Wolverine’s Claws in X-Men Origins

Posted 1 year, 3 months ago in SmellyBroom Blog.

So, I watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine the other week. Now, this isn’t going to be a rant about the movie’s plot or anything like that. This is going to be a rant purely about the shitness of the CG on Wolverine’s claws.

X-Men was released in 2000 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine was released in 2009. In 9 years you’d expect the advancements in special effects to be pretty substantial right?

Well let’s take a look, X-Men on top and X-men Origins on the bottom.

Claw Comparison

To put it kindly, it looks like they got a 4 year old blind kid to draw the claws on with a felt-tip pen. And they probably didn’t give him enough sweets so he ended up doing a shit job of it on purpose.

What were they actually thinking…

This may be true, but unfortunatly in the first X-men film the claws were actually a real prop and they used a model arm with an air pressured system to push the claws out on close ups.

FACT: Commenting really does make you cool.
