I want him back for more X-Men! He was great.


People who think that X-Men Origins: Wolverine sucked must've forgotten all about what a fun, intense, ambiguous and badass villain/anti-hero Liev Schreiber was in it when he portrayed Sabretooth. I want more of that. The movie had a thousand problems, but a Liev Schreiber ain't one of them.

Liev was one of the good things on that lame movie. He and Jackman's abs, of course.

My husband and I would love to see him play Victor again. My husband thought he was perfect in the role, and I agree.

I continue to re-watch that movie a couple times a year because I love his portrayal so much. I'd love to see him back for Wolverine 3 or really any film they would fit him into.

I liked him as Victor Creed, much moreso than Tyler Mane. Though, in the Tyler's defense, he had few to no lines to work with.

I hope they bring him back, but Fox seems to want to retcon that whole movie. It's a shame because the rest of the cast was awesome. Danny Huston was the best Stryker yet, and I even liked the actress who played Kate Silverfox. I thought that Taylor Kitsch was decent as Gambit, and I liked Kevin Durant as Frank Dukes. Ryan Reynolds obviously owns the role of Deadpool, which he later turned into box office gold. This film should have been one of the best in the X-men franchise, but in the end it fell a little short of that.

The problems with the film were some of the CGI was hokey (especially in the fight scenes, the script wasn't great, and some of the mutants were not well conceived or were underdeveloped (Emma Frost, the mute Deadpool). A decent editor could have fixed most of it, but I guess it was just a cash grab.
