"Terrible, terrible disappointment, and NOT because Deadpool... wasn't Deadpool.
I could let the butchering of Deadpool slide if they produced a good Wolverine film about Wolverine (because that's what I expected from a Wolverine film), but the darkest days of the man's life became a schoolgirl romp and excuse for cameo mutant appearances.

That's the shorthand review.
I could go into much more detail, but this isn't a Wolverine thread.

Quick final word though:
The Wolverine film is so poor that the makers of the Deadpool SPINOFF want to totally ignore it.
Says volumes. "

"Wolverine 2 and Deadpool (though he's hardly an X-Men or regular adversary of them) are green to go.
X-Men First Class (a story about the first X-Men) is likely to happen.
X-Men Origins: Magneto may or may not happen.
Gambit could have happened, but I think that's been shelved.

FOX isn't done milking the cow yet. "

"One bad thing is they show way too much on the trailers. Most of the good parts and mystery was shown on the trailer, that killed it for me, but that was my fault. Well part of it. lol "

"Me and Akuji finally saw it today (Sunday 7th) and it was AWESOME. There were a fair few in the theatre too. All the premiere seats had been reserved, and that's saying something at this cinema. I gotta say though; John should've bloody well died, man. No way should Marcus have given his life for John. Marcus stole the film, hands down.

They better bring him back in T5 and T6, I swear to God."

"I'm not sure Terminator has this really big fan base. Oh there are Sci-Fi fans who like the first 2 movies a lot, but they're not fans of the franchise itself, and that's an important distinction. If you look at Comic Book stores or merchandise, Nerd Central, you'll see that the Terminator franchise doesn't have nearly the same footprint as Star Wars, Star Trek, the typical comic lines, etc. It's simply not as big a deal. Yes, you have T2, a blockbuster movie from James Cameron and Arnold at the height of their careers when their names carried tons of weight. But I don't see where exactly the proof that Terminator films are this big franchise with tons of fans.

Of course, TSCC is another matter. I'll bet you the vast majority of Terminator fan demand is for more of this series in some way for WB right now. It remains to be seen what they'll do with the property, but if they think they can make a good profit cheaply with TSCC, they'll do it."

"The first Terminator movie budget was 6.4 million. Amazing how ridiculous movie budgets are these days.
