X-Men: First Class

[ZenLogikos]

Best X-Men movie yet.

What retcons are some of you speaking of? The only one I can think of is Professor X being paralyzed in First Class (1962) when he was standing at the end of Origins (1979).

And since Origins is dead to me, there is no problem.

EDIT: Nevermind. I checked them out on imdb.

Yes, Magneto absolutely made the movie for me!

I still think these comic book movies could be a lot better. The only one that just blew me away was Dark Knight.

Didn't care for Batman Begins?

Anyone with me here in thinking that Batman and Batman Returns are the best Batman movies?

[AppleQueso]

Personally I find the two Burton films to be really strong on visuals but weak on narrative.

They're cool movies, the first one especially for its historical signifigance alone (bringing a 'darker' batman to mainstream audiences), but I prefer the Nolan movies to them honestly.

If you really want to press me to pick a favorite Batman flick though I'd probably end up going with Mask of the Phantasm.

Actually, I did like it. I dunno why that one slipped my mind. It didnt blow me away though.

I will always have a special place in my heart for the keaton/burton movies

I didn't watch the burton/keaton films at all growing up, so that's probably why I don't think of them as fondly as others here might. I have a lot of respect for them and what they did, but yeah.

Am I the only one here who thinks the 1960s Batman movie is the best?



When I was in grad school I went to class with a lady who had worked for Warner Bros. for several years. She said that Frank Gorshin (The Riddler) was the nicest man she ever met.

Ack, I freaking loved the TV series growing up. Haha, I don't know why but my parents hated that I watched it, maybe because it was too cheesy or something. I have no idea.

But anyways, I'd almost dare to say Batman TAS and Arkham Asylum > ALL Batman movies.

But I definitely was a big fan of the first two growing up. I can still recall that early scene when Batman is holding some guy by the neck at the top of some building ready to drop him. Before this didn't Batman take a few bullets to the chest, only to fake his death for a second there? Epic. I haven't seen Returns in years and I couldn't even watch it for awhile growing up (it was Rated R! haha), but yeah I enjoyed that one a good bit too from what I remember.

But of course . Why do you think I said Mask of the Phantasm was the best movie?
