x-men 3 discussion (spoilers)

[bam wannabe]

so the movie isnt out yet. but the midnight showing is just around the corner.
we can still discuss on that we have heard or plan on seeing from the movie.
plot wise, i dont know much. except even after this they are making a magneto movie and a wolverine movie (wolverine film is rumored. but magneto movie is confirmed) (if it takes place after this movie or not is beyond me. probably prequels to events leading up to the first x-men)

oh, and after the credits roll... stay in the theater. the director says theres "something special after the credits for true x-men fans"... so im basically more excited for that than the actual movie.

anyone else see the clip all over youtube.com of them in the danger room? if the whole movie is like that clip, im not going to be happy. although the final battle in the movie is said to be "the most violent fight yet in the x-men series."

so, what are your thoughts of the movie based on what you have heard so far? and do you know any juicy details on the plot/story?

[digitard]

I think you've got it reversed.

The Wolverine film is confirmed, most likely a Prequel, and the Magneto movie is a rumor and I doubt it will happen.

[bam wannabe]

i probably do. i merely heard this from a friend. so i will have to go look crap up for it i guess
i honestly doubt a magneto movie would be interesting. although the clip of his childhood at the concentration camp from x-1 was a very cool thing to see.

[WaffleBaron]

I'll go watch it wednesy night, all alone, with noone else to bother me.

[bam wannabe]

just got done seeing it...


go see it!
its easily my favorite of the 3. i wont say anymore, even though i did put "spoilers" in the title, i know people will throw a fit over things i say if they havent seen it.

but, i will say i actually felt sorry for Magneto in the end. and i wish cyclops had a bigger role.

[MoeMag]

Didn't you see the metal chess peice move

Oh yeah... Wait till the END OF THE CREDITS!!!

lol yeah i sat there and waited until after the the credits. the people i was with were like "wtf, that was a waste of my time" because they didnt get it.

and yeah the chess piece moved, but i still felt sorry for him in a way.

Worst. Adaptation. Evar.

Way to completely blow the best story arc in the Marvel lineup, Rothman. I know, I know, you just had to beat Singer to the market.

Ratner was a great idea too.

/pissy

Cyclops is annoying. Even in the comics I got tired of his attitude. Nightcrawler & Wolverine are my favs. Then again I did like Gambit in the cartoon series.

If you're a newbie x-men fan, you *might* like this movie. Maybe.

If you're a "I got a box of X-Men comics and been a fan since John Byrne...", don't even bother wasting your money.

Worst adaptation. The other two were entertaining enough, and the plot lines bent lightly enough that you could forgive them. This was terrible.

Do. not. mess. with. the. Phoenix. Saga. Period. This is one of the strongest storylines ever told in comicdom, and apparently the Daredevel/Elektra fiasco taught Marvel nothing. Why not keep shredding sacred stories?

Ok, ok. I'm a geek. Let's forget the Phoenix retelling that is still making me nauseous. Let's look at the other goodies:

So I guess someone forgot to tell the director:

1) Prof X & Juggernaut are 1/2 brothers?
2) Juggernaut is *not* a mutant?
3) If Kitty Pryde phases you into a floor, you DIE?
5) That surrounding Juggernaut by concrete is EXACTLY how to beat him?
6) That those are not Callisto's abilities?

I could go on, and on, but these are the hardest to swallow. Star Wars was saved by E3; X-Men was just killed by it.

well I havn;t read any of this thread....but I'm seeing the movie in like 30 minutes soooooo

where's 4?

good points though. i was wondering why they never mentioned the whole 1/2 brother thing


hm, so juggernaut doesnt have the mutant gene in his blood? so the whole deal with him losing his powers and hitting the wall part... that wouldnt have happened?
i dont know much about juggernaut. other than the half bro thing, so hes just a regular person but really strong? enlighten me on some facts here

[Grey Goose]

Sorry, I erased #4 because it was a bit too "in depth".

#4) Ok, So the X-Men have the Danger Room & Blackbird, so I waited the whole movie for Praetorian & the Imperial Guard to show up, and... nothing.

So that was #4.

Cain Marko, Charles Xavier's 1/2 brother, stumbled upon the Gem of Cyttorak, which gave him his powers. His powers are mystical in nature, not mutant... so yeah, Leech would not have affected him...

[RoadDawg]

Haven't seen the movie yet... no matter what you say Goose I'm still going to spend the $8 to see it.

I want them to do something with the Sentinels in a movie but apparently Singer isn't looking at doing another flick.

[tribalman]

the main thing that pissed me off. he's MAGNETO! in the show from years ago, to get people to his asteroid/refuge mutans step into an orb magneto controls. SO WHY DOES HE HAVE TO RIP APART A DARN BRIDGE! heck, he could have given each brotherhood member a trash can, "here stand on this" and gotten them to alcatraz faster anc cooler, silver surfer style. just to give a nod to him cause he got cut. and yeah, being pheonix and all, why was she trapped under water for months(at least, hard to judge time scale)? if she can rip people apart and turn them into dust with her mind, i would assume swimming would be easy!! also, i found the cure-tillery freaking hilarious. otherwise, the movie made me mad.

and angel..... emo
