And they didn't need to be fleshed out for me - they're kids so I think the audience wants them safe and saved instantly. s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-14681959712038967762017-03-12T12:34:01.544-04:002017-03-12T12:34:01.544-04:00That's a compliment of the highest order.

I want to see some action, and having just re-watched The Raid (and the main actor of The Raids new film, Headshot) it'll be interesting to see how effective the action is compared to those two. <br /><br />I like the sound of Wolverine as a character, I never really knew much about him. But from what I can gather, it seems that he isn't the typical superhero character, which immediately has me interested. Hell, I loved Suicide Squad just because it at least shook up the formula and had an attitude. This though... I was gonna skip it, but you've convinced me to go check it out tonight :D<br /><br />Thanks a lot mate, now I'm 15 bucks out of pocket! :P Hopefully I like it. I love Jackman and haven't seen any X-Men films, so it'll definitely be a new experience at the very leastepileptic.moondancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645198290574147035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-26351967583273012932017-03-11T15:19:03.949-05:002017-03-11T15:19:03.949-05:00I'm definitely looking forward to this movie. ...I'm definitely looking forward to this movie.

I really enjoyed this, I haven't liked an X-Men movie in so long. My biggest complaint was X-24 though. They should've just made him a separate person instead of another Logan. I actually thought for a split second they brought Liev Schriber back in the first scene he was in.

It&#...Yeah, our thoughts on this were very similar. It's a great movie and explores the idea of mutants ageing and their powers changing over time well. I think Logan's doppelganger was, as you said, a misstep; it just puts the film back into standard comic book territory and stops it reaching a little higher. The film needed muscle and X-24 provided it but I don't think they used him as effectively emotionally as they could have. X-24 could have been a moment for Logan to reminisce about his lost 'youth' and literally have to fight the savage he used to be. <br /><br />You know when the other kids came along, I thought that Logan would end up taking them under his wing in a Professor X-esque fashion. Glad the film didn't become that cliché. <br /><br />Speaking of the kids, did you notice - when they're all get their revenge on Donald Pierce - that one kid's power was the ability to control grass or whatever? Seems she could have made more of that power while fighting a bunch of people in a FOREST!

And how she was like a little girl in terms of riding the little horse and liking candy and girly sunglasses, but capable of massive violence. My main issue with the kids was there was far too many, and they seemed so slow to get organised at the end.
