Used some of it to get THE WOLVERINE.
I had mixed feelings coming in to the film. X-men, X2 and First Class are all great but Brett Ratner's awful third film and the origional wolverine film were both colossal turds.
Glad to say this is more on the side of First class et al.
( I should say now I picked up the 3d release with the extended cut on it)
It's a well crafted and entertaining affair with a surprising amount of bone crunching violence as Logan heads to Japan to meet a man he saved in WW2 and gets involved in a corporate conspiracy that involves Yakuza, Ninjas and a big robot. Thor dark world was still the best superhero film of last year (followed closely by Iron man 3) but i'm hoping that this film represents a continued upturn in quality for the x-men franchise.
The fact that you have to buy the expensive 3D edition to get the extended cut is frankly disgusting though so I'm glad I bought this one second hand. Will get Thor brand new. |
Assuming you didn't have them,I would have kept the Ghibli's.
