They’re pretty much worth it. The part that gets weird is they jump timelines. Try Deadpool first, it’s seriously funny and a great stand alone marvel movie. If you dig it, the rest of them are pg13 but fun. See them in order and it will make more sense.
Take this with a grain of salt, I loved the X-Men comics when I was a kid so I have background on the characters. I don’t think it’s that difficult to follow but it may be different if you’re not getting any of the “inside jokes” and other nuances.
I never was into comic boox, so most of those are lost on me.
Wasn’t The Dead Pool the guy who had almost a Spider Man costume in one movie? Can’t recall what he looked like in the “Origins” movie, but I’m sure it wasn’t that.
Then again, for the longest time I thought Huge Ackman’s character was “Wolfman”, with the sideburns and stuff. Hey, what did I know? Pretty kewl, though, with the Freddy Krueger blades. :laughing:
Deadpool was in X-Men Origins, but they butchered the character (he was the one with the sword arms and his mouth sewn shut). They actor who played him (Ryan Reynolds) spent years trying to get a more ‘accurate’ Deadpool movie made. He finally succeeded.
The X-Men movies are very uneven but you had the misfortune of seeing the worst one by far.
Logan is a completely different animal. It is a fantastic film that just happens to use some of the same characters.
Amazing parkour at the beginning grabbed me and never let me go for the whole rest of the movie. Basically, take a deep breath at the beginning and don’t exhale ’til the movie’s over.
I got the dubbed version, no subs, so the characters probably sound nothing like they do in reality, but it still made for a great movie.
