X-Men Week: Movie #8
I was really close between a 3 and a 3.5 on this one, but it was such a breath of fresh air after the bad wolverine movies and xmen 3. The acting was good, it was one of the only xmen movies with a cohesive start to finish plot, and it felt more like a modern superhero movie. I’m also a sucker for some good ninja fights
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
X-Men Week: Movie #7
Just when they figured out the fight scenes and humor, they lost the plot. This was indeed moments of fun, with some good jokes and action sprinkled throughout. A couple of decent acting performances as well (Juggernaut was a great character). But Jean just comes back for no reason? Xavier and Scott die for no reason? Beast put on 150lbs between movies? And I couldn’t figure out the motivation of anyone in the movie; for example why would the president allow for weaponized cures if he was pro mutant?
Also I hated that ending it was so dumb
X-Men Week: Movie #5
Very average yet refreshingly enjoyable. Didn’t try to do too much with the characters or overdo the powers and the acting was solid for the most part (except james marsden and some others).
Was it a great movie? Not particularly. But this being the first released x-men I thought it was a nice introduction into the franchise for first time viewers
This is an amazing movie. I couldn’t pick out any aspect of this movie (cinematography, music, character development, plot) that needed work. The acting was amazing, and I will rewatch this eventually (this is al pacino’s best movie)
I just don’t think i like it more than goodfellas? And i get that there’s no goodfellas without Godfather, but I expected it to clear it easily
