Merrick here... There's now a more better version over at MTV. Here's an embed:
Or, for HD...

GO THERE!!!





Hey folks, Harry here... Ya know... I can't believe this. I get that Fox is trying to go with the broadest appeal possible by putting the trailer up on USA TODAY. I get it. That it is embedded on that page at POSTAGE STAMP size - well it harkens back to the birth days of trailers on the internet. Remember when the only way to see trailers was the size of postage stamps - that took nearly an hour to download... were impossible to 'step' frame by frame through??? Well, there's no download speed problems here - but my god. You'll be looking at a postage stamp. THEN... well, you can click a button to go fullscreen, but at a really really bad resolution. Which reminds me of those first downloadable trailers that when you resized big, it was a rorschach of blurry motion. Only slightly better. But frankly... who does this? Seriously? Is there no quality control? When they put the trailer in front of all those USA TODAY site readers... did they really want them to not look very closely at the trailer? I suppose it's only a matter of time till they put a really great HD version out there, but ya know... first impressions are everything. That said... How is the trailer? Looks cool. Of more interest is Jackman stepping up and putting this film on his shoulders of responsibility. Basically declaring that he's producing this to make Wolverine the BADASS we've always wanted him to be. This film has a troubled production, but I've also heard that they've really been working hard to make this the best film they could. That said... I haven't seen anything or heard anything from a trusted source that has made me less nervous about this film. But let's hope for the best, right? Click here for the postage stamp or large Monet!
