AU, I was wondering too. But I figured I would let someone else do wolfy. So here we go on Wolverine. First pretty good. I enjoyed with my big cherry coke and big popcorn. The teenagers behind me not so much. Kinda of predictable but still good. Wolverine is whipped like cream. Gotta stop romancing nut jobs. Col Stryker is portrayed as a right wing christian nut. Noticed the cross darken on his lapel in the hospital. But if was a rag head we have to be pc. I liked badger his brother better. But I didn't feel sorry for the nazis. And of course they were yankees cause rebs are bad. Alot of stereotypes on US soldiers. But still good. Wolverine needs to be alittle tougher.

What is cherry coke anyway? Is it an American thing? like peanut butter and jelly. I've seen vanilla coke here in Australia but never cherry coke.. Is it good?

You have to have a need to know. And being so close to Red China your denied access to Cherry Coca Cola.

I don't consider myself a big cherry cola fan, as the cherry tends to be too sweet for my likes. Generally, any 'flavored' coke is a bit much. However, I don't hate Coke's brand. Vanilla, is also darn good. Go figure.

I thought it was entirely mediocre myself, easily the worst of the X-Men films, but a decent enough action flick if you completely turn your brain off.

I think the script was pretty horrible, overall. Very little coherency, felt more like a list of studio notes assembled into a movie - one made by comittee. Too many plot holes and not-well-thought-out plot developments. The effects were pretty underwhelming, too.

And how is it that Cyclops is a teen in 1979 (the 3-Mile Island incident), yet is in his early 20's in the "near future" of the first X-Men, which came out in 2000? Horribly sloppy writing there.

Also, per young Wolvey....

Why is it that heroes who are darn near indestructible start out sick? Wolverine was sick, as well as his brother, just at the onset of him getting his powers. So, I'm watching the new Superman movie, and same thing with HIS little kid.... He's got asthma , but later on in the movie, he can toss a piano across the room.

I know, different writers, different 'verse, but it seems the same template is used in both. What's up w/ that ?

I'd just call them lame red-herrings.

At least the bit with Wolvie comes from the comic, and served a purpose in the plot (in the Origin comic,

the reader is first led to believe the scrappy kid who turns out to be Sabretooth is Wolvie. It was supposed to be a surprise when sickly young James Howlett pops his claws for the first time).

I just saw it today, and I wouldn't say it totally sucked, but it's pretty much on par with X3. They would probably both be ok-ish movies if X-men and X2 hadn't completely blown them out of the water with their total awesomeness. This new movie tried to do too much and stuff in too many cameos, forcing them to trivialize the strong brother storyline they started with. There were so many characters I ended up not caring about any of them.

I wasn't too offended by what they did to Deadpool only because I was sure the merc withOUT a mouth was only temporary. Here's hoping he loses a few of those extra powers. Ryan Reynolds was a perfect cast for the part and I could stand to see more of him.

However, I was totally pissed by what they did to Gambit. The Cajun accent is his signature and without it he's just a prettyboy with a deck of cards. I'm sure the actor could have pulled it off if they'd let him. I guess Fox just thought we couldn't handle it (typical Fox). Better to skip Gambit completely then mess him up. argh!
