I won't cast my vote until I see the final product but, going off the workprint, I'd rate it 2.5/5, and that's being generous.

I don't think there should be any reviews from the work print. Only the final product. I'm not going to d/l it and will reserve judgement when I see it in a theater.

isn't the wp the same cut as final? i agree that the theater will be the most honest format to make an informed decision.

Yeah, apparantly some who have eyed the final cut have leaked that the only difference between the workprint and the final cut were the uncompleted effects. So the whole line we got about the workprint being a very rough cut would appear to have just been damage control by the studio.

I can safely say this movie is better than X3. But then again, almost any film would be better than X3.

I can think of at least half a dozen superhero films off the top of my head that are worse than X3.

- Daredevil
- Elektra
- Fantastic Four (all 3)
- Wolverine
- Superman IV

But it wasn't officially released which makes me think we all need to check it out and start a review thread for it.

Fox studio head says there are 10 additional minutes that were shot earlier in the year, that are not in the wp.

Whether he is lying, we will find out.

Shouldn't discussion about the workprint be stopped, given it's essentially an illegal download?

Did the workprint have the two scenes after the credits with

Spoiler:

Striker
Wolverine
?

I've heard good buzz from people that have seen the final cut. Can't wait until Thursday.

5 for 5 positive so far on RT...lol! I would love it if this stayed fresh, just to stick it to those who claim this is the worst movie ever.

I thought Liev did really good in this one. The character Kevin Durand did was horrible.

Movie was decent enough for me, 3/5
