Went to see Wolverine with the family. It was... well. It was epic. With the man!pain, and the cliched cinematography, and the cliched writing (I should *not* be able to say half Logan's lines along with him on the first viewing.). Just... think of every man!pain epic you've ever seen/read, and remember what happens to the girl/black dude/asian dude/old couple. Yeah. Boring and skeevy and unintentionally hilarious.

Also, I totally failed at playing spot the mutant - Emma Frost? Missed her *completely.*

On the other hand, unexpected Deadpool is unexpected! I somehow missed that he'd be in the movie and might have spent the first ten minutes of the film chanting Wadewadewadewadewade! not so quietly under my breath. If Wolverine opens up a chance for a Deadpool movie, it will have been so worth it.

Additional notes:

* I revise, a *decent* Deadpool movie. Which, upon reflection, I do not trust them to make.

* Gambit did not get to blow enough shit up.

* All those (cliched) narrative threads left loose at the end of the movie? Totally fucked by X-men 3. Just sayin'.

* There is a scene at the end of the credits, but it's not worth it (I was hoping for Waaaaaaaade).

* Had to give my sister a brief Rogue/Gambit info dump (she hadn't realized they were ever a couple) - her boyfriend was bouncing around going Remyremyremyremy while I was doing my Wade schtick, adorable.

* Although, wow, there's got to be a... 15 year? At least? Age difference between Rogue and Gambit in the movie-verse. At least we know she likes older men...
