THE MEN OF THE X VARIETY AND OTHER FOX BS (spoilers)

[B_Metal]

C-Tates is Gambit?

[BillyG]

Well, maybe my favorite X movie. Need to watch First Class again though. Quicksilver was awesome, who knew?

[B_Metal]

Even with the goofy look? CRAY

[Matt]

Holy fuck was that great. Time is spent on character and motivation, so you honestly care about what's happening on the screen. It's not just a series of action sequences where you passively sit back and watch the special effects: you engage in them, and that really makes this thing rise above the rest.

Quicksilver really must be singled out, though. It's a small role, but he absolutely steals the movie. His 'big moment', set to Jim Croce, is a work of sheer genius craftsmanship from Bryan Singer'. Seriously, Singer threw down the gauntlet big time to Whedon.

[Abraham Smashington]

Great flick. A bit of bloat as I felt a tad antsy in the middle but otherwise great setup for the new generation of x flicks. Loved the Quicksilver scene, he was fucking great. Evan Peters played him perfectly. Wolverine was actually interesting in a movie again, but I'm officially in love with Blink. She is fucking badass.

  Spoiler: spoilers 

loved the retconning of everything, the ending with Cyclops, Jean, and motherfucking GRAMMER BEAST was perfect. And holy fuck were the deaths insane. Iceman losing his head, Colossus getting ripped in half, Bishop exploding? gotdamn. Loved the stuff with Magneto and the stadium, that shit was bonkers. Also loved seeing Apocalypse building the pyramids at the end. neat. Does Wolverine have his metal again at the end? I was a tad confused on that.

Here's the thing: apart from the Wolvie love, I agree with all of Rob's points. But it still felt lacking in some way. It wasn't bad, it wasn't even boring. All I can come back to is that, a handful of scenes aside, it wasn't compelling.

Bonus scene was awesome, but I hope they hand off to someone new fir the next one. I hear Edgar Wright's available?

[Abraham Smashington]

also, because I'm not a huge comic nerd, but was Quicksilver

  Spoiler: spoilers' 

Magneto's kid? And was the baby supposed to be Scarlet Witch?

Even with my love of the things I mentioned, I can agree with that. For me I'm just excited now that they are able to pretty much go in any direction. When in doubt use time travel to undo all past fuckups.

[Ben Thomas]

And in regards to your spoiler question: yes and probably.

It's what was hinted at.

[Abraham Smashington]

Just seemed so weird that he was barely in it.

[Captain Russ]

It's a bit like Nightcrawler.

Hint at the awesome, then never speak of it again.

According to Radar, Fox wants Singer out. Good luck with that.

[BillyG]

I hear Edgar Wright is free.
