What was the last movie you've seen?

[Segata]

lol love the Creepshow films. So cheesy but so good.

I'm actually more excited about the New Mutants film than I am the Phoenix Saga.

It's hard to do dark Phoenix saga in Fox's X-men cinematic universe because they've never done anything in outer space before. Cosmic-level space opera can definitely be done in films, but Fox hasn't really set enough precedent for it in the X-Men franchise.

I also just feel mixed on it in like a... "they should have done this a long time ago" kind of way. I don't know that we really need a Dark Phoenix movie now, even if it is an 'important' event comics-wise.

I've quite enjoyed the recent X-Men movies. I actually think First Class is wonderful. But if anything I feel like Deadpool and Logan have shown that there's a lot of interesting stuff that can be done in this universe without the X-Men proper. Deadpool 2 and X-Force and New Mutants... all this stuff is way more exciting to me than "finally" getting a Dark Phoenix movie.

I agree completely!

After a number of mediocre wolverine movies, Logan really blew me away. I wasn't expecting such an artistic movie that could be left open to interpretation in so many different ways. I've been meaning to write a full review of Logan since I saw it, but it's no longer fresh in my mind.

[noiseredux]

Logan really was fantastic, yeah. It's in my top tier comic movies.

To your note, I've been really bad about updating this thread myself. We've actually watched a bunch of horror movies this month that I forgot to write about. Plus I never talked about Wonder Woman which was fucking excellent.

[samsonlonghair]

Yeah, Wonder Woman had really impressive sound design. I couldn't help but get wrapped up in it, even though I'm more of a Marvel fan than D.C., I have to admit that Wonder Woman was a flipping excellent movie.

Didn't they already sort of address some of the elements of the Dark Phoenix saga in X-Men: The Last Stand? They kinda got it mixed up with the regular Phoenix stuff.

Sort of kind of, but the whole thing got retconned out by DoFP.

I still haven't seen that. I guess I need to to understand stuff?
