"Daddy why is that laughing man committing violence against that uninterested woman?"

 

[kryptonianmutie]

well that doesnt mean anything, women can have willies too, you know?

Not my kind of women.

Damn,

I expected XMA to lose to that stupid turtle movie but it couldn't even fend off that love story movie!

 

[rushmore223]

Don't know if you guys are on drugs, or if I've become very easy to please, but I enjoyed this movie. It wasn't perfect, it had some cheesy moments/dialogue here and there, but it's nowhere near as bad as so many are saying on here.

The Quicksilver scene alone was worth the price of admission, had I paid, that is.

For me I rank them...

1. DOFP
2. X2
3. X1 and XM:A
4. XM:FC
5. whatever else they end up making
6. Rotten Dog Carcass
7. X3:TLS

X-Men first class is easily better than X-Men 1, unless you're grading on a Mystique curve.

Well, I like The Wolverine and would probably put it at 3.5 (on the list), I guess. It would rank higher if the last 15 minutes weren't so bad.

Wolverine Origins, hmmm, that's a tough one. Can't remember if X3 was worse, but I'm thinking Origins might have more Schlocky Entertainment Value, but doubt I'll ever bother to watch it again, so I guess that would be number 6.5 on my list.

FC did nothing for me, I recognize it as being better made than some of the other movies, but I really was not into it at all. Now that I've gotten more acclimated to the younger cast, it may rank higher on a second viewing. But I think the only thing I really enjoyed from FC was Fassbender, especially his Nazi hunting.

And Yes, I do enjoy Romijn's Mystique much more than JL.

The Wolverine I liked a lot personally, until that final act, which...yeah... XMO:W is an abomination and should be down there with those Swamp-Thing, Man-Thing, Elektra and whatnot CBMs.

I think the one Universal thing about MCU, is that everybody seems to agree at just how bad XMO:W is.

It's a Uniter, not a Divider.

 

[rushmore223]

On a side note, the theater I went to is Really trying to push the 3D on the consumer. I usually like 3D, and will opt for it if my Daughter cares, but we chose 2D for this movie, and in a large theater with 16 screens, they put this movie in a 40 seat auditorium! No wonder it sold out so fast last week! This is a pretty big movie, no way it should be playing in their smallest micro theater yet. The movie in the other Micro-Theater was The Lobster.

I saw that about 2 months or so ago. Mostly because of the cast and the director being from here. It was... interesting....

Ummm..... Riddick? That's my best guess.



I actually do want to see The Lobster, but I have no problem waiting for video for that one.

Not who I had in mind...

It's interesting to say the least, it warrants a view. But, much like his previous film, Dogtouth, it's ****ed up. Well, less than Dogtouth (it opened with some sort of experimental lesbian sex/rape scene with spit), but still, it's ****ed up...

 

[rushmore223]

Could somebody explain the after credits scene?

 

[CeltyPredator]

Sequel bait.

 

[rushmore223]

Sequel bait.

Welcome back CP!

I know it's sequel bait, as they usually are, I just don't know what was going on in relation to the overall story because I'm not a comic book reader.

 

[CeltyPredator]

hey! And yeah, neither am I. Honestly after the last teaser for an X-Men movie, I stopped caring. I think it's about Mr. Sinster or something? So that guy.

 

[Victοr]

The guy with the suitcase works for Essex Corp. He took a vial of Logan's blood.

In the comics, Nathaniel Essex is the name of Mr. Sinister, a master geneticist from the 1800s who has a fascination with the Summers bloodline. By teaming up with Apocalypse, he managed to stay alive and well all these years (alien upgrades FTW). He doesn't own a company in the books, but an orphanage where Scott Summers grew up. He's a very creepy villain.

The vial probably has to do with X-23, a female, teenage clone of Wolverine. Or maybe they'll involve Romulus and Daken, who knows?

Wait, what? She's literally supposed to be Logan himself as a young female?
