X-Men 2 anyone?

[Kid Icarus]

I have my ticket for tommrow. I was wondering how many other people were planning on seeing this movie?

Also, I figured this could be like a discussion thread or something along those lines.

I see it tommrow at 5:25 central time.

[The Defibrillator]

its gonna be an awesome movie, but I'm working tomorrow night. {poop}
but i'll prolly go saturday night instead

[cqb101]

I wanted to go tommorow night but my parents are going to a Cher concert, so I can't get a ride. I'm gonna go Sat. morning instead. I talked to a guy on another forum that already saw it and this is all he had to say:

SPOILERS!

Gambit and beast are not in the cerebro scene.(Or atleast he didn't notice)
They portrayed Iceman really bad.

END SPOILERS!

[The Defibrillator]

how did he see it if it wasn't out?

[cqb101]

He works at a theater and got an advanced screening.

[The Defibrillator]

sweeeeeeet! before Two Towers came out, I won 2 tickets for a one wk early advanced screening, but my sister wasn't willing to drive 45 min. to get to the theater.

[Kameko]

Gambit and beast are not in the cerebro scene.(Or atleast he didn't notice)No Fair!! :x I wanna see Gambit!

[Kid Icarus]

No Fair!! :x I wanna see Gambit!

I know! Gambit rules. That sucks Iceman isn't portrayed right... then again i've never read the comics, so i won't know any better :P

[Barkworm]

Seems like in Germany the movie was out a day before it starts in the USA cause I saw it yesterday! :D I didn't like the first movie but the second one was really good! It had cool action AND good dialogues and the way Hugh Jackman portrays Wolverine is just perfect!

SPOILER:

My favourite scenes were:
-Magneto sucking out the iron of that guard, then using it as bullets to escape.
-Pyro going mad and killing the policemen.
-Jean sacrificing her life to rescue the others.
On a TV-screen one could see a "Dr. Hank McCoy" talking to a "Mr. Shaw" and when mystique searched in the database of registered mutants there was the name "Remy LeBeau" on the screen! How cool is that?

[Shadow]

i'm going to see it with a date. happy am I!

[Mars-Chan]

I'm going to see it alone! GO LOGAN!!!

[Karpo_007]

Yeah, probably next week.

[Mars-Chan]

Maybe I'll see it tommorow. Haven't decided yet.

[Kid Icarus]

GREAT MOVIE!

Big supprise at the end :). Very big suprise...

but yeah, no beast or gambit -_-*.

[That Matt Guy]

I'll probably just wait until it comes out on DVD, it doesn't look that great to me.

[CookSux]

Just watched the movie... and it's a LOT better then the first one. I'm the one who can critic movies, and I know a stupid movie from a good one. This was great. Watch it. BTW Gambit is not in it, but his name comes up on a computer monitor. Hank McCoy shows up too.

[Brodie]

I saw it last night. The script is a lot better. I loved the part where Logan was yelling, covered in blood, very Weapon X reminiscant. I saw someone casted as Gambit on a real movie site, like the Move Database or something, and I looked the guy up. It was a stunt guy. So I went into X2, with a full bladder, expecting Gambit pulling off some serious ****. Wrong-o.

I waited 2 and a half hours to piss, just so I didn't miss anything. It was well worth the future bladder problems. I understand now why the previews didn't really show much of Jean Grey, or Cyclops (Well, he was hardly in it anyways). The Nightcrawler visuals and stunts were so damned badass. It's almost enough to make a FanBoy wet himself.

Iceman has come a long way too, more smartass like the comic books.

Logan (Looking in the fridge): Isn't there any beer in here?
Bobby: It's a school...
Logan: So that's a no?
Bobby: Yeah, that's a no.

Surprisingly enough, Collosus (Sp) kicked major ass. It was cool seeing a lot of mutants you read about and so on. And Logan is a lot less cold in this movie, funnier too.

Kid (Flipping through channels): Can't sleep?
Logan: How could you tell?
Kid: You're awake.

Ray Parks was in the movie.Not as Toad though. He was one of the military guys on Stryker's crew. The do a slow zoom in, and his face is camo-ed, in green, so it's kind of a joke. He'll be in X3 anyways.

I hope they put Gambit, Angel and Cannonball in X3. I'm having Gambit Withdrawls. 2 flicks, not-a-glimpse.

[Mars-Chan]

Actually, if you remember, they did show the Beast...only in human form. Hank McCoy=Beast.
And if you remember, they do mention Gambit! It's in the scene where
Mystique is sitting at the computer looking at the plans and has one name
higlighted. If you look directly below it the name "Remy Le Beau" is there
in plain view. MAN, I"M GOOD! *chants* Go, Mars! It's your birthday! Oh, yeah! Uh-Huh, uh-huh, uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh!
I did see Ray Parks in the film. I grinned a huge grin and thought: "Hey, didn't he get zapped by lightning?" (I, of course, was refferring to Toad. :D ) Anyways, to quote the now flat Comic Book Guy:
BEST MOVIE EVER!!!

[cqb101]

I just got back from seeing it, and all I can say is WOW! And yes beast was in it. I didn't catch Gambits name though. Rogue was great in it, and so was Pyro. Hopefully in X3 they will do something with Phoenix.

[Mars-Chan]

I think my favorite line out of Pyro was (if I'm not mistaken):
"You know about all of those mutants you heard about on the news? I'm the worst one!" I beg to differ. STRYKER was the worst one! :lol: :D I hope they have Gambit and the Beast in X3.

[cqb101]

Stryker's not a mutant.

[Leo656]

Just got in from seeing it with my girlfriend and my father, and all I can say is that this is a high contender for the best movie I've seen so far this year. I can't wait for X3. And this is coming from a guy who's never read an X-Men comic in his life and generally isn't too keen on Marvel. Anyone who hasn't seen it yet should go tomorrow.

[The Stryker]

Love the movie!

SPOILER:::



the phoenix in the lake! my god i never thought that movie makers would even touch that storyline!



ENd Spoiler:::



my username is in the movie!!!!!! weeeee!!!!

[Reznorite420]

Was that Nightcrawler that I saw in the TV spots?

[Leo656]

Indeed it was and DAMN if his teleporting schtick aint sweet as hell.

[Brodie]

Yeah, I know they mentioned Remy, and Hank, but didn't show him. And that was what I meant. Gambit was supposed to be a major role in the first 2 films, but the script was changed for each.

http://us.imdb.com/Credits?0290334

The second to last cast credit is for Gambit, yet he wasn't shown. I'm thinking deleted scene. Maybe it was too violent (Though Wolverine's stuff should have been more so), with cards blowing the hell out of Stryker's military crew.

James Bamford (Bamf!) is a stunt guy in a bunch of flicks and TV shows, X-Files, Disturbing Behavior (Hm, Gambit and Cyclops worked together before...).

The DVD is gonna kick so much. Can't be worse than the X-Men DVD, (Not the X1.5 one, that was ok...).

Nightcrawler is a badass, yet really good at the comic relief in this movie. He always tries to give his long introduction, but always gets cut off.

Something I noticed: When Storm and Jean are in the church with Nightcrawler, helping him with his wounds. The posters all around are circus posters about him. One of them is a close up of the Ultimate X-Men Nightcrawler, with the "Smoking" mouth and eyes. And another poster is an exact cover of the first Ultimate XM he was in, the one with the shaded Nightcrawler and yellow smoke around him, just after a Bamf teleport.

Ray Parks is signed on for X3, and even had a miniposter for X2. He WAS one of the Stryker Crew, like I said before:

http://superherohype.com/cgi-bin/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=X-Men/X2/Movie_Stills&image=almostthere8.jpg&img=27&tt=

And did anyone notice Iceman's suit? He got the best of them all. Black with the white lines, but the X's on each shoulder are icicle-reminiscant.

[Kid Icarus]

I just got back from seeing it, and all I can say is WOW! And yes beast was in it. I didn't catch Gambits name though. Rogue was great in it, and so was Pyro. Hopefully in X3 they will do something with Phoenix.

Their going to have to me thinks. The ending of the movie, the sub-plot with Jean getting stronger...

Although I have a friend who thinks they can't get Phenoix with out going in to space because thats what happend in the comics. :roll: .

[Brodie]

True, it did happen in space. But then again Angel, Beast, Cyclops, Jean, Iceman were the original X-Men in the comics, added by the "New" X-Men: Wolverine, Storm, Collossus, Thunderbird, Firestar, Nightcrawler. So they did that differently.

And Mystique is Rogue and Nightcrawler's mother, yet they didn't touch on that, in either films. There's more, but they make it work, I seriously doubt they'd pull X3 into space just for the Pheonix saga.

[Kid Icarus]

They might be able to touch on Rouge, Nightcrawler and Mystiques past as well. X2 was good at carying on a few story lines (pryo going bad, beginings of Phenoix {started in X1 supposedly with Jean and her Cerebro experiance}, along with wolverines past and Bobby's past.)

Then again it could also become distracting... but it could leave way for X4 as well (Rouge getting her flight possibly?)

[cqb101]

I doubt they will do anything with Mystique being Rogue's mother. Mystique adopted Rogue at a young age but in the first movie Rogue is living with a different family.

[Brodie]

I hope they don't do the flying Rogue thing. That'd look horrible.

[Mars-Chan]

I have only one thing to say about that whole flying Rouge thing:
Bamf!!! *disappears* :D

[Kid Icarus]

I have only one thing to say about that whole flying Rouge thing:
Bamf!!! *disappears* :D :lol:

[Mars-Chan]

:D Oh, so you liked that, eh? BAMF! *disappears into another forum*

[ninjapizza]

I thought that gaurd guy looked like Ray Park! When I first say the preview, like months ago, I actually thought that guy was Toad! I hope he returns for X3. Though I hear singer wants to do other things first. Anyway, great movie. Best comic book movie yet, IMO.

[Kid Icarus]

hopefully going to see it again tommrow :D

[Brodie]

Ray Parks did sign on for X3. I think The Sabertooth dude did too.

[Pointblank]

Possible Spoliers:

I saw the movie today. It was great! I actually liked it better than the first. I loved the referneces and spots by other X-men to be. Jubille, Shadowcat, Gambit, Beast. I think that was all. The Phoenix plot at the end was totally unexpected. WOW!
The only downside to the movie was Lady Deathstrike, I didn't like the way she was portayed, hopefully in the next movie we will see her brought back to life as a cyborg like in the comics. Also, where is Wolvy's cowboy hat? He had the huge belt buckle, but the hat is a must have! I can also live with Stryker being the man who fused wolverines bones, although this is different in the comics. And Rogue not being able to fly. Still a great movie for X-Men fans and people who just like seeing a great movie! It was well worth my $3.75!
:D

[Raven]

saw it on opening night with a bunch of buds of mine

and i loved this movie the best out there
but they never told deathstrikes orgin! her and logan used to be married!
a well......best ever I think i'll see it again!!!!!!!!

[The Stryker]

Looks like X3 is gonna happen

i don't know the real names of the actors so sue me!

Nightcrawler
Mystique
Jean Grey
Wolverine
and cyclops

have been heard to say that they're in

but it won't be for a while! oh well good things come in time i always say.....wait i don't always say that! oh god!!!

BAMF! *disappears*

[Barkworm]

but they never told deathstrikes orgin! her and logan used to be married!
a well......best ever I think i'll see it again!!!!!!!!
I think they completely changed her. In the comic she was a cyborg in the movie she was a mutant with the same abilities as Logan.

[Mars-Chan]

I didn't know that. Bamf! *disappears*
