It was worth it just for Iceman.

Let’s be honest with each other, you and I. For once in our lives.
Now when it really matters. If only this one time.
If only about the X-Men.
There’s never been a truly good X-Men movie. I’m not just zeroing in on The Last Stand or the Wolverine movies. While they all vary in quality, none of them are very good. First Class comes close, but it’s still a little off.
As one of the few people in the world who grew up with but never grew out of reading comicbooks, I’ve come into superhero movies already familiar with most of the groundwork being laid, and already aware of the continuities being established and messed with. And as GOO Reviews’ resident comicbook historian/nerd, I’ve thought about superhero movies a lot more than any one person probably should at any point in their lives.
