Geez. Pull back on the serious, guys. This isn't a political treatise from David M. Kennedy, it's a fun genre piece with good acting, credible gfx, and a few decent scares here and there. For CBS, it's a miracle.

Similar. Also any version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, or the 50's I Married a Monster from Outer Space. But the old ideas are being put to good use as a comment on our current political miasma(s).

Ton of house ads on CBS. Not a lot of advertising, but that's pretty normal in the industry for summer replacements. But it is a pretty good "find" if you have the time to go with the premise.

Great show. Give it a chance. Perhaps the most credible idea brought forth as to why our political landscape seems so damned insane. A clever melding of 50's science fiction tropes with the seemingly hopeless stalemate of current American politics. That they're so deftly put together is a credit to the show…

They LITERALLY cut this show down in its beginning glory. Grinder may "rest," but not willingly. Hulu, buy it and give us more!

Sad sad sad. The show was handled so well. Lots of laughs, a very tight ensemble, kid actors who were excellent, and every episode turned some stale TV trope into not only a comment on stale TV, but somehow made it seem fresh. Not many comedies can wink at the audience and still play it as if the wink didn't…

The trailer gives too much away. Then you watch the movie and wish you'd stuck to the trailer, because at least it set up a potential comedy situation. The real movie fizzles and sputters to its boring ending. Time back please?

Ridiculous 6 was at least somewhat funny, tried to reach but failed to get near Blazing Saddles or even "Million Ways…." - but this was just pure crap. Like a first-draft-done-let's-get-some-beers outing, from script to edit. It never finds or hits its pace or sweet spot - it has none. Cynical and condescending, if…

Ha. laying cable

Yes, Singer achieved "visually different." Entire movie looked like a half-rendered video game, thanks to the horrible CGI. (Bryan, CGI doesn't trump IDEAS and CHARACTER!)

Apocalypse fits in just great with the current Fox/X-Men universe, UNLESS it's as Oscar Issac painted blue and put into giant, thick-soled boots! They would have done better to give him some of the "otherworld-ness" Marvel proper put into Vision - just enough of his face is CG that actor and character are blended…

and Psylocke's?

I choose to pay homage to Roger Corman's Fantastic Four for New Line in 1994.

She's an amazing actress, somehow able to translate years of experience she doesn't have into characters who do. But I'd argue Singer, etc never knew what to do with Mystique - so it's either all hissing and kickboxing, or else platitudes and pouty faces. A real waste of talent and opportunity. But X-Men is still…

It's too late to fold X-Men back into the "real" Marvel universe. Hell, almost too late to bring the FF into that. X-Men movies have been mostly "lucky" to not suck so much (unlike Fox's other, the FFs), and they usually feel on-"brand" to Bryan Singer's grandaddy of them all. But all this setting up for the Next…

BTW, since I saw the first trailer months ago, I'd hoped the CGI on display was just a placeholder while the real work was done. No, ENDLESS scenes of really bad, video game (or worse) quality effects, replete with lighting inconsistencies to the BGs, that just made everything seem less real and that not much was…

Um…..It's better than any of the FF movies?

Every plot point telegraphed. Character situations exist to force a setup or inevitability. Hollow, condescending writing and direction. D-

Exactly! X-3 looked less like a video game than this one!

I'm willing to forget about this movie period.
