Xmen Origins and my thoughts on the other movies

Today this shall be Xmen themed because yours truly has just scored tickest to the opening night of the new Origins movie. Now as I said in one of my previous posts I am quite looking forward to this movie due to the appearance of Gambit in the film. I personally think he's the coolest Xmen ever and am therefore going to scare everyone at the screening by squeeling loudly when he comes on screen. Yes I'm also excited about Wolverine being it the film, I enjoy Hugh Jackmans take on the character (he's also easy on the eye, which helps a lot).

The three previous movies were quite good, my favourites were the first and second, I found the final one annoying because Gambit had yet again been left out, as had Jubilee and Angel was a pointless cameo in the films. At least Gambits name came up in the second film (for those who dont know the name comes up on the screen when Mystique is stealing files from Stryker). It was also just a bit of a shitty story, mainly the lack of story. I know there was something about a cure and the Phoenix and all that, but it just didn't use the bloody characters it spent two movies uilding up (spoilers ahoy), Scott dies in the first fifteen minutes, Rougue buggers off to get the cure and Jean spens the movie being a psychotic bitch, not to mention Wolverine being a bit of a sap. About the only decent character work was from the intoduction of beast (also another one of my favourites).

Oh and I just saw the new poster for the movie Where the Wild Things Are. That being one of my favourite books as a child, I am so in to go see it. I love how many great movies are coming out this year, or at least movies based on great things. Of course there's a chance they could screw it all up, I'm still dubious about the live action Dragonball movie, but we'll just have to see. I mean James Masters as Piccolo, I don't doubt that he'd play him really well, he's jut also really short. What I'd be more worried about, well what I am worried about is that the guy playing Goku isn't even Asian. But we'll just have to wait and see how he goes eh?
