Massive X-Men Movie Talk

Ever since X-Men, there has been alot of sequels. So far, there is the trilogy, two prequels and more to come.

FILMS OUT!
X-Men 2000
X2: X-Men: United 2003
X3: X-Men: The Last Stand 2006
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2009
X-Men: First Class. 2011

Also, Wolverines Origin story is getting a sequel. As well as a new origins story, Deadpool is getting his own origin story, Deadpool origin story is going to begin filming in 2012, so im guessing its going to be a 2013 release, or maybe late 2012.

Deadpool may be called just, Deadpool, or, X:Men Origins: Deadpool.

Also, First Class is the first of a brand new trilogy, hurray for that one! But wait, another is still coming, X-Men 4 is still going to be made, whenever, but wait, X4 is going to lead into X5, im guessing there going to film back to back? Guess we'll find out in the years to come, or maybe later this year, who knows.

Films to come!
X-Men: First Class 2 (confirmed)
X-Men: First Class 3 (confirmed)
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 (confirmed)
X-Men Origins: Deadpool (confirmed)
X-Men Origins: Gambit (maybe)
X-Men Origins: Storm (maybe)
X-Men Origins: Magneto (cancelled) 
X-Men 4 (confirmed)
X-Men 5 (confirmed)

8 to come and 5 already out, total of 13, and who knows how many more there going to announce.

I did hear they planned to do a origins story of, Magneto, but since First Class is out, they did a back story on him, wasn't very big, but good enough to give you a origin story.

So lets see, that's 5 more X-men movies to come im guessing every 2 or so years. Starting with, wolverine 2, or what I've heard there calling it is just, The Wolverine.

I think it's safe to say, that with all of these X-Men movies, there will be a beginning and a end, just took a long time.

So within the next like 10 years, keep a look out for a lot, of X-Men movies!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Finally, the origin story of wolverine!

We meet Logan, who is around 8 when he first discovers he was bone claws. Logan and his brother Victor run away from home, and the two stay together through many wars. Somewhere around the Vietnam War, Logan decides to leave the group of special mutant group that, Stryker made. Years pass and Stryker comes and finds Logan to say the old team is dying off, and we can help you, he then gets his metal claws, he escapes the lab to figure out that Victor is killing everyone and now it's the two brothers face off, only to fight, Weapon XI.

Another awesome prequel, with Deadpool, Blob, Gambit, John Wraith. Effects for once weren't as great as previous films, but hey, we get to see Wolverine face off against Weapon XI.

Acting was decent, everyone did a nice job at there parts. I did wish that, Gambit had a bigger role, he was only in the film for all of around 10mintes, if that.

It would of also been nice to see,  Brian Cox return as Stryker, would be been a better tie in, but, he didn't, so we had to see, Danny Huston as him, which was fine, he did a pretty good job, but Brian's version was a little big better.

I was kind of surprised at how long it took to make an origin film, almost 10 years since the first film, but better later than never. It did satisfy my need to know the origin of Wolverine without actually reading the comics.

This film is one to be seen, espcially if your a fan of the other X-Men films.

I Give, X-Men Origins: Wolverine _ 6/10_

X-Men

Yes, I know, this isn't going in order, but. It'll happen.

Opens with Erik being separated from his mother, only to discover he has the power to manipulate metal. We see Jean Grey giving a speech to some form of government type, saying Mutants are safe, only to be criticized by, Senator Robert Kelly. Rogue ends up running away from home to go on a road trip to Canada only to run into Wolverine, to end up running into Sabretooth with ended with, Storm and Cyclops saving them and taking them back to, Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, where Wolverine joins the, X-Men, in saving NY from Magneto from giving everyone mutant powers.

This film is just great. You have a very good list of Actors/Actresses, portraying a very awesome Mutant/Villain or whoever.

For the film being released in mid 2000, it has some pretty good effects, means a bigger budget, Loved it when Wolverine showed off his claws, and with Storm doing her storm powers. Seeing Cyclops use his power for the first time on the big screen was pretty epic.

This does mark the first time X-Men made it to the big screen, sources date that, X-Men was brought up in 1989 to be made film, then kept being pushed till sometime 1998. Film turned out so good, that it spawned a bunch of sequels and prequels.

This film is pretty epic, and if you haven't already seen it ( I saw this 4 times in the theater ) then you should  go and see it, especially if you like Marvel, or X-Men, or both.

I give _X-Men_ 8/10

X-Men: First Class

Here I bring you (Chronologically) the first X-Men movie.

In the start it opens in 1944 and we meet Erik who is only around 14, his mother is taken from him and we find that he has powers, ( which is almost the same opening as in the first X-men movie) and then a scientist, Sebastian Shaw who takes him and helps him make his power stronger, meanwhile, we see Charles Xavier who is around 9 who meets Mystique and the two become friends. Cut to around 20 years later, Charles meets up with an FBI agent to find these "special people" and then he meets Erik for the first time, and the two hook up to track other mutants. They have a small group of kids who have awesome abilities such as, Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy who is Beast, Sean Cassidy who is, Banshee, Alex Summers is Havok. Then we see an epic end battle where some long awaited questions are answered.

First thing's first. This prequel, was simply. Amazing. Had a fantastic storyline that finally answered some questions most people have had from the beginning.


Also had some pretty impressive CGI, epically with Havok and Beast. Acting couldn't of been better, I loved who portrayed Erik and Charles, but younger. They looked very similar to the older ones, and just did a good job at it. During the film, we also got to see almost a softer side of Erik, since before he met Charles, he was on the hunt for revenge, can't say why though, to much of a spoiler.

Seeing Erik use his power for good was nice for a change, also Charles helped him develop his power even stronger to point where he can lift a Submarine. Which was pretty epic looking on the big screen.

The only downfall I saw with this film was, that Emma Frost was in it, which was great, but she was like 30 kinda old. Since in X-Men Origins we saw Emma when she was like 16 and it took place after this film, so that didn't really make much sense, kept thinking perhaps is the mother, but it's not.

I was just very impressed with this movie, I've loved the series since I saw the first one, and this did not fail at all, if you love the X-Men, just what are you waiting for? See it!

I give, X-men: First Class. _9/10_
