We’ve arranged for a babysitter and got tickets to go see X-Men tonight. I’ve liked the X-Men characters since I was a little kid: I would rush home after school to watch the cartoons and I read through a few huge trade paperbacks of the comics someone gave us one summer. (I also read a big collection of the Silver Surfer comics that summer but that is neither here nor there.)
I didn’t really like the last X-Men movie but this one has a different director and I’m hoping it will be better. From what I know this movie already has a few things in its favor:
1. Daniel Henney as Agent Zero (Cute AND half-Korean!)
2. And Taylor Kitsch from Friday Night Lights (which you really should watch if you haven’t already. Really. It’s a great show and it’s not all about football.) Kitsch is playing Gambit who is one of the later X-men characters and not really one of my favorites. But I’m really hoping he’ll pull it off well. I just hope he doesn’t do a bad creole accent.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
You likely know this by now, but: this movie was pretty terrible. SNIKT!
Dude, you are right. Gwyn was pretty excited about seeing Hugh Jackman’s toned little butt, though.
It sucked…except for that part, which made me SNIKT my pants.
So many scenes were so corny, especially the Professor X scene at the end. It would have been better not to try and make the actor look like Patrick Stewart. It was so awkward.
