Chindie Posted March 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2016 JK Simmons has been cast as Commissioner Gordon in Justice League. Brilliant actor, but I just don't see him as Gordon. He'll forever be J Jonah Jameson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The joys of parenthood mean I got to see Kung Fu Panda 3 yesterday. more of the same really , if you didn't like the other 2 then don't bother going to see this one ... Killed a few hours and made me chuckle , no killer gags though like "stealth mode " but a few decent visual gags but The joke has worn a bit thin now though so much as I like the characters , no more please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 London has Fallen is probably the most ridiculous thing ever to come out in the cinema. Entertaining but not in a good way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst is probably the line from Storm when Toad is electrocuted. Absolutely awful. Yep that's the one. To this day I still don't understand what they were even attempting with that line. Dreadful film, and for me the sequel was as bad if not worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're literally the only person I've ever seen that thinks Xmen 2 on a par with, let alone worse, than 1, I think you'd be in an exceptionally small minority on that point :). As I said it's generally considered as one of the better comic book adaptations there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2016 Well it's a while since I've seen it. All I know is I hated XMen 1, and was assured XMen 2 was better and that would get me in the mood for watching more of the XMen films. By the time I'd finished 2 I'd seen enough to know that I wasn't going to watch anymore XMen films. Maybe it is better than 1, but it was still crap, and it's nowhere near the better comic book films out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 X-Men are watchable but I think they take itself way too serious. They tried change it up with First Class in fairness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Whedon was credited with it, which I think can only mean he was having a bad day or drunk at the time he wrote it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted March 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2016 2 is a very good movie imo. I think it sits behind days of future past as the best of all of them. I'd probably go: Days of Future Past > 2 > First Class > 1 > The Wolverine > Wolverine (Origins) > 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is awful, but I reserve an extra layer of loathing for 3 as it destroyed all the good work that 2 had done. (although I did laugh my tiny tits off at Vinnie Jones character because it was just soooo bad) Edited March 8, 2016 by Designer1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the good ideas in it are dreadfully implemented. The new one I expect to settle in ahead of First Class but I'll be surprised if it's any better than that. It might be the first movie in the franchise to have a credible villain that isn't Magneto, which could help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
