I've never been a big X-Men fan but I think every trailer I've seen looks amazing. This feels like what Snyder wanted Affleck's Batman to be. Seems like several reviewers so far think this is the best comic-book related movie since The Dark Knight. That's pretty high praise. [Reply]

Yep...I'm a big Wolverine fan and love Hugh Jackman as him. This will be the best I'm sure. Got my tickets for imax [Reply]
How do you guys not like X Men? Maybe they weren't so big in the 70s when most of you were growing up, I guess..
I grew up with that 90s animated series. Like most things 90s it hasn't aged for shit but damned if it doesn't define my childhood. And dat theme song doe.
X Men was always in my top 3 along with Batman. Then the Raimi Spider-Man flicks came out and Spidey took over. [Reply]
They're so diverse too. So many characters and abilities to choose from. I don't even give a shit about probably more than half the people who have suited up as an X Man, but Wolverine, Gambit, and Nightcrawler are awesome. Cyclops can be cool sometimes though he's too straight edge. Magneto is a fucking badass. Apoc, Juggernaut, and sentinels are awesome villains.

I hated that X Men cartoon for one reason alone. I swear it felt like 95% of the times it aired on Saturday morning it was a damn rerun. First, they loaded it up with tons of commercial breaks and so by the end of the show it felt like it was about 10 minutes long. The upcoming episode preview felt like it was about a quarter in length of the episode you just watched. I can't stress enough how much that show's airing of new episodes sucked!!! [Reply]

If you start reading the X-Men with the "Mutant Massacre" and follow through to about 2006 you'll love them.
I really wish they would have made a movie out of the their time in Australia after Roma revived them.
They couldn't be detected by technology (cameras, night vision, heart monitor, etc) and they went on the offensive. [Reply]
