My guess is that what we watched turned out to be blended reality and implanted memories.

Anton, I like the way you think. I would be very satisfied with this explanation.

I also unlike the entire bullet-in-the-head idea so I believe it to be a better explanation that the bullet must be extremely heavy, and that the extreme knock on his head made the brain squash around in his head so it received its damage that way. the bullet would be reflected because it is not deformed and the head wound would not heal because his body was focusing on the brain itself. A huge concussion is what I would go for.

I don’t think that wolverine’s adamantium skeleton is indestructible, I think it’s virtually indestructible. That being said, it would take an incredible amount of energy to punch a hole through his skull, even if the bullet was strong enough. Would a bullet fired from a simple little gun have enough velocity? How much speed would be required? I was incredibly skeptical of this and was pretty disappointed with this in the movie. Notice how the skin over the bullet holes didn’t heal for like 5 minutes while the director tried to get people to really notice the holes? It’s like he was screaming ‘look everybody, this makes sense, right?’. Also, in the 1st x-men movie, they show an xray of his skeleton and there are no holes. This movie had to many holes for me.

Yeah, I’m no scientist, either. My hang-up, though, is the term “indestructible.” That word is like “unique,” either something’s unique, or it isn’t. Something is either indestructible, or it isn’t. You know what I’m saying? To totally geek-out on you, it’s like Captain America’s shield. I’ve seen Wolverine cut through all kinds of metal, but he’s never cut through Captain America’s shield, because it’s indestructible. By that fictional logic, nothing should be able to pierce Wolverine’s skull, even material made from the same indestructible metal.

Well I’m not scientist but I think if it’s the same metal but it’s shaped to be armor-piercing and it’s moving at the velocity of a bullet it would get through.

Thanks, Vince. See, my reviews aren’t so bad:)

I don’t disagree with anything you said. The bullet scene at the end left a bad taste in my mouth as well. Makes no sense.
