No. It is more in line with the ones that you forget about 5 minutes after leaving the theater IMO. And you could well be right about that, though Mangold is capable of making a much better film than that one was.

Yeah, Fox has ruined some of my favorite characters, Juggernaut, Colossus, Apoc, Silver Samurai, Bishop, and Ice Man.
I hope you're right. Certainly, Suicide Squad was another example of how studio interference can lead to a mild/neutered version of what should have been pretty edgy and interesting (though in that case they definitely made the right move, because the kiddies flocked out to see it). But on the other hand, being violent and X-treme isn't enough in itself. You need a story that is well told, that has a good flow to it, and gives the characters opportunity to relate to the audience on an emotional level. That's what will set any movie apart. If you get Eli Roth to do a Wolverine movie, it will be gory, sure, but. . .
I thought Bishop was a'aight. But then again, I don't care much about anything coming from the '90s, so I didn't have any strong expectations about the guy. Ice Man could have been handled better, since he was a core team member, and was essentially the post-Wolfman Wally West of the original team. I thought Juggy was fine, though he looked a bit silly. In the comics I read, he was never more than a superpowered thug, so I don't need him to have the personality or depth of Ra's al Ghul. But I suppose everyone that was in X3 got tainted by the experience.Yeah, Fox has ruined some of my favorite characters, Juggernaut, Colossus, Apoc, Silver Samurai, Bishop, and Ice Man.
