11 Movies Where The Reshoots Were Painfully Obvious
4. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
X-Men Origins: Wolverine had a famously messy production where the director Gavin Hood and the head of Fox constantly argued about every facet of the movie. Things got so bad at one point that Hood turned up to a set to find it painted a different colour to the one he'd approved, which was retouched because his choice was apparently too depressing.
To add to Hood's woes there are reports that Superman director Richard Donner ghost-directed chunks of it. In the months leading up to release Origins had extensive reshoots which were apparently centred around Deadpool. But from the final film it's clear a lot more was changed, as the story is a patchwork of scenes badly stitched together. It wants to be a comic book movie, a revenge thriller, a partial reboot, a wacky comedy and a romantic drama all at once. It's a movie that features innocent villagers being slaughtered and then a scene of Wolverine accidentally slashing up a bathroom with his terrible CGI claws that comes right out of a sitcom.
What started out a straight forward origin story for Wolverine was badly compromised during shooting and the final product bears those scars. Someone pass the memory bullets.
