X-Men: Days of Future Past

[Baneofdemon22]

I think the movie will do just fine! I always appreciated that Singer took the characters seriously, and pushed the politically aspects. Matthew Vaugh has done a good job of balancing characters and humor in his movies, without it being a situation of characters competing to out-quip each other, which is a big turn off for me. "Snatch" was a great example of that, and my favorite movie of his. If he doesn't do anymore X-Men, how would you feel about him taking on X-Force? I think it would be a great way to bring Deadpool into the mix, and do a lot of fun stuff with the chemistry between him and Wolverine. It would be great if they were a testing ground for a mature R-rated category, but I completely understand why it's not advised, since it won't reach nearly as big of an audience. If this movie or Apocalypse hits big, the new audience will be old enough by then, and it might bring in folks who never caught on to the whole comic book movie craze, like the Dark Knight did. If they put them in dire "grey area" situations, that will promote morality debates with the audience. There was a lot of "Do the ends justify the means with the X-Force?" It would great to have the X-Men movies with their massive roster, and then have the more intimate movies with around 4 or 5 characters with X-Force.

Snatch was awesome, and Brad Pitt was brilliant in it!

I prefer Vaughn for Apocalypse, and get a different director for X-Force. I don’t want Jeff Wadlow to direct it, thats for sure. I would love to see Deadpool and Cable on the big screen together, the low budget R rated Deadpool movie is still on the cards from what I read, I’m hoping Fox goes the Marvel route and starts giving these amazing characters their own solo films.

I would love it to! I would be really interested in Martin McDonagh directing a Deadpool movie. He's got a similar sense of humor, especially with Seven Psychopaths.

Love that movie, never knew who the director was. He would be perfect for a Deadpool movie. Any other films I might know of his?

That's funny, because when I watched that, I thought Rockwell could do a great Deadpool. Imo he was really miscast and wasted as Hammer, would love to see him cast by another company and reuniting him with McDonaugh for a Deadpool flick could be sick.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

He directed "In Bruges." That's another great one with Colin Farell.

I never thought of Rockwell for Deadpool, but I think he would do a great job!

 

[Silrian]

Oh god the guy from Iron Man 2? Count me out. Though not that I care much, don't care about Deadpool at all.

Did really like In Bruges though.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

That's completely understandable. He's a love him or hate him character and I absolutely hated him before. I just started reading some of the Marvel Now stuff with trades after reading Uncanny X-Force, and it's the first time I really liked him. Being a humorous character, you need to find humor that appeals to you. I tried to go back, and still struggled to read through his series, unless he was written more serious. Although he may be a tragic character, it was never worth it to wade through all the jokes. Wade through!

Slade Wilson was more my guy.

 

[pturtle]

Rockwell as Wade is genius, I'd love to see that also.

So which time line are you guys more invested in? I'm more excited for the past X-Men men, being that Michael Fassbender's Magneto is my favorite character of the movie franchise.

 

[pturtle]

I really like both timelines, but I’m more interested in the past. I hope this is a nice farewell to the older cast, and gives an end to their story to make up for X3, but the FC cast need more of their own films.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

When I said "current," I meant past. I thought the first class group were the current X-Men and the older cast was the future. Is the "future" cast the current X-Men then?

I have no clue

I knew you were talking about the FC cast because you brought up Fassbender.

I would love to see Rockwell in another comic film role, but I don't think Deadpool is a great fit for him. He's hilarious, but doesn't have a Deadpool-style sense of humor. Deadpool humor is sort of like Family Guy humor IMO.

 

[Silrian]

I'm half invested in the past (Charles, Magneto) half invested in the future (Wolverine and co fighting sentinels).

I'm a big Deathstroke fan, so that probably adds to my dislike of Deadpool, as he's a parody on Slade Wilson, of origin anyway. I do always like the Deadpool cosplay trolls. But he's just not the type of character I like.

Also I just saw AMS2, holy freaking christ what an epically schizophrenic clusterfail. I LOVE Garfield's spider-man and this film nearly made me cry of how bizarre it's tonal inconsistency is.
If people had trouble with Man of Steel's last scenes tonally? **** me man, this is the weirdest blockbuster movie I've seen in a long while. ****ing disappointed. Like, crying over how painfully wasted Garfield and DeHaan are in this franchise. The Batman & Robin comparisons are not beyond ridiculous imo.

I honestly feel a bit better about DoFP now.

 

[karamazov80]

Tone-wise, I agree that ASM2 was all over the place. But I felt MOS had a pretty consistent tone, just not one I ever wanted to see in a Superman movie. So, my criticisms of those films are a bit different. I think ASM could have better succeeded if it stuck to one approach and simplified the story a bit. I don't think Superman could have succeeded for me with that creative team in place.

How does it make you feel knowing the guy that's been producing these Spider-man films is in the process of producing the Mass Effect film franchise lol I really dislike Avi Arad, I really do. Producers should hire directors they trust, not that they want to control, that's one of the things I like about the newer x-men movies, the directors seen to have a bit more control of the films than they have before. Marvel also seems to trust their directors alot more than they did in the beginning.

 

[Silrian]

No what I meant was half of AMS's tone was like Man of Steel and half was like the 90s TAS in overdrive. It's bizarre, this movie fried my brain man.

Man of Steel to me was perfect in its tone for Superman for me, it was everything I hoped for and more, but it's fine to disagree about that.

The point is more that ASM is an unbelievably awkward mess. I've not been this disappointed since X-men 3.

Mass Effect is one of my most cherished franchises ever (see avatar) and I don't even want a mass effect film. Especially NOT one about Shepard.

I saw the Avatar and name, I love mass effect too but I think a Mass Effect film could be bad ass, I'd personally like a trilogy about the games with Shepard as we all already know it'll work. I've played the trilogy twice and it too is one of my favorite stories, in any medium, period. But I know Avi will most likely **** it up with his constant tinkering and demands, he'll do something stupid and ruin the whole thing. Thank god he doesn't have his hands in the other marvel films like he used to.
