X-Men 3 - Please use Spoiler Tags

[cqb101]

I just got some new word on X3. Gambit and Beast we can confirm. Not sure about Angel. Hugh, Famke, Ian, and Patrick are back as of today. This is in addition to the actors already optioned for X3.

Anna, Halle, and James are NOT signed yet, though by the end of the week, they should know what will happen with Anna Paquin.

Looks like besides Phoenix, the SENTINELS are in, including a character called Dr. Bolivar Trask.

And a news director's been chosen......Too bad he's pretty muhc a no-name. :ohwell:

Variety has confirmed that "Layer Cake" helmer Matthew Vaughn is set to direct X-Men 3 for 20th Century Fox and Marvel Entertainment. Filming is scheduled to start in early summer with many of the cast from the first two films expected to reprise their roles.

Hugh Jackman is set for Wolverine, and Fox is in talks with Halle Berry, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart to return.

Alex Young is overseeing X-Men 3 for Fox, which is aiming for a Memorial Day May 26, 2006, release date.

And a follow up to the first article......

IGN FilmForce's secret X3 source advised us that Anna Paquin is signed to return as Rogue and that the Danger Room will finally be seen. Our insider reiterated that a male Angel will be in X3, along with Beast and Gambit. They also denied that the Sentinels will be in X3, as was reported yesterday at XMenFilms.net. Our source, however, refused to comment on the site's other claim that the film's villain will be Dr. Bolivar Trask.

[raphael_is_cool]

Matthew Vaughn did direct a British film called 'Layer Cake', which almost won him some directorial awards on his first feature. It is a superbly directed film. I'm hoping X3 can have the same stylish look, and should be awesome now Gambit's onboard (I hope)

Cheers for the heads-up

[Jester]

If Trask is the villian doesn't that mean we'll see Sentinals?? He is their creator...

[cqb101]

If Trask is the villian doesn't that mean we'll see Sentinals?? He is their creator...


Yep, the first article says the storyline will involve Phoenix and Sentinels....How they're gonna do both beats me....

[raphael_is_cool]

Should be easy enough. I think you'd need 2 running storylines, they have done so in the past, sort of.

It's just they're now introducing more new characters. I'm sure it'll all tie in somewhere.

[Brodie]

Are they gonna go into space too? Because obviously they're film gods if they can handle both sentinels and Pheonix.

[damnhooligan]

I'm just happy that Gambit and Beast are finally being introduced. They were always my favourite two characters.

And I could totally go for some Sentinel action.

[Brodie]

Who doesn't love anti semetic robots?

[Hannah]

..I suck. I need to like... watch the first two movies.

[Barkworm]

Just watch the second one, the first one is horrible (although I'm probably the only person who thinks that way :lol: ).

[KROW]

Well, I found the first film to be a bit slow, since they had to build the story. I also like the second movie better.

But, finally. Beast. I've been waiting for him.

They might juggle the Phoenix/Sentinels script by having Jean as a sidestory to the main focus of the rest of the X-Men, which will be the Sentinels. That would work well, I think.

Yep. ANd then they'll probably have something cheesy like Jean flying in at the last moment, destroying all of the sentinels and saving the day. God, I miss Singer.

[cowabunga14]

That's great news. Gambit and Beast will be great additions to X3. I haven't seen X2 so hopefully I can pick that up for cheap on DVD. Is Mojo gonna be in it? I'd like to see him in an X-Men movie. I'll see it when it comes out in theatres. Oh and this off topic but seein' as you are Marvel Fans the Man-Thing movie is gonna be on the Sci Fi channel on April 30th. Check out the Sci Fi website for more details.

[Ra]

ahh...the X-Men. brings back memories. to be truthful, X-Men2 was my first ever DVD. but enough about that. i'm really looking forward to seeing Beast, Pheonix and Gambit introduced. you don't know how happy this makes me to hear that X3 is now underway *sits back and waits for the movie to be realised*

[John 14:6]

I'd love to see Juggernaut and an extended showing of Colosus in a movie sometime.

[cowabunga14]

Yeah that'd be pretty rad.

[PiffDaddy]

When I saw Mystique going through the computer looking for the names of mutants and I saw Remy LeBeau, I just about screamed out. Gambit was by far my favorite character, and I'm pumped he's going to be in the next installment.

Do you think he will be introduced initially as a bad guy, working for Magneto, or just as the pick-pocket troubled theif from the original comic? Man, can't wait.

[Dane E5R]

Who would you folks like to see play Gambit? My first choice has always been Jared Leto, but if he's gonna have any kinda romance with Rogue, then Leto would be too old. So, my second choice would be Josh Hartnett.

[raphael_is_cool]

I personally can't stand Leto or Hartnett.

I would have said Brad Pitt because firstly, all the ladies like him and secondly, he could play the character well (if you've seen Thelma and Louise you'll get the idea).

Only problem is that he's getting on a bit and might not be able to manage the accent.

[That Matt Guy]

Who doesn't love anti semetic robots?

Sentinels were programmed to hate Jews?

[KROW]

Hmm...

How about James Marsters?

http://www.joodiff.com/images/spike02.jpg

[raphael_is_cool]

I'd say him but he's even older than Brad Pitt

[KROW]

I'd say him but he's even older than Brad Pitt
He's not that older. Only about a year or so.

How about...

Diego Luna?

http://estaticos.elmundo.es/suplementos/imagenes/2003/214/1048185977.jpg

Or Matt Long?

http://www.thewb.com/THEWB/Images/Dynamic/i61/JB-MLong-A_2x3_240.jpg

[XERO]

Personally, I'd stick with Marsters.

He has the trenchcoat look down. 8)

[cowabunga14]

Elias Koteas could play him. I dunno.

[Kid Icarus]

Elias is too old... plus when ever I see the movie I'd think about him playing cricket with Raph and a trash can >_>.

Marsters could pull off a good Gambit, I think. It all depends how big of a role he's gonna play though. If Gambit's going to be evil in this one, he'd work best, otherwise.... I'm stumped.

How, with Beast... human, blue haired ape thingy, or the new kitty form? CGI or suit? if human, who'd play him?

Beast makes casting Gambit look easy... :lol:

[cowabunga14]

I wonder if Mastermold and Henry Gyrich will be in X3. They should cuz it'll have Sentinels.

[Jester]

They've casted a Human Beast...use him...he's seen i one scene in X-2

[azure turtle]

They've casted a Human Beast...use him...he's seen i one scene in X-2
Oh yeah, I remember that. Don't know the actor's name, but I'd think Beast would need to be a bit bigger... Maybe have a frame like a gorilla, since he is somewhat ape-like (except for the recent "cat" version of Beast).

But if Beast is gonna be the famous blue furball version, and not a human, then perhaps that actor could go ahead and do it. Of course, the amount of make-up, blue paint, and fur is gonna be even worse than what Cummings and Romjin-Stamos went through to become Nightcrawler and Mystique.

Beast makes casting Gambit look easy...
Seriously. :embarass:

[Tony Danza]

I'd pick Clive Owen for Gambit. The actor needs to have a dignified sence about him, those pretty boys above wouldn't be able to convey it as well. Plus everyone likes Clive even more now because of Sin City.

[Spitfire]

I dont remember seeing beast in X-men 2....then again I havnt seen it in a little while. So who is directing this? I hope this just doesnt turn into some directors child fansty

[The Stryker]

The Superhero Movie curse seems to be happening again..the first two=good and the third it starts to fall apart.

Spider-man 3: SANDMAN :x 'Nuff Said
X-men Tres:New director and Casting Issues

I dunno but maybe the curse will be broken, But still it has killed many Greater Hero Movies Before.Supes 3 anyone?

I wasn't that impressed with the first two.

But to answer your question: if you look back through the thread Matthew Vaughan is mentioned. He's only done one film so far, a very good British gangster/crime/thriller called 'Layer Cake' and then worked as a producer on a few okay Guy Ritchie films.

He has a good bit of imagination with his directing style but he's never had such a big feature before.

[KROW]

Those pretty boys would work if there would be a love triangle approach between Gambit, Rogue, and Iceman. That's the only reason why I posted those pictures.

A no name doing it....oh boy I really hope this doesnt turn into a movie that looks like it's made by Paul Andreson. Or doesnt turn out like Blade 3. Blade and Bloodhunt ruled but Trinity was just god awful and I have a feeling crappiness looms in this series future as well

[The Stryker]

As long as Gambit is in it I'll Be moderately Happy

[PiffDaddy]

^^^ My sentiments exactly

[Tony Danza]

Clive would still work in that case too. He's not a bad lookin dude, and he has played several roles that included him as the object of a female's attraction.

[KROW]

Clive Owen is too old. He's just over 40. Paquin is in her 20s.

While the bulk of the cast for the third X-Men movie is already in place, Variety today announced a new addition to both the cast and the characters that will appear in the film: Kelsey (Frasier) Grammer as Hank McCoy, aka Beast.

Blue fur and all.

While spinning it to the trade and non-comics readers Marvel’s Avi Arad confirmed what many X-Men fans have known for years: “Kelsey was born to play the role," Arad said. “This is a big role in the new movie, and when we met with him, you can see that Kelsey has that you'd-better-have-a-dictionary-handy intelligence.”

The trade confirmed that X3’s Beast will be the 355-pound, blue furred version.

Also, Vinnie (Snatch) Jones is slated to play Juggernaut in the film, named by the trade as the anchor of Magneto’s “villainous band.” Maggie (Lost) Grace is in negotiations to play Kitty Pryde, while the studio is still searching for an actor to play Angel, described by the trade as “a handsome winged mutant who is ashamed of his feathery appendages.”

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, X-Men 3 is slated to open Memorial Day weekend, 2006.

Raph's Girl note: Soo.. Beast is Metrosexual??? Grammar has gone from being Dr. Frasier Crane to Dr. Hank McCoy! I never would have pictured him in the role but it certainly does fit the Frasier Crane personality. :lol:

[KROW]

Interesting. Now I shall await those who will say, "What about the guy in X2 that was talking on the T.V.? Huh?"

Vinnie Jones? Juggernaut?
http://www.femail.com.au/img/vinniejones.jpg

Er... okay. I would've cast Paul Wight or someone as large to play him.

And Maggie Grace?
http://www.wchstv.com/abc/lost/maggiegrace.jpg

I see. That could work, although we might here more of, "What about that girl in X2 that ran through the wall, and through the door in the first movie? Huh?"

[Raph's Girl]

Interesting. Now I shall await those who will say, "What about the guy in X2 that was talking on the T.V.? Huh?"

That would be Steven Bacic who can currently be seen in Stargate SG1 playing Camulus, the celtic god of war as well as "The Colt" a made for tv movie about the civil war. But he's more known from "Andromeda"

I doubt he has time to reprise his role as Dr. McCoy.

As for Katie Stuart (Kitty Pryde in X-Men 1 and 2)...Well..who knows..she might not be interested.. BTW...she was also in SG1 as Cassandra and can currently be seen in "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"....

[KROW]

I see. Well, if it were me, I would definitely give up a role on Stargate to play in an X-Men film, and as one of the chief characters to boot. Especially Beast. He's an integral part of the team, with his intelligence and calm demeanor. That character could go very far in the franchise should they make more films. Sae with Shadowcat. She was quite an important character herself.

But, if they want to pass it up, that's their decision.

[DrSpengler]

I kinda hope Kelsey Grammer just plays Dr. McCoy in his "humanoid" form and then does the voice after he gets all furry. Kinda like how David Hyde Pierce just did the voice of Abe Sapian in Hellboy.

A good choice, though.

I agree. I seriously don't think he can hop and leap around, hanging by his hands and feet and such, and while dressed in a heavy fur-covered bodysuit.

Not after this (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/kelsey.html).

[damnhooligan]

I've always thought Harry Connick Jr would be a great Gambit because he's got the accent and the look somewhat. But really, he's far too old these days. But they seriously need a Louisiana boy. There's nothing worse than a fake, poorly done Cajun accent. Nothing.

But I echo Stryker's sentiment about "so long as Gambit's in it, I'll be happy." Gambit and Beast. Hell yeah.

[DrSpengler]

[Raph's Girl]

Oh dear...

http://www.superherohype.com/news/featuresnews.php?id=3023

So what can we expect Grammer's Beast to be like? "Super intelligent. A pacifist Ph.D as he should be. I cannot tell you what he does in the movie because it's an amazing... it's a very big role in this movie. The subject matter of this movie, we don't take Beast lightly. It was someone that we didn't take into one and two because we were busy with other characters and Beast needs to be a centerpiece... and so is Angel, they had to be centerpieces. Too much going on within the story, the origin."

We asked Avi whether Grammer will be wearing a suit like The Thing, played by Michael Chiklis, in Fantastic Four. "You will see Beast like you've never seen him before. It's going to be very true to the comic. Of course we're building a suit and hair, you name it. Without going into detail, he's a very central character here in the movie and very much within what Hank McCoy is, Dr. McCoy."

Raph's Girl note: Man in suit!! Man in suit!! :o

[KROW]

Raph's Girl note: Man in suit!! Man in suit!! :o
I hope it's DIFFERENT man in suit!

[Raph's Girl]

From an Avi Arad Interview:

"There will be make-up and prostheses. It will be a combination of artforms to bring it to life, but a lot of it will maintain around his face – his eyes, his mouth, and so on. It will be very much like the kind of stuff we did with The Thing."

Sooo... It'll be all Kelsey Grammar..... :ohwell:

[KROW]

Oh, lord...

[Jester]

Hit the gym now Grammar!! We don't want a puny girly Beast!! :P

[SWAT_KAT_RAZOR]

Could we really see the dude who played ' Spike'
on Buffy and Angel As Gambit? For The Trehnchlook yeah..
But uhhh..Gambit?

[KROW]

Could we really see the dude who played ' Spike'
on Buffy and Angel As Gambit? For The Trehnchlook yeah..
But uhhh..Gambit?
Sure, why not? He's got the look and he can act like an outcast. But I would only want to see him, or Clive Owen (I think he'd be a good choice), play as Gambit if the story doesn't call for a love triangle between Rogue, Gambit, and Iceman. Simply for the age difference. That gap's too wide.

[The Stryker]

Great so now we can have all those moderately amusing webcomics with Beast and Abesapien in "Mutant Frasier" Oh what a Grad day that will be!

Huzzah!

[cqb101]

Got a lot of updates here.....

First, from AICN(so it probably isn't true....)

Avi Arad wasn't kidding when he called the film "controversial." Three major characters that absolutely should not die, die. REALLY dead, too. Not Spock Dead. And one mutant who should not lose her powers, loses her powers permanently. Really loses them, too.

And the sex scene... when you see who does what to who... oh, boy.

The entire X-MEN universe may face some incredible overhauls, and it's going to be fascinating to see what fandom does when faced with this stuff.

As soon as the director is announced, we'll be back with your first look at the plot of X3.

As most of you probably know, "Layer Cake" director Vaughn is now off of X3, and fox has narrowed ti down to 2 directors....

- John Moore, director of Behind Enemy Lines and Flight of the Phoenix.

- Brett Ratner, director of Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2, Red Dragon and After the Sunset.




Wow, this movie's gonna be horrible.

[Anarky]

Yeah, this must be terrible. I mean, we hardly know anything about the story, we don't have a director, we just know some actor names and mutant names. But yeah, it can't get any worse. I mean, how the hell is a not-signed director going to direct a plot we don't even know. That is not going to be pretty...

Why do people always think, they can judge a movie before they saw it? Before it's even made?

[raphael_is_cool]

Why do people always think, they can judge a movie before they saw it? Before it's even made?

Happens all the time.

'Oh, that next Tim Burton film is going to be great. It'll be quirky just like all his other films.'

If it's a particular director and they have a big involvement in the writing and planning stages you can get a general idea of what the film will most likely be like.

But it is a little early, yes.

[Brodie]

Well, if the director isn't Tim Burton, CQB is usually very skeptical about the movie.



Red Dragon was an awesome movie, so was Behind Enemy Lines. Just cause no one has ****ing scissor hands doesn't mean it sucks.

[cqb101]

Well, if the director isn't Tim Burton, CQB is usually very skeptical about the movie.

*Sniffle* I knew it would end someday, but not like this!

[The Stryker]

- Brett Ratner, director of Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2, Red Dragon and After the Sunset.


Nightcrawler:"Do you understand the words dat are coming outta my mouth?!"

[cqb101]

SHH is reporting that Ratner has gotten the job. Oh well. He's no Singer, but it could be worse.

[Barkworm]

I don't know what's supposed to be so great about Singer.

[raphael_is_cool]

I don't know what's supposed to be so great about Singer.

Precisely. The first two X-Men films could've been way better.

[Barkworm]

I thought X-2 was really good but the first one sucked.

[Brodie]

New Teaser...

http://superherohype.com/nextraimages/x3teasersmall.jpg

[The Stryker]

Reminds me of the Jurassic Park 3 Teaser poster

[Barkworm]

Kinda lame.

[KROW]

At least we know that Wolverine will be back. :P

[Barkworm]

I wonder if his role will be even bigger than last time in this movie.

[Anarky]

Wolverine currently is the X-Man, and nobody at Marvel seems to care about ruining the character. Of course he will be in X3 and of course his part will be pretty big, but I think they've done it quite well so far, since he is something like a teacher at the X-institute. But yes, the other X-Men deserve more screentime.

[raphael_is_cool]

Just a random thought: Having seen Sin City, I reckon Mickey Rourke would've made a far better Wolverine.

Carry on...

[Anarky]

Maybe, but just maybe that X3-teaser is a fake. I don't know how official it is, and I haven't checked either, but if you look at Astonishing X-Men #1's (http://www.marvel.com/dotcomics_new/axm/) cover then you'll notice a slight similarity to the teaser.

[Brodie]

It's official, its up at the local movie theatre already.

I don't think it's that lame, it's kind of simplistically cool.

Mickey Rourke as Wolverine? Nah, Hugh Jackman is the ultimate Badass as Wolvie. Rourke -is- Marv.

But with a poster like this, I wonder what they'll do with the Wolverine movie.

[Barkworm]

If Kurt Russell was 10 years younger, he would be the perfect Wolverine. Just look at Anarky's Avatar.

[Anarky]

If Kurt Russell was 10 years younger, he would be the perfect Wolverine. Just look at Anarky's Avatar.

Yeah, I think he still could do the job, but he would look too old. I mean, Logan is sort of stuck in his 30ies.

Well, actually I think Hugh Jackman is doing a fine job with Wolverine.

[Brodie]

I think so too.

Tell me this doesn't give you that goo-ie feeling of "Hey...thats Wolverine.."

http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/637/637120p1.html

IGN FilmForce has learned that the role of Kitty Pryde in X-Men 3 will be played by fifteen-year-old actress Ellen Page (a.k.a. Ellen Philpotts-Page). Her credits include Hard Candy and the TV series Trailer Park Boys.

The part of Warren "Angel" Worthington's father has not yet been cast but is down to a few actors, while Daniel Cudmore will reprise his role as Colossus in X3. And, yes, Alan Cumming's Nightcrawler will definitely not return.

In other news, XMenFilms.net reports that X3 has added several key crew members, beginning with editor Mark Helfrich (Red Dragon, Predator).

"Yes, I will be editing X3, as I have all of Brett Ratner's films," Helfrich advised XMF, adding "this project will have 3 editors. Academy Award nominee Mark Goldblatt A.C.E. and Julia Wong will be editing with me." Goldblatt also directed 1989's The Punisher.

XMF also lists the following people as having joined the crew: costume designer Lisa Tomczeszyn, special effects director Mike Vézina, 2nd unit director Simon Crane, director of photography 2nd unit/visual effects Jonathan Taylor, first assistant director – 2nd Unit Terry Madden and storyboard artist Collin Grant. Many of them are veterans of other comic book films.

Finally, Superhero Hype reports that recent photography done in San Francisco and Alcatraz Island was for the X3 trailer, which SHH adds will debut in December.

X-Men 3 begins filming next week in Vancouver, under the direction of Brett Ratner. 20th Century Fox has the flick set for a May 26, 2006 release.

Ben Foster will be playing Archangel aka Warren Worthington III.

Here's an image of the new Kitty Pride:

No Nightcrawler?? :(

*sigh* But Iceman... and Ben Foster? That's cool.


I'm slightly wary of this movie. Of course, I despise the whole Pheonix Saga crap, soooo......

According to Avi Arad, it won't be based on the Pheonix saga. Not heavily anyway.

the X-Men 3 Teaser Trailer

First Look at the X-Men 3 Teaser Trailer!
Source: Scott Chitwood December 2, 2005

While in Vancouver visiting the set of X-Men 3, ComingSoon.net/SuperheroHype.com and several other online journalists were asked by Hugh Jackman, in full Wolverine garb, if we had seen the teaser trailer. When we said we hadn't, he said, "Oh, you've got to see it!" Little did we know that he hadn't seen it either and was actually on his way to check it out. After a quick check with the Fox representatives, Hugh Jackman got approval from our gracious Fox hosts to let us see it with him. He then led us through a maze of trailers to a truck trailer with a screening room. (There's nothing more surreal than following Wolverine, along with a group of fellow internet geeks, through a movie set.) We all sat down and got to watch the teaser along with Jackman himself. I'll do my best to recap it.

The trailer is a montage of scenes from the film. It starts out with a voice over by Patrick Stewart. As he talks about the war of mutants (as well as angels and demons), we see a bunch of very, very brief scenes. Here's what I remember (not necessarily in order):

- The X-Men walking down the hall in the basement of the X-Mansion. We see Wolverine, Storm, Kitty Pryde, Colossus, and others.
- An exterior shot of the X-Mansion
- Storm walking out of the Mansion doors and looking at a cloudy sky.
- Quick shot of Professor X in a wheelchair.
- A shot of Beast and the other X-Men at what appears to be a funeral.
- A shot of Angel, shirtless and in a lab, quickly unfolding his wings in from of some scientists.
- A quick shot of the President and his advisors.
- Juggernaut in a containment cell.
- A shot of Magneto in the woods flanked by Pyro, Juggernaut, and an Asian mutant among others. Magneto delivers a line and dozens of mutants raise their fists in the air.
- Cyclops screaming at the sky.
- Wolverine meeting Cyclops at Alkali Lake and his glasses flying off and into Wolverine's hand.
- Jean Grey waking up on an infirmary table.
- An X-Student walking through the halls of the Mansion flying paper airplanes with his powers.
- Storm flying through the air, then spinning and knocking people over.
- Storm flying and knocking Wolverine out of the way of debris falling down (in a Danger Room training sequence).
- A shot of Magneto causing a car to fly up into the cab of a truck.
- A shot of Magneto and other mutants walking along the Golden Gate Bridge. The Bridge then starts ripping and bending apart.
- A shot of Jean Grey casually walking towards a door in the infirmary and it violently blowing apart.
- A scene of Wolverine jumping out of a tree and tearing someone apart with his claws.
- A shot of Mystique jumping onto a desk in front of somebody, and her hands are chained together.
- Wolverine falling down in a corner in between two walls and as he's falling he's got his claws sticking out slowing his fall and there are sparks flying from his claws.

The trailer then concludes with the X and Wolverine's claws as seen on the poster. The reaction to it was overwhelmingly positive among us and we applauded it (which was again surreal with Hugh Jackman there seeing it for the first time with the rest of us).

This teaser gives us our first look at Beast in full makeup. The best way to describe it is to say that Kelsey Grammer looks like the Marvel Legends Beast action figure, at least from the neck up. You'll have to freeze frame the trailer in order to get a good look at him (or any of the mentioned scenes, for that matter). However, the scene with Angel is what stood out to most of us who watched it together. Seeing him unfold his wings was an impressive sight.

We asked to see it again and they obliged. Jackman even wanted to see it too, so he stuck around. All in all it was a fun evening. You'll hear more about our visit to the set in coming months.

The X-Men 3 teaser trailer will be attached to "King Kong" when it hits theaters, but it will debut online this coming Monday, Dec. 5th. Watch for it on Apple's website in High Definition quality.

Thanks again to 20th Century Fox and Hugh Jackman for giving us a sneak peek. You guys are going to love it, too.

bratt ryner...thank you

[cqb101]

Also, the trailer will go online on Monday, and will be attached to King Kong.

the X-Men 3 Teaser Trailer


bratt ryner...thank you

Bratt Ryner? O_o

[FireFly]

Bratt Ryner? O_o
sorry I med Brett Ratner

[IceFlash78]

Hey... sorry if this is old news, but I read in US today that the actor who plays Sawyer in Lost, Josh Holloway, turned down a offer to be Gambit for X-men 3.

So i was wondering.. what are your opinions on this? Would he have been a good fit or not?

I wouldn't know cuz I don't read the Xmen comics at all...

[Barkworm]

I think he would have been a great Gambit although I really can't imagine him having a Cajun accent...

[BartAllen]

I hope they go with the ultimate origin of gambit. the 616 origin is really convaluted.

[cqb101]

Hey... sorry if this is old news, but I read in US today that the actor who plays Sawyer in Lost, Josh Holloway, turned down a offer to be Gambit for X-men 3.

So i was wondering.. what are your opinions on this? Would he have been a good fit or not?

I wouldn't know cuz I don't read the Xmen comics at all...

He has the right look, he's a decent actor, but I'd be curious if he could put on a cajun accent.

[Dr. Doom]

Well I certainly hope for HIS sake that he wasn't the reason they've left Gambit out. -=Cracks knuckles=-

[cqb101]

Some promo pics of the film have been released.....First looks at beast and Angel. Angel looks awesome, Beast looks decent....I'll wait until I see more to fully judge.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/gallery/2005/x3/flash.htm

[BartAllen]

holy poopy. beast looks bad ass!

[Barkworm]

I'm not impressed...

[BartAllen]

I'm not impressed...
what arent you impressed with?

[Barkworm]

I don't like Beast's look. He looks a little cheesy IMO. :|

[BartAllen]

I don't like Beast's look. He looks a little cheesy IMO. :|
yeah, i hear you. the comicbook version looks kind of cheesy though. especially now that he looks like a blue lion.

[FireFly]

beast looks a little like the ML verison of him and angel needs long hair but all and all this looks to be the best X-men movie yet now show me juggernaut

[Jo Dawn]

Awesome pics. :)

[Anarky]

Those pictures are really impressive. Beast looks really good. But Angel's feathers seem a bit too big, but then again, he is a mutant, so that doesn't really matter.

[Sewer Bull]

Beast looks as if he came directly from "The Wizard of Oz".

There will be no Nightcrawler in "X-Men 3". Sewer Bull is not amused because of that.

[Raph's Girl]

WOW!! That's Kelsey Grammar?! Man in suit! Man in suit!!

Ok Im impressed with Beast's look! :o

As for Angel... good lord his wings are huge!!

[cqb101]

The teaser is up!

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/x3/

[Brodie]

Oh My God! Jizz!

[DrSpengler]

Beast looks great. Makes me glad they went with the costume over the CGI, now.

Juggernaut, for what little we saw of him, is kinda goofy-looken.

And a whole LOT of Brotherhood members! Woo hoo!

[Brodie]

Juggy was HUGE.

[cqb101]

Did anybody else catch the fastball special at the end? Awesome!

Juggy is very dissapointing.

[Brodie]

Are you kidding me?

Would you prefer him looking like Jack Skellington or some ****?

What do you expect. The guys HUGE, admit it! He's got the Helmet and everything. Maybe he gets bigger when its on, like in the comics...

[Raven]

Just saw the teaser a little bit ago, I like what I see...but I'm still worried.

[Brodie]

From what they've shown it looks better than Singer's directing. But then again that could be the high points.

I imagine the toysll be out soon.

[Barkworm]

What do you expect. The guys HUGE, admit it! He's got the Helmet and everything. Maybe he gets bigger when its on, like in the comics...
There's one shot in the trailer in which he has it on but he still has the same size.
Anyway, the trailer looks great! It seems like this movie's style will be noticably different from the others.

[Dr. Doom]

Did they bring the trailers down or something? They ain't workin' for me. Comes up as a busted link.

[Barkworm]

I guess you need Quicktime 7.0 to watch it.

[Duke]

Juggy is very dissapointing.I 100% agree w/ that statement.

[BartAllen]

this sucks, the trailer wont work for me either. i have the latest version of quicktime too.

[FireFly]

for a teaser trailer that was good
juggy's costume looks a little S&Mish but still looks cool i can't wait to see the movie now

[damnhooligan]

If the trailor isn't working for you, refresh the page. A couple folks I know had that problem.

I'm pretty excited. I've always loved Hank McCoy and vocally, Kelsey Grammar is the perfect choice. Physically, well... we'll see!

[Anarky]

EDIT: Now why the hell do they have to make things ever so complicated? I mean, all I want to do is watch a teaser and I don't want iTunes, I don't want to click one thousand and four links, I don't want to sign up for anything, all I want to do is watch a friggin teaser. But instead of just being able to watch it, I have to take an astronaut's training, fly to the moon, poop into some crater, do the dishes and take the dog for a walk. And then I might be perhaps allowed to watch two frames of that movie, telling me to sign up for yet another ever-so-good-toolbar and all that ****.

I'll see if I'll be able to see it.

[cqb101]

Incase anybody is wondering who the brotherhood mutants are..

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/Xxcqb101xX/gdn.jpg

(L to R) Juggernaut, Unknown, Magneto, Multiple Man, Calisto, Stacy X, Pyro, Dark Phoenix

The unknown could either be Omega Red who's in the movie and a member of the bortherhood, but I really hope it isn't. That guy is NOT Omega Red. Another possibility is Sunfire, but I doubt it. It would seem kinda pointless to have him when you already have Pyro.

[TigerClaw]

For those having trouble watching this teaser trailer, Quicktime 7 is required cause the trailer itself uses the H.264 Quicktime Codecs. You can download the standalone version of Quicktime 7 without installing Itunes by clicking on the link below.

[Anarky]

Finally! I've finally managed to see the trailer and it looks really good. I wonder what that warzone will be? I mean, it could be a flashback of Wolverine's past (And damn, Jackman gives a great Wolverine). Beast looks really neat too. I can't wait.

[cqb101]

The warzone is probably the danger room sequence that's in the script(possibly against sentinels).

I suppose the danger room will be an intrestin' enviroment for the movie. That would be great to see some flashbacks when Wolverine was James Howlett.

[cqb101]

I suppose the danger room will be an intrestin' enviroment for the movie. That would be great to see some flashbacks when Wolverine was James Howlett.

I don't think we'll be seeing too much more WOlverine developmetn and flashbacks....They'll probably save a lot of that stuff for the Wolverine movie.

[Jester]

I just hope we seem more Sabertooth in the Wolvie spin-off movies.

EDIT: Watched trailer....looks like Rogue and Bobby are front line X-men as well as Kitty Pryde and Peter "Colossus" Rasputin....and is Bobby looking longingly in to Kitty's eyes? I'm sure Rogue and Colossus will love that....

Well, it's been a while since the trailer came out... any new news?

[Mecha Cow]

Closer look at Beast and Juggernaut (http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=23&itemid=8573).

[Brodie]

Beast doesn't seem to look like that in the flick.

[Anarky]

Oooh... I like Juggernaut's design. The black suits him perfectly and they haven't really changed all that much for the movie, even his knuckle-things are there. Nice.

[ZariusTwo]

Beast doesn't seem to look like that in the flick.

Maybe Toy Biz dont' know what to do with that toss salid and scrambled eggs...

[Jo Dawn]

Psylocke? Ugh. Blah. Almost as bad as the Pheonix.

[Raph's Girl]

Must be the day they decided to release tons of pics of X3.

Here's one of Wolverine, Prof. Xavier, Storm (her hair is awful), and Frasier Crane er I mean Beast.

http://images.countingdown.com/images/countdowns/movies/2756437/1011/3820633_main.jpg

Storm's looking at Beast like "Huh...he's blue.."

Wolverine um...Storm's face is uh up a bit further...

Prof. Xavier: "Soo...how's Niles?"

Beast: "Hello...Im Dr. Hank McCoy aka Beast....Im listening." :lol:

[Mecha Cow]

I'm really surprised at how good Frasier looks as Beast. Not a fan of Storm's new 'do though, but then again, I'm not really a fan of the character or the actress either.

[PiffDaddy]

Has it been confirmed that Remi Lebau (I think thats the sp) "Gambit" will in the movie? I got so excited when I saw his name on the computer screen in X2, then nothing. I wonder if he will be an X-man or Brotherhood-lum?

[Barkworm]

I'm pretty sure they said that he won't be in it.

[Dr. Doom]

If he is, they've flat out lied to us. It was, in fact, confirmed, much to my dismay.

[cqb101]

Has it been confirmed that Remi Lebau (I think thats the sp) "Gambit" will in the movie? I got so excited when I saw his name on the computer screen in X2, then nothing. I wonder if he will be an X-man or Brotherhood-lum?

He's not gonna be in it.

[Raph's Girl]

Gambit's not gonna be in X-Men 3 so we're gonna have to wait till X-men 4 or 5. Hopefully he'll be in X-Men 4 or somehow make it onto the Wolverine movie or the Storm movie. Definatly won't be in the Magneto movie.

[Barkworm]

Wait... a STORM MOVIE???!!! When was that announced?

[Anarky]

Why is everyone so hellbent on seeing Gambit? Sure, he talks funny and he throws cards around and that's about it. We've already got a Rogue-love-interest and we've alread got a "bad boy"...

[Raph's Girl]

Barkworm: The Storm movie was announced last year.

Anarky: Gambit is everybody's fave theiving Cajun bad boy! We all want Remy LeBeau darnit!

Just as long as it's not the Gambit who's a clone of Scott Summers and Mr. Sinister as seen in X-Men: The End. :lol:

But anyways...they could easily do a Storm movie based on the series where she was changed into a child again and she and Gambit went on a thieving spree.

[Anarky]

Anarky: Gambit is everybody's fave theiving Cajun bad boy! We all want Remy LeBeau darnit!

And that alone justifies him being in a movie? Do you really want to see a guy in a leather coat, throwing a couple o' cards at people and then go "Oh, oui, mon cheri"?

Now that's what I call unecessary.

[Dr. Doom]

Well obviously I'd want him put in there with a PURPOSE, but Gambit's been one of my favorite comic book characters since back when I first started reading anything other than TMNT Archie. He's just an incredibly charismatic, likable character and a lot of us would just be really excited to see him personified in a movie. Don't mistake our enthusiasm for blind nerd-lust tho. Well, ok, I can't speak for everyone, but when I rant about Gambit being put into the movies, my desire to see it done WELL is certainly included.

As far as Rogue in concerned, the picture is pretty much the same in Ultimate X-Men. Bobby and Rogue had a thing, she caught him smoochin' Kitty, knocked her on her ass, and then Gambit swooped in and worked his mojo.

So to answer your question;

Do you really want to see a guy in a leather coat, throwing a couple o' cards at people and then go "Oh, oui, mon cheri"?

Yes. Yes we do.

they got the flame throwers gloves:D

[Jo Dawn]

Well... I'd have liked to see Gambit. BUT I can do without, especially if it'll have some kinda love triangle type thing. Because I was ALL FOR Gambit and Rogue for YEARS while I read X-Men... until the drug it on too long. There's only so much 'I love you but I can't have you but I love you' than I can take. I have little patience for that kinda stuff. So I totally turned to the Bobby/ Rogue ship near the end of my X-Men reading days.

As far as Rogue in concerned, the picture is pretty much the same in Ultimate X-Men. Bobby and Rogue had a thing, she caught him smoochin' Kitty, knocked her on her ass, and then Gambit swooped in and worked his mojo.


If Bobby does that I'll not be the happy camper watching the movie. See my above rant or stay tuned for another one.

Phoenix looks good but why is Beast wearing pink???

[Anarky]

I just hope it's red and that the lighting was a bit unfortunate in that pic... but you never know. Yellow would really suit him, but I guess they don't want the comic book look.

[The Stryker]

Eh...I don't like the posters. especially the Wolvie angst, They look like ads for something completely different like Mutant cologne or something.

[Anarky]

Eh...I don't like the posters. especially the Wolvie angst, They look like ads for something completely different like Mutant cologne or something.
Heh, the Wolverine-one is actually the only one I really liked. Not because it seems angsty, but because it fits his character. Leaning back in an alley, not really all that heroic...

Oh, and by the way...The horrors of a bad costume or missing CGI (http://aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=22437)

And then there's more pictures. (http://www.darkhorizons.com/2006/x3.php)

[damnhooligan]

I don't much care for the posters either. It seems their attempting to be artsy and thought-provoking, but the poses are pretty boring and lifeless. The only one I even remotely like is Angel's. Go figure. The Beast one is absolutely horrible.

[comixfan]

http://aintitcool.com/pics/xmen22.jpg


I think of Dr. Doom when I look at this pic.

It looks like they're just putting a metal mask on the actor's head, along with a metal suit for the body, and saying, "Look, everyone! It's Colossus!"

If this is what he's supposed to look like in the movie, then "X3" is in trouble. If it's just a promotional shot with missing CGI effects, then there's nothing to worry about.:)

[Dr. Doom]

Doesn't anyone reemember that picture of Nightcrawler with his tail missing?

[Barkworm]

Eh...I don't like the posters. especially the Wolvie angst, They look like ads for something completely different like Mutant cologne or something.
That is exactly what I thought.

[cqb101]

I'll probably get the Rogue poster just because it's Rogue....Don't care about the rest.

[Turtledude2k3]

24 was two hours tonight on FOX and it was very well-done. The 2nd hour of the 2 got more emotional with the return of a old character and also a very emotional ending to the episode.. However what was exciting was the showing of Xmen 3: The Last Stand which comes out in May.

Excellent trailer.. some of you probably know alot of who or what is happening in this xmen movie but let's just say I can't wait..

[Raph's Girl]

Fortunatly I was told at what exact time the trailor would air so I wouldn't have to watch 24...I still had the channel on FOX just in case (and guess what...I STILL don't like 24...go figure) and quickly changed the channel as soon as the trailor aired.

The trailor was AWESOME!! I SOOO totaly can't wait to see this movie!!! :evilgrin:

Anyways...on to the next thing:
TheXverse.com has posted a frame-by-frame analysis of the X-Men: The Last Stand trailer, with a transcription of the dialogue for people unable to view the trailer.

This is Arclight aka Phillipa Sontag...she has geokenetic powers (she can create earthquakes and shockwaves). She can currently be seen in the X-men comics as one of the 198 to retain their powers after House of M. In the movie she's played by Hispanic actress, Omahyra Mota. If you're wondering what she's doing...she's creating a shockwave of electricity.

[The Stryker]

Thats a girl?!!?

[DrSpengler]

Kinda wish they'd gone with Avalanche for the earthquake-mutant. Ah well.

And yeah, she's very uh..."masculine".

[Raph's Girl]

Thats a girl?!!?

Naw... it's a male mutant with breasts...yes Arclight is a girl. Altho in the Age of Apocalypse timeline there's a male mutant named Arclight. So in the main universe Arclight is female but in an alternate timeline Arclight is male.

Oh check this guy out:


http://www.thexverse.com/assets/gallery/xtls/trailers/trailer/cap130.jpg
This is Quill... you can see where mr. Porcupine face gets his name from. His real name is Maxwell Jordan. In the X-Men comics he's one of the 198 and actually looks more like a Porcupine than the movie. It appears in the movie he's one of the brotherhood but in the comics he's a student at Xaviers. :ohwell:

This is Arch-Angel:
http://www.thexverse.com/assets/gallery/xtls/trailers/trailer/cap064.jpg

This is Raptarr:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/Dierna/TMNT/Raptarr1.jpg

[cqb101]

Actually, that's just Angel. He becomes Archangel after being one of Apocalypse's four horsemen.

[The Clerk]

So...



why no NightCrawler?

[The Stryker]

Cuz he's gay! NYAH HAHAHAAHA!!!

nah just kidding, I seriously don't know.

[AquaParade]

Supposively the x-men 3 game that comes out a little before the movie will explain why nightcrawler is not in x-men 3.

[Raph's Girl]

Cuz he's gay! NYAH HAHAHAAHA!!!

nah just kidding, I seriously don't know.

If that was the case then Magneto wouldn't be in the movie either :lol:

Seriously tho...dunno why Kurt Wagner's not in it...they got every other mutant you can think of in this film...but no Nightcrawler.... the least they could do would have Nocturn (Nightcrawler's altnernate universe daughter who's now a member of eXcalibur in the comics....her mother is Scarlet Witch)... Would be cool to have Nocturn but people would probably be confused by a female version of Nightcrawler who has the power to posses people's bodies...plus she has the same hair as Rogue.

I guess they have plenty of other obscure characters in the movie (like Quill and Arclight). Too bad Squirrell Girl isn't in the movie...woulda been cool to see at least a cameo of her. :lol:

Oh and here's a head shot (from the 198 files book) of Quill... as you can see he looks more Porcupine than human:

Capital idea! Instead of introducing new characters, let's introduce a new universe and new characters.

Ever thought about the fact that there might be people who don't read the comics and probably won't get it when suddenly someone goes "Hey, I'm from the Exiles and I'm your Nightcrawler's daughter."? No, of course not, that's why Spidey has to wear the black costume11111oneoneone

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/Dierna/Quill.jpg
Oh God, this movie will suck! He doesn't look anything like in the comics. I'm not going to watch this!

[KROW]

Perhaps the fact that Nightcrawler isn't in X3 is because of his loyalty to the church. I seem to remember he had a huge hiatus from being in the team because he wanted to become a priest.

But we have another blue mutant to gawk at with Beast, whom I think is far more integral to the group.

[cqb101]

I thought the producers didn't want three blue mutants in the movie, so they got rid of Nightcrawler.

[Brodie]

I heard Alan Cumming didn't like Singer, so he signed off, but then Singer didn't go through with the movie.
I'm sure Cumming is doing better, higher calibur flicks...Son of the Mask 2, for instance...

I have high hopes for this movie...

And Anarky, just cause a character that no one cares about doesn't look like the comic book character doesn't mean the movie will be bad. Gee, look at the X-Costumes... not bright ****ing yellow are they? And Mystique doesn't look anything like her comic counter part, other than the being blue thing. Where the **** did the scales come from?

Even if it does blow (which I doubt), we all have the Wolverine movie to look forward to.

[Raph's Girl]

And Mystique doesn't look anything like her comic counter part, other than the being blue thing. Where the **** did the scales come from?


Uh.. Mystique has scales in the comics now....they made her to look like her movie counterpart.....at one point she had wings too... :ohwell:

[Brodie]

Ok, so them changing the comics isnt my point. I meant it as how not everything in the movie looks like the comic. So they changed the comic to be like the movie, that wasn't what I was trying to explain.

[cqb101]

Uh.. Mystique has scales in the comics now....they made her to look like her movie counterpart.....at one point she had wings too... :ohwell:

You sure she has scales? Last time I saw her (Bizarre love triangle storyline in X-Men) she looked just like she always did.

[Anarky]

You sure she has scales? Last time I saw her (Bizarre love triangle storyline in X-Men) she looked just like she always did.
She looks like she always looked, but she definitely had that scaly look a while back. Could be that she prefers her old look and "wears" it nowadays.

[Raph's Girl]

Remember those posters from about a month ago where it looked like Beast was wearing a pink outfit? Well they're back and more detailed....uh...why does Beast have red hair? :ohwell: And for those wondering...that is not a Sentinal behind Rogue...it's what's left a car on the Golden Gate bridge.

As the images are rather large just go here:

[Ra]

Ai! Angel looks so cool :o As for Beast's hair...I think it might have something to do with the lighting...

I heard Alan Cumming didn't like Singer, so he signed off, but then Singer didn't go through with the movie.
I'm sure Cumming is doing better, higher calibur flicks...Son of the Mask 2, for instance...
Strange...I've heard different...

I heard that Cumming didn't like getting all painted up for Nightcrawler. He even said it on the DVD extras for X2. And there is a point somewhere in the DVD where he says the following while he's getting touched up -

Never, ever again. If there is a sequal, we have to talk.
He may have been joking, he may have been serious. Who knows? *shrugs*

[Anarky]

Ladies and Gentlemen, as well as other assorted scum...

I give you the first clip from X-Men 3. It's all about Wolverine vs. a Sentinel!

Tinman, throw me! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7aHf5rDwas)

[Raph's Girl]

Some have pointed this out and I agree....the Sentinal head resembles an autobot.

[Barkworm]

Oh, come on. That was LAME!

[Brodie]

I hope they change the name from Fastball special to Fastball-****you.

[KROW]

That was lame. What the hell did they do to Storm's hair? It's like she and Jean traded 'dos. Ugh.

[TigerClaw]

a new X-Men 3 TV spot resently aired that featured new footage, This one features a bit of the Iceman vs Pyro fight, It looks awesome, You can view the new spot at youtube.com right here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWUgm8TsfnU).

[cqb101]

Here's a video clip(different from the one above) that shows a good portion of the Pyro/Iceman fight and features Iceman fully iced up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkXbfqAgYaM

[Dr. Doom]

I think I'm gonna try to avoid seeing that until I actually see the movie. I alreadt saw the fastball special and was kinda pissed at myself.

[Dr. Doom]

Dane actually tipped me off to this Interview with Ian McKellen on SuperHero Hype. This was mentioned in regards to The "Magneto" spin off movie.

CS/SHH: Who would you like to see play the young Magneto?

McKellen: I'll be playing the part. [laughter] I don't know if it's in the press notes, but the first time that Patrick Stewart and I appear in [X-Men: The Last Stand], we appear to be 25 years younger than we are. That's been done by a technology never used in film before, which involves no makeup, no special effects whatsoever. We just go into the studio and do the scene as is, and then they morph our faces on to photographs of ourselves 25 years ago. Lo and behold, there we are. They can take any shaped person and they can slim you down, they can build you up, they can bring out your shoulders, change the style and color of your hair. Remove every wrinkle. They removed so many wrinkles from my face, I looked so young that [X-Men director] Brett Ratner said, "You've got to put a few wrinkles back. It's looking ridiculous." It would mean that I could play myself at 25, feasibly, as long as I can keep myself lithe and sounding young. I mean, that's the big story of this movie is once the stars realize that they don't have to have facelifts anymore, at least as far as their work is concerned, Meryl [Streep] and I can go on playing Romeo and Juliet for the next 20 or 30 years. It's astonishing. It's like airbrushing, but for the moving picture

You can check the whole interview out here. (http://www.superherohype.com/news/x-mennews.php?id=4180)

[KROW]

That's nifty, but I saw a picture of McKellen some 20 years or so ago and man was he packin' some suitcases under those eyes. I hope the little scene he described is more convincing.

[The Clerk]

hm... that Iceman/Pyro footage looks like the movie will rock :D

[Lady Venus]

I can't wait to see this movie.:D

[Anarky]

Because I live in the future, I just came home from seeing it. It was amazing. All those who are afraid that it will suck: Don't be. It's so good. Seriously. There's lots of action and there's not too many new mutants. Lots of mutant cameos though and no Gambit. Hooray!

The Juggernaut's friggin' amazing and Kitty's pretty cool as well. And I love the "Last Stand"-fight. Too bad I saw it in German, I so wanted to see the English version, but apparently they don't do that anymore over here.

I'm so going to see it again, if I can get the money.

[Dr. Doom]

I'd like to inform everyone that I read on Superhero Hype that there is apparently a clip after the end credits worth sticking around for.

[Anarky]

I haven't seen it, but people here are known to stop the playback of the film about halfways into the endcredits which always pisses me off. But it could be that they just put the scene to the end of the movie, before the credits.

Only read this after you've seen the movie, or I'll personally sleep with your cat.

If it's Magneto's "return", then it was at the end of the movie over here.

If it was not, can someone tell me what it was?

[ZariusTwo]

I loved the first ending, obviously means there going to continue it one day and that everything is'nt resolved completly, as is the nature of comics.

The movie proved Ratner for the most part is a good director who followed Singer's ideas rather well and only screwed up once or twice, his version of Jean was remarkable. The story itself had promise, but often fell completly apart when it came to further scenes with Jean and Logan. Several characters vanished and the new ones were barley acknowledged. It was pretty rushed in other ways, but again, that's the fault of the script.

[Jo Dawn]

Going to see it at Midnight... Let y'all know when I get back what I think.

Though... I hate Jean Grey and Kitty Pryde, sooooo...

*shrugs* Eh. I'll let y'all know.

It was the GREATEST X-MEN MOVIE EVER!!


...Boy are you going to be smiling...:)

Was I EVER!! I think I cried a little tear of happiness.

Ok, so it wasn't the greatest movie... I wish they woulda used tons less Storm and alot more other characters. Like Angel!! Oy! But they killed SCOTT! And JEAN!!! And Psylocke! If they woulda got Kitty Pryde, too, it would have been the greatest movie EVER. Mystique losing her powers?? ROGUE? That kinda made me sad, and I REALLY wanna know what became of that. Though if I were Rogue, I totally woulda gone and touched Pryde and then gone and did it, hehe. But that's just me, hehe. And I totally felt sorry for Magneto. I mean, it was a real downer...

Sad thing about that is that Kids nationwide will be abusing that phrase to death and give us an ear ache, that is in case they don't do so already. : (

But anyway i thought it was alright. Perhaps the weakest of the bunch but enjoyable never the less.
As Jo said, they kill off the characters too quick imo.

[Dr. Doom]

Psylocke was an excellent example of that. She's supposed to be this crazy ninja and have the blade on her hand and everything... but they just showed her melding through a wall and she was vaporized 5 minutes later

EDIT: It is my recommendation that nobody go to any websites that might possibly have anything to do with movie or X-Men until you see the movie. The best moment of the whole film (the one I previously added to the favorite moments thread) is being talked about a lot, and I've seen in mentioned in several places. It's not storyline or anything, but it won't be anywhere near as awsome if you knwo it's coming. Luckily, I was pleasantly suprised.

[Brodie]

I saw a midnight showing....Was there stuff after the credits?

[Jo Dawn]

As Jo said, they kill off the characters too quick imo.

Oh, I don't think they killed them off too quickly. I don't like any one of those characters. The characters they SHOULD have used were Angel and Rogue more and whatnot. Psylocke, man, the less we see of HER, the better, haha.

[The Clerk]

:D

Great GREAT movie. I loved it. I went to see at Midnight last night with my sis (Jo) and my friends... and wow.



Oh, and JD did have a tear of joy when a certain scene happened :evilgrin:

[Jester]

Ok...so Lets see. 3 mutants de-powered, Mystique, Rogue, and Mr. Mutant Eric Lencher himself. 3 (main character) mutants killed off...all original team members, Scott, Jean and Chuck. I must admit the one that hurt the most was Prof. X. I could care less about the love birds. I just wish someone besides Logan had made the whole "Where's Scott?" connection. I don't blame Rogue for going on with the cure, but I agree with Jo that she should have been used more. And Peter Rasputant needed more screen time. All he did was the "fast ball special" and tell Bobby Rogue had flown the coup. Warren could have had a bigger part too. I didn't even know Psylocke was Psylocke, that's how much a non-entity she was in this whole thing.
Ok...question of the day, what was the secret scene at the end. Our theater didn't get the reel. I know cause the other audience mambers were griping and I just kinda walked out with a member of the management staff...and he said that it wasn't their, they didn't have it. So, what's all the hubbub, bub?

[Anarky]

Jester, repeat after me: Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, Pjotr (Peter) Rasputin. Get your names straight, you Austrellian. :D

The secret scene:

Remember the braindead guy Charles talked about to his students? In the end, we apparently see Moira MacTaggart walking into his room and then we hear a voice saying "Moira." and she goes, all surprised, "Charles?"

Also, about the cure:

Magneto's not gone, you see him in the end moving that piece on the chessboard, and he got four times the amount of the serum Mystique got. So the depowered fellas are most likely not depowered at all, or if they are, their powers are just taking a break. I mean, Erik's powers returned quite fast, so it could be that Mystique's back already and just hanging out with the guys from the NSA. Also, all the others that were depowered, they can be back.

[ZariusTwo]

Yup, the movie was designed to follow into a fourth part that could be taken up if they decide to do it again, the whole "the cure does'nt work" storyline would be solid, with Mutants having a new resentment for Humanity "lying" to them about salvation.

And if there is a fourth movie, we'd probably also see the X-Men called to Ireland, go to Muri Island and face a renegade Proteus and Magneto joined in an alliance

And I do wonder how a Class-Five Mutant, more powerful than Magento, can't take down Hugh Jackman

[Mecha Cow]

Hmm...I really wish I could say I liked it, but I have to be honest and say I thought it was pretty...well...I wouldn't say it was bad, but it wasn't too great.
The plot was all over the place, and stuff like Cyclops (Isn't he like the leader? He didn't even get a funeral) and Xavier getting killed off and the whole 'Phoenix' thing really bothered me...Because they added nothing to the story. And why even introduce new characters like Angel if you're just going to focus on Storm and Wolverine...Again?
Meh, I hate to rant because I'm just going to step on people's toes, but as the conclusion to the trilogy, I thought X3 was pretty dissappointing.

There was one redeeming factor though:
'I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!'
And for those who missed the scene after the credits:
Xavier's mind is transferred to the body of the braindead man in the hospital (It is not explained how).

Xavier's a telepath, the most powerful of his kind, he transferred his conscience into the body himself.:)

X-3 was expected to be not as up to par with Singer's work, but the praise is coming from a first timer to the project like Ratner coming on board and making it work despite the script problems, and sticking close to Singer's version of the characters.

Patrick Stewart has stated if the film performs well they may do a fourth movie, I just think Ratner wanted to leave as many holes in the movie so he'd have an excuse to do another one and finish off the good job he did on the first part. But f*ck if Marvel will capatlise, there too busy making Wolverine movies.:(

[Brodie]

I think X3 signified why Wolverine needs his own movie.

Gripe about X3? Not enough Multiple Man.

[Dr. Doom]

And I do wonder how a Class-Five Mutant, more powerful than Magento, can't take down Hugh Jackman

I think you're overthinking it. It's just a testament to the healing factor. In regards to Wolverine, tho, I think he really kinda lacked a lot of the attitude that typically sets the character apart. His personality seemed to be missing the whole time in lieu of his desire to find and save Jean. Obviously it's not that it doesn't make sense, it's just kind of a bummer. Unfortunately, I came to realize taht I'm never gonna enjoy the movie quite as much as that first time when everything was a suprise and I was in a theatre full of other fanboys/girls, cheering when something cool happened and yelling out "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!". I'm certain more flaws will develop noteably as I place more thought into it and get further away from the positive experiance of the first time.

Similarly to my distaste with how misused Psylocke was, I was very disappointed with the fact that Colossus was only there to throw Wolverine. I really wanted to see him whoop some ass. And I was expecting much more from the Iceman/Pyro encounter too, not just a DBZ style power struggle. It was cool to see him Ice up, and that headbutt warranted a vocalization ("Ooo!" -=wince=-) cause that **** would HURT. ANd I'd said the same thing about Angel, because he didn't even do anything.... my friend stated that he was just a conveniant way to exhibit some irony and that made sense, especially because it completed the original team's appearance in the movie/series.

[ZariusTwo]

I think you're overthinking it. It's just a testament to the healing factor..


I'm not actually, I found it funny Jean was built up as being omnipotent until faced with someone carrying a mutant healing factor, and being the essential star of the movies who can't be touched.

[Raph's Girl]

Welp..just got back from seeing X-3...

It was an Ok movie. Not certainly the best of the lot. That honour goes to X2.

Certain points in it tho:

Prof Xavier go boom! Yipes! But hey! He put his consiousness into a brain dead man...so..uh yay?

So thanks to the Professor's meddling Jean had multiple personality disorder...gee..thanks Professor :roll:

Cyclops went um...somewhere...where did he go? Oh yea....to Superman Returns... :lol: I found his death scene to be rather anti-climactic...but hey since we actually didn't see him die...perhaps he's still alive?? Jean probably killed him after she found out he had a kid with Lois Lane :lol:

Angel..uh yea...why was he there? Oh yea To save his daddy.. :P

Loved Beast...:evilgrin:

Rogue..wait..did she really go all M Day on us?

So yea..an Ok film. Many amusing parts like:

Juggernaut (who is now apperantly a Mutant? WTF?! ): "Do you know who I am?! Im Juggernaut, bitch!"

Wolverine: "Try growing those back!"

[FireFly]

[Krutch]

My review...(very minor spoilers)

Pretty much exacly how I thought it be. Once Bryan Singer left to direct Superman, I knew that the third X-Men movie just couldn't live up to the first two. That said, X3 was still a good movie. But a few things bothered me.

The whole movie seemed pretty rushed. I felt that alot of scenes needed a little more dialogue and the movie itself needed alot more character development. Each scene felt like it was under 2 minutes long and was there to do its job and move on. What made Bryan Singers films work is that they are very character driven stories. X3 was just following plot point to plot point.

I know a few scenes were cut short or removed, so I'm hoping a directors cut comes out on DVD. Wolverine and Icemans exchange in the trailer was removed ("You go out there and you might not come home. She may not come home. Are you ready to do that?" "We're not kids anymore".) There were also alot of on scene reports of a Juggernaut/Collossus fight which, unfortunately, was ditched.

*SPOILER PARAGRAPH*I think what disappointed me most of all was that none of the deaths felt as dramatic as they should have. The first death especially was disappointing. It was like it happened offscreen and they barely mentioned to it again. And where the hell was HIS funeral? The second death was handled a little better, but still didnt reach the peak of emotion I was hoping for. But considering the after-credits scene, this is forgiven. Plus, his character was poorly written in this one, blaming Wolvering for everything before he even knew what happened.The third death was pretty cool but at the same time I was too in awe of all the effects to get into the moment. Basically, I'm glad there were casualties. I was hoping for lots in this movie(i like tragedy). But all of them combined lacked the emotional weight of Jeans in X2.

Now for the things I liked...

-The script is definately the best of all 3.
-The attention to fan interest(Juggernaut's words to Kitty)
-The fight scenes, while over the top at times, were very fun to watch.
-The explaination of The Phoenix was terrific. Since the X-Men movies were always based in a real world setting, The Phoenix being a split personality to Jean was a great idea as opposed to a spirit that travels galaxies.


It may seem like I'm bashing the movie or didnt like it, but i really did. If I were to give X1 a 8.5/10, X2 a 9.5/10, this would probably fall around a solid 8/10. It was good, but it could have been great with Bryan Singers direction.

[Dr. Doom]

[Mandi-chan]

Just saw it last night...

I loved the movie, it wasn't what I expected but it was still great.

I hate to sound horrible, but I was so happy that Scott/Cyclopse was killed. I hated the character, he was just so...ugh!

I liked Jean in this one (her hair looked great this time!), felt bad for her because of her split-personality problem.

I felt bad for Logan too...

Rouge went and got herself cured, but as we saw with Eric the cure wears off. Do you think this may result in Rogue getting new powers? I remember reading somewhere that in the comics Rogue lost her original power at some point but had the powers of all the mutants she had absorbed over the years. Do you think, if we do get a fourth movie, that something like that may happen?

Ending was cool, looking forward to any other X-Men movies we get.

[Anarky]

Funnily, most of your beloved heroes like Missque, Wolvering and Cyclopse don't exist. Also, I haven't seen an Eric Luncher in the movies, but I apparently missed the cafeteria scene anyways. And because I felt like something X-Men GFXy today, I thought I could make something that helps everybody. And yes, it is wallpapersized, and it looks pretty cool. For reference: The red ones are with Magneto and the blue ones are Xavier's crew.
