X-Men 3

Looking forward to it? Think that they're dragging it on a bit? Discuss here my friends.

Personally, after reading a few articles in a couple of film magazines, I think it should be a pretty good film. I thought that they did well in the 2nd, it turned out to be better than the first even (in my opinion). Think this one could be even better than 1 and 2?

How ya doing, buddy?

Yes, I am quite looking forward to it. I loved watching the second one and the teaser got me even more excited for it.

The new trailer premiers next Monday during the 2 hour 24 special. I can't wait to actually see some good movie footage.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm concerned that it's going to be pants and kill off any chance of further films. I thought the first two films did a good job of establishing a universe, but I think it's a shame Bryan Singer moved on (though yay for Superman).

It has potential, that's for sure, but I think Brett Ratner might not have been the right man for the job of developing that potential. I also think they've might have tried to cram in too many characters as there seems to been annoucements every other week that a new character has been cast for X3. Oh well, we'll find out soon enough I guess.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The one thing that I'm worried about (based on pictures and the teaser trailer) is that there are too many mutants in this movie. This might be the last X-MEN movie and because of this FOX tried to put in as many characters from the comics as possible. 'Cluster Fuck' is the term that comes to mind.

I can't wait for the movie. The event that Magneto loved to foreshadow in the first two movies ("hay lets delcare war kthxbye") appears to actually be set into motion with X-Men: The Last Stand. That gets a plus in my book; it's a nice way to kinda wrap things up.

I was speaking idiomatically.

This image pretty much speaks for itself. Anything Ratner is attached to, I have no interest in.

Juggernaut

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There are multiple things wrong with that photo, but I cannot pinpoint any of them.

FELIPE NO

I wonder what X-Men they will introduce. Which ones haven't they covered yet?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I loved the first two movies, so I will definitely be seeing this one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The X-Men are the stupidest characters ever, so the film will only be decent at best. Although the first two films were enjoyable, they were awful adaptations of the comic. Ugly black jumpsuits, Rogue as a 9-year old, Senators turning into stupid blobs, etc. And now, Bryan Singer has left to ruin Superman.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

.....

I liked him in Snatch, and Lock Stock, but that is disturbing.

I hope the movie is good though, I still want an X-Men 4 with GAMBIT. He was great in the old X-men animated series, and who doesn't love doing the "Royal Flush!" in the Capcom Fighting games?

How ya doing, buddy?

I think it's official that this will be the "last" X-Men film, and that they're treating it like a trilogy. Here's a quote from the director:

Quote:

"Well, it seems to be the last of the series," Ratner said of the eyebrow-raising title for the third film, "X-Men: The Last Stand," due May 26. "We wanted to make sure the audiences knew that this was a trilogy. Even though they weren't made together like 'Lord of the Rings,' this is really closure for the X-Men series. ... This is the last stand for sure."

Who knows about spin-offs, though. They are planning a standalone Wolverine film with Hugh Jackman.

As for X3 itself... Eh, I really don't know what to expect. I agree that they seem to be jamming way too many "new" characters in one film. I fear the introductions of the mutants themselves will outweigh the plot - like, "Hey, fans! Lookie! It's Beast! There's Angel! There's Shadowcat! We don't even need a decent storyline!" We'll just have to see, I guess.

All this coming from a guy who apparently reads the Mary Jane comic book.

Fucking LOL, Megalith. You're as queer as the day is long.

archangel, i think gambit might be in it, and beast

Behold and weep.



I was really hoping this image was a joke. No amount of "well he's different from the comics" makes that picture ok.

Gambit was removed from the script after one of the guys from Lost turned the role down.

Beast, Shadowcat and Juggernaut are new.

Five will get you ten he looks like that because it's an FX costume, so they can use a physical reference for "shine spots" as well as digitally paint over it in post-production instead of just making Colossus completely CG.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

bleh, i liked gambit a lot from the cartoons... that's too bad.

Much like Venom or Carnage - Ive never understood this huge overt attraction to Gambit. He's not a very interesting character as a whole.

How ya doing, buddy?

Do you know which actor from Lost was going to play him? I'm trying to picture one of them as Gambit but it's not working >_>

Well, its a rumor on the internet, so it doesnt have much weight

Right you are. Gambit sucks balls. Not a very interesting character, and he could get his ass handed to him by pretty much every other marvel universe character including dazzler and jubilee.

I hope they do some forced perspective to make juggernaut larger than life. I always pictured him to be about 12 feet tall.

How ya doing, buddy?

Dude, I think he faught Charlie Brown and Charlie Brown beat his ass so hard, Gambit was burping farts for a week.

Well, see, things in comic books don't translate well to film. (Anyone else remember the Generation X TV movie? Ooof, gut punch. Was worse than the Nick Fury TV movie with David Hasselhoff). But the reason Juggernaut is *SO* huge is that it's suppose to play off of his sibling's handicap. Notice how Juggernaut is strong and stupid and Charles Xavier is crippled and smart. Not very subtle, but it comes across as such in comic panels.

I don't know how film productions works, but that does look wrong. It looks terrible. I would wager that most people aren't familiar with how film production works. That does not make them a dumbass. Furthermore, I'm not 100% sure on where this image was released. If Marvel themselves released it, why not apply the after-effects to the image so we know how it will look in the film? If this was simply a leaked photo that is something else. His pose seems to say otherwise, though.

Then you should not have spoken.

Uh, did you bother checking the X3 offical site? No? GUESS IT'S LEAKED THEN, DUMBASS.

Golly, Ms. Anderson. You're an angry lady.
