That's the summer movie I've been looking forward to most, so I'm glad it's so well-received.

So everything I've read about, which basically said it's way better than X Men 3 and Wolverine, is true?

I think most of the good press is due to the smokeshow that is Jennifer Lawrence.

I was going to skip this film in theaters and wait for the DVD release, as The Last Stand and Wolverine soured my interest in the films. This, however, is making me curious to see it sooner rather than later. Here's hoping the positive buzz keeps up.

I was in the same boat, plus I wasn't sure how the cast could fare well in a movie this scale. Glad to know that I seem to be mistaken. |

{Spoiler}Why would Hugh Jackman have a cameo? Wolverine would most likely still be in Tokyo if they're following a specific timeline. |

Wolverine would most likely still be in Tokyo if they're following a specific timeline. {Spoiler}From what I was told, Xavier and Magneto approach Wolverine in a bar to join the X-Men and he completely blows them off. As to where this takes place, I'm not sure. |

Aren't all the early reviews for these type of films fanboys and various low rent review sites? Usually the top dogs don't review the film until a day or 2 before release date.
I seem to remember Thor having a great % early on too.

To be fair, that character only went to diamond form and fanboys assumed it was Emma, I don't think she was billed as Emma, and certainly wasn't called it in the film as far as I can remember. So that could easily be retconned away. {Spoiler}As for the cameo, supposedly, from Jackman - which isn't confirmed, it could just as easily be old Magneto and/or Xavier - that could be nice and easily explain as Wolverine loses his memory so often that he could easily have met these guys before and just forgot them |

We got our first Rotten review... And it's not from Armond.

Spose I should spoiler this. {Spoiler}Indeed, he doesn't get weapon x'd until the 70s, meanwhile in this time 60s he'd be chillin post ww2 pre vietnam. So i'm fine with a cameo. {Spoiler}Going by this timeline, meanwhile japan could happen in the 80s |

See this commercial for Wolverine for proof. |
