quote - now we can chalk another surefire success to the list when "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" slashes its way into theaters May 1, 2009 i dont agree with this statement cos people say that about all kinds of things. take spiderman for instance i personally thought all three were rubbish and a waste of a trip to the cinema
this would be a wicked movie....i would love to see it but 2009! aww man, they couldnt start it earlier? now we all gonna have to wait so long. But i guess theres ironman to look foward to first
Personally, I'm getting a little tired of x-Men. The characters just don't pull me in as much as Spider Man's do. In Spider Man, the bad guys are good guys that had nowhere else to turn, but the villains in X-Men are just idiots that have learned to abuse their powers, that's just boring. Also, spin-offs never go successfully as seen with Elektra. Pretty soon, they're going to start running out of decent marvel characters. One of the last few left is Captain America. Let me name the list while I'm ranting. Spider Man The Punisher X-men Daredevil Blade Ghost Rider Iron Man (2008) The Hulk Fantastic Four Elektra I think I've named a good bunch, seriously though, Marvel threw all their ideas into the theaters too fast. Once special effects becom even greater, DC Comics will still have a great selection to choose from for their movies. they've made like 5 batman movie and nobody's lost minterest in that yet.
Exactly man! I was so mad that they got someone to look like the beast in xmen but no gambit...like WTF!
Gambit ftw =(. Wonder why they cut him out? On-Topic: 2009 is a long time away for something that's likely to be rubbish.
same here most of the time plus so far theres very few that have been worth watching!!! (mainly blade, awesome movie)
