ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
DCfan I remember watching this show over the summer when I was on my break in 2015. This is definitely better than X-Men 1992 and by far better then the horrible X-Men Evolution. It is a real shame that this show got canceled this alongside Spectacular Spiderman were good Marvel shows at this era and I would definitely recommend it to a new generation of X-Men fan. Call me crazy but I even had a crush on Jean Grey and Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat). If there was another season I would have wanted to see Cable, Apocalypse, Armor, Captain America, Deadpool, the new mutants (from X-Men Destiny), Iron Man, Spider-Man, more of X-23, Caliban, Leach, Master Mind, Omega Red and I could go on and on of what I want for the next season, honestly this show had so much potential to do all this but is a real shame it got cancelled. This show had a good story great character development, animation, and a really good voice cast.I was never even a fan of the X-Men until I started to watch this show.
WakenPayne This Cartoon Is One Of The Best In A Long Time. This Is Set Out Like An Adult TV Show...As In Action TV Series Like They'd Have Either Logan Or Charles Xavier Saying "Previously On Wolverine & The X-Men" & They'd Have About 4 Continuous Plots Out Of A 26 Episode Series. I Knda Wanted X-23 In This But Hey...You Can't Have Everything In One TV Series...Well Maybe 'Angel' But This Is The Best Cartoon Ever...Garuanteed. Something That Would Be Interesting Is To See Disnep Teaming Up With Pixar & Marvel & They Do An Animated Superhero Movie. It Wouldn't Necessarily Be X-Men Just Any Marvel Character. The Series Is Just As Enjoyable As HIMYM Or BtVS Or Anything Else I Give 10 Or 9. The Whole Series I Recommend To Anyone Who Is A Fan Of The X-Men Comic, Movies Or Any Comic Book Fan.
Dick Biggins When I first heard of this series I had initial doubts due to the somewhat decline in quality with Marvel but after seeing its newfound direction with the film Ironman I thought they might be onto something.What was once comics has now expanded into a full blown media outlet with movies and games as well as the original comics. Not only have they realised that it is a good way of getting cash (and a lot of it) but it also allows for the retelling and the rejuvenation of the franchise.However I thought this series would be dumbed down but to my surprise the series quickly establishes itself as mature and respectful to the original comics.Firstly the title gives you the idea of their direction with this series. Wolverine is now the main character and also the defacto leader. This is somewhat new but welcome seeing as how popular Wolverine and how putting him in such a different role allows for more character progression as he is plagued with doubts. Also the series quickly puts staples Jean Grey, Cyclops and Professor X into the background i think maybe due to the influence of X-3. But I feel they are in tune with the viewers by setting aside of deux ex machina the Pheonix, Professor X and by the book cyclops. Cyclops is on the team but no longer as the leader and more as the loner. Xavier still makes commands from the future through astral projection (I know this makes no sense). At the beginning its pretty much the cold war with mutants and humans itching to duke it out. The X-men have pretty much disbanded which is good because it allows for character reunions but it also puts them at a disadvantage. Magneto is present as a villain but takes a much more sidelines approach, he now has Genosha which is a thriving utopia or so it seems.The series makes little or no attempt at changing the mythology of the comics but it comes across in a refreshing and not to overbearing way. However it chooses to omit particular details of the recent comics which is fine by me because i never liked the idea of a feline beast. There are also slight comedic moments within the series which does remind you it is after all a cartoon and it isn't as dark and grim as the 90s cartoon.As long as it continues down this path the series will go fine. But my irk with Marvel is that things always get too bad too quickly. Hopefully this series will be a little more light hearted with its tones of maturity. The fight scenes are alright but it still has the ludicrous only kill if its metal policy meaning grunts are constantly thrown about and never killed but the machines have a pretty short shelf life. Its perfectly understandable but it is getting real old. There shouldn't be blood or gore but they could at least imply people died. The dialogue is often good and witty so no complaints there.All in all it looks a good series but who knows maybe Marvel will see only misery ahead and it will slowly drudge on till a confusing unhappy ambiguous ending. I hope Marvel doesn't go this route because as it stands this is an excellent series
MovieVoter 'Wolverine and the X-Men' is a new animated X-Men series that manages to surpass its predecessors thanks to some solid writing and refreshingly unique but surprisingly accurate portrayals of all the mutants. 'Wolverine' also succeeds in telling a more mature, straight forward storyline without all the cheese and convoluted plots and sub-plots from 1992's 'X-Men: The Animated Series.' Also gone is the teenage cast from 'Evolution.' 'Wolverine' sports a mostly adult cast of characters and mutants, giving a more appropriate take on the X-Men and their universe.'Wolverine' plays it smart by not spending so much precious time expounding and explaining away the very basic, common knowledge that most people already know when going into an X-Men series: Why it is the X-Men exist, their purpose, and the reason for this conflict that exists between regular humans and evolved humans with special powers. Instead of explaining the same axioms again for the umpteenth time, 'Wolverine' rightfully assumes you possess basic knowledge of the X-Men universe and focuses on its own story.The plot unfolds early on as the X-Men are assaulted by an unknown force, causing the disappearance of Professor X and Jean Grey, and leaving the Xavier Institute along with remaining team members in shambles. After an ordeal Wolverine faces, he moves to reunite the X-Men to solve the mystery behind the attack. Having seen up to the tenth episode myself, there's been a healthy balance of action and plot development within each episode. The action scenes are fun and inventive, with clever and unique usage of the mutant's powers. There's also the subtle and not so subtle humor in 'Wolverine,' some of which is very well done and wouldn't be out of place in a feature length movie.Perhaps what's most interesting about 'Wolverine and the X-Men' is the attention given to some of the more unfamiliar characters who are often overlooked, or underdeveloped in prior series. You never know who will show up in an episode of 'Wolverine,' whether that be from the X-Men universe or perhaps even another Marvel license. Also explored in greater detail is the inherent ambiguity between some of the various characters and factions. Are they friend, foe, or are they simply misunderstood? These are questions you'll find yourself asking of both the familiar and the unfamiliar in 'Wolverine and the X-Men.' Finally, the production values are all quite good, and the voice cast deserves a mention for their work. Excellent voice work all around, with proper inflections and careful avoidance of hammy overacting. The only one area I would fault 'Wolverine' in is the animation, of which I am a huge lunatic when it comes to fluidity of motion in animation. Simply put, more fluid animation would have worked wonders for several of the action sequences. Still, I don't want to disparage it too much as it's pretty typical of what you'd expect from an animated TV series, or kid's cartoons. However, what is not so typical is the overall quality and ease of viewing of the show. It's the best animated X-Men yet and it's an absolute shame it hasn't appeared on American television yet.
