X2 is just leagues above the first movie, and aside from a few cheesy moments, is a great film. Brian Cox is an absolutely fantastic pick for Stryker, loved every second he was on screen. The character interactions are great, but I could go without the whole rogue/bobby relationship sideplot. Action sequences are fantastic, and aside from some goofy wirework from time to time, the film still holds up. I was really able to appreciate the nightcrawler intro far more than I was kid, just really well done and tense all around.
Damn, right! And yes, Bryan Cox is the secret weapon of that movie. He just elevates it anytime he is on screen.
 
Guys i really want to see this but i have nobody to go with. :(

Would you go by yourselves? At morning or night? Not opening weekend? I don't want people to stare at me. Especially girls thinking i'm a loser.
 
Just rewatched Xmen, X2, and First Class this week.

Pretty excited. It's freaking awesome that they're using the same actors from all those years ago (except Mystique but meh it's a different era Mystique so it doesn't bother me as much)

edit: oh and Storm

I might go tomorrow night. Just go if you want to see it dude.
 
What's with the stigma around seeing movies by yourself? You shouldn't be talking to other people during the movie anyway.

... Just go by yourself.

You've watched movies alone before haven't you?

It ends up declining the older you get and the less you worry about total strangers having bullshit opinions about what you do.

One of the more liberating things about being older is you learn to not give as much of a fuck what other people think of the things you enjoy :)
 
Finished Origins.

The CG claws look so so so bad on one of the newer TVs. Those tend to make CG stand out a lot more, and when the CG already stands out (like the claws) it looks weird.

Is there a cut of this movie that's just Lynn Collins (<3 <3) scenes?

The fight scenes are really odd. Like there's this speed up thing that the camera does during sequences that makes the hits and landings look weak. It's particularly noticeable during Logan/Sabretooth and Blob fights. Logan gets hit, SUPERDUPERFASTSPINOMG, hits the floor.

Fucking Liev Schreiber was wasted in this movie.

EDIT: I said this to someone else, go see a movie by yourself. Nothing bad's gonna happen, and odds are, you'll be too fucking hyped to care that you're by yourself.

Unless you're wearing shoes with flashing neon lights, no one cares. I've got my single ticket booked for a Saturday 10am screening.

Forget anyone that wants to be a dick b/c you wanted to see a movie.
 
I've started seeing movies by myself more often lately and I would say I probably enjoy it more that way. I also go during the week at the earliest possible showtime when nobody is there. It's pretty great.
 
My movie ticket for tomorrow came out to $15.25. And it's not even Imax.

Better spent on that than more beer to my brain cells I guess.

I stopped giving a fuck about going alone in college when I had afternoons off that nobody else did and would rather see the movies than complain about not seeing them because I had nobody to go with.

Easier to find seats, too!
 
This film ain't showing in IMAX. But I am seeing it in Vmax.




6 hours...

WTF is vmax? Is it just as good?

Of all things to be socially hesitant of doing going to the movies by yourself isn't that big of a deal. If I saw someone else by their self at a theater I couldn't care longer than a few seconds and I then forget for eternity bc I'll never see that person ever again most likely.

Just want to tell you Sculli good luck. We're all counting on you.

21 hours until my showing starts!

I went by myself 6 hours ago (Thursday Morning Australian time) stuff all people in the cinema, best way to watch it imo.

Just rewatched Xmen, X2, and First Class this week.

I watched the first 3 movies (yeah i'm one of the few that can tolerate the third and actually don't think it's as bad as others say... i admit it's not perfect but it's not a total disaster!) and opted to not watch First Class.

I have mixed feelings about DOFP (movie itself was fantastic!) and where the franchise is going from here - but i guess i'll still go along for the ride.
 
I watched it yesterday

A pity that most of the mutants like storm are reduced to filler characters or just cameo

And no emma frost too, especially after they went though the trouble of showinv magneto breaking her out at the end of first class.

Theres an extra post credit scene too
 
Storm is barely in it? That's a positive. Berry doesn't do the character justice anyway.

For the guy debating to go alone, who cares? Do it. What's the issue? They won't remember a guy who watched a movie alone.

I still mourn Emma not being around anymore. She's one of my favorite Mutants.

Yeah, the less Halle Berry Storm the better. And I'm fine with no Emma if it means no January Jones. She was terrible in First Class.

My wife doesn't want to see it, and my friends really aren't interested. Going by myself. No shame.

Yup, could do without both of them definitely.
That Verge review is brutal. BRUTAL.
Meh, there are so many positive reviews coming through, that one is in the minority.

I remember leaving the theater after X2 and needing to talk about it in my class the next morning. One of my favorite childhood movie experiences. Hopefully this can be nearly as great and inspire hope in the franchise.
 
I'm un-subbing from this thread because I otherwise can't help myself but I'd appreciate a PM ping when Sculli's review is posted.
