Aaah, easter eggs. I didn't stay through all the credits so I'm not sure if we saw anything.

Did you wait long enough to see Stryker's fate? Tip for all: never leave the cinema until at least some of the lights come on.
I was in Sky Shadow's situation, sitting through all the credits for no real pay off (except a vague suggestion apparently of what Wolverine 2 might be about). No one else hung through all those credits in my cinema except me, but after walking out on Iron Man I knew not to make that mistake again.
I thought the film suffered from the same flaws as all comic book origin films: I've read this story multiple times and it didn't add enough. Does this make sense to someone who hasn't read a Wolverine comic before?
Loved Ryan Reynold's Wade Wilson.
Loved loved loved Taylor Kitsch as Gambit (a character I never thought would work on film did so excellently) and he was totally hot. Yes Hugh's a good looking man, but Taylor as Remy is so much sexier. Give him a film!
Liev Schreiber was also great at Sabretooth and this film understood what makes Sabretooth an interesting character (unlike X-Men which made him a growling uninteresting henchman).
Hated the crappy CGI.
Liked the character cameos, but if you're going to have an X-Men story where Scott Summers as a kid is taken to a laboratory to be experimented on and you don't mention a Dr Essex or a Dr Milbury then you get a massive fail!
In general a faithful adaptation, particularly the Origin opening (despite the random aussie soap stars).

i have never read the origins of wolverine but have seen bits and pieces of the cartoon to make out what happened but the movie still made sense although it seemed pretty different to the cartoon, like there was no bald guy there to brainwash wolverine
im glad im not the only one that noticed some of the crappy cgi in it.
and i dont even know who Dr. Essex and Dr. Milbury are?
if anyone gets a chance you should watch the animated short of Hulk vs Wolverine it is awesome and does have bits and pieces about wolverines origin for the weapon X program

Essex is Mr Sinister's real name and Dr Milbury is one of his aliases, and a major element of Cyclops's origin is Mr Sinister experimenting on him all through his childhood until (basically) Xavier took him away.
Oh and Digger, the Emma Frost in this movie is still a kid as well, before she had plastic surgery.
OMG of course. How noobish of me.

I love Emma's line about Scott's ongoing feelings for Jean from Astonishing X-Men #1:
"Superpowers, a scintillating wit, and the best body money can buy... and I still rate below a corpse."

Yeah, I normally would've stayed for the end of the credits, but I was kinda in a hurry to move my car because I'd gone overtime for parking. Gah.
I'm glad Weapon X didn't have that goofy helmet or shackles from the comics.
What did you guys think about Agent Zero/Maverick? I didn't know much about the character before I saw the movie - so I guessed that his mutant power was Gun-Fu (extreme acrobatics + super marksmanship + heightened speed & reflexes)... but after doing a quick Google on him I don't recall seeing most of his original powers on the screen. The only possibly being his lack of a discernible scent (which would explain why Wolverine didn't smell him when he snipered that kindly old couple in the barn - although that could also be explained by the fact that he was very far away and using a long range sniper rifle).

Maverick was just a generic cipher in a costume that Jim Lee invented for X-Men #5. His backstory (such as it is) has been fleshed out since then. Over the past seventeen years in comics, Maverick has rarely either possessed or used his powers anyway. So Gun-Fu is pretty accurate.
I'm pretty sure that's just bull$#!* someone posted online. The only confirmed Deadpool ending is the one where Deadpool/Weapon XI's dislocated arm walks over the rubble like 'Thing' from the Addams Family and rubs his own dislocated head.
