They're all huge franchises, but x-men could be bigger and better, and I hate the fact Fox has the rights to it. I may boycott the movie all together, I never really heard about the film nearly as much as thor,cap, and the avengers pieces get attention for, and because of this I like most people started watching trailers, info on youtube etc and nothing but boycott this and that for the film, having seen a few more trailers for it, it does look better then my first thoughts but doesn't have me running to the theatres the way thor and cap appeals to me. I mean for me going to the movies isn't cheap, $11ish/ticket x 2 tickets, popcorn, drinks etc, and a cab there and back I've spent easy $40-50, then eventually it'll come out on dvd/bluray which is another 20-30, maybe they make a video game, that's $60, tack on a poster, and maybe toys if we're lucky and I'm at easy 1-200 range. So for me as a consumer, someone who works hard for his $$ I don't wanna just give in to the hype, and say " yay another marvel movie", I personally want the film to blow at the box office, give the rights back to marvel and have them make an epic trilogy or more, and have the characters jim lee styled 90\s throwback... epic haha. IMO these are my feelings towards the film, may not be yours, but I'm entitled to them.

I see what you're saying, but you still can't really know until you see it. Trust me, when I heard about this movie, my first thought was "fuck that", then after seeing the trailers, I'm hyped on it. But, thats me.
