And aren't really even X-Men films.
I didn't notice the SlashFilm review at first. Now I just saw that it's David Chen. That dude loving a superhero movie says a lot to me since he usually is downplaying my hype for movies.
Him considering it as a favorite superhero film moves the needle for me and I absolutely am pumped to see this.

This is video game forum, Bobby you can't keep people from thinking/saying things about comparing this to the TLOU.
p much
Days of Future Past, Deadpool now Logan. X-men has some killer films within its ranks, the best of Marvel, if only they could keep these films consistently great it could be as huge. Still, i much prefer the direction of these films as opposed to Marvel Studios. Hoping for big numbers.

I'm not trying to keep people from making the comparison, I'm trying to find out how the comparison is being made.
Maybe someone's got a good argument for it, I dunno. I'm not any sort of expert here.
I've played (to completion) The Last of Us, and just saw this film. I can assure you they have a little more in common than that, definitely more than 'nothing'. It's still it's own thing though, so rest assured there no spoilers in my saying that.
It's a great film in any case, and great sound design at key moments.

To that, aren't directed by Brian Singer
X2 and DoFP are better than Deadpool in my opinion.

Logan v Caesar: Dawn of What the Fuck's Going On?
Deadpool was sheer fanwank when I saw it. I mean, it's an effective fanwank, but as a person with a casual knowledge of comic books, it was never something I deemed to be head over heels for as a movie.
Agreed
Damn it's close to 50 reviews already. Wonder if they'll put up a consensus soon.Well now would you look at that. Top Critics results:

When has this happened before for an R rated action movie, much less a comic book movie? I think I've seen similar reactions to animated films but not live action.
Well Deadpool was stunning. Had no idea I'd enjoy it as much as I did. Super hyped for this, and I've only ever seen one Wolverine movie.

went into stuckmann's review, one of the first thing he said is how brutal it is.

John Wick 2 was in the high 90s for a bit last week. Its review average was never over 8 though.

Fury Road was the most recent, I believe. Granted, that's an unfair comparison, being that it's one of the three best action films ever made.
Days of Future Past had a 91% from all critics with a 7.5 average. Top Critics was a 94% with a 7.7
Not R-Rated, I know, but I think it's the highest rated X-Men movie before this one (so far)

If I've learned anything on the internet about comic book movies is that what professional critics think doesn't matter. What matters is the audience score and that it makes a lot of money and that my close circle of friends liked it.
I agree completely. Definitely a solid film but not anywhere near the levels that people talk about it.

Glad to see this turned out well and that the promo clips aren't just well done misleading trailers.

Make sure the petition has as many typos as humanly possible. It adds to the authenticity.
That's becoming his schtick.

The X-Men Origins pic doesn't sell how buff he got. With The Wolverine onward he focused on cutting down rather than building mass.
As it happens, they're likely to be the two best blockbusters this year.
We've both seen the movie and I've played the game to the end, so I'm curious about your input on how this is so.
Would you mind PMing me why you think that? That way you won't be inhibited by hiding spoilers. Genuinely curious.
I'm sad.
Grew up with the X-Men in the 90s with the cartoon.
Remember being an awkward pre-teen seeing X-Men on the big screen on my first date ever.
Thought Hugh Jackman was so cool, like Clint Eastwood cool.
Saw how much love and passion he put into the character, how much legitimate care and gratitude he had for embodying a comicbook character, even through some misguided and downright awful features. It felt like he wanted nothing more than to do the character justice, where he could have easily just bailed in danger of the franchise harming his long term chances at more prestigious roles.
It's like your favorite player retiring from your favorite sports team. Hopefully he goes out with a championship.

Awesome. Happy for Jackman, he finally has a good wolverine movie.
Also, Bah, it's a Marvel movie, of course the reviews will be good. /s

Can't use that excuse anymore for this one lol
Because some people don't have time to watch 30 minute reviews about a 2 hour film. I like those guys but it's more of a discussion and some people want concise reviews.

Its surprising it took this long to make a superhero flick with a true emotional core outside of Unbreakable. This approach is truly ripe, and here for the taking, legitimizing the genre critically beyond action tropes.
They still have better options.
Like the written ones for example.
People like Jahns and Struckmann have a bad habit of fanboying out and blurt a bunch of vague nothings, be it good or bad reviews.

It's a videogame forum made up mostly of PlayStation fans.
Most haven't seen enough movies to realise The Last of Us was inspired by The Road. They see a gruff bearded man looking after a young girl and automatically think OMG Last of Us!!!
I admit, TLoU was the first thing I thought of when I saw the Logan trailer. But I was aware Logan wasn't inspired by it.

I'm guessing Fox is going to fully invest in the R-rated X-men game so long as this does well at the box office now. It will be interesting to see if Marvel or DC follow suit for smaller budget projects. I mean, you could argue Marvel's Netflix properties are their productions for mature audiences but I feel like we could get some interesting movies out of them too.
