Lex Luthor will also be losing his hair in Batman v Superman.

WHEN WILL HOLLYWOOD GET SOME NEW IDEAS!!!

Do we see him checking behind the sofa for it, whilst Magneto asks when he last saw it?

[Glebe]

I hold X-Men 2 (X2: X-Men United if you're a tank) up there as one of the best comic book movies. It's absolutely joyous. It has that perfect melodramatic feel of the best Claremont X-Men, and Hugh Jackman is fantastic in it.

I actually haven't seen it in years. Definitely due a watch.

Something many CaB forum members can relate to.

I thought it would be a popular spoiler.

Is Spider-Man in this? If not, why not?

And Shrek. Is he in it?

No, but Sulu almost is, I suppose.

[Bad Ambassador]

Spiderman and Tim from The Office are in the other one.

[Dr Funke]

A few, not very positive, reviews are out.

Yeah, very disappointed. After Deadpool, BvS and Civil War all being slightly disappointing, I was really hoping that Singer would show them how it was done, as he has in the past.

[Glebe]

I've just done a quick scout around via my favourites 'movies' folder... doesn't sound good. Even Empire have only given it two stars, although Harry Knowles is (surprise, surprise) very happy with it, it seems. They must have felt pretty confident previewing it so early for the critics, but that's obviously backfired. Have to say, the trailers are shite. I'll probably go and see it, but I know I won't like it. And Bryan Singer is possibly a diddler, so there's that to make you squirm.

[The Region Legion]

I'll definitely see it, if only for Wolverine and Olivia Munn's flawless-looking(at least) Psylocke, who I never thought I'd see in a feature film when I was into X-Men comics 20 years ago. What a time to be alive.

Chances of it being better than Civil War are zero, but it should be more fun than BvS.

[Dr Rock]

The Guardian give it a fairly warm review (3/5 stars). No major criticisms.

[Hollow]

They should stop making so many of these, they are running it into the ground.

I thought he wasn't in it.

They're not taking full advantage of it. The Xmen cartoon had them going into space, fighting dinosaurs and suchlike. The films have mostly just been about that one oppression metaphor. Worthy subject matter, but they could get more creative with it.

[Hollow]

I just don't know how well any of the more fantastical comics work live action, as you rightly say, they are not making the most of the concept.

But there's too many being made, it seems like about one a month.

If they'd shown some restraint, this coming backlash would take a lot longer.

What you call running into the ground, they call making the most of it.

The love for these comic book films won't last forever, so they want to make as many as they can before time runs out on it. So long as some of these films continue to please the critics and audiences, they aren't going anywhere. Deadpool and Civil War have both been huge successes. I do wonder if people will start to become more selective in the next few years, though. Maybe less willing to try new characters, or watch sequels to films that weren't so good.

[Dr Rock]

Marvel have dropped The Inhumans now. Hope you're happy Hollow, thanks a bunch.

Milking it would be another way of putting it.

I like a good superhero movie, don't get me wrong, i just worry about greed and overfamiliarity.

Soz.

Well aliens and dinosaurs both do. Perhaps it's only when Chris Pratt is involved.

No, I agree with you. I've already stopped going to see every comic book film, unless it's characters I like or a concept that really interests me. I know I love the X-Men films, so I'll give Apocalypse a try. I really liked Cap 2, so I wanted to see Civil War. I love Batman and Superman, so I went to see BvS. But Ant-Man, Dr Strange... I'm done giving these films the benefit of the doubt and finding they look and feel almost exactly the same.

[The Region Legion]

That means X-Men franchise is moving to the MCU. Guaranteed.

[Kelvin]

No, it doesn't (and that's not going to happen, unless X-Men: Apocalypse absolutely bombs, along with the upcoming Wolverine film and the next Deadpool). The Inhumans were almost certainly dropped because they feature in the Agents of Shield TV show, and there are notorious tensions between Kevin Feige, who runs the Marvel films, and the guy who runs the TV side. If anything, it suggests an Inhumans spin-off TV show might be in the works. 

[The Region Legion]

Guaranteed.

Ant-Man's actually not too bad (though I do have a man crush on Paul Rudd, admittedly), but it is basically a fairly low key comedy heist movie, and only gets really good during the final climatic (and slightly ridiculous) set piece. It's worth watching, but only if you don't pay to do so.

Guaranteed.

I'd be really surprised if that were the case as it's been a lucrative property for Fox, Marvel would have to offer them a fuck load to get it back, and even then it'd probably still be a co-production akin to the forthcoming Spiderman reboot.

[Glebe]

There are a couple of chuckles but I found it quite annoying on the whole.

[olliebean]

I thought Ant-Man was all the better for not being weighed down with loads of MCU crap, and would have been better still if it hadn't had any MCU stuff at all.
