...the preview was good. Emma looked awesome too. I don't...like I like the NEW Sabertooth more, but like...he's so far from the OLD Sabertooth IDK how they're going to explain it. Or if they'll just be like "...lol, wut?"

Oh yeah, the movie we went to see....

I actually really enjoyed it. I thought Keanu Reeves was REALLY good in the role. I have heard some critics go on about his emotionlessness, but...uh...that was the point. (Also, the critic who was like "The reason he was on Earth was never explained!!!" is retarded. Like. Really.)

Jennifer Connolly was fucking gorgeous and I REALLY liked her character. Everyone else was pretty good (Particularly Kathy Bates and John Cleese. Jayden Smith wavered, but kids can get away with that)

The special effects were awesome, the visuals and the filmography....drool worthy.

I also really liked that everyone in the movie like...even though they all had conflicting goals everything everyone did made sense for them.

ALSO WTF THEY WERE IN THE SAME "SHIT WERE GONNA DIE" BRIDGE AS CLOVERFIELD.

We also attempted to watch Tropic Thunder. I was disappointed. But my $1 red box fee was ttly worth Tobey Maguire's smirk.

Also, this twat on DA is pissing me the fuck off. No, you dating my friend does NOT give you the right to mock that friend's gender reassignment process. FUCK OFF.

Honestly this Sabretooth looks more like the actual comic book sabretooth than the one from the first movie. You have to remember Sabretooth is about 150 years old or so.

I know, but he looks nothing like the one in the previous movies, and it fucks that alternate universes continuity...like not just the change in actor but the whole change in looks and feel. Hopefully they explain it some way.

Not really. Because this takes place in the past. All they have to do is bring in the "secondary mutation" storyline that turned the Beast from a gorilla looking thing into a kitty looking thing, and gave people stupid new powers that didn't make sense.

See in this one, Sabretooth is a military man. He's actually working with people and keeps himself finely tuned. By the time X-MEN 1 comes around he's been living alone as a savage in the wilds of Canada for decades, barely seen another living person. Devolved into more beast than man.

Wolverine hasn't changed much as he's always been around people, he's never let himself give fully into the beast within. So his struggle to be "normal" or live life like a regular human keeps him from reverting to a beast like creature as Sabretooth did.

It's pretty simple, IF they even want to bother dealing with it. But you know the X-MEN movies don't count now. Even this Wolverine film doesn't really "count" as it's not being done by Marvel Studios ala Hulk and Iron Man, it's still under the auspices of 20th Century Fox.

So the ENTIRE X-MEN franchise is being retconned into the "X-MEN:First Class" series being written by one of the writers on Gossip Girls, and it'll focus on the original 5 X-MEN, no Wolverine, no Storm, no one who was in the last 3 films.

It'll be a younger cast too. No more of these late 30's actors, it's terrible for if you are attempting to make a trilogy 2 or 3 years apart.

I have heard some critics go on about his emotionlessness,

Have they NEVER seen the original?! like Klaatu was pretty much like "I want to see your president. What? You wont let me? *shrugs* You're world will end just to let you know. Bye y'all" [/movie]

I'm pretty sure it tells you in the preview why he was there...
