Rookery Bonkers Tuesday
Neko's short short movie reviews:
Pirates: Have not seen it, it got pretty much universally bad reviews as just a retread of the first movies as a cash grab.
Green Lantern: Good, not great. An adequate telling of the origin story. The various alien Lanterns came out well, but we don't see a whole lot of them. Picking Paralax as the first big bad guy was a bad idea. He was trumped up as this huge danger to the Corp, then Hal beats him solo...
X-Men: A good movie. Better than the last two X-franchise movies. Story changes and casting is full of WTF in a big way. Seriously? Kevin Bacon as Sebasian Shaw? As typical for super movies, they could have done with a little less mutant talky and a little more mutant fighty. Would having a danger room session kill them?
SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.
Did not see a one of them. However Sherlock on Netflix is freaking AMAZING.
I knew the Puppeh got cheese in the time vortex!
Heroes : Angrem (50 Stone tank), Exo Inferis (50 Fire blaster), Exo Proteus (50 ill/emp), IceVengance (50 cold defender)
Villains : AtomBomb (50 Rad/Kin corruptor), Aleks (50 SS/Inv brute), StoneLethal (50 EM/Stone brute), Davroz (50 Bots/Dark mastermind)
puppeh sees all
short short movie reviews:
Pirates: garbage its too long and it looks great but its way too long and theres no real story
Green Lantern: I agree with neko 100%. Hal should have been beefier the guy who plays him was too skinny but funny.
X-Men: I agree with neko lots of action and fun.
of all three + thor i would do this order
1 gREEN LANTERN
2 X men
3 Pirates was bad
4 Thor sucked

-Co-Leader and recruiting officer of the Virtue Honor Guard

-Ace O' Diamonds lvl 50 fire/rad controller
and waaaay to many other alts to mention right now
X-Men was awful. If it was meant to be a reboot, why did they recycle all of the material from the first movies? If it was meant to be a prequel, why did they violate their own internal continuity? And if I was meant to like it, why did they give Magneto a frontal lobotomy and turn him into Wolverine with less hair and no claws?
Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.
