Situations like this are the few times I’ll accept celebs bashing a film. Usually I don’t like celebs calling some of their work “shitty” cause I think it’s ungrateful or obnoxious (especially because it’s not the Oscar-nominated stuff).

But cases like this where people are being purposely mislead and tricked into signing up for are up for criticism! Absolute dirty play!! I’m surprised you can’t sue for something like this??

Good for him! His X-Men movies weren’t perfect but they’re still my favorites.
