Sorry I couldn't think of a proper pun, my mind is somewhere else. That's probably why I didn't hate the movie as much as I could have, but I'm working on it. I debated whether or not I should see this film. I see movies all the time. I see bad movies all the time. Put knowingly paying good money to see a bad movie just after you've been laid off by your employer was one hell of a conundrum. That's why there's no review of Fighting because I've seen Lionheart and I don't want to pay money for a bad rehash of that movie unless Van Damme is in it and he wasn't. Sorry for getting off topic. I decided what the hell and went to the Sunday matinee showing which knocked the ticket price to $8.50 (yea?). There will be spoilers:
As I've told everyone who's asked me about it in person so far, it's an alright movie as long as you don't think about it too hard. The minute you apply the most rudimentary logic, it falls apart. How can a guy with kitana blades up his arms bend them? FAIL! Why would Gambit stop the guy he wants dead from being killed? FAIL! How did the scientists figure out how to turn laser eyes on and off when the mutant they stole the power from has never done so in his entire life? FAIL! If you want to see the most predictable action movie that will probably come out this summer AND you have never picked up an X-Men related comic book within the last 15 years "just to see what all the fuss was about" then you may enjoy it. Oh and you have to like predictable movies too. Or if you're capable of turning off your brain for 2 hours and not thinking about what you're seeing, you may enjoy it. Usually I can do the latter, but even I had to throw in the towel.
I know this isn't an objective review therefore I won't give it a score. Maybe it's because I know I could have used that money to buy a bag of chicken and feed myself for a week with it. Star Trek is out in a couple days. Hopefully my it's worth a bag of rice and some canned soup.
