Introduction

So you've stumbled upon this blog and you're probably wondering what you're in for? No? Well I'm going to give you what might be the most in depth review of the X-Men movies of all time. You're Welcome. I'm not some crazy obsessive X-Men fanboy. I like the comics well enough but have not read that many of them and I enjoyed the 90's cartoon when I was a kid. I'm simply a guy who likes movies and wanted to do a scene by scene review of a movie as an intellectual exercise. Just to see what I can learn by watching movies very closely and breaking that shit down. I chose the X-Men movies because:

1)There's a shit ton of them. 6 and counting. I won't be running out of material anytime soon.
2)There isn't a masterpiece among them. This would be a pretty boring exercise if every scene my analysis boiled down to OMG that was A-MAZE-ING!
3)They run the gamut from very good to very bad. This should be more educational for me.
4)Even the bad ones are entertaining enough. I'm no masochist.

Enjoy.

I like the tag line on this poster. Trust A Few/Fear The Rest. Given that X-Men is often read as an allegory for racism, I think its kind of awesome that the anti-progressive message of this poster is: trust some minorities, but fear most of them.
