montage
  • Ryan Reynolds slices a bullet in half
  • Everyone lets Logan walk away after telling him they can't just let him walk away
  • "Was it the war? Which one?" "All of them."
  • Agent Zero shooting the cigar
  • Logan yells after the "death" of his girlfriend Silver Fox
  • Wolverine can hear under water.
  • Wolverine goes through the exploding barn in the motorcycle
  • Wolverine jumps onto the helicopter off the exploding Humvee
  • Wolverine walks away in slow motion while flames explode behind him (action cliche #1!)
  • Wolverine's pseudo-parents get randomly pwned (who didn't see that coming?) and he does not later have a scene where he cries or buries them. Total plot accessory.
  • Adamentium bullets introduced right after Agent Zero dies (Only six too!)
  • Wolverine fights the Blob in a totally unnecessary fight/cameo
  • will.i.am gets pw3nd by Sabertooth for being "predictable"
  • Gambit climbing the wall with his broken staff
  • Wolverine cutting apart the fire escape to get to Gambit. (Why does this shot last so long?)
  • Wolverine jumps out of the low altitude flying plane
  • Silverfox is ALIVE!
  • Wolverine walks away
  • Wolveirne instantly teleports back to defend Silverfox (he even took off his jacket!)
  • Wolverine running down the corridor of cages with his arms outstretched and a super constipated look on his face
  • Scott's random optic blast. "Did I get them?" (Why does Cyclops now have HEAT VISION?)
  • Kayla telling her sister to lead the kids out to safety - even though she has no idea if it's safe outside. And in fact, it's not given that Deadpool and Creed are out there.
  • Deadpool is revealed to operate via remote computer (with a great UI for the 1970s/80s)
  • Cyclops is a dick ("I just know.")
  • Sabertooth saves Wolverine (man he really is the Protoman of this movie!)
  • Deadpool teleports and wrecks Sabertooth and Wolverine (is this in the video game?)
  • Deadpool has OPTIC BLASTS (which Wolverine can block with his CLAWS...MvC2 indeed)
  • Deadpool's decapitated head destroys one of the nuclear cooling towers
  • Gambit gets an ASSIST OK by destroying the concrete
  • "His brain may heal but his memories won't."

The claws in this are sadly better than the claws in the movie.
