COMIC BOOK FILM SERIES: X-MEN ORIGINS WOLVERINE

Hmm yes what do I say about this? It is OK in part and not so in others...

SO things were just VERY wrong with the story and though I had just left the comic book world when Gambit appeared I did not like the sound of him in all honesty.

However in this film he looked quite an interesting character indeed! Wanted to see more of him.

But you did not and so it lets the side down for me mostly. A missed opportunity I am hoping they will make up for in the up and coming The Wolverine!

I was surprised to pick this up in a cash converter type store that shall not be named for the measly sum of £2.50 and to be honest I should have picked up that it will not be as good as I had been hearing?!

Me dumb arse! Still it was only £2.50 and had it been £18 I would have been squealing like a stuck ... thing! LOL!

COMIC BOOK FILM SERIES: X-MEN 3

X-Men 3 utterly, utterly destroyed it for me and a classic case where a bunch of names think that they can change what is a classic thing to their way and it will be as good or better?!

I have it and a wince several times on the rare occasions I watch it. Well the pitfalls of being a big fan is you will own them despite them being...well shite really?! LOL.

No..no..NO..NO!!!

If you insist on being arrogant go and invent your own group of heroes and then make a movie!!

Where do I begin with this one. Angel is a very late member of the X-Men yet he was of the FIRST FIVE! Played by a bloody great actor and you hardly see him and took bloody ages before I realised it was same guy in The Punisher and my favourite character in that movie?!

Dark Phoenix, who looks crap, kills a man she eventually MARRIES?! CYCLOPS?! NO.. NO  oh you get the idea?!

She is killed on EARTH by WOLVERINE? No morons it was the moon and a GUN... did you even fllick THROUGH X-MEN number 137?! Well yes I owned this and a great deal more besides too.

Still not that much of Colossus either. THERE IS NO I IN TEAM OR INDEED X-MEN?!

Jesus let it be said that this how how you do not do it unless you head is up your backside?!

Did not stop Amazing Spider-Man though?! LMAO!

Right I have the Avengers, sorry Avengers ASSEMBLE that mechano set, and the first trilogy of X-Men out of the way.

COMIC BOOK FILMS SERIES: X-MEN 2

Despite being the best of the three by a hairs breadth this one was let down by the obvious...

...the only super villain was a mute and bound to a wheelchair?! The rest was just a specialist military outfit?!

I was really hoping the SENTINELS would appear or possibly the HELLFIRE CLUB or even ALPHA FLIGHT?! X-Men fans everywhere know that the list goes on?!

Also Wolverine is edging ever closer the the fore on the cover and the others are being edged out, someone want his own film by any chance?

Still I do like it but just could have been what eventually became The Avengers.

Do they know that X-Men was a more popular comic than The Avengers? Or at least it was when I was reading the comics that had these incarnations of them at any rate.

Still the Avengers is out and more of the same please!

9.2 out of 10 for me this one.
