| sabastian said: As a comic and huge X-Men fan I was again, saddened. This is the 5th X-Men movie that has been made and again we are dumped on with another crap movie. Where are the awesome battles ? Where are the classic villains ? There are so many great story plots that marvel can dive into. Excutioners Song. Death of Wolverine. Age Of Apocalypse. Onslaught. Afterr Xavier. But noooooooo. We get yet another Mystique rompfest. Marvel needs to take a tip from the Dark Knight series. Take away the PG13 status, make it catered more towards the hardcore fans and go all out. We don't need another film telling us the origins of anything. Please......... Oh and Cyclops, Gambit and Rogue needs better roles damb it. |
I once thought like you. You have to realize that even the animated films can't be faithful to the comics in most cases. Onslaught? Age of Apocalypse? You're picking storylines that not only built upon decades of lore, but also took over a year to resolve! How could they even set these stories up? Onslaught more or less resolved the issue of the X-Traitor and killed the all of the major heroes (that Fox doesn't even have rights to), sent them to another world---long story short, unless you want to totally alienate the fans, you're gonna have to make some compromises.
I went with my 14 year old non-comic fan nephew and when it was over and I was feeling super satisfied, his response was: "That was confusing." As for taking away the PG13 status, did you not see Ice Man's head come off? Collosus getting ripped in half? Sunspot getting his arm cut off? The movie(s) you're hoping for will never be made! Personally, I'm amazed that they were able to tie in the reboot, First Class, with all of the prior movies and the Wolverine movies and make a story that could be enjoyed on its own as well as combined with all of the other X-movies. Sorry bro. Comics fans are notoriously hard to satisfy and always like to show their knowledge by saying "They should do this" and "In the comics, they did that instead" but you're in the minority on this one.
