It's fucking bullshit, though. Mendelson's review is reaching like a motherfucker as well.

This film's elevator stops at a basement that is still about 40 floors up from the filmmaking acumen Snyder displayed on Batman v Superman. To say it's almost as bad tells me maybe someone has some unique reasoning as to why Batman v. Superman failed them that I'm not privy to, because there's no comparison to be made between what Singer did on this film, even in its worst moments, to what Snyder did with that one.

Does this mean BvS is gonna be the new hyperbolic benchmark when reviewing how bad a new superhero movie is?

And here I thought that honor would go to Fant4stic.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Last Stand is a worse movie than Origins

no it isnt

shut up

 

[guek]

MCU is arguably the current king of the genre, so when discussing other CBM's it's easy to see why comparisons happen

Even as a fan though, it's exhausting. People just seem so bitter.

[JTripper]

shit's garbage

they kill everyone

they fuck everything up

the juggernaut??

shit's probably the worst superhero movie after ASM 2

You ain't wrong tho

Waitjustaminute you leave my ASM 2 alone!

Oh, looks like you haven't seen Fant4stic.

 

[Salsa]

what's good about The Last Stand?

like one good thing

the only thing that comes to mind is Gramer as Beast

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

This movie seems really

Also, I don't want '90s Jim Lee animated X-Men. I want '80s X-Men.

And Bobby is making it sound a lot like we get comic accurate Weapon X Wolverine.

 

[Toa TAK]

Last Stand is a worse movie than Origins and it does vastly more harm to the franchise

at least Origins gave us a Deadpool joke in the new film. Last Stand straight up HAD to get a retcon and prompt an entire change in freaking timeline and setting

Last Stand had an awesome score and that Wolverine rubble climax.

Though I enjoyed Origins as shlock so *shrug*

Nah, The Spirit is still the worst superhero movie ever made, and by a considerable margin.

It's depressing that Batman v. Superman even got as close as it did, absolutely, but it's not the bottom of the barrel. Frank Miller's got that all to himself.

 

[Son Of D]

"I enjoyed Fant4stic more than CW, BvS, and X-Men, and here's why"

Well we had that Gaffer offering to send users money via Paypal to watch Fant4stic last summer. That's close enough.

 

[BSherrod]

Miller for the X-Men movies, please. Been disappointed now that the game has been raised and people aren't scarred to make comic book movies look like comic books.

 

[Discotheque]

And Ellen Page as kitty. also the juggernaut says "I'm the juggernaut bitch"

I didn't expect that to happen

 

[JTripper]

At least Origins gave us that sick ass Wolverine video game

The Magneto speech and him tearing apart the bridge scene is dope. Soundtrack is alright too.

Now you name one good thing about X Men Origins that isn't a joke about how bad the movie is.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

In three weeks:Bobby Roberts was______

 

[boiled goose]

Told you guys it looked more like X3 than DoFP..

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Yep, Beast was the only thing I remember liking about Last Stand. It's a bad film from start to finish. Like that cheap-o Sentinel fakeout. Where not only is it a simulation, but Wolverine destroys it off screen.

Cryptic

 

[Salsa]

Now you name one good thing about X Men Origins that isn't a joke about how bad the movie is.

the opening montage is fucking great

...

uh yeah

but that puts it above alone, for me, tbh

Last Stand gets extra shit points for being a sequel to the best of them, obviously

 

[Son Of D]

Does every comic book movie thread turned into MCU nitpicking or is this a recent phenomenon?

I think the events around BvS started it. If this falls apart in the box office then it'll just get worse.

 

[inky]

Grammer Beast goes without saying. I thought Kitty was good in Last Stand, but I don't really remember much other than my gf liked it the most because it was the shortest of these movies I put her through.

 

[boiled goose]

I'll just watch Civil War again and this in a plane someday.

I thought Kitty was good in Last Stand, but I don't really remember much other than my gf liked it the most because it was the shortest of these movies I put her through.

Good until she and 3 over underpowered mutants take on hoards of the most powerful mutants including phoenix by themselves.

 

[illmatic22]

Surprising. Singer's X-Men has been good but it seems he may have misfired. I don't see how his this can be worse than Rattner's failure tho.

I liked it.

There's more "X-Men!" moments in this X-Men movie than there's probably been in all the previous mainline X-Men movies combined.

I'm happy to hear that.

 

[Broken Joystick]

The way Cap won. Amazing how A-List actor Chris Evans ended up with the best comic book trilogy of all time. TALENT always wins.

X-men Apocalypse is garbage.
The Dark Knight Rises was trash.
Even Return of the Jedi was horrible compared to the 2 previous SW films.

None of them seem to know how to end a trilogy on a good note. I'm horrified @ what Apocalypse will do to Oscar Isaac's careers since he's one of my faves.

Yet the Captain America trilogy ended on the STRONGEST note on equal footing with Winter Soldier.

Critical acclaim? Check.
Incredible lead actors? Check.
Insane box office numbers? Check.

Best trilogy since Lord of the Rings.

LMAOOOOOO the way everyone underestimated Cap and yet now everyone's eating his dust including all the X-men.

Take this back to /tv/

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Looking at release dates for superhero movies, I think it's going to be consistently good movies (Suicide Squad, Doctor Strange, The LEGO Batman Movie, Untitled Wolverine Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) until Zack Synder influenced Wonder Woman shows up.

 

[MisterHero]

the opening montage is fucking great

...

lol that montage presented several ideas for a Wolverine movie and all we got was Silver Fox and a really bad, out-of-continuity (even before DoFP) Xavier cameo

 

[Dahbomb]

Man where is Scullibundo during all of this. Dude is one of the biggest Bryan Singer fans around.

I'm not sure if Captain America is the #1 trilogy of films. Top 10, certainly, but not the best.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

DISCO!!!

YOU LIED TO ME

YOU PROMISED THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ONE

Never put faith in a superhero movie

 

[Bobby Roberts]

This really is maybe Singer's sloppiest movie. Either this or Superman Returns.

(this is way more fun than Returns was, though)

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Looking at release dates for superhero movies, I think it's going to be consistently good movies (Suicide Squad, Doctor Strange, The LEGO Batman Movie, Untitled Wolverine Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) until Zack Synder influenced Wonder Woman shows up.

Wolverine solo movies haven't proven themselves worthy of that confidence.

 

[Blader]

What a world where a Deadpool movie not only exists and is good, but is actually better than a Batman vs. Superman movie and an X-Men movie featuring Apocalypse.



...actually, now that I type that out, it doesn't sound all that surprising. :lol

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I made a spoiler thread. Spill the beans, Bobby.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Surprising. Singer's X-Men has been good but it seems he may have misfired. I don't see how this can be worse than Rattner's failure tho.

I don't like defending the guy, but I wouldn't put X3 on Ratner. He didn't get involved until late in the game.

But yet the Zack Snyder influenced SS will be good?

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

But yet the Zack Snyder influenced SS will be good?

Seriously how can anybody have any faith in the DCEU

 

[Jake2by4]

But yet the Zack Snyder influenced SS will be good?

Doubt Zack has influence on SS

 

[DrROBschiz]

I kind of saw this coming based on the previews...

Maybe its the whole apocalypse theme?

Its just to crazy for them to have any hope of grounding the story in anything but the same old tropes

I wonder if we should be worried that Infinity War could fail in similar fashion

 

[TrumanBurbank]

But yet the Zack Snyder influenced SS will be good?

I feel like David Ayer is strong enough to have his own vision.

I hope.

I pray.

 

[kswiston]

Captain America doesn't have a trilogy. There are 3 films with his name on them, but you have to watch both Avengers films to fill in a lot of the blanks.

Snyder ain't got no influence on SS that I know of. That's actually why I'm convinced it looks so good and is going to be great.

 

[icespide]

Doubt Zack has influence on SS

he's an executive producer on Suicide Squad, remains to be seen if that's just a formality though

 

[DrROBschiz]

I dunno. Im gonna see it and see where i stand but i imagine the critic arent far from how ill feel about it

 

[beyond_death]

Ehhh. Still seeing it regardless. Sounds like they had trouble balancing a big cast.

 

[Cooter]

Snyder ain't got no influence on SS that I know of. That's actually why I'm convinced it looks so good and is going to be great.

What source do we have stating how involved Snyder is on WW?

 

[ZoddGutts]

Hopefully this is Singers last stand. Time to give the franchise to someone who can do X-Men real justice, that actually feels like a real X-Men film, this franchise should be doing billion at the box office. Meanwhile Deadpool just did more than any of the X-Men films. lol

I bet if Michael Bay directed XMen it would make a Billion easy
