Doesn't spoil the movie much thankfully but it does look very good at the moment.

I'm still torn on this movie. Everything I've seen makes it look good... but without Bryan Singer, how can we be sure? I loved the first two...

The one who throws them at Wolvie? I'd say that's The Spike.

You know you're still gonna go and see it anyway.

There was a pretty positive AICN review, from the guy who first kicked off a lot of the 'this is going to suck' vibes with his earlier reviews of the script and footage he'd seen. He seemed to think it pretty much came together and the directions the plot takes weren't as dodgy as they could have turned out, and copped to being wrong on his earlier judgements. He seemed to reckon the studio have dodged the bullet on this one, that the central performances and quality of the effects make up for the weaker elements. Fingers crosssed.

There's a clip kicking about somewhere where you can see Chris Claremont and Stan Lee cameoing.

That character does seem somewhat like the Spike. Strangely.

There's supposed to be a character named Spike in this movie, played by actor named Lance Gibson. I don't what he looks like, but I'm pretty sure that's him.

There's also one more X-Static in the movie, if you have seen the scene from 7-minute trailer in the church (?) when Magneto talks to the gathered mutants, he's there, too.

I dunno who the guy with the infinite number of stilettos is, but I just saw the "the cure" trailer and there's a guy whose face goes all porcupine, and that seems radically different from the "beanie-wearing stilettos in his jacket pockets" guy.

I just saw the movie.
Easily the best movie Ratner has made, and I really enjoyed it.
It's not the best X-Men movie - but I think I enjoyed it a bit more than the first one.
Allthough I must point out that I am weak, and I shouldn't be allowed to make this statement after just seeing the movie.

It should've been longer though.

I'll hold the spoilers until more peeps have seen it.

Oh... you'll see your Famke.

I'm sure everyone'll enjoy it though, even if you're not a Famke fan

I want to go the Friday but I have to go to bloody stupid work.

I'll have to wait til Sunday or Monday.

Or a Halle Berry fan. And therefore on crack.

Just to make myself clear: I enjoyed the movie. I don't think it's a super great movie though. It has it's flaws, and I can't wait until somebody else here sees it, so we can discuss.

discuss - here - transfans?

you want the religon thread...

Im not expecting this to be the best film ever but if its as good as the other 2 films then cool - I like the other two films, they are a bit shallow in plot and direction but hey, claws and red beams + Famke are good anyday right?

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Thu May 25, 2006 9:12 am

Dudes and gals that are gonna watch the movie

Watch the credits for super awesome movie ending mode.

Just got home from seeing it.

Lots of really cool stuff in it that I loved.
Lots of really annoying stuff in it that I hated.
Lots of characters utterly ******* raped.

I couldn't be arsed to sit through the end credits, but I think I had the post-creds segment spoilerised for me somewhere else anyway?

And who the hell is Arclight? Are her and Quills really the best Morlocks they could come up with as Callisto's deputies?

Spoilerage!

I get why they made Juggernaut a mutant, but half the fun of the character is his relation to Chuck... couldn't they have just cast The Blob or someone in that role? I know Juggs has got name value, but ******* Arclight and Quills haven't. Plus surely he would have dented that wall even with Leech there... what with being huge and wearing a metal helmet.

As much as I hate Cyclops, killing him off in that way really ******* pissed me off. Hey, why not actually take the opportunity to do something interesting with the character, as his lost love comes back all psycho? But no, that would detract screen time from whiny Halle Berry, whose "underexposed" Storm got more screen time than Scott in both the previous films.

Rogue getting the cure. I understand why she'd want it... but it would have been a lot more poignant if she hadn't gotten it. I was half expecting her to show up and drain Jean of her powers.

Was that meant to be Betsy with the purple hair? Why not just psche knife Warren II? Why throw him off the roof? Okay, I get why - so Angel could grab him... but seriously...

Hank's desire to close the school seemed totally off.

Griping about having only six of them... they could have at least used that to acknowledge Kurt's absence. Doesn't even need explaining... just... y'know... mention it...

I like the fact that nobody even thinks to ask what happened to Scott until ages later.

Other than that, thoroughly enjoyable.

[/whiny fanboy mode]

Who was the fat guy who shrunk to become a thin guy?

And I thought Betsy could only do that teleport thing through shadows or something?

Plus the new Superman Returns trailer is ******* awesome.

"But millions of people will die."
"Billions"

"Go on. Say it."
"You're insane."
"No, not that - the other thing."
"Superman will nev-"
"WRONG!!!!"

SPOILERS OH HELLZOR

Dude, do not read below. It has teh spoilzors.

Yes, Hank seemed really turned on about closing the school.
IMO that whole scene was really off. It felt like it was ten seconds long, and in that ten seconds a lot of **** happened.
Angel showed up, Hank wanted to scrap the school, Storm took on the leadership, etc.
As I said: the movie is to short.

And what about Colossus?
He is a vital part of the team - but he has like one line in the entire movie.

And about the end credits (Which I didn't see): Prof. X transfered his mind to the coma dude.

Arclight was one of the Marauders. Same powers, dressed in blue/silver, her hair not looking like Stacy X's.

Brendocon wrote:Who was the fat guy who shrunk to become a thin guy?

Probably Phat off X-Force/X-Statix, cause he's among the credits, and I can't see anybody else who could be him.

Yeah... I Wiki'd it since asking... is Phat, too.

Because, y'know... all things considered... one of the Marauders is an obvious choice for a key member of the Morlocks.

Oh no... really isn't...
