What's weird on Spider-man's casting is how many TOTALLY AWESOME choices they made for all the mediocre ones. I mean, I'll be the first to bitch about Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane, or Tobey McGuire not being confident enough as Spider-man--but on the other side of the coin, HOLYSHIT that Aunt May. That J. Jonah Jameson. That Sandman, that Doc Ock. Some of the casting was meh, some of the casting was fucking PERFECT.
I don't know about X-Men, though. I mean, I know most of the kids come to see Wolverine anyway, but it felt like all three fucking movies were just Wolverine and His Amazing Friends. One movie focusing on Logan? Fine, I understand. He's a lovable character. One and a half movies? Sure, he's marketable. I think I had a little too much Wolverine by the end of the three, now FOUR different movies in which he was the official star.
I'm afraid I'm going to be like this by the end of the Avengers, too. I'm skeptical that the guy they have playing Cap is going to be able... you know, "keep up" with the onstage antics of one Robert Downey Jr., and what's going to happen is Iron Man and His Avengers. I hope I'm wrong, though.
