Imagine X-Men never existed before and this came out of a vacuum


It would be an at turns, at least adequately, fun, funny, moving, cool Road/Adventure/Action/Dramedy.

That's how I actually looked at the film (and I'm not a comic book nerd or whatever), so I really liked it. I can take or leave all the other shoe-horned in X-Men, they don't matter.

No. The only reason why this movie exists is because of the previous X-Men movies. The only reason why we care about Wolverine and Stryker is because of what previous movies have established. So it would work even worse on its own.

^That’s a good point. Nevertheless, while this is neither a great X-Men or Wolverine film, I kinda appreciate it for what it is. Great premise, underwhelming execution, solidly engaging in its own right.
