The Darjeeling Limited
Another Wes Anderson movie. Quite alright.

I guess you didn't look like your signature pic when you saw it. :D

Don't mind long (or slower) movies as long as they can keep it interesting.
But with Snowpiercer I got bored towards the end.

Why wouldn't I like my signature pic?
And what does that have to do with anything?

I'm guessing either english isn't your first language or you have totally misread my post.

Fantastic! Never seen another film with such relentless energy and pace as this one.

They deviated from the original comic storyline a bit, but that simply didn't matter. McAvoy and Fassbender were fantastic, but the guy who played Quicksilver ran circles around the entire star cast from the moment of his entry. It was heartening to see the original team members back in full force, and to see Iceman finally come into his own.

Such a star-studded action-packed film usually ends up having weaker characters and a thin non-existent storyline, but I must whole-heartedly credit Singer for pulling off a great, great storyline with almost equal weightage to all the characters involved. My favorite Jennifer Lawrence has made Mystique all of her own, and makes you forget Rebecca Romijn's take completely. I am a bit miffed at the makers for cutting out Rogue's scenes - but hopefully they will be added in an extended cut Blu-Ray release.

Enjoyed the heck out of it, and going to rewatch it over the weekend. The best X-Men film yet, even outshines the original!

You know who played Quicksilver, right? It's Evan Peters, from American Horror Story.

You're welcome! It was nice to see him in something different.

Yep, and he was pretty much THE star in all the scenes involving him.

Just read that he has been retained by Singer for X-Men: Apocalypse. Can't wait to see Quicksilver take on the big, bad granddaddy of all baddies come 2016!
