Watched most of "Love, Actually" the other day.  This is the kind of movie the English should not be allowed to make.

Wha? That movie is wonderful!

It's awful.  The little kid is cute but every thing else is sappy.

"Love, Actually" needed to change the name to "Wish Every Character Dies a Stupid Death Drowning In Their Own Vomit, Actually"

Fucking romantic comedies.  THATS NOT HOW THE REAL WORLD WORKS

Are you kidding? Emma Thompson's character has no happy ending. Her husband is a philanderer and she realizes she is too old to go about making a new life for herself so stays with him.

No. Also, it is a romantic comedy. It is supposed to be sappy. :huh:

Dangerous Liaisons.  Now that's the kind of love story with real life endings.

Well, I suppose her husband could have left her ass.

Admittedly, I love most of what Richard Curtis creates. Well apart from Mr. Bean and I don't recall liking Four Weddings and a Funeral but perhaps I was in the wrong head space at the time.

X-Men (2000).  I was there and I can't even remember how cool this must've been in 2000.  Today the comparatively small story told by the first modern superhero film is quaint--and more than a little refreshing.  Of course, what really sticks out like a sore thumb is how even the very first X-Men feature film, made eleven years before, has better-looking VFX than X-Men: First Class.  And what comes off as depressing now is that it's the first in the unending line of Wolverine ft. Professor X and Magneto shows that the franchise still hasn't grown out of--but, there's no use in blaming X-Men '00 for that.

And maybe they just give him more to do, but, yeah, Fassbender really is better than McKellen.  Sure, it's degrees of A+, but that's my judgment.

B+
