No Dark Knight trilogy was amazing, but Bryan Singer is no Nolan. Drama has its place but superhero movies are just that superhero movies not Days of our lives.

By the way I hated the transformer movies.

I mostly agree with MilkMan. First Class is the best X-men movie to date, and Bryan Singer wasn't involved with that. I had high hopes for DOFP until I found out the last film Singer made was Jack the Giant Slayer...I still have hopes for DOFP but the odds are not stacked in it's favour.

The trailer was ok. It was exciting to actually see the film (that's how much I'm looking forward to it) but there was nothing in the trailer itself with that "WOW!" factor...except James McAvoy's acting. Man, I really just want to see McAvoy and Fasbender play Prof X and Magneto from now on. I genuinely think Patrick Stewart will need to raise his game in the Prof X role for this film.

As for The Wolverine...it was good, not as good as First Class and X2 though. I certainly wouldn't call it "raw", infact that was my biggest complaint about the film: the action is so visceral you can't help but notice every time the camera cuts away from blood or dismemberment. I found it really jarring. It's fine not having gore in say Batman or Superman because they're punching, but for some reason in The Wolverine I really noticed how hard they tried to get the 12 rating. Really wish they could make a 18 rated version.
