X-Men: Days of Future Past

[ironwez20]

No a marvel movie with ALL the characters in it will be the best movie ever made. Wolverine, spider man, Dr doom as the main villain and of course the FF. Thing vs hulk? Wolverine vs hulk! A movie were all the marvel characters share the same universe and make certain appearances would cross 1 billion easily.

 

[Josette]

Its damn close.

You're damn right.

Yet IM3 did it with only Iron Man, volcano people and a fakeassed Mandarin.

It was hard for me to care about the characters from the future part of the movie because they're just there to never exist.

What good will adding Rogue's scene do, she's just going to disappear anyways.

 

[pturtle]

She’ll give you that action you’ve been dying for, and Wolverine can tell everyone how awesome her moves were.

 

[jye4ever]

I bet she will look cool flying around, I would want to see her kiss final move.

Prego Storm was such a waste.

I’m big on great performances, and there really wasn’t any in the movie, granted all the actors gave their best performances of these characters so far compared to the rest of the films they’ve been in but Chris Evans just isn’t Captain America to me, he has the look, but he doesn’t have that all-American authoritative stereotypical leading man voice that I always associated with Cap. Scarlet is absolutely horrible as Black Widow in my opinion, I give the Russo Bros credit for finally making her more than a one dimensional character but her character still had a decent amount of badass cliche dialogue that usually takes me out of the movie, similar to Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique in DOFP actually, they come off as trying to hard be tough more than actually being tough. Samuel Jackson was serviceable enough as Nick Fury, and I thought the Falcon was written better than Anthony Mackie performed him. Winter Soldier was a cool villain, but thats really it, Marvel still needs work on developing more interesting villains.

Can't even begin to describe how strongly I disagree with all of this. I think Chris Evans has proven that he IS Captain America. I enjoyed Scarlett as Black Widow in Avengers but she was even better in TWS for me. I buy into her 100%. She's made Black Widow one of my very favorite characters in the MCU. TWS was SLJ's best turn as Fury. And Anthony Mackie MADE Sam Wilson. He had such likability and charisma. Sebastian Stan's acting with his eyes alone in the few scenes he has..... Just don't get how anyone can knock these performances.

And Winter Soldier wasn't the villain. In fact, TWS was one of Marvel's best in terms of villains. There was no one bad guy to stop, but a corrupted system.

Agreed. I didn't care about any of them in the future. Magneto and Xavier were the only characters that really kept my attention in the future scenes, to be honest.

I want to see Rogue's part, but then Rogue was my favorite when I watched the first movie back when it came out. I was so frustrated with how her part seemed to shrink in each film and they ruined her in X3. But yeah, I'm sure she'll get next to nothing in future movies.....

By "action," you mean a love triangle between her, Bobby and Erik? I'm sure the masses are impatiently waiting!

Not worth it. He clearly didn't get it, discounting it as a flashy superhero movie with grandiose action sequences but no deep plot, in favor of pedestaling a movie that was nothing but flashy superhero action sequences and a superfluous plot.

Wait, what?

Old Magneto and Rogue?

 

[jye4ever]

All he has to do is wrap his junk in metal, instant Mag-agra.

Looks like the extended cut will get a Summer release. www.denofgeek.us

Sweetness!

I haven't seen that sentiment expressed. But it is probably the best Marvel comic movie yet. Certainly better than any of the Marvel Studios stuff.

It is extremely high up on the list to me, very close to The Dark Knight.

I don't care too much for the Marvel Cinematic Universe comedic tone, it takes a lot away when it feels very forced. Winter Solider is the best Marvel Studios movie I've seen since the first Captain America. I enjoyed the Asgardian story in Thor: The Dark World a lot, human side story was horrible. Iron Man 3 was the worst I've seen. Avengers was decently meh.

For Fox, I loved Amazing Spider-Man 2. Unbelievable. It felt like I was watching Steve Ditko's Spider-Man come to life, it was fantastic. Can't wait for the Sinister Six and Amazing Spider-Man 3. Fantastic Four still has the best team scenes I've seen in a comic book inspired movie though.

I really don’t see how Chris Evans has proven he’s Cap, it seems that whenever a Marvel movie comes out these actors are hyped up as the perfect actor for the job. The movie was good, and his performance was solid, but nothing about his performance made me feel like he’s the perfect actor the play Cap.

I said, all of the actors were adequate, but none of them gave Oscar worthy performances. Their performances were okay for a MCU film, thats it. Can you really compare Scarlet and Chris Evan’s performance to Mcavoy and Fassbender?

The only actor that really gave an incredible performance in a MCU film is Ben Kingsley in my opinion, unfortunately he just happened to be playing one of the worst characters in possibly the worst MCU film to date.

Slightly off topic, but how would you compare Sebastian Stan’s “eye acting” to Tom Hardy’s Bane performance?

Not worth it. He clearly didn't get it, discounting it as a flashy superhero movie with grandiose action sequences but no deep plot, in favor of pedestaling a movie that was nothing but flashy superhero action sequences and a superfluous plot.

Yup, whenever someone thinks a MCU film is okay they obviously didn’t understand the underlying genius of the film.

The movie was good in my opinion, but not great, certainly not better than DOFP, X2, or FC.

I'm not meaning to insult your intelligence, but dude, even the liberal media was able to see the underlying Libertarian themes in the plot of TWS.

What? That Avengers wouldn't beat Avatar? They were right, it didn't...in fact, it's in third place behind Titanic and Avatar

 

[pturtle]

I was being sarcastic, and that proves my point

Would you rate DOFP above any MCU film Nam?

All this Cap 2 knocking seems to be the culmination of all the praise it received in the past 5 months. I remember the same thing happened with The Dark Knight. A few peeps got tired of hearing how great it was and went into the "it's not that great" phase.

I liked all the comic book movies this year except ASM 2. Winter Soldier was fantastic, Days of Future Past was great and Guardians of the Galaxy was a really superb, "feel good" cap to the summer movie season. I really had no complaints this year. I dunno why you twerps are putting these things against each other. This year actually had a really great run compared to last year's **** fest.

Oh, and some of you need to get off of Mcavoy and Fassbender's dicks. While I wouldn't say they were simply "serviceable" (I though they were great personally), I wouldn't say they made me cry or were "Oscar" material. You know what they did? They brought Charles and Xavier to life, much like Stewart and Mckellen have done. I saw Professor X and Magneto on screen and they did a great job at portraying their characters (just like Hugh Jackman as Logan and most of the cast in these X-Men movies). You know who else did a great job of portraying their character? Chris Evans. Steve Rogers isn't a shakespearian caricature that's channeling Martin Luther King and Malcolm X like Xavier and Magneto. Cap is a good, kind hearted man that is much more simple with his ideals. Evans oozes good, principles, leadership and conviction.

Is he as good an actor as the other two? I don't know, but he is JUST as good if not better at portraying Cap as they are with their respective roles. This movie wasn't about Cap being trapped in a plastic prison or crying up stairs after taking his needle, it was Cap being in the center of this huge conspiracy and having to deal with it without compromising his ideals. The moments with the Bucky flashbacks, Falcon, the old military training post flashback, the Smithsonian museum scene with the kid, old Peggy, or letting Winter Soldier clobber him to the point of death was just as sentimental and moving as "I don't want your fuuuuutcha!!" or "you let them die Charles! You were supposed to protect them!". Chris Evans as Captain America is much more subtle, why? Because that's the character.

 

[thenammagazine]

A few actually. I could tell you, but as Jye will attest, you and the others'd only ignore the revelation once this type of discussion came around again.

My stance on TWS has remained the same since my first viewing, it’s a solid superhero flick, but the fact that you don’t even know whether Chris Evans is as good an actor as Mcavoy and Fassbender tells me you haven’t seen enough of their films.

I know its cool to hate the new and praise the old, but Mcavoy and Fassbender have carried the last two X-Men films, one without Wolverine, and even one with Wolverine, they do such a good job that Hugh Jackman can’t even overshadow them, the same can’t be said for Stewart and Mckellen. I like Stewart and Mckellen, but if you wanted to do a head to head best scenes, the Mcavoy/Fassbender combo would destroy them.

I can admit that TWS has better action compared to DOFP, but I can’t believe we’re arguing about which film had the better performances.

The moments with the Bucky flashbacks, Falcon, the old military training post flashback, the Smithsonian museum scene with the kid, old Peggy, or letting Winter Soldier clobber him to the point of death was just as sentimental and moving as "I don't want your fuuuuutcha!!" or "you let them die Charles! You were supposed to protect them!". Chris Evans as Captain America is much more subtle, why? Because that's the character.

Not even close bruh, both of those X-Men scenes smoke those cliched TWS scenes you described.
