First one is more consistent but rather pedestrian. It’s good but it just feels like a test run. First Class has some stuff that is leagues above anything in X1 but also induced way more cringes.
X2 still the best.
I just watched the movie. Damn that was good.
It was way better than the first two, soviet. You have to be smoking something to think the first two did better. This had a better story and screen play by far, we just didn’t have the wolverines (outside cameo), or cyclops.
I think that is a bit accurate. How did Cyke find him? Wasn’t he like entombed or something? They didn’t show the outcome (him bursting his guts all over the place)… i don’t know, i think what happened to him fits the cannon, from what i recall.
Just saw it too. Definitely the best xmen movie yet; how could you like 1 over first class?
x1
Spoiler
You know what happens when a toad is struck by lightning?
When I saw the scene in the theater, I threw my arms up in the air and said “Yep, that FUCKING figures!” after that, I was pissed off for the rest of the movie. I would have left if I wasn’t the ride for my crew.
IMO, there really hasn’t been a quality X-Men movie. X1 was too constrained by a weak budget, X2 was the Storm and Wolverine show with a forgettable plot (but an excellent opening scene), X3 = Mortal Kombat: Annialation, and XO:W had a shitton of plotholes and the well documented Deadpool/WeaponXI issue.
Thats why X-Men Origins: Wolverine is my favorite X movie. It has issues like all the other ones, but at least its funny as hell.
X-men first class was definitely better than the 4 Wolverine movies. The only thing great about Wolverine 2 was that night crawler was in it, with a nice intro as well.
My friends and I were sayin the same thing. It looked like Darwin was confused about why he was the focus too. Now that I think about it, he just looked confused in general, even in death. I dunno man, feels like a crooked option select. Either he’s a mutant and he’s hated or he’s black…and he dies, lol
The first two were a slap in the face to fans too.
I read that when they either reboot or continue the X-Men movies, they want to do either Age of Apocalypse or End of Days…
First two movies were good…story and canon were shit, but they used the good mutants, rather than the lame ones from first class. X2 FC Wolverine X1 then X3 in that order
Darwin doesn’t die.
And whose face did you WANT them to pan to after Bacon says “Slavery”, the ginger? The angry Hot Topic white boy? Would they be looking pissed off? How would that even make sense? Would it have been better if Shaw says “Slavery” and it cuts to Hank McCoy with a smug, “white power” smile on his face?
^_-;
Was honestly too busy paying attention to the Erik x Charles undertones in this movie to give a shit about how much this may aswell have been glorified fanfiction due to so many inaccuracies (IE why the fuck are Azazel and Riptide in the Hellfire club and why oh why oh WHY is the First Class lineup entirely skewed?)
Oh where did it say that the movies have to follow the 616 continuity?
Yeah shut the fuck up.
Saw the movie, thought it was the shit. Erik Lensherr was quite the Basterd (lame joke, but it’s true) and I’ll be damned if it didn’t have the best cameo ever. The continuity issues bugged the crap out of me but despite that, the movie was still damn good. I was surprised at how much stuff they managed to squeeze into the film and yet it still flowed smoothly.
Oh you… :lol:
Probably when they called it X-Men. Should we make Superman and have him from the Moon perhaps? Or Lex Luthor is Superman’s nephew? Or niece? I can allow MINOR changes, like Spidey having organic webthrowers rather than home made (still upset about that though). But doing shit like changing the Hulk’s origin, or making people’s brothers their fathers, is just stupid. Hell, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the whole “Emma Frost was a kid in the last movie set in the future, but an adult in this one set in the past” bullshit.
I wouldn’t say the changes to Canon were movie killing in First Class, but they definitely left me with a bad taste in my mouth. If movie execs don’t like a characters origin or history, then don’t fucking make a movie about them. Look how poorly it’s worked out EVERY TIME THEY DO IT
Thats cause the Wolverine movie came across as standalone. I think even Fox knows they fucked up on that. But them fucking up Hulks origins is where i have to disagree. In Ang Lee’s Hulk he did get hit with radiation. Yeah it might not have been in a desert but he got hit by it regardless. The second movie took a page from the tv series and the Ultimate line in that, he became the hulk through the super soldier serum.
Hulk, to me, will always be born of the fact he saved another human being from a gamma bomb. To me, it made it seem like something that couldn’t be replicated again, and gave me that whole “Hulk is a raging bomb” vibe. Most people I’ve talked to found that to be one of the worst parts of the movie (aside from the unintelligable ending, random dad, gamma dogs, and horrible psychological aspects).
And if Fox is going to make X-Men movies and spinoffs, it’s up to them to keep up with whats going on in all of them, so I don’t have to sit through movies where the story from a previous movie, changes.
Hell, they’ve already given Nightcrawler two different fucking dad’s, and Mystique’s age fluctuates. No excuse for that
Wouldn’t Omega Red be more of a Wolverine villain (even though they’re likely going to do Silver Samurai in the sequel)???
And Psylocke was in X3, but we’ll see how that goes
Needs Moar Omega Red and Psylocke.
I saw it this weekend, and throughly enjoyed it.
I know there’s somethings in this film that negates the Wolverine and third X-men film, but I’m having trouble remembering what they were exactly. Was one Emma Frost simply being in this film? Hmmmm~
How do you know Darwin doesn’t die? His death looked as definitive as it gets, and if he did come back it would underscore their whole motivation for seriously banding together in the first place.
And they could’ve, you know, not panned the camera to anyone and just showed the whole X-men standing together like they did before saying “SLAAAAAVERY”. It’s not like it was an impacting line that changed the course of the film other than the random lulz factor of it all.
Because Darwins ability is to NOT DIE. He explodes? Thats his way of adapting. Turns to energy? Adapting. Falls of a building and gets flattened? Adapting.
Read his wiki please. He is an omega level mutant for a reason. Hell, that is exactly why he was the mutant who “died”.
He did the same in comics, and came back as an energy being
We need to change thread title to Darwin Lives
