Fandom Re-birth
I Do Not believing in spoiling!!
In case you have been caught up in work, or school, or life, please note -- The summer movie season has started!!!!
came out last friday to mixed reviews. As I don't believe in spoiling a show for others, I will only say that if you've read the comics - especially the '80s & 90s Uncanny X-Men - you will enjoy Wolverine completely. Yes, it is not Chris Claremont's world but it's damn close. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is a walking wet dream and the rest of the male-dominated cast is almost as beautiful. Great action sequences, wonderful in-jokes, some pretty male-bonding, and great promise for lots of sequels, it's just lovely.
is just about seamless. Yes, the universe has been re-vamped. Yes, the world and characters are somewhat different. That is addressed in the script and truthfully, it's about as realistic as any fanfic I've got in my 'keep stack'. The new cast is pretty and talented. Of course, Zachery Quinto & Chris Pine are the focus and nail their roles. The rest of the cast are just as interesting with Karl Urban as McCoy a delight ... okay, so is John Cho. So adorable. Sigh. (I must admit, however, I miss Mark Leonard.) The special effects and world building are just fascinating. I must admit I eeped and squealed though the whole film but I wasn't the only Trekkie in the audience in Love. The theatre was rocking with lots more noise than just the soundtrack. Well worth the 10 bucks and I'll probably drag someone else off to see it again this week. Just to make sure it was as good as I though, of course.
Both movies have already sparked sequels talks. If the quality is this good, we - the geek generation - will see a new wave of fandom. As a slash fan who started with K/S (ahem, Kirk/Spock) and the X-Men all those years ago, I'm thrilled to see a new generation emerge. After all, I must admit, I've always gained new fandoms ... but never been able to put down the old. Are you as thrilled as I?
