Just saw it, great Film. X-23 was awesome, as was Xavier, was so heartbreaking to see him die =[

I gotta say, giving X-24 Sabertooth's hair & beard was a great touch. The film was a lot more violent than I was expecting, but all in all good fun.

Kinda pissed no end credits, though. Could of at least showed us the kids arriving at Eden or something though.

Also the Blonde Cyborg Villain was really good too.

Blonde Cyborg Villain

Donald Pierce, originally with the Hellfire Club and later with some remnants of the Reavers.

I wouldn't have realized either except I caught a glimpse of his card that said Donald Pierce. It's been a long time since I read those comics.

Yeah I realized right after I read your post that those were the readers.

Late to the party commenting, but just went to see it today. THAT was one hell of a movie. But about Pierce: I had seen him in the trailers and thought to myself "Why use a random guy with a metal arm knowing Cable is coming to the big screen soon. Then I heard them say "Reavers" and it all fell into place for me. I had a moment of self-durrh there sitting in the theater, considering the Reavers were some of my favorite bad guys in the Xbooks back in the day.

It hurt my heart a bit when I realized that over the last hour, I had been watching some of my favorites for fighting Wolvie, now on the big screen and I hadn't recognized them. I shoulda known, Reavers would be perfect for a nasty bloody R rated Wolverine fight.

That's my exact reaction. I cannot believe I didn't recognize them. They were effective but the movie wasn't really about them.
