X-Men Origins Impresses

Took a break from painting sun catchers and cross stitching to check out what Comcast is telling me is news.  Blagojevich, blah blah, Ellen and Britney sings carols, Tom Cruise isn’t nutty anymore, new X-men movie?  There’s something actually interesting.

Heard about this one, supposedly has Wolverine teaming up with Gambit to take on Deadpool, and based on the video I like.  X-men 3 had it’s moments, few and far, but it had it’s moments.  Two was all right…the first one was the best,  but again only in moments.  I guess you could describe the whole series by saying: “Special effects and nostalgia do not an epic movie make.”

I had to look up Deadpool because I’ve never been a big comic buff, my dad was really into Marvel and mostly Spider-man (got my sister into SuperBall…who changed drastically into Penance semi-recently.  I liked Ghost Rider back then as in typical male fashion skulls, motorcycles, chains, and fire are all badass.  I was also much younger then, but I still defend my appreciation to the guy, something the makers of the movie sharing his name certainly did NOTdo.)…that was a long run on.  Anyway, Deadpool sounds like he’s pretty cool.  Gambit looked a hell of a lot like a mix of a My Chemical Romance music video spliced with Clockwork Orange and a mop of hair.  Also I thought this guy was French?  Didn’t sound like it/didn’t show him enough to know in one watching of the preview.  But all in all the preview did it’s job; I’m interested in seeing the movie when it comes out.
