X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Honestly, how many fucking Marvel movies can they flood the market with? Greedy greedy greedy.

X-Men is a Marvel property, but FOX has the exclusive movie rights. Marvel doesn't get a say on which X-Men movies FOX makes.

Same with Spiderman, except it's Sony.

The rest of the Marvel universe is controlled by Marvel.
 
FOX and Sony both seem to be attempting to replicate the Marvel Cinematic Universe formula now, with FOX going for X-Men spinoffs (with a character no one really wants to see spun-off in Gambit) and Sony planning a Sinsister Six film in the "Spider-Man universe." Except Amazing Spider-Man 2 is underperforming at the box office so they might cancel that and really who wants spin-offs to Spider-Man movies.

Ellen Page looks good in a suit.
 
YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT.

(He worked at Marvel for years, and DC before that, also he's awesome and a blast and loves DEVO)
 
Is he different from the other friend of yours who knew about comics whose page I bookmarked but I've bookmarked other pages and now I can't remember which one it was?
 
So I went to see the film, not bad, plus they answered a question of mine from way back, namely, can Wolverine drown?

Got to see a hell of a lot of X men die, and a cool ending that still left some questions unanswered.

I wonder which version of the team will end up in Appocolips?
 
Supposedly Bryan Singer was looking to cast young versions of Cyclops, Storm and Jean for the next movie (set in the eighties) but who knows if he'll even be directing it now.
 
He might be directing soap in the shower.

Or he could be innocent.

I do hope though that by aging his young actors 20 years in the space of 6 real years, we dont end up with a load of deadly years style make ups.
 
I saw it the other day but wasn't actually very keen on it. It was nice having Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen back but they were given very little to do. I thought they could've had a little more dialogue exploring what it was like for former enemies to be side by side, but Ian McKellen in particular had barely any lines.

And the rest of the film was quite stop and start. You'd have a very short action sequence and then a lot of back and forth leading up to a failed recruitment. Most of the film seemed to consist of people refusing to take part in action scenes, actually. I would've liked it more if they'd got the team back together in the first 20 minutes and then had the rest of the film to get stuck into things.

I also saw Edge of Tomorrow the same day, though. Thanks to the Groundhog Day nature of that film it's able to develop the characters through action scenes, so I might've been a little spoilt.
 
Cool visual aside, I am not entirely sure a football stadium would fit around the whitehouse for that matter.
 
I FINALLY WATCHED THIS it was good. I did wonder what the point was of the bit where Mystique rescues some mutants in Vietnam then we don't see them again (except watching tv at the end.) Also after Quicksilver has that great scene it's kind of a letdown that in the next scene they just say "well, see you kid!" The Xavier talking to Xavier scene was good but it's a shame they didn't have a Magneto talking to Magneto scene as McKellan literally only had about five lines. Ellen Page is cute.
