Aww, it's sad that that's the general consensus so far.

It's an okay popcorn flick but not a good X-Men flick.

None of them, in retrospect, have been 'good' X-Men flicks.

Two was good.

TWo was only good because it had Nightcrawler in it. Anything with Nightcrawler is bound to be good. *sighs*

oh, was it really that bad?

Depends on why you're going to see it.

Aw man, don't say that! I'm gonna go see it tonight!

Awww, that sucks. I've been hearing that a lot.

Honestly, I'm going for Gambit- he's always been my favourite ever since I was little.

I second that.

Question is, is Gambit enough to justify sitting through a potential shitty movie? (The previous Xmen movies left a bad taste in my mouth; otherwise this'll be a no brainer, because GAMBIT).

Doesn't look like he's in it for a huge amount of time either. I don't know- I might just wait around for some more feedback on it. =\ Dilemmas.

I think I'll be safe and wait this one out. I know the last thing I need right now is to be pissed the fuck off on wasting 5 bucks seeing it.

*sticks fingers in ears* LALALALA I'M NOT LISTENING!

Just got back from seeing it. It was okay. Not as good as the other X-Men movies, but not bad.

*sigh* Yeah, my friend told me it wasn't that good. I'll probably rent it or something when it comes out, I guess.

):

I enjoyed it.

The thing about this movie that I think a lot of people are missing is that being "good" is not the point. It's about seeing shit getting fucked up by Wolverine (amongst others). It doesn't even attempt to look like anything else in the trailers.

As my girlfriend said to someone: "Seriously, if I want a deep and thought-provoking narrative I'll go get myself a deep and thought-provoking narrative. If I want to see exploding shit and Hugh Jackman's burnished, rippling chest, then I'll watch Wolverine."

Having properly-aimed expectations makes life very, very sweet. :)

Oh it was very good for exploding shit and Hugh Jackman's rippling chest of naughty thoughts. And it was a good popcorn flick, I'll give it that.

The X-Men fan in me just sort of kept on screaming and bashing its head against the wall and giving itself a concussion.

My roommate went for watching Hugh Jackman for several hours and was thoroughly pleased.

You just have to keep telling yourself, this isn't the 616 Wolverine; this is a whole new part of the Marvel multiverse.

I did after a while.

SHHH!! SPOILERS!!

Ack! Sorry!

Deadpool Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Fuck you, Fox

Yeah, that's what I heard. I'll wait for it to hit dvd.

Now, Star Trek and Terminator Salvation, those are theatre-worthy movies!

I've only seen the commercials (movies cost money, which I have none, so I only watch the commercials on tv). I need my geek points back. Who is the guy with the sword? I can pick out everyone else, but I can't, for the life of me, remember any X-man character using a sword.

Deadpool.

*sputters* Wait, isn't he supposed to wear a mask?

My faith in the Marvel universe if failing.

In the beginning of the movie it was Wade Wilson before becoming Deadpool. At the end of the movie it was Deadpool.

Though, no one in the movies ever seems to wear a mask.
