05.22.14 | this is not for film school students, the serious ones anyway |
Typhoner
05.22.14 | yeah, I was stoked because of all the trailers (which all looked great) and after because of the reviews. I'd say it's as good as First Class (which I loved), with the bonus that you get some favorites from the first trilogy. |

05.22.14 | Good to hear Typh - very good. I have waited a long time for this movie and I hope it won't disappoint me. I loved First Class. Fassbender & McAvoy as Magneto & Professor X were fantastic in it.
Might see it tonight! Also, thumbs up for what's on your list ;) |

05.22.14 | j law rules. never watch any hunger games flicks so that helps me not have any fatigue |
Typhoner
05.22.14 | Lawrence is a great actress and a good Raven/Mystique. The new movie is kinda centered around her, although she doesn't have the most screen time |
Emyay
05.22.14 | sounds cool. might see it in the theater if friends are down. otherwise will definitely check one way or another |

05.23.14 | Not even that much of an X-Men fan but this fucking ruled |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | Yea I don't like xmen at all but First Class was one of my favorite superhero movies. Can't wait for
this. |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | The 2000's trilogy was boring as hell sorry. I'm more of a batman/Ironman guy. |
Rowan5215
05.23.14 | I always thought Wolverine was a fucking arsehole and one of the most incredibly unbearable superheroes of all time
But Fassbender/McAvoy cannot be ignored so I watched this and First Class and they both ruled |
Rowan5215
05.23.14 | Batman [2] hard |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | And Jennifer fucking Lawrence amiright? |
Rowan5215
05.23.14 | Jennifer Lawrence and Hugh Jackman are both talented but way way overrated
Fucking Patrick Stewart is where its at, bitches |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | Ehh I was referring to her hotness haha but in terms of actresses she's one of the best out there right now. Fassbender was amazing in First Class. |
Rowan5215
05.23.14 | Fassbender and McAvoy both have their talents utilised 10x better in this than they did in First Class so get excited |

05.23.14 | X2 is possibly the greatest comic book movie ever made |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | Awesome! |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | @Talons Disagreed hard man. Do you even Spider man 2, Dark Knight, Iron Man or Avengers? |
NordicMindset
05.23.14 | seems awesome |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | I know X1 and X2 got stellar reviews but I just don't see what was so great about them. |
ShadowRemains
05.23.14 | haven't been a huge fan of the previous x-men flicks but this interests me |
TalonsOfFire
05.23.14 | Spider man 2 and dark knight are probably better not so sure about the others even though I love them |
mxbrady
05.23.14 | saw this last night, it was amazing. best of the X-Men movies imo |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.23.14 | ok just to clear everything up for those saying the original trilogy/the franchise is the best or worst thing ever you are all objectively wrong and here is the truth
the original trilogy kinda sucked. aside from some great actor choices (that balanced out all the awful onces) the movies were a horrible flop. Two was the best of the 3. The whole movie franchise has suffered from Americanizing their characters and also trying to be too dark. For instance, turning iceman into a moody prettyboy (fuck this so hard) and then also making literally all the foreign characters not foreign at all and not even have accents. But aside from all the HUGE casting fails (iceman im looking at you mother fucker, same with jean grae and cyclops and arguably rogue although ive come to find anna paquins version kind of endearing) they have also cast some actors where no one else could fit (both old and young xaviers and magnetos, wolverine, kitty pryde, both beasts, jlaw as mystique, whoever the fuck that kid who played quicksilver was, nightcrawler)
ok carrying on so the original trilogy on its own sucked dick, and origins wolverine sucked all the dicks ever to escape from anyones trousers and the wolverine was a mix of fun and nah but first class was amazing (minus how much i hate accentless emma frost)
and this new movie, days of future past is the movie that tied all these shitty to average to amazing movies together in such a way that it makes all of the films worth while even the worst of them.
best x-men movie by far, they pulled the trilogy together in the most satisfying way ever and all the cameos from the characters from like every movie in the franchise as well as the references and flashbacks to other films were executed amazingly. every one who was hating on quicksilvers "costume" can fuck off that was so perfect for his character and the overall mood of the movie (so many 70's jokes). they also had a lot more comic relief which was great. yeah really stoked on this ones, i loved the new spider-man movie but this blew it out of the water ten fold 5/5 would watch again super stoked for APOCALYPSE (if u watched the post credits scene) |

05.23.14 | Jesus calm down lol |

05.23.14 | i forgot to throw ryan reynolds as super hyper deadpool (wtf) in with the great casting choices (lol) |
Rowan5215
05.23.14 | That one Quicksilver scene was fucking brilliant agreed, best thing I've seen this year
Who the fuck is accentless Emma Frost though lol |
ShadowRemains
05.23.14 | damn |

05.23.14 | @rowan january jones. emma frost, the white queen.
she's british as fuck in the comics and also has a way sharper attitude |

05.23.14 | comic book movies smh |
ShadowRemains
05.23.14 | lol |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.23.14 | comic book movies are practically the only thing ill go see in theatres with some exceptions on both ends (ill go see new movies from my favourite directors and i wont go see fucking thor movies) |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | If I'm gonna be perfectly honest, I just saw the giant paragraphs and wrote that, don't know what came over me, but REALLY sorry about that. Didn't been to be a complete asshole. Sorry again. |
Rowan5215
05.23.14 | Ah riiight, I thought you were saying one of the actors was named Emma Frost and I got really confused
Yeah she was a very boring character in First Class but KEVIN BACON made up for it because he's motherfucking KEVIN BACON |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.23.14 | its ok its natural to assume typing more than a paragraph on a computer means mad |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.23.14 | haha kevin bacon was a great sebastian shaw |
Rowan5215
05.23.14 | Sebastian Shaw's death scene was probably one of the greatest |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | Either way, still sorry. We're both here to have some nice conversation so shouldn't have said that :)
carry on
I thought Kevin Bacon was a pretty boring villain but every other actor for compelling as hell for the
most part. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.23.14 | have to admit i was a little disappointed with peter dinklage's boliver trask though but probably just because his latest performances on game of thrones have pretty much blown all tv acting ever out of the water |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | Yea his performance at the trial was stunning |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.23.14 | game of thrones be killin it these days. i think every episode needs melisandres tits tho |
Rowan5215
05.23.14 | Trask was great but he was really only in the movie as cannon fodder |
Mongi123
05.23.14 | I forgot he was in the latest xmen. Now I have to see this immediately. |
Rowan5215
05.23.14 | He's one of the more minor elements that made me enjoy it |

read a decent article the other day about the over-saturation of comic book movies and tv
if you ask me that bubble popped like 5 years ago
that trend needs to die but it won't because there's a small-but-incredibly-devoted fanbase that'll eat up whatever Marvel etc. put out without question |
MyNameIsPencil
05.24.14 | I just like how Singer nullifies X-Men: The Last Stand and the end |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.24.14 | @eric just because you dont like it doesnt mean it needs to die. i didnt read it yet but i will later but just off what you said, "over-saturation" seems stupid. who cares how many they make? you don't have to go see them. so they need to die so the people who want to see them can't? That seems silly to me. Granted they make some shitty movies. Lots of them. As an avid comic fan i can attest to that. And you're wrong about the fanbase on two levels, first they are not small. Marvels fan base is massive. Secondly, they won't eat it up. In fact most comic fans are the biggest haters in the world when it comes to new comics and tv series and film. Its actually despicable how negative they can be. Its the people who aren't actual comic fans but more casual fans who eat it up because they don't have anything to base it off. For instance any one who likes the original spider-man trilogy or iron man 3 probably has never read an iron man or spiderman comic in their life or even watched the golden 90's animated series of both (well, season 2 of iron man the animated series, the first season was crap). But yeah you should reconsider some of your facts there man because it seems like you have a pretty skewed perception of the marvel/dc community.
Also, on a smaller level, if i'm strictly speaking for myself, i don't go all fap happy and go spend all my money on everything dc or marvel releases, just what i want to see. that being said im not upset that they release the films i dont want to see, who cares, just don't go see them ffs! i didn't go see either thor movie, the green lantern movie, the second captain america movie, iron man 3, the wolverine, first class, or spiderman 3 in theatres. and im not gonna be watching agent carter just because its a new marvel show cuz it looks fucking stupid. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.24.14 | actually come to think of it there are literally 2 comic book movies that have ever gotten extremely high ratings so yeah i call bullshit on the eating it all up factor |
Typhoner
05.24.14 | Basically agree with what Pots said. The original trilogy had great points and some serious flaws but as a whole the X-Men movies are so lovable because some parts are just so great. And then with First Class they basically nailed it with great casting and a movie that was just so much fun. DOFP continues with the best characters from First Class, adds some of the best from the original series (Old Magneto and Xavier, Kitty, even Wolverine I like a lot in this one) and then they drop some nice extras (Quicksilver was great) and tied everything up. Although as a stand alone movie I still prefer First Class I think, DOFP shows they're on the right track with the movie franchise (and the main "young" cast return in Apocalypse, so that's promising). |
