Still the best Xmen movie ever made


First class imo is the best men ever made. I wish they hired Vaughn to direct future XMen movies rather than bring Bryan singer back.


Future past was good but it had a typical tired time travel story and plot.

I agree.

I'm ticked they didn't just do a straight reboot. Set it in the early 90's and instead of Cuba, you could have North Korea.

Then we can have an young cast, and try and get it right. One thing I'm sick of in the X-men series is how often people change sides. Angel, he became Death, then back to Angel. Magneto is a good guy, then a bad guy, and then in Future Past he's a good guy again.
Frost was bad, and in the Comics she then "reforms". And when did she have diamond like armour?

Not only to characters change sides, but powers too?

I never read the comics but I read somewhere that that is Emma's secondary mutation. And why do you have a problem with that? Wolverine has claws and super healing ability. And do you want magneto to be a one dimensional character? Do you want him to be a villain that just want to destroy/take over the world? That would be a really really bad comic books adaptation

Absolutely, I wish Vaugn came back for Days of Future past or Apocalypse.

Ha-ha! I threw that *beep* before I walked in the room!

This is my favorite too, I think they show the characters as more than just their powers. That made you care more, I loved the scene where they were showing off their powers and it turned into a crazy party with people literally hanging from the ceiling.

This sucked. Origins: Wolverine was better.

This was garbage.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Days of Future Past was way better than this.

reply

Yeah, Days of Future Past was better.

I agree; First Class, X2 and DOFP are the 3 best films in the series, IMO

Um, this movie kind of sucked.

The screenplay was (mostly) fine but the acting, direction, make-up and special effects were extremely erratic throughout ... the film feels rushed (which it was).

I have no idea how fans can say this was the best in the series. X-Men 2 and DoFP thrash this film, easily.

What are your thoughts on Geekvolution's Superhero Rewind review of this movie? Here's the link...

I didn't think the characters (aside from Mystique) or action were involving in this film and DoFP was pretty similar in its flaws.
