Critics aren't comic book fans nor do they know the source material so they could care less about what's on the screen as long as it isn't a train wreck. The X-Men series is terrible and no I'm not a Nolan fanboy. I hate what he did to the Batman franchise.
whuh?
If there is anything I vouch for from DC it's TDK....your crazy for that fam.
Man if this or wolverine does better than MoS.....awesome.
I think that the climate for comic book mainstream has improved a great deal. Moviegoers are hopefully looking for story-lines with more depth and grit, which the X-universe has been known for. If DoFP does it right....with time traveling, with Bishop, with mutant enslavement, and now with Apocalypse....DC is ******.
This storyline is crucial for Marvel to be able to branch off of this and go into many directions with the X-men.
