Yet more X-Men

[sophia_sol]

Because sentientcitizen has an unfathomable idea that one should actually watch the complete canon of a given fandom, and because I've been watching X-Men under her aegis, tonight she and I watched X3 together. Even though she does not actually like it, and it's generally accepted to be a bad movie. Even though I feel no such compulsion. But who am I to say no?

And, okay, here are the redeeming features of the movie:
1. Listening to Essie snark at the screen a ridiculous amount
2. Watching Kitty be awesome
3. Seeing how devastated Magneto looked when Charles died.

I'm not even going to try to catalogue all the problems I had with the movie, though, because they are innumerable.

Essie does say though, that despite her thing for completeness, she does not feel the need to make me watch Wolverine: Origins, or whatever the heck that one was called. Although apparently it would be even more fun for merciless mocking! So, who knows. I may or may not see that one at some point. She doesn't own it on DVD though, so it's less likely.

ETA: Apparently upon further consideration, the importance of completeness nags at Essie enough that we have to watch the Wolverine movie. *laughs* So I guess that's going to happen at some point!

CANONICAL COMPLETENESS IS IMPORTANT. SHUT UP. IT'S TRUE.

(I will watch all of Doctor Who or die trying. The latter is appalling likely, all things considered.(

YOU CRACK ME UP. ♥

This is why I can never watch a single episode of Doctor Who. If I did, I'd be doooooooomed.

The Wolverine movie is one of the best movies to happen to my life, not gonna lie.

[sophia_sol]

Best in what way? I am so curious now!

[feverbeats]

So, okay, it's a really, really awful movie. Very silly. But I enjoyed it so much that I watched it like four times. The beginning is actually excellent, and I wish the whole movie had been about the characters in the first twenty minutes or so. And the fandom was fantastic. idk, it was just such a fun, awful film.

[sophia_sol]

AWESOME. So at least watching it won't be something to dread, then!

You're going to have to read a lot of comics to catch up on all that canon. *g*

Oh lord, even I'm not THAT crazy.

I still think Wolverine was just silly, rather than rage-inducing. Mind, it's only really enjoyable if you like Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber running around half naked beating each other up. But it didn't piss me off the way X3 did.

Silly is a good thing! Especially since, yeah, X3 was full of stuff that was Upsettingly Wrong.
