    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Liev Schreiber was given a muscle suit to wear for his role as Victor Creed, similar to what Vinnie Jones (Juggernaut) wore in X-Men : L'Affrontement final (2006), to make his physique look comparable to Hugh Jackman's two hundred twenty pound figure. The suit made Schreiber feel "humiliated", and he requested a chance to gain real muscle. He trained for three months while filming Les insurgés (2008) in Lithuania, and continued to train alongside Jackman during filming. Jackman also made Schreiber add a great deal of protein to his diet, which Schreiber called "the genocide of chickens." In the end, Schreiber gained forty pounds, and had to buy several new suits due to his back gaining several inches in width: "I can't fit into my favorite suit now. But I felt like I owed it to the genre to be big."
    • Goofs
      Sabretooth and Wolverine are supposed to be brothers, but in the first X-Men (2000) movie they encounter each other several times and there is no mention of this connection. This is because Sabretooth suffers from amnesia just like Wolverine, as explained in the comic book "X2 Prequels: Wolverine", which takes place between X-Men (2000) and X-Men 2 (2003).
    • Quotes

      William Stryker: You know, I'm not proud about the way things ended between us.

      Logan: Conversation's over.

      [bumps past Stryker]

      William Stryker: Playing Little House on the Prairie with a... schoolteacher, I mean, that just isn't *you,* Logan.

      Logan: [turns around] And you would know, huh?

      William Stryker: I would.

      Logan: What do you want, Stryker?

      [Stryker shows Logan the front page of a newspaper with Bradley's picture on it; the title says, "Circus Freak Killed"]

      William Stryker: Bradley was killed three days ago.

      [Logan stares at the paper]

      William Stryker: Wade before that. I believe that someone is hunting down our old team.

      Logan: [looks up at Stryker] Anyone else?

      William Stryker: As far as I know, Victor is safe. But whoever it is has names, addresses.

      Logan: I can take care of myself.

      [gets into his truck]

      William Stryker: This is not about you, Logan.

      [walks up to the driver's side and looks in the window]

      William Stryker: Your country needs you.

      Logan: I'm Canadian.

      [drives away]

      William Stryker: I know you, Logan! I know who you *are*!

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: There are two scenes set after the closing credits. The film's main post-credits scene is of the Deadpool, still alive after being decapitated. He reaches for his head and whispers briefly, ending the scene. This scene does not lead into Deadpool (2016) as that film is set in the new X-Men timeline, whereas this film is set in the old X-Men timeline. An alternate post-credits scene seen (only on the DVD) is of Wolverine in a Japanese bar, leading into Wolverine : Le Combat de l'immortel (2013). During the original theatrical run, which scene you saw was random depending on your theater; the home video version features the Deadpool scene after the credits and the Japanese bar scene is available on the two-disc DVD as a deleted scene.
    • Alternate versions
      German theatrical version was cut by the distributor before submission to the FSK to secure a "Not under 16" rating (the killing of the old couple is shortened, you don't see Wolverine igniting the gasoline). Ironically, the uncut version, submitted for the home video release, was rated "Not under 16" as well, thus rendering the cut theatrical version completely unnecessary.

    8/10
    Much better than the reviews, actions packed FUN
    Forget the reviews that focus on dialogue (it's a comic book character, of course it's clichéd) or other types of thing you may look for in movies like a Room With A View. In this movie you want to see cool action, cool use of superpowers, great fights with CGI that is not obvious and some tension about what happens next. This movie has it all. Academy awards? No. Amazing plot? No, but enough to keep it very interesting, with answers like where Adamantium comes from, Sabretooth and Wolverine relationship, introduction of Deadpool, early view of Cyclops, and much more that keeps the movie going along just fine. This is a solid action film, better than most.
