Arrrrrghhhhhhhhhhh, Wolverine is a foot taller then Sabertooth.

Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) should have been cast as Sabertooth. The list of reasons why Liev Shreiber is wrong for the role are too numerous to state. Let's just leave it at, HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE SABERTOOTH!!!

If you look closely it seen like sabertooth is no matc to wolverine here in the movie and if you are a fan of comics you see that sabertooth is the opposite of wolverine , he is bigger , stronger , more animal than wolverine ohhhhhhh don forget he is completely psichotic

I was kinda thinking along the same line as Fox on this one. I was thinking the only way to have the best Wolverine movie possible would be to have sabertooth look nothing like Sabertooth. In fact have him look like wolverine instead. That way we can piss off the legion of fans and confuse newcomers all at the same time. This was a no brainer

Yeah, Hugh's taller than Liev. So what? Seriously. We all know comic!Wolverine is short. Hugh is 6'3". It just wasn't gonna happen that Sabes would be taller. And, *honestly* who cares? The writing dichotomy is that Sabes is stronger and more vicious; Wolverine is smarter and more skilled. Height has nothing to do with the dynamic - aside from a cartoony-size-differential. I repeat. WHO. CARES.IF. HUGH.IS.TALLER?

Why are you hitting yourself?

In the long run most people won't be bothered by the height, but I always liked them being polar opposites. The comic versions always pointed to Sabertooth having all the advantages, but Wolverine always somehow getting the upper hand in the end.

Wrong guy to play Sabertooth. Especially since we saw the bigger, taller Sabertooth in the 1st movie [Tyler Mane]. What, did he hit a late mutant growth spurt at 30?!?!

All you people whinning about hollywood making the wrong choices are just beating a dead horse, a better idea is to go and work in hollywood and try to change it if you think you know everything. I'm mean that's why boycotting films don't work...because it's whinning.
