Came flying off my Netflix list at the recommendation of my mom. I did cry at the end. I couldn't believe how much the same Wilson from House M.D. looks in the movie (he plays a student).
OMG... I was semi watching that the other day. I need to get this to watch it properly. I hear it is amazing.

The Haunting of Molly Hartley.
The ending stank, supremely. I think the storyline had a bunch of potential, but it wasn't utilized in the best way - they left the ending open for a sequel; so it stank.

Blindness
I loved it.
At parts, it was extremely disturbing - but I loved the storyline.

Yeah, if you don't cry at the end... you're emotionally challenged.

X-Men Origins : Wolverine
As much as I love Hugh Jackman wearing a leather jacket and riding a motorbike with coiffed hair, I am scared for life.
They could have done so much more with Gambit and I seriously think they have ruined two of my favourite Marvel Characters.

Oh Deadpool.....
I actually did like Ryan Reynolds even though he's on for like 10 minutes max.

I think they should make the whole superheroes thing darker like what they did with Batman and with Watchmen... so much better and "believable". The current X-Men franchise is too kiddish.

Especially in the previous X-Men flick... I mean come on... when Wolverine goes up there to talk to Pheonix, everything tears off him except his shorts. What the?

Loved that movie. When the girl got white hair though, I thought she reminded me of that white haired girl in "The Incredibles".

To be very honest, Marvel never really seemed like it could be taken seriously even if it did ever try and make their comic book movies darker. The characters can be so farfetched that it becomes difficult to translate them realistically on screen, so I guess they are sort of stuck making sucky movies.

If Deadpool and Gambit had more prominent roles then my opinion would probably be a bit different.
I still want Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool though. Perfect casting :)

Gambit didn't get as much airtime as I thought he should have had, and I don't think he was brooding enough. Also, the diamond skin girl, I would have liked to see more of her in action.

Watchmen had many aspects that were farfetched but the director translated it amazingly onto screen. I hear they're also re-making the Fantasitc Four to be darker as well due to the success of Watchmen.

I never really got an opinion on the casting of Ryan Renolds as I am not as familiar with the character of deadpool as I am with say Wolverine or Gambit. Ryan was great in the film however. (Although I do tend to think that he plays the same character with quirky humour over and over again.)

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

It was ridonculous. Like ridiculous, but a little more silly. Sure, it was pleasing to the eyes and I was able to suspend my disbelief to some degree, but honestly! Helicopters don't blow up twice! There were just too many holes to mock the movie nonstop. Strangest of all, I'm most upset at what they did with Deadpool, who is perhaps one of the most favorite characters of the Marvel universe. Hopefully they do come out with his own movie, cause for someone THAT big they gave him such a small role.

Again, still enjoyed it, but I find myself being critical all the same. Maybe that's why it's good, cause it makes me laugh?

I just saw the Wolverine movie too. Thought it was great, and I loved it. Then again, I have hardly any discrimination in anything involving Marvel, I just love anything Marvel. :)

They weren't too faithful to the comics were they? Crystal girl and Wolverine's ex aren't suppose to be related and Gambit's screen time was brief. Flying cards? I don't remember Gambit being able to do that...
