Thread: Wolverine:X-Men Origins vs Watchmen

I just saw Wolverine:X-Men Origins. I really enjoyed the movie. They put all their budget in the right places. You care about the characters. It was funny and entertaining. It is one of the best prequals, if not the best prequal I have seen. If you watch this movie and then watch the first X-Men movie you'd feel like you are watching a 4 hour movie. It blends so well.

I enjoyed it much more than Watchmen. A movie about a bunch of losers that you don't care about, whose actions matter jack shit in the end. The only good part about Watchmen was the girl getting fooked inside the Wall-E spaceship.

I thought X-Men 3 went a bit over the top and I am glad the frachise is back like this. Very good.

Really? I've heard nothing but bad things about this. Might check it out. Although you did say that you thought X3 went a bit over the top. X3 was a travesty against cinema.

X-men Origins: Magneto and X-men First class are in the works!

It's not a masterpiece for sure, but a better time at the cinema than Watchmen.
We didn't have anyone from the first fims other than Wolverine, and when Prof. X shows up at the end, he looks much younger.

If anyone was critizising it on the net it was probably fan boys who wanted to see people running around in XMAN suits and flying in their spaceship.
Basically, its a story about 2 brothers and ot focuses on the experiments being done by the Military in that underground bunker we see on XMEN 2.
It is a lower budget film, smaller in scope, but done very well.
Next it will be: Terminator Salvation.

I loved both movies. I was pleasantly suprised at how good The Watchmen turned out to be.

Both were very entertaining, and kept me wanting to know more. Good stuff.
