I've created the ultimate bad ass

Missing the Iron Man armor. Fail.

 

[jye4ever]

Would Iron Man boots suffice.

 

[jye4ever]

Moar bad asses:

 

[jye4ever]

Magneto should've went out like this

 

[Niltusk]

Drinking tonight, buddy?

 

[jye4ever]

ummmm

Missing the Iron Man armor. Fail.

that's for the peepee.

I saw it again today. Just as spectacular as the first time!

It was a very good film, by far the best X-men movie, I'm so glad they did the soft-reboot, it even removed my mild dislike for Jackman Wolverine, he nailed the character once again, I wonder if now we'll get the new movies from where the 80's cartoon starts, you know, Jubilee, flying Rogue, spandex Wolverine

 

[batfan08]

The fact that you can say you disliked Jackman's Wolverine may put a damper on our "best friends" status. That man and his interpretation of the character are wonderful. I just hope he sticks with it. We know there's Apocalypse and a new Wolverine coming, but, if he could make it to 2020, that'd be twenty years, and that would be awesome.

it's no secret I thought Jackman was not nearly the best Wolverine we can get, but after this movie, he rendered my qualms to a couple trivial complaints about his physique, no longer important, he was as Wolverine as they come in this one, which he hadn't been ever since X2, probably not because of his fault, so don't worry, we're back on track.

All I need now is his suit, if we get the suit, I will the 1st one to admit Jackman is to Wolverine what Reeve is to Superman.

I just hope from now on they get the rest of the characters they got wrong, right, which are only a couple to be fair.

 

[batfan08]

He does need that suit. Him tearing into those mobsters in the hotel room; I was like "that's what's been missing all these years."

I just got back from seeing this and I was really looking forward to it considering how many great reviews I heard about it. While I enjoyed it, I wasn't blown away, in fact it was more like a breezy day. Afterward I felt like I just saw Pam Ewing wake up from her dream and everything but 1st class was wiped away. Maybe because I have been an X-Men fan for too long and I have never forgiven them from deviating so far from the source material but this seemed like a Singer ego play. He essentially wiped the slate clean of those pesky continuity problems, except of course those which he created himself, in other words its his toy and he will decide how its done.
I enjoyed McAvoy and Fassbender, and the scenes with Jennifer Lawrence struggling with her feelings for the two of them were some of the best parts of the film. Jackman did a great job but he was definitely "Un-Wolverine" like in some scenes. Every time he gave Xavier the "believe in yourself" speech, I kept thinking of myself that was Cyclops. Scott was always the true believer in Xavier's dream, yet here we go again filling every void with Wolverine.
The Quicksilver scenes were very cool, very funny and didn't really fit with with the dire theme of the film.
The coolest thing was seeing Magneto really cut loose with his powers and showing the scope of an Omega level mutant.
I had a hard time seeing the connection between Mystique's biology and how they mimicked it into robotics.
There was nothing that surprised me or caught me off guard, although I was happy to see that Xavier giving up his powers had more to do with dealing with pain and loss rather than just wanting to walk.
I would have liked to have seen more seventies style dialog with some groovies and "diggin" it type phrases. I think Austin Powers oddly enough gave a very convincing portrayal of those time periods, and for such an integral part of the story it didn't really feel like a different time (One which I actually remember btw), more like a some place else rather than some when else. Also as I watched I saw many examples of vehicles that had been used before in other media, such as the T-1000 adapting, the everyone being wiped out just before it is reset (Back To The Future) and a few minor elements that seemed rather familiar.
I hope as they move forward the films have a more X-Men feel to them. I am curious to see where the future goes and which Xavier and Magneto we see, older or younger.
I'm glad to see so many enjoyed it so well. I wish it had been that kind of home run for me.

There's two big continuity issues that still bug me (Xavier being alive, which has never been really addressed, and Mystique being in the earlier X-men films, although she should have been captured in 1973), but overall I really enjoyed the flick and am impressed with where it's heading. Bring on Apocalypse!

Yeah wtf with Mystique? Then again as a-dev said, she could have escaped. But I agree, kind of cheesy.

Not too sure about Xavier...

 

[a-dev]

I'm not sure why it's so implausible that mystique could have escaped captivity at some point between 1973 and the timeframe of the original films....

 

[FSLAR]

It's not, but I wish we could have heard how she escaped or something.

To me it goes beyond being captured. Tyrion said he needed spinal fluid, brain tissue, etc. That, plus the shots of the autopsies on "Angel" and Azazel give you the impression that they aren't just going to do tests, but perform experimentation akin to a laboratory rat. If she was ever released somehow, she would probably be a mutilated vegetable at best.

Yep, after I saw the film I commented on how familiar so many of the elements were. Heck even the last Twilight movie had tons of people dying right before history was reset for the better.

It did seem a bit contrived that Mystique was chosen by the writers as the integral ingredient for the Sentinels absorbing of powers, especially when there's already an established mutant (Rogue) who does that very thing, but hey, I'd rather see Jennifer Lawrence running around than Anna Paquin so I can't really complain.
