[TheVileOne]

Mhmmm, gotta love people badmouthing eachother....

arent you, Vile, an Xmen fan.

What about you, last sunrise, arent you an Xmen fan?

Both of you, shut up, because YOU KILLED CYCLOPS!

Yeah I'm an X-men fan. And I think I have a right to be upset .

 

[cookiva]

I agree, you do. But doesnt everyone else have a right to possibly feel another way?

 

[TheVileOne]

I agree, you do. But doesnt everyone else have a right to possibly feel another way?

Sure they do. But if LastSunrise is going to make those statements, I'm going to challenge them.

 

[xwolverine2]

should i even bother reading the stupidass review?

 

[cookiva]

should i even bother reading the stupidass review?

I havent. I havent read any reviews. Not even Morty's, and I love morty to death....

 

[cookiva]

Sure they do. But if LastSunrise is going to make those statements, I'm going to challenge them.

If this wasnt such a petty arguement, I would agree, but bro, seriously, this is kinda childish....

@Vile- You are not making your decision by reading a review. If a review says a movie is garbage and you decide not to see it, you're letting a critic/reviewer make a decision for you.

You can say well I'm not going to see it because of the clips, previews, and so forth that we've seen on television and the internet. But to let another human being determine your decision? No. That just makes you a weak and sad individual who can't make his/her own decision.

Vile, you are very much like Harry. You never admit you're wrong, you hate everything, and anyone has a different opinion is either an apologist or a stupid ignorant fan. I never really did hold your opinions to face value, as you never go into why you hate a film, you just say it sucks and that's as far as your review goes.

So, whatever. I'm seeing it on the 26th and no hater or doubter will make the decision for me.

 

[cookiva]

I read what you had written, LastSunrise, and for the first time, and maybe last time.....

GO VILE. I LOVE YOU VILEONE!!!!

 

[xwolverine2]

harry writes in bold and capital letters too much.....

*refrains from telling a fat joke*

@Vile- You are not making your decision by reading a review. If a review says a movie is garbage and you decide not to see it, you're letting a critic/reviewer make a decision for you.

Once again, the decision is still ultimately up to that person. And what if they see it and it is garbage? Had they listened to the review and taken heed they might not have wasted their money .

You can also can wait a few months and watch it for free on cable or get it cheap on DVD netflix rental.

You can say well I'm not going to see it because of the clips, previews, and so forth that we've seen on television and the internet. But to let another human being determine your decision? No. That just makes you a weak and sad individual who can't make his/her own decision.

So you never ask a friend or anything? How's this car? Do you recommend this? Should I try this? Would I like this food? How does it taste?

Stop being a drama queen. Deciding not to see a movie because of a bad review does NOT make you a weak individual.

Vile, you are very much like Harry. You never admit you're wrong, you hate everything, and anyone has a different opinion is either an apologist or a stupid ignorant fan. I never really did hold your opinions to face value, as you never go into why you hate a film, you just say it sucks and that's as far as your review goes.

Oh enough. First of all, you know by now that I do NOT hate everything. You know I'm a TNA fan and I don't hate TNA. You know I love the X-men films, the Spider-man films, Batman Begins, and a lot of other things, so don't play that bull**** game with me.

Harry Knowles also likes plenty of things. Stop ridiculously over-generalizing.

So, whatever. I'm seeing it on the 26th and no hater or doubter will make the decision for me.

No one will make the decision for me when I see it either. It's still my decision no matter what is written or said to me about it.

 

[DACrowe]

Some of his complaints sound valid others sound like pre-written fan bashing.

I think that fans will be greatly disappointed by this if they are fans of Cyclops, Rogue, Juggernaut, Magneto or the Pheonex story. But I bet it wil lbe entertaining. I think mass audiences will enjoy it as disposable entertainment as they don't know what this story could have been.

It will be big and decently reviewed and do decent numbers, but I expect very small legs than compared to the others as this is justg 90 minutes of light entertainment. Fans will be left at the end of the day though with an incomplete trilogy. One that they will bicker over for the next decade.

Alas.

 

[The Guard]

X3 wasn't perfect. Big surprise. And so, Harry Knowles, who's been hating on the film for a year now because it's not the comic book, ripped it a new *******. Big surprise. Nevermind that half his complaints, like the complaints of most critics, are also found in X-MEN and X2.

This is getting pathetic. I'll be damned if I give a damn what Harry or his henchmen think.

 

[Sentinel X]

NO WAY, Harry hated it....big surprise!!!...


Before I read the review, are there any big spoilers?

No its relatively spoiler free. Nothing you don't know by already seeing the trailers clips and pictures.

 

[Speedball]

WAITWAITWAIT!!!
what happened to my post earlier?
anyway. someone said he didn't SEE the movie.
I'm passing this review off as a piece of trash written by a somewhat famous troll.

 

[Sentinel X]

No its relatively spoiler free. Nothing you don't know by already seeing the trailers clips and pictures.

Thanks...*goes to check it out*

 

[Speedball]

GO VILE. I LOVE YOU VILEONE!!!!

I love you too Cookiva . I called my pal Samoa Joe and he says he loves you too.

Look, I don't give a **** about Harry.

I think he's been a punk throughout this entire production, and though I don't go to AICN, just my perception of him and that site, from stuff that I've heard about him, etc... he seems like a really arrogant punk, who puts himself on a higher pedastal that he really deserves.

But let's look at the facts:

For X-Men fans, there REALLY IS a lot wrong about this movie.

With Bryan Singer, he ignored the visual aspects of the X-Men (i.e. colorful costumes, HUGE displays of powers, etc...), but he focuses on the humanity of these characters, who they are, what they are about, and this world that they lived in.

Rater (rather, Kinberg & Penn) focused on the flashy aspects of the X-Men, claiming every scene was inspired by a page in the comics. Storm flies, we have Fastball Specials, we have the Danger Room, but the essence of these characters has been lost. Just see how the Phoenix Saga is being handled, and look at what's happened to Cyclops.

Singer's movies didn't LOOK like the X-Men, but they FELT like the X-Men. Kinberg & Penn made a movie that LOOKS like the X-Men, but doesn't FEEL like the X-Men.

At least in certain parts, because having not seen the movie, I'm still convinced that they got more right than they got wrong.

But look at what they did get wrong. Some people can yammer on and on about how this is an adaptation, and will never be the comics, all they want. But this movie forsakes what the Phoenix Saga is really about, and it forsakes the essence of the characters, and it totally disrespects one of the biggest characters in the X-Men period, let alone in this particular story, Cyclops.

That's a VERY HUGE deviation from the source material. That's not changing the Phoenix Saga to take place on Earth instead of in space. That's not making Jean Grey a Dr. when she's not in the comics. That's not changing some costumes, or focusing on Rogue's insecurity instead of her flight and super strength.

That's TOTAL DISRESPECT FOR ONE OF THE FICTION'S MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERS EVER, and his absence from this story inherently makes it a worse story, because now the story isn't what it was about before, Dark Phoenix is just now a bigger, more badass villian that they have to defeat. The Dark Phoenix storyline has lost the essence of what it was about.

Harry, and anyone for that matter, who has complaints with this movie, has some really valid, legitamate complaints, now that our worst fears about this movie have come true.

There's no more conspiracy theories on how Fox is hiding Cyclops' death. There's no more "Cyclops is just thought to be dead but comes back later"

Cyclops dies. The Phoenix Saga, in it's essence, is ruined.

So now there's 2 things left to do;

-Either watch the movie, and enjoy it because there are lots of other things that they got right, and enjoy the movie DESPITE the deviations taken to the Phoenix Saga

or

-Watch the movie, and absolutley hate it because of certain creative choices

I choose to watch this movie for myself. I don't care about critics. Through everything I know about this movie, I think that I will end up disagreeing with the negative reviews from Harry and the like. I think I will enjoy this movie. And I still feel that this movie has potential to be the best one of the series.

For some people, these creative changes are too much to handle though, and that's perfectly fine. I'm very upset with it. I've cherished these films because up to this point, they got these characters and the world right. And now in the big finally, the climax of the trilogy, it's in the wrong hands (whoever that might be, Kinberg & Penn, Ratner, Fox w/o Singer, whoever), and they have butchered the story, and highly disrespected a great character.

Now it's just a matter of if I'll be able to get past that and enjoy the rest of the movie. Which, despite the nagative blow this movie has had dealt to it in the handling of Cyclops, I think I will be able to enjoy the rest of the movie.

Here, here well said


Don't worry about what any reviewer says and just watch the film and either enjoy it or don't.

 

[Octoberist]

good bless Nell.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

The fact is that, no matter how much the comic-book fans can complain about it, Wolverine is the most loved character of the X-Men movies, so he's the one who must save the day in the end.

 

[livrule]

Bottom line .... ONE day before the release AICN decide to flood the site with Negative reviews.

This is the final **** you to Ratner and X3 that most could see coming from a mile away.

I have seen X3 .... Its easily as good as X1 and not far behind X2 ..... It is NOT a disaster.

Harry and the gang are simply doing what they do best ... trying to use this 'power' they think they have to undermine a director and his work.

 

[liverlips]

Harry and the rest of his nerds (Vern & Moriarity excluded) hated it for all the reasons I'm going to like it. I read the Phoenix saga when it first came out (I was eleven at the time); I thought the idea of a cosmic, flaming bird possession was ridiculous enough at that age, so I'm happy as hell it wasn't even considered for the movies.

I think the film will capture the essence of the story; a team mate is drunk with power and has to be sobered up the hard way. I have confidence in Brett on this one and I think he'll make Bryan and the majoriity of moviegoers proud.
