Wow. Movie Bob is never going to forgive the first couple of X-Men movies for the "yellow spandex" snub, is he...?
I guess I just have to write that off as the same misguided comic-fan dementia that thinks shoehorning Robin into the new Batman movies would be a good idea.
(Sorry, Bob, just have to give you a little shit about those.)
At least in the mod-sixties setting, the bright colors make a bit more sense.
I'm glad to hear that it's good; I'll look forward to giving it a go.
Tell you what. Go watch Wolverine again. Now come back and tell me why Wolverine and Gambit have that long stupid fight. Actually, tell me why Gambit is in the movie at all.
It's no wonder it was responsible for one of the better movie video games; the movie itself is paced like a video game, in all the worst senses of the word. It pretty literally assumes the audience will get bored if there isn't a "boss fight" every twenty minutes or so. What remains between the action sequences is mediocre fanservice and feeble, stilted attempts to shoehorn the film into the existing continuity.
If you can enjoy it for that, hey, I don't hold it against you. But please, don't pretend for one single instant that most or even the majority of the dislike for the thing is limited to some kind of mindless Deadpool fanboyism.

Ah HA HA HA HA!... No.cursedseishi said:Aye, and for what it's worth Wolverine was decent as well. I enjoyed it, it inspired one of the few decent movie-based videogames, and I bet the only reason so many people were freaking out and blasting Wolverine was because of Deadpool.
