    I did like the last movie, though, and it reversed a lot of the crappiness of the other ones. It didn't help the character that those other movies blew.
    That isnt Jackman that is the character. Wolverine is a one note character beloved because he is a *****.

      This. I hated him in the comics long before I hated him on the screen.

        I'll take your word for it. But there are a-hole characters who are great to root for. Jackman drags his fatuous fake working class martyred pathos into all his work, from X Men to Les Mis. What if Bruce Springsteen took acting lessons from Clint Eastwood to portray Anne Frank? Blech.

          This sounds like a horrible WWII era Mrs. Doubtfire remake.

            The Duel:
            A Texas Ranger investigates a series of unexplained deaths in a town called Helena.

            Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson star in the period piece (late 1800s). I thought it was a very good character study, nice suspense, good balance of all views involved. Alice Braga (Queen Of The South) is also in it, and she continues to impress me as an actress. I would recommend seeing this one.

                  Didnt you say you havent seen an X-Men film since X-Men: The Last Stand? Of course this would be better than that (that movie was awful)

                  Glad you liked it though I am seeing it Wednesday cause I aint paying.

                      I finally was able to get my buddy to go see Endgame. (he just had a second kid and runs 2 businesses so time is not his friend) He loved it, I thought it was pretty good but way too long and the ending kind of annoyed me. That said it was a good ending for the series and certain characters...even though it totally left a wide open hole for them to come back in future films. (which is then backed up in the trailer for Spidey) We had fun though MST3king over some of the long drawn out parts and some of the grownworthy stuff.

                      On that note my buddy is a huge Spidey guy but he is NOT looking forward to that film. Makes me sad but I will still get him there He literally yelled during the Star Wars trailer about how awful that looks and even if I buy he wont go to that sadly.

                      Anyways Endgame gets an 8 out of 10...would have been a 9 if it was about 30 minutes shorter and if Hawkeye had been erased from existence

                        We went to see Rocketman yesterday and thought it was(captain)fantastic. see what I did there? Went in thinking it was going to be a biopic type Bohemian Rhapsody but the curve they threw was Koufax mesmerizing. Taron Egerton played played Elton Hercules John, sang, and did a spot on job.

                          I've seen bits and pieces of the other ones. Logan was the only one that was any good and I ****ing hate Wolverine so............... I really did like it. My buddy did not like it as much but his girlfriend did. He ripped me and said the only reason I liked it so much is because Wolverine wasn't in it. LOL.

                            A local reviewer (Star Tribune) said the movie was more of "what it FELT like" being Elton John, rather than the straightforward biopic.
