10 Trailers That Were Way Better Than Their Films

7. X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Wolverine Things couldn€™t get any worse for the X-Man franchise after X3: The Last Stand. Right? Well that€™s sort of true, as Wolverine€™s prequel story is pretty much on par with how terrible that was. How a film released 9 years after the first €˜X-Men€™ can make Wolverine€™s claws look like they belonged in Toon Town from Roger Rabbit is pretty horrific. Not to mention the screenwriters should have been told that we didn€™t need to spend ten minutes figuring out how Logan got his jacket. The trailer, on the other hand, is quite good. We get John Murphy€™s music from €˜Sunshine€™, which plays under some pretty cool looking historical settings with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine looking as badass as ever. We€™re also introduced by way of quick shots to fan favourite characters like Deadpool and Gambit. Hopefully this summers The Wolverine will continue the good work X-Men: First Class started in 2011 and move the franchise forward. http://youtu.be/LPmbGzQaOCs

As a pretty nerdy guy, I've loved film and television since I was a wee lad. Growing up in Ireland, The Den was the show to watch with it playing Batman The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation and everything in between. I have an MA in Radio and Television Production and have written for various sites, hope you enjoy my articles/lists for What Culture!
