I've seen the movie and honestly i'm disapointed. The movie wan not a bad movie, but as for what happend in the movie event wise was entirely wrong. They promised so much and gave soo little. I had high expectations for this movie and my expectations were shattered in the worst of ways.

Phoenix's part was chopped all to hell. She was to be the "star" of the show. Honestly to me 2 big parts doesn't equal the "star". You got to see what her powers could acomplish but yet you never really saw her do a whole lot. Her look was nice and was well done but her overall performance was lacking.

Angel was told to have a great part and would show what makes him great. He makes very little action in this movie and if he wasn't in the movie it wouldn't have made a difference. Again his look was right the actor was a good choice but his  role was almost nothing. So much promise and so little effort.

Collosuss was as well told to have a great part. He looked cool fighting, but he wasn't a huge part. They basically had him there for muscle in the final battle and that was it. Also does anyone remember his nationality? I think the director messed that up completely.

Wolverine and Storm were the two main rolls in this movie. They were everything in this movie. Their parts were done well but why is everything through their veiw? Why isn't Professor X the one leading the expedition's? When did they become the leaders of the X-men?

Ok overall I did like the movie but was expecting  soooooooo much more.

    In X1 and 2 Singer didn't follow the exact story but he captured the feel of the original comic IMHO.  Singer made great movies.  That being said this movie isn't "bad."  But if falls short compared to the first two.  The story was not correct at all.  It was loosely based off the real story and I didn't like how it unfolded.  This wasn't an XMEN movie if you ask me and I felt cheated when I left the theatre.

    Superman returns better be worth it Singer.

    I liked the movie, you just have to think that the movie universe of X-Men is diferent from the original or the new x-men, or whatever twist they make up...  if you think it that way, you will stop looking for analogies and start enjoying it a lot more, oh and Halle Berry as Storm sucked big time
  • xIMPxxIMPx Member Posts: 191
    I understand it's not going to follow the original plot, but I just didn't like what they did with certain characters.  I didn't like they added more characters that really didn't need to be in the movie and excluded some great ones (Gambit, Apoc etc.)  Also, where the f*** is Nightcrawler?  IMO they killed off this series for further movies.  But as I said before it wasn't a "bad" movie.  It's just a bad sequel that could have been a great end to a fantastic trilogy.

    Never seen it, but I think it's bad. Why? They put an open casting call for extras calling for "odd and strange looking people" when they were filming here. It was like Barnum & Bailey puked on this city for awhile there. Bleh.

    best thing about the entire film was jugganaught saying "don't you know who i am? i'm the jugganaught bitch!'.. i went with some work mates to see it, and we all burst out in hysterics when he said that.. got some odd looks.

    incase you don't know what im on about........

    I was kind of letdown, saw it last night. That tornado spin fist shit Storm was doing was lame, so was Phoenix all together. The effects were badass, and when she had the black eyes and the veins and all that id totall ask her for a date and something extra, but beyond that it was almost like they forgot who she was while making the film. In the early trailers of the movie they showed her in the Phoenix form (the actual bird) outside a window of a house, was either her house we see in the movie or the School. What the hell happened to that?

    I still haven't seen the movie yet but, Wolverine and Storm always had the big part since the first movie. Are they the 2 most favorite X-Men of all time or somthing? I like them though.

    Collosuss was Russian and they completly messed up Juggernaught for two reasons:

    1) Juggernaught is not a mutant, he gets his powers from a crystal
    2) Juggernaught is Xavier's brother, not some random person

  • theanimedudetheanimedude Member UncommonPosts: 1,610

    Frankly, the entire movie was a bomb.

    Since when (other than the new TV show) can mutants temporarily transfer their powers by touching people?

    COME ON! That annoyed me so much.

    A matrix clone if you ask me.

    I give this film 10/10 JUST because of that line. Seriously, juggernaught wins!

    The only one who can "take" powers from another person is Rogue, Kitty can make ppl walk through walls when she touch them. If u are talking about when Colossus turn Rogue into metal, it's more like he touch rogue to transfer it's power to her... even if in the comics Colossus is kind of immune to Rogue's power... they even f... together lol

    I saw it yesterday i thought is was good. Some things thought didnt flow good compared to the other movies but i think it was good, it could of had more in it and some ppls part were really small that i thought would be bigger, that was the only problem
  • ghost047ghost047 Member UncommonPosts: 597
    That's the problem with people and movies. If they have something to compare to, they will. X-men were created more than 50 years ago and you guys think they can put that much history in 1 movie, c'mon. It's like Da Vinci code, everyone is saying "there is so much missing from the book" DUH!!!! It is impossible to put more than 500 pages book into a movie and not missing anything.

    As for the movie, I saw it on Friday and it rock, Brett Ratner (remember he directed the movie not wroted) is as good as Brian Singer. So it is not his fault if their is some flaw in the story. But like all movies, their is always something we will not like. I the first one, people complain about Wolvie not animal and savage enough so they change it in the second, anyway I will not right all the exemple but I know for a fact that people will always say something they do not like about part of the movie but those are litlle detail. The movie still Kickarse, can not wait for the fourth one to see what Professor X will look like (who they will take to do him).

      The whole Juggernaught thing irked me...I was like woah...thats definatly not the Juggernaut we know. pshhh he was a random guy...and since his powers were given to him from a ruby, why would Leechs powers have negated his?
  • AldaronAldaron Member Posts: 1,048

    Such a shame - I never understood why hollywood feels the need to jumble things up of the original storyline - whatever it be - when it doesn't even add to, or help the story, but is only detrimental to it's "health".

    I thought the change in spider-man that his web ability came natural was a nice - although not really necessary - touch, that helped signify him more as a true blue out of the ordinary superhero. But rarely does a change that is neutral, or positive(imo) happen to our modern movies.

    A movie made for children. The worste ive seen in a while. No point in backing my arguement since it is really not worth my time. It was nice when the credits rolled.
  • EmyrnEmyrn Member UncommonPosts: 149

    Haven't seen it yet, but I do know that there is another scene after credits rolled. I'm sure you can find the spoilers if you do a search.

    Just saw it and wanted to throw in my 2 cents. It was a good movie and fun to watch, but it wasn't that spectacular. I used the be the ultimate X-Men nerd when I was a lad, but you really can't blame the cast or crew for the so-so feeling of the movie. It is hard to do a movie with so many good guys and so many bad guys and such much lore. Even with 3 movies it just isn't easy unless you focus, and I mean extremely focus on just 1 good guy and maybe 1 or 2 bad buys. This is the reason why the Spider-Mans are so damn good. It is also the reason why the inevitable Wolverine Spinoffs will be so damn good.

    As for the killing off of characters I could care less. No one is truely dead in these types of things, and those of us who watched all the credits know that even more.

    Lastly, the rewriting of a lot of the X-Men lore doesn't bother me. They included the important things and then decided to tweak the other stuff to better tell the stories. I do however, have 2 complaints. One, Sabretooth's character should have either been true to the comics, or left alone for use in the Wolverine Spinoffs(Which they were unaware of at the time I suppose). And Two, Rogue should have had the proper powers and the proper accent. I don't care about the age.

    Oh, and one final thing. Does anyone smell a possible spinoff for Angel? It would explain why they included him and his back story but barely used him, and the whole Apocalypse ArchAngel story would be great for a movie or 2. The Casting of the character also leads me to believe this.
