I rented all of the X-Men movies last night. I have developed a small affection for James Marsden after seeing Hairspray, Enchanted and 27 Dresses, and I wanted to see him in more movies. I checked out his filmography on IMDb to see what else he's done that I can rent and he has been in a lot of things. And a lot of them I have already seen without feeling overly crushy or smitten with him. Even The Notebook. That movie is all about Ryan Gosling for me.
I wasn't in the mood for romance or comedy...it was an action/sci fi/fantasy night through and through. I had a lot to choose from in those categories since it looks like he does a lot of Superhero movies. I've never seen anything in the X-Men series and they keep making movies. Clearly someone thinks they're good.
During my research on IMDb, I saw a question posed by someone on a message board. They asked; Girls? Cyclops or Wolverine? In my mind, I scoffed. Easy answer. Cyclops, who is played by James Marsden, of course. Hugh Jackman is Wolverine and he has never done anything for me.
So I rented all 3 movies and watched the first 2 last night. About halfway through the first movie, I realized how wrong I was. Wolverine is the man! Cyclops is pretty and all but Wolverine ...hello!
The movies are good. I had no idea what to expect and I was entertained. I have them for a week and am not sure when I'll get around to the 3rd movie. Hopefully soon. I've enjoyed the first two. The second more than the first so that's a pretty good pattern to be on, if it lasts.
I'll let you know.
Cyclops is way too pretty and boring. And he's too young for Jean Gray. Wolverine rocks but I'm for Mystique all the way!
