Blasphemer! WATCH THEM NOW!!!!
I'm in the process of expanding my cinematic knowledge, so don't worry ;)
I have always thought this alternative timeline for Star Wars: Phantom Menace+Attack of the Clones are EP1, EP3 stays equal and EP2 is pure Clone Wars, only battles like in the animated series (in 2D, the best in my opinion).
Knowing your tastes for Bond, I think you'll enjoy more the prequels DC007, with all due respect of course!
Is it possible to make some sort of analogies between Bond and Star Wars?
For me they would be like this:
A New Hope -- Dr No (classical, simple)
The Empire Strikes Back -- FRWL (more sophisticated and complex than the first, but perfect from any point of view)
Return of the Jedi -- TB (fun but not perfect)
The Phantom Menace -- Moonraker (a lot of adventure, jokes and very campy)
Attack of the Clones -- FYEO (don't know why, but they both bored me)
Revenge of the Sith -- Casino Royale (a well made sequel)
I guess this will forever ruin my credibility on this forum, but my favorite Star Wars film, of the 3 I've seen, is.... Phantom Menace.
Anyhow, Phantom Menace is great!
And Daltoncriag never be afraid of what you love.
I love the Saint starring Val Kilmer I'm the only one in the world with the courage to say so of course; ) I can name a dozen or so films I've seen trashed here and elsewhere that I love to death.
I would watch X1- X3 in order first. It's an exciting trilogy. Watching Wolverine Origins next is optional, or skip it and go direct to First Class, which I think is more enjoyable, if you have already seen the first three films.
Origins: Wolverine is kinda stand alone. I'd watch it last.
I have no problem with this. My favorite Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn, is in this movie. Liam Neeson gave a supreme performance in this film (and, amazingly enough, reprised the role twelve years later in two episodes of The Clone Wars).
No! That's not true! That's impossible!
how is that we must always be opposites? lol..... Phantom Menace is the Star Wars film I like the least - though there are aspects of it i do like, they get outweighed by the aspects i don't like..
I love The Empire Strikes Back - but my favorite is Return Of The Jedi.
thats why i love Empire, it's story and tone is perfect..
ROTJ is my favorite, pretty much because it wraps everything up - i love the emotional ending, even with the additions made to it in the Special Edition..
i always think back to what could have been too.... it's no secret that Lucas wanted Spielberg to direct ROTJ - but that plan fell through.
I also have this issue. Is X2 better than X-Men: First Class? I think it is, if only by a bit. If the sequel tops First Class then we'll have a new winner and a near perfect X-Men film. You can't get much better than that.
Green Lantern is at least colourful and should look good in hi-def, plus its got Blake Lively, looking very coy, so what the hey. I like escapist fare!
But the best of the bunch is 'First Class'
just like the line itself "the Wolverine howls at the moon" - it makes no sense - as a Wolverine is not a wolf, but almost a badger like animal...
beyond that little nugget of info, the film itself is just terrible... it's not that it's an action packed thrill ride - you can still have that, and half a brain also.... but good lord, if you're going to be relying on a lot of CGI effects in your movie, at least make them look good - they were without a doubt, some of the worst effects i've seen in a major Hollywood film a very long time.... while CGI does not a good movie make - when it's terrible, it can yank you right out of it, and become an eyesore.. i mean, come on, the CGI'd Patrick Stewart at the end by the helicopter was so bad that I laughed out loud in the theater - a PS1 video game could've done a better job...
the plot was contrived and convoluted, not too mention this film had just about every action / dramatic cliche' known to man, that it became distracting to a degree... some scenes like the boxing one with the Blob were just too dumb to even be enjoyable - not to mention he goes through the whole boxing mess, just to easily take him down, which he could've done right at the start, and saved us from a completely useless scene in the film.
I was unaware of that (not too knowledgeable about animals).
Two points here:
1) Very few action heavy movies have thought-provoking plots (The Matrix aside)
2) The Scorpion King 2. That's all I have to say on the bad CG front.
A good deal of comic books have contrived and convoluted plots, and cliches exist all over movies nowadays (quite a lot of horror movies have the whole "something jumps out from the side of the screen" thing).
I'm not exactly going to defend the boxing scene, but... well, Blob is very fat. Granted, he could have been smart and snikt'ed the claws a lot sooner, but that would have robbed the film of precious screen time, and I thought the length of that movie worked quite well.
There have been far worse comic book movies out there (*cough* Batman & Robin *cough*), and this was one of the more decent ones. It's not the best X-Men film, but it turned out better what X-Men Origins: Magneto would have been.
Yes, that was what I meant. And, Xavier was also able to walk during X3's prologue scene, and that takes place after Wolverine.
A shock to no one but The Wolverine has a release date of 26th July 2013:

No doubt the second First Class will follow, unless the Deadpool film is ever made.
It may be set in the '70's, with the last in the '80's. That's an idea that's being floated around.
