> No, Wolverine flipping off Cyclops with a claw didn't give me the slightest chuckle. I did laugh at the others who those who did though. And I'll admit the yellow spandex one was the only one that made me smirk and that's because I was quite the X-Men fan before. > And no I did not find the impossible special effects to offend my sense of maturity. In fact the whole movie never 'offended' my maturity, to me they were just bluntly put-lame. It seems like you took more offense here if anyone did. Keep in mind, my aim wasn't to criticize your sense of humor but the movies. If you share the same one, and take offense to my comment-that's not my problem. > I went to go see the movie because I like Sci-Fi, and I was a pretty big X-Men fan before. I don't see how criticizing lame jokes revokes my right to see a movie. > No I did not see the movie in hope of being enlightened, but entertained. And I missed the greatest benefit? You're going into a personality and lifechoice debate here and it isn't really helping your argument. This is a movie review forum, where people REVIEW, analyze and yes criticize movies. Either for the good or bad. I actually found the movie pretty enjoyable and don't regret seeing it, I only felt that one aspect of the movie was lacking, and that was a few corny jokes. Heh, I actually thought the movie was pretty good. > Wow, a personal insult to my intelligence and behavior-what an intelligent way to conclude your argument. I never understood why people think that inserting blunt insults proves their point. -Jooce
> Maybe it's just because I'm not a Trekkie...comic book sort of nerd but I didn't find any of the X-men jokes funny. Me and my buddies went to the movie and cracked up everytime all the X-men freaks started laughing at the jokes. I 'got' all of them, I just didn't find them that funny. That slapstick humor just doesn't appeal to me...maybe when I was a little more immature but now I need a little more wit for those clever jokes.
