X-Men: Days of Future PastFollow

Again, I have no idea what you're arguing here. I said all of the X-Men films did better than double their production cost. They all did. What on earth are you on about with "a few decimal places"?


Hey, if you say so. I don't think she has the chops for it based on the movies I've seen her in but that's not something I can prove short of her actually being being the lead in a superhero movie.

Watch Super (directed by the dude who's directing Guardians of the Galaxy & who directed the awesome Slither). Her sidekick character rapes the male lead (Dwight from the Office) & is pretty crazy & amazing.

X-2 is still the best X-Men film & if you disagree, you're wrong. Fassbender Magento was AMAZING in First Class, but a lot of the other stuff in the movie wasn't.

I thought it was direct to Video/On Demand/Netflix, lol. Has Kevin Bacon, Merle from TwD (& Slither, & Guardians of the Glaxy) & Liv Tyler in it too.

Besides the scene I mentioned above, there's another pretty out of nowhere seen with her in it too. If you liked Kick ***, you'll like Super.

It's not rape if a hot girl does it.

I'll second the questioning of labeling of this as "performing badly". The X-men franchise has done quite well. And frankly, they've focused on Wolverine, because that's the character people like the most and Hugh Jackman has done a very good job playing it. Giving fans what they want isn't usually a mistake.




Honestly, I don't think the problem is with Ellen Page (I also have no opinion on whether she can pull a lead off well). The problem is with the character. Kitty Pryde just isn't that popular/interesting a character to carry a feature. She never has been. There are reasons why certain characters have had solo books, and others have not. We can debate what those reasons are specifically, but it's clear that there are characters that for one reason or another capture the interest (and money) of fans, and others that do not. Wolverine has had multiple solo titles. Spider man has as well (arguably the most solo titles in the Marvel universe). Gambit did for awhile. Punisher has had a few titles. Thor has. Hulk has. Iron man has. Captain America has (seeing a theme when it comes to the Avengers?).

Want to know who hasn't? Kitty Pryde. Storm. Cyclops. Actually, I don't believe *any* of the main X-men characters has aside from Wolverine and Gambit (and Gambit only briefly IIRC). They all work well as ensemble characters. As part of a team, they fit and fill out a book. As solo characters carrying a title by themselves? Not strong enough. That's why Wolverine has been the focus within the X-men franchise. Fair or not, he connects the stories and brings the money in.

Didn't they already make that?

If I ever meet you, I am going to punch you in the neck so very, very hard for telling me this.

Dear God, that was a terrible movie.

And you just had to share that experience, didn't you?

And Kitty has definitely been a pretty major character recently. Particularly with Ultimate Comics, where Wolverine is dead and she's pretty much the leader of the group.

Actually, it had the same general tone as Defendor so that part wasn't a surprise. The fact that it sucked that much was a little surprising though. Especially since you presented it as evidence for an Ellen Page superhero vehicle.

It's good, go see it. It's a good movie in its own right & its the first satisfying X flick since X-2. The action is well done & unlike first class, there isn't a huge gap between very good scenes and cheesy ones. Most of its very good and sometimes its exceptional (Quicksilver is ******* AWESOME).

You have to stay until the VERY end of ALL the credits to get a teaser of the next flick. I won't discuss spoilers yet, but it resolves the original trilogy pretty well and continues the story of the First Class characters excellently. Thumbs up.
