X-Men: The Last Stand

Worst. Movie. Ever.

I found a reviewer who aptly described the (hopefully) final X-Men film movie as "Michael Bay's Schindler's List". Hopefully, a director of Christopher Nolan's caliber will reinvent the franchise a decade from now.

Maybe you'll finally shut the hell up about Underworld now....

And based on your Michael Bay comment I had to check IMDB just to make sure he didn't get near this thing. I'm still hoping that Transformers (A Michael Bay Film)tm will be like Armageddeon. A piece of crap yes, but a thoroughly enjoyable piece of crap. At least for me.

Last Stand is a turkey, Underworld is a drumstick.

I never saw Armagedon, and I really don't plan to. I have yet to see a film that benefitted from two-dimensional characters and shallow story structure, regardless of the awesome super-FX. I'm not sure how they could possibly top the cartoon.

Are you seriously suggesting that The Last Stand was better than Underworld? I have never claimed that UW was good, far from it. But it certainly is loads better than the contrived, ego consumed, crap fest TLS turned out to be. I can really think of no redeming value to TLS (except for maybe, "I'm the Juggernaught, bitch!" and that is beyond negligible.)

Honestly I should have known better than to start this converation with you. With others, the three forbidden subjects tend to be religion, politics and the opposite sex. You and I have just one that's movies.

"Here's a hint."

Think negative numbers: -1 > -100

Drumstick > Turkey

Underworld > X-Men: tLS

however

Demon Knight > Underworld (Suck it!)

Maybe you should switch to decaf, I wasn't slamming your precious Underworld. I'm glad you could recognize TLS as pure crap. The original storyline proposed by Brian Singer sounded pretty cool, as does the series of Whedon comics used as the basis for X-Men: tLS.

Oh I freely admit that Underworld is hardly precious (the attrocious sequel having sullied it somewhat in my mind) and just egging you on as is my nature. And though it's been years, I would probably agree with you that Demon Knight is better than Underworld (though I still hold out geek factor for a vampire/werewolf movie. Never claimed I was reasonable.) Though if we're talking horror movies (Demon Knight - Horror, Underworld - Action/Horror, The Last Stand - Horrified they actually made it the way they did) I have to throw a shout out to Alien. Shelby and I just watched it again and somethings twinge a little on the cheese-o-meter, still a finely crafted film, IMHO.
