X2 was the best one, easily. It's one of the best comic movies ever made, IMO.

I was expecting a "Opinions aren't, not 'opinions isn't'". Screwed the pooch on that one.
I didn't even read the 's' on "opinions".

Why is he a troll if he honestly feels that way? See, this is what I hate about the internet. It doesn't matter if you're not actually trolling. If you express an opinion contrary to the "majority" (more often than not a very vocal minority), you must be a troll. I disagree with that line of thinking on principle.

What is X:NC? Do you mean First Class? If so, that is better than Wolverine Origins in my mind, by a good stretch. I've only seen each once though.

In fairness these two movies are close for me, but I've always liked Wolverine as a character and Jackman's portrayal of him quite a bit (both of which obviously take center stage in Wolverine: Origins). It also has two of my other favorite X-Men universe characters in Gambit (easily my fave of the X-men) and Deadpool (who I thought was played well by Reynolds). Neither movie is near as good as X1 and X2 as they both have a lot of problems with pacing, dialogue, etc. but they are both "better than average" comic book films to my mind.

I have a review of my thoughts on X-Men: The Next Generation in my sig link. In fairness they are probably both a "3.5" for me since I like the series as a whole. More "objectively" they are probably both 3s.

Perhaps if I'd read the comics these were based on I'd feel differently. But, like most movie goers, I haven't.

Dude half of your posts are attributing ulterior motives to other people's opinions. "Oh you only dislike X because you're trying to be different" "You only hate World War Z because you're a screenwriter and you're jealous" etc.

Any movie with Jennifer Lawrence in blue body paint gets my vote.

Based on the tone of his "review" and what he actually said in it, that's how it read to me. I'm actually kind of surprised no one else saw that 'cause it was kind of obvious.

You're still trying to undermine someone's opinion by attributing a baseless ulterior motive to it, and you do that sort of thing all the time. It's absolutely no different than calling someone a "troll" for liking/disliking a movie.
