Anyway, I still enjoy X2, it's a fun movie. The problem was that they were well aware of Wolverine's popularity, so they made the movies about him, even when he wasn't part of the plot or originally a bit player in the original story.
I like Wolverine as much as the next guy, but the more interesting stories concerning Nightcrawler and Angel and his father were put on the sidelines to have 2 more Wolverine films disguised as X-Men films, and that's where my anger with the film series stems from.

That is probably the first and only decent criticism I've seen of the franchise. Well done, you.

Just watched the Iron Giant and teared up at the end like I always do. Such a fantastic film.

The things I'd give for a Super Robot Chogokin style figure.

That'd be a cool figure to have.
I'd also like to get a figure of it in it's attack mode, just because I like the design.

This. This. A thousand times this. When Origins: Wolverine first came out, I was like "Oh, so they're making origin movies for a good bunch of the X-Men. I'm down with that."

Then not even every other X-Men had their "origins" just lumped together between First Class and, of course, Wolverine's own Origins movie.

This wouldn't even bother me so much if this was a franchise that wasn't the damn X-Men. Avengers gave all of it's members several movies because the Avengers, above all else, were meant to be solitary. They didn't start as The Avengers, they started as Captain America, Iron Man, etc. But the X-Men are supposed to be a team, and when you give one member more movies than Thor(I know he has a sequel coming, but it isn't out yet, so eh), and skip out on all the other characters, well, that just grinds my gears.

And then they pointlessly and awkwardly force Jean into the Wolverine for no reason...

Not surprised in the least.

... I actually liked X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I felt they did a really nice job of tying the movie in with the rest of them, minus a few hiccups here and there. "The Deadpool" was stupid, though.

First Class is easily the best of the X-Men movies.

I actually disliked First Class the more I watched it, it was like with each watch the cracks from the movies troubled production seemed to grow. I mean it's still a good movie, certainly better than Origins and The Wolverine, but I still don't think it's as good as the core three.
