I went to the midnight showing here. I personally thought the movie was awesome.

I havent seen it and I have to admit, I think the comic book movies have already peaked and are on their way down.  This franchise in particular is on its way down and this is likely to be the last gasp of the x-men series.

Except for X-Men Origins: Magneto and X-Men: First Class

I think that comic book movies are hit and miss as they always have been.  But I disagree that they have peaked.

X-men 1 and 2 were better than 3, but I hear good things about Wolverine.  And Magneto's story is incredible, I can only hope the movie does it justice.

The most recent Hulk (although not awesome) was definitely better than the previous one.

The most recent Spiderman was my wife's favorite (although I didn't like it at first), and after seeing her perspective, I agree that it is great.

Ironman was a great movie, and got me excited to see what they do with the Avengers.

The Dark Night was probably the best Batman movie EVER (in spite of my poor expectations).

It just seems like Hollywood has finally figured out how to make some great superhero movies.  I have high hopes for the future.

I must ask...How was gambit?

Boring

O.o

It's my impression from reports regarding this movie that a lot of creative license was employed.  The history of Wolverine is a strange amalgamation of the Origin storyline and the Weapon X storyline, and various characters seem to be included just for the sake of having them in the movie.

Also, the reason Wolverine has no memory of his time under Stryker is a total plot device.

I loved this movie! I just saw it yesterday. But...

Sabertooth isn't supposed to be able to heal...

Yes, Sabretooth can heal and he's always been able to heal

Not THAT well...

Yes that well, his healing factor can rival Wolverine's

My favorite part of the movie was the opening scenes as the brothers were fighting in the wars.  Very cool idea.  I did love the casting of Victor/Sabertooth.  He played it better then I thought he could.  I actually liked the movie.  The special cameo near the end of the movie by a certain bald actor was awesome to me. 

Saw the movie, my biggest problem with it was that the messed up Deadpool! Not at thebegining, where he is Wade Wilson, but at the end when they gave him the name Deadpool...A minor problem I have is that there is no mention of Weapon X messing with its peoples memories, planting false ones so the people aren't even sure what is real and not. Other than that, the movie was pretty good, I liked it. Not nessacarily as an action movie, but more of an explination of how Wolverine came to be.

What perspective did you see spider man 3 in...? Cuz I thought every perspective was bad for that movie.

The perspective that the theme of the whole movie was forgiveness.
Harry forgiving Peter for the death of his father.
Peter forgiving the Sandman for the death of his uncle.
Mary Jane forgiving Peter for being an insensitive jerk.
And Eddie not being able to forgive Peter and being destroyed by his lust for vengeance.
Even minor incidents like Peter's landlord forgiving him for being disrespectful.

Watching it from this perspective gave it a depth and significance that made it much better in my opinion.

Oh so moral perspective, not a good movie though, but morally good.

If you insist on breaking a movie down to either "action" or "morality" then I guess you have a case for calling it a bad movie, but if you inisit on seeing it "holisticly" then how can you say that Spiderman 3 is a bad movie given its content and meaning.

you were probably one of those people who liked "attack of the clones" because it had lots of Boom-Bang!


seriously, I think I am surrounded by Philistines.
