I think Marsden is a competent actor; he will get the job done. But I fail to spot charisma in him. When he's Cyclops mad, he's just sour. The Cyclops from the comics, IMO at least, displayed much more anger and vigour.
Agreed, @Sandy. It was good but not superb.
My ranking of the X-Men movies (and including a notoriously hard-to-find TV pilot by Jack Sholder) is as follows:
1) X2 [Mystique does it for me in this film. Absolutely stunning!]
2) First Class
3) X-Men
4) The Wolverine
5) X3
6) Origins: Wolverine
7) Generation X
You hit the nail in the head! While the casting of Jackman as Wolverine was one of the most inspired ones in recent Hollywood history, I doubt anyone can say the same about Cyclops. The character needs a fire within (no pun intended) that Marsden is unable to show.
Yes, I couldn't stop imagine how great it would be if there was a regular series of Wolverine movie, let's say every two years.
Question: I plan to show him X2 next, then X-Men: First Class and finish with X3.
Is this a good plan IYO?
When The Wolverine is available, I think it would be harder to find a proper order: X3 - The Wolverine - First Class - Days of Future Past? or X3 - First Class - The Wolverine - Days of Future Past?
Man I love this series but this is exhausting
X-Men First Class
X-Men Origins Wolverine
X-Men
X2
X-Men The Last Stand
The Wolverine
X-Men Days of Future Past
I've almost finished Season 1 and so far this is my comparison of characters between movies and the series:
- Better in series than in movies: Rogue, Cyclops, Gambit
- Better in movies than in series: Professor Xavier, Magneto, Jean Grey
- Equally great: Wolverine
Famke isn't in 'Days of Future Past'? Wow, I really thought she was. Why do I feel like I've seen her in an X-Men film recently? Was she in 'The Wolverine' or something? I haven't seen that movie, either, but I know I've seen her in a trailer. Could've swore it was DOFP.
She's a driving force behind Wolverine throughout the film. She is featured in a sort of dream-scenario.
yes she was in the new Wolverine film but not this film
On another note, i'm quite the fan of the X-Men franchise i have always been stunned of how high the quality of the series has been. I like all of the films and i think all of them offer great variety and entertainment. I couldn't see what was so bad with Origins, i found it quite compelling.
I would rate the films like this:
1) X-Men: First Class (The best of all superhero films if i exclude The Dark Knight, just brilliant)
2) X-Men (I was amazed when i watched it and to realize how good it really was)
3) X-Men: Last Stand (I think it's really enjoyable and a great way to end the first trilogy)
4) X-Men: Origins (I like the whole concept of Wolverine as a charachter and i find this movie to be bloody good!)
5) The Wolverine (Jackman does his best effort in the role although the film is a bit meh for me, it lacks the feel of the previous films. Plus for the Bond-references!)
6) X2 (So sue me, i do just find this to be dull in it's part and not so compelling as i like it to be. But still it's a good film!)
Actually, that was to set up Days of Future Past, because Bolivar Trask is one of the villains, and he created the Sentinel program. I don't spoiler-tag this because it's public knowledge.
1) First Class would be the best for me if I didn't include The Avengers, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Iron Man 3, Thor The Dark World and Batman The Dark Knight Returns parts 1 & 2.
2) The film that truly proved that superhero movies could be made. Though the first two Superman and Batman films were good as well.
3) I found the film enjoyable. I would have found it a lot better if the deleted scenes were included, because they would have made the film a lot more cohesive.
4) The Logan/Sabertooth rivalry throughout the film was great, as was the fleshing out of William Stryker's character. I loved the Mutant cameos when Wolverine frees the captives before the Weapon XI fight.
5) Still haven't seen it.
6) Y'know, I would actually be inclined to agree with you, except for a couple of things. Stryker's plan (to use Mutants to kill Mutants) is awesome, as is the growing Phoenix power in Jean Gray, then there's the fact that Magneto gets more screentime, and Ian McKellen is great in the role.
I am really hyped for it, it's that and the last Hobbit that are the only films that i am interested in for 2014!
1) Bryan Singer and co. explained it a while ago in interviews and the like; and
2) The comics could have told you that thirty years ago. Not to mention the myriad cartoons and the X-Men Origins video game.
