I agree totally with the review. I have been an Uncanny X-men fan since the beginning with a collection starting at 190-present. The Chris Claremont era are the best stories an that includes the introduction of Gambit. Where the F is Gambit’s cajun accent in the movie??! How the hell does he get knocked out so easily and then why would he get up and run to the top of the building for some ground slam. Where is Logan’s character development. He’s the same person in origins as he is in the X-men movies. It’s just dumb things like this that really ruins a classic comic book and pisses me off!

It’s meeeeeee!

As far as Deadpool being Weapon XI, that’s semi-okay, as he did come from the Weapon X program. So what if they decided to add boost the program up a notch…now what they did with Deadpool, yes, that was beyond stupid.

With every horrible Marvel movie I see, I just remember the panel at Con I saw where Marvel apologized and said they have little control over their films…which if that is the truth is horrible. Sure they make a lot of money, fanboys still flock to the films leaving with sour tastes in their mouths. Blah blah blah blah blah….bye!

OMG, that was hilarious to read! From the opening fool line, I was laughing all the way through. I went into the theater knowing nothing about Xmen that didn’t appear in the previous movies. I thought Summers had no business being in this movie other than to pull people like me who like him to see the movie. I never thought of it till you mentioned it, but the same could be said of the Cajun. I still have no idea what his abilities entail and what everyone loves about him and I was hoping to find that out in this movie. Yeah, didn’t happen.

It was more than the lack of screen time. Gambit was unimpressive for me. Hey, I’m a huge Gambit fan, too. He’s one of my favorite X-Men. I was excited when I heard Kitsch got the part because I knew he would be able to pull it off. However, Gambit’s role in the film was insignificant and silly. They could have replaced him with a different character and it would have been the exact same thing. It was an attempt to legitimize the film by throwing in one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel universe and forcing him into the film despite no necessity to do so.

I disagree that Kitsch was successful. He only looked the part, and didn’t come off as charming at all. He lacked Gambit’s swagger. But as I like to say with movies – to each his/her own.

Gambit a let-down? maybe for you, I’ve been a Gambit fan for more than 13 years and he was one of the few things I enjoyed, it’s obvious they just threw Gambit in this movie to please fans and he had no development, but even with a 10 minute role he managed to go beyond looking the part to truly give him life, he’s a character the movies didn’t ruin, maybe you’re seeing the lack of screen time as a failure, but he had no reason to be in the movie to begin with and was never supposed to be more than just a cameo.

Kitsch really brought the personality, distrust and charm, and he did all that in the little screen time he was allowed to have.
