During the weekend, a cable company here in Asia ( Star TV - part of the Murdoch group) had an XMEN special. The five XMEN movies were shown in a marathon screening of the series.
:o :o :o
I did watch the first four ( from XMEN to Origins:Wolverine) but decided to call it a day after seeing the cameo in First Class!
I have never done anything of the sort before - LOL!
*I have begun to appreciate more and more that the series is not at all like many comic book/action blockbusters. There is a continuing saga-like thread that ties in the movies well together. The acting of the major cast is also very good all throughout the series ( hey, we have Oscar winners Halle B and Anna P, Oscar nominee Ellen Page, legendary actors like Ian M and Patrick S, stage actors like Liev and Alan Cumming). And I do love the haunting musical scores for all!
*One thing that stuck in my mind is how consistent Hugh's acting was in all 4 major movies where he led the film. The character of Wolverine was consistently portrayed.
*I thought he really stood out in that cameo in First Class because he seemed to be the only mature and classy performer, among the many fairly young actors ( except for Fassbender, who I also did not realize when I first saw the movie is not a very tall actor when compared to Hugh).
*I have no doubts that any other actor would or could have given the film Wolverine such a strong persona, as he did in this movie series.
*The Japanese saga will be quite a departure from the rest of the series.
