Sean Connery as Gandalf? - Page 2

I heard Indy might have a son in the new movie (though I hope he doesn't). Just a rumor though, take it with a grain of salt, as the movie ain't comin' out until July 4th, 2005. Yes, I know the release date. Yes, I would have marked my calendar if I had a 2005 calendar. Yes, I would have already bought tickets if they were selling them. I am a huge Indiana Jones fan, even bigger than I am a Star Wars fan. I love the movies THAT much.

I hate to burst your bubble, but it's confirmed that he'll have at least one kid in there, though not sure what gender it'll be.

BTW, why DON'T you want him to have a son?

Aww... but I liked that annoying asian kid. Or at least he seemed alot mroe useful that that prissy lady screaming at everything.

I liked Raiders of the Ark and the Temple of Doom the most myself. But the three were all pretty good. Not very often a movie with more than one sequel does so well (aside from Star Wars and LotR).

Sean Connery as Gandalf?
Don't make me sick, he doesn't have the look of wisdom, age (not that kind of age) and all those other things that Gandalf is supposed to have.
Gandalf, or Olorin, as his real name is, he is a maia, semi-god, one might say, and he has existed since the beginning of time... Sean Connery? No.

I really like Connery, don't get that part wrong, but as Gandalf he simply isn't the right guy.

**azure turtle** · 02-05-2003, 06:13 PM

Yeah, I think Sean Connery is awesome... But I can't see him playing Gandalf. I think sir Ian McKellen is doing a great job with that role. Can't wait to see him in X-Men 2!

Those were awesome photo manips, btw.

**Karpo_007** · 02-05-2003, 06:15 PM

He's in X-men 2?

**azure turtle** · 02-05-2003, 06:30 PM

Yup. Ian McKellen plays Magneto in both X-Men 1 and X-Men 2.

**Karpo_007** · 02-06-2003, 12:24 AM

I knew that! I tought you were talking about Connery!

My bad I was unabe to read it right...

Oh! LOL!!!

Sorry 'bout the confusion.

McKellen looks like a joke in that ugly helmet he wears in X-men...

**Karpo_007** · 02-07-2003, 11:05 AM

He looks older than Magneto in comics, but other than that I think he looked fine.

**HorseTechie** · 02-07-2003, 01:16 PM

Whew.. I thought Azure was saying Connery was playing as Mageneto for a moment there too.

But yah, I personally think McKellan looks better for Gandalf's part.
