X-3 Review Thread: "Don't you know who I am!? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!"

[Shodokan123]

He says it in the movie... bullet fuckin tooth tony says it... wow i can't beleive they put it in the movie..

If they some how dubbed the actual voice in it would have been 10x better... funny thing is my WHOLE thearter laughed and knew what it was.

It was a good movie... for those of you who have not seen it, stay through the credits!


Shodo rates it: 4/5 stars

Not given much to work with, but with the story they had they did a good job. Special effects were awesome... not much else to say..


"Don't you know who i am?!!!!?!!!! i'm the juggernaut bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Mr.Q]

Ya i saw it he doesnt say juggernaught bitch.

[RockBogart]

Ya i saw it he doesnt say juggernaught bitch.


where u from? cause he said it in the US release

[Shodokan123]

Ya i saw it he doesnt say juggernaught bitch.


um... yes he does...

when he is running and kitty pulls an into the floor...

[Rukuss2k]

I just got back from seeing it, and yes, he does say it. I cringed....

[Viscant]

The line was in, most of my theatre didn't get it.

X3 was a tremendous disappointment. I don't think the hardcore fans were happy with it, there wasn't much for casual fans/non-fans to really care about. A lot of the continuity mistakes were inexcusable. And probably 95% of people in my theatre missed the post-credit part, which was too important to be so easily missed, IMO.

I have very few plusses and a whole lot of critical disappointments. I'm usually pretty easy on movies since as long as I feel entertained, I walk away happy, but this is probably first movie I've seen in about a year where I walked out of the theatre wishing I hadn't paid money to see it. Huge thumbs down.

Ya i saw it he doesnt say juggernaught bitch.Dont Lie you couldnt of seen it he clearly said it, if i mean if you seen the Movie:confused:

They broke somany Laws if you read the comic book you would just throw up.Here's one

Juggernaut - Leech who Nullifies MUTANT Powers had Nullified Juggernauts who is a Human:confused:

Cyclops Dies..............How/Why of all the X-Men he has died the Least in the Comic (I know its not the Comic book its a Movie)

Collosus - Wasnt a Fuckin Collosus(First of All)he had an AMERICAN ACCENT(From Russia)

Logan - The man was 5'3 I mean he was one of the Tallest in the Movie:wasted:

To top it all off they Kill Magneto with the Cure:annoy:(Didnt actually Die they Cured him)

:crybaby:"Not Everyone Heals As Fast As You Logan" :lame: :lame: :lame:Thats when I Just Died:sad:

Ok im done Rambling Now:tdown:

[Dr. Stormlocke]

Pro/s: The juggs line.

Cons: Just about everything else.

I don't blame Ratner, I blame the corporate stooges at Fox, who instead of waiting for Singer to come back after Superman and do the movie, decided they just had to have something to counter it. A rushed, botched job. Instead of sticking with the pre-established characters, they decided to basically bombard the audience with a silly amount of new mutants, in hopes that maybe one or two of them out of the handful would be worth splitting the movie into 1,000 different parts as they all get their 2-3 minutes of screen time. Did you really care about any of the characters anymore? Dark Phoenix? You mean Resident Evil'ified Jean Grey that had the luxury of being turned into a stooge for most of the movie? The action sequences were mediocre at best. The dialogue was 'meh', the forced humor was bad, and the movie clocked in at a mere 1 hour 44 minutes, which I suppose could be a blessing or a curse, I really don't know. All I do know is that's it's a forgettable movie, and that's really sad considering what it could have been.

The best part was when Hamm used his TIME STOP powers!!

[Golden Dragon]

I did my bitching in the 'X3 sneak peek' thread, so I'll spare everybody. The movie was garbage. While I kinda both love and hate the previous two X Films, this one made me appreciate them so much more. And c'mon, Ratner certainly deserves some of the blame.

[Mystic_bash]

....
Dude, wtf atleast hide the spoilers man.

[VA_King]

SPOLIERS



mag got his powers back in the end. or a trace amount of it back. since leech only suppress's powers for a shor amount of time, it is to be assumed that the "cure" was only limited. and they did no testing before hand or at least teh movie didn't show it. so as a plot hole. whoever was cured by the "cure" should surely get their powers back. such as rouge.

wtf no gambit. makes me so mad.

and juggs as a mutant. come on. and not even recognizing charles as his brother. and they left out the "wind" on storms tornado attacks, so she looked retarded.


BIG SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN"T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION SO FAR

charles moved his brain to teh coma dude. that was cool. and the forshadowing in teh class room lead to that. but, i wonder who is going to take on xavier, since it wont be Picard. or at least picards body since phoneix tore that shit up.


and psylocke biting it without showing any of her powers... lame.

[Stanman]

entertaining


badly written

[xjester]

Im ok with it.
Not completly impressed, and Psylocke sucked, but not being a huge X-Men fanboy probably helped.
And colossus not having a russian accent was gay.
Juggernaut line made me wana crap my pants, though.

[donaldducktm]

best part:

I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH!!!!!!

[Captain Ryu]

Fuck, I didnt stay after the credits. What exactly happend?

Btw, Angel looked mad fruity when he spread his wings the first time. When they were trying to give him the cure. lol.

[xjester]

SPOLIERS!!!!!
























The comatose man that the Prof. talked about earlier wakes up and says hello to that Dr, but in the Prof's Voice.
He projected his conciousness onto him.

END SPOLIERS!!!!

I now have the greatist wallpaper ever:

[Shin-RoTeNdO]

I was one of the select few who got the Juggernaut line in the movie. Cyclops dying, Mystique cured, Collosus accent, no Gambit, no Nightcrawler, no Psylocke action, to add to that - I was expecting to finally see Jubilee do something or in this one, some badly writtend lines, etc....

It was okay, but was expecting the movie to follow the comic books more, but my son enjoyed the whole thing.

Saw some people staying back through the credits, but my son is not going to sit still while words are showing and other kids/people are leaving. I knew Mag was not fully 'cured', that ending was so predictable.... wished I sat through the credits.

So they showed Xavier waking up in through the coma patient after the credits?

[DaFlipMastaXV]

Bah, I had to go to the washroom so bad I missed it.

Movie was alright...nowhere as good as the first two.

[_MJ_#R]

fox news 7 minute preview awhile back ruined the juggernaut bitch line..
oh well..

[gouki10]

yo wtf, guess im the only one glad cyc, jean, dies......anyway im glad that fucking characters like psy, jubliee, etc. Weren't there, they are just boring characters.

Also magnus getting his powers back at the end............God like0_0.

guy takes FOUR fucking shots of the cure and survives ............he is fucking beast.

10/10

[X-Treme]

FUCK PEOPLE! Do you know how to go to a movie and enjoy something thats already been established and not in the comics? Goddamn, I've never seen so much pointless complaints, barely any complaint that actually took away from what was already in the movie.

Is this why people bitch about the Ultimate line? Do you not know how to accept things that are different, yet still true in some essence to the character? My god......:annoy:

Juggernaut - Leech who Nullifies MUTANT Powers had Nullified Juggernauts who is a Human



Collosus - Wasnt a Fuckin Collosus(First of All)he had an AMERICAN ACCENT(From Russia)



1) Juggernaut is not human, mutant like everyone else. Hence, Leech sap the powers, he knocks himself out.

2) People lose their accent, my friends have lost theirs and they've only been here a few years, calm the hell down, it was lucky enough we have someone that can pass for Collosus and look YOUNG in the first place.


I swear, I'm tired about hearing all this Gambit/Psylocke bitching all over the damn place. At what point would introducing Gambit and/or Psylocke into this cure fiasco would have prompted them to join the X-Men and stay till the end of the movie? For people that read the comics (for those that do, for that don't, don't jump on me), I thought they'd be a bit more understanding about the whole "working with established characters, offing minors villains here and there" and introducing people when they have good reason to.

OH OH OH, I want it to be like the comics. GTFO with that.:mad: WTF do you think its called an adaptation, not an imitation?

ARGH! End rant...... (And yeah, I know so much people can counter me, so just bring it on)

Why call it X-men, take it and use whats there and twist it.Dont put shit thats not even there:confused:

Oh I get you As long as you see Pixie Fairies with Special Effects you Ignore the Dialog and/or Story Line


Pls do your research Juggernaut is human:arazz:

[Pinnochio]

Umm juggarnaut is a human. He got his powers from some cytrorak crystal which is why he is so buff. Not because he is a mutant.

By the way, wouldn't it be badass if charles comes back distraught because his own student killed him and becomes onslaught? Yeah, i mean they skewed hte pheonix story, so why not skew the onslaught story? that would be so badass.

Damn right

[arcticninja]

goddamnit you people are fucking stupid.

HE'S A MUTANT IN THE MOVIE NOT THE COMIC

THIS IS THE MOVIE

NOT THE COMIC




The best part about the movie was the Snakes on a Plane trailer. But seriously, I really enjoyed it. Beast saying "oh my stars and garters" was the icing on the cake.

The only think that movie was missing was snakes.

[spoon]

One of my main complaints is, for all the screentime and focus Halle Berry got, her character was very unimpressionable :/

[ytwojay]

*spoilers, of course*

I think its kind of lame when people bitch about continuity issues. Yeah, when I saw that scene with Juggernaut running into the wall and falling down, I immediately thought "wtf, he's not a mutant" but you have to let that kind of shit slide when dealing with comic book movies. There's no way they can be true to the original comics, hell even comic series spinoffs change origins and whatnot. And what difference would it have made if Juggernaut was a human in the movie?

These people might as well not even see X3 since the Dark Phoenix saga is basically completely rewritten. Might as well rant about Beast and Angel not being original members of the team.

These are not acceptable complaints. Bad acting, poor dialogue, shitty special effects, etc. are.

Overall, I thought the movie was alright. I think lots of people are disappointed because X2 was such a leap over X1, and they were expecting the same from X3. If you're a fan of X-Men at all, I would still recommend checking it out. At the very least, the special effects were good. They looked way better than the Ghost Rider trailer, that's for sure.

Oh, and doesn't anyone else not believe that Cyclops and the rest are dead? I assumed Phoenix sent them to some random ass nether world, and Xavier was the only one strong enough to get out. There's no way Jean, Cyclops + infinity other mutants are gone forever.

And did anyone else believe for a minute that the "cure" was actually permanent? Because I sure as hell didn't. Leech [at least in the movie] seemed to suppress the X-factor only while he was near other mutants, so it didnt seem like the injection would have cured them permanently. And seriously, are they really going to off Magneto and his powers?

I thought Rogue was going to decide against getting the injection, and that she and Iceman were gonna make out with Leech in the room, haha.

[suleman]

No shit juggernaut is a human, all of us geeks know that. Did you really think they were going to put in that gem nonsense? There is no continuity outside the trilogy that matters - so eat all that bullshit. It was a good movie.

[FlyingGuy]

first off i was a little distracted... but the guy throwing things at wolvie in the forest, that was supposed to be omega red?
apparently i missed psylocke, who/where was she?
Did gambit make a cameo?
IN DETAIL---what did the late ending entail, i didnt stay.

[solace]

I'm sorry but if you're expecting a 2 hour movie that just added a large cast of cameos to have new characters be 100% true to the comic then you're diluted.

"Hi, let's make a backstory that's irrelevant to the main plot and bore the audience with this pointless story of how Juggarnaut got his power from a magic gem and let's add that he's Charlie's brother!"

Anyways, I wasn't expecting much in terms of dialogue and acting so I just figured I'd just enjoy what I can out of it.

Pros and Cons:
+
Magneto and Golden Gate Bridge
Mystique nude
Mutant Cure AoE
Kitty vs Juggs

-
Magneto leaving his ugly ass helmet on even after Charles is assumed dead
Too many cameo mutant characters
Cyclops dead -- every team needs its token douchebag
Iceman vs Pyro

[ViciousSLASH]

Beast saying "oh my stars and garters" was the icing on the cake.



Beast WAS the movie.

I knew it was coming, and when he said O.M.S.A.G. it was great, it made my day. All Beast needed to do was yell out NILES !!!! and I would have lost it.

Also Beast kicked the shit out of those pawn ass losers.

The movie was bad, but entertaining.

Juggernaut line was even better because it was delievered in cockney brIT-ish. OI I'M DA JUGGANAUTS LUV ! OI OI OI OI OI !

The guy throwing things at wolvie was Spike, from X Men evolution.

[FreddyL0c0]

[QUOTE=FlyingGuy]first off i was a little distracted... but the guy throwing things at wolvie in the forest, that was supposed to be omega red?
[QUOTE]


I think it was supposed to be a male version of Marrow

the movie was alright, just no point in calling it the Last Stand. Also, Angel is pointless...Beast was cool, and Storm finaly gets a bigger part, fuck even bigger than Cyke, which really isnt surprising considering how little hes done in the last two movies anyways. There are many instances that made me cringe, bad lines here and there and too many unexplained circumstances.

[crimzonflame]

The Movie Sucked. Whoever Wrote It Can Suck My Dick.

[TheDarkPhoenix]

Sigh.... It was a good movie over all.

But they butchered the story, Phoenix was crazy(which actually worked well)......-_- Juggs was a muntant.... X and cyke died. (X tranfers his mind into someones body for all those who didn't stay after the credits)


The cure doesn't have lasting it seems....


Best thing about this movie is that my love beasted on people (even tho they didn't have her as powerful as she should be) Mystique had short but great scenes... and the effects.

I was just rambling like I said:wgrin:

[BrwnbellyYankee]

i wanna know were psylocke was? because i think everyone is confusing her with callisto.

[MrQuotes]

movie sucked
0 consistency
0 entertainment

[spoon]

psylocke was the asian chick with the blue hair. her final appearance was when she uncloaked infront of the guy who invented the cure, then getting turned into dust by phoenix.

callisto was the chick with the tattoo under her right eye, usually by mag's side

[FallingEdge]

When we first saw the Juggernaut, I yelled "IT'S THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH!"

No one knew what the hell was going on except for my friends. Same with the main scene.

Oh well, movie was aight. No complaints here :tup:

[Rock2k1]

I found this a drop from X2, because I liked the action in that one. Overall dialogue was pretty shitty in X3, but Juggernaut, bitch was good. HAHA.

Anything with juggernaut slamming shit or doing anything was awesome. There were a few memorable action bits that i really enjoyed.

My #1 problem with the movie: phoenix. I don't understand this character. She is so fucking random. I can't tell what causes her to do the things she does. She just stands around during the battle at the end...and then randomly starts killing shit. She is just a walking bomb that explodes at any given moment. She makes no fucking sense.

[sixtymhz]

alright movie... nice effects.. didnt like cycke dying so early, etc... but Berry needs to sit on my cock and spin awhile rebecca romijn sits on my face.

[DS]

I don't care what anyone says, it was a good movie and thats that. As a reader of the original material I can say that of course it was butchered. But, you have to take into consideration that the source material always has to be altered in order to please the casual, non-reading crowd. Batman Begins and all of the other Bat-flicks had their share of flaws as well.

And I wasn't really feeling Phoenix being just a pawn to Magneto. I think the movie should have really dealt a lot more with the character and some crazy showdowns.

Also, I'd like to add that the majority of the flick was basically House of M all over again. In terms of delivering the story and the angle itself.

[Kusanagi02]

I was probably the only one chuckling whenever Callisto was beastin on Storm.

But you know what...I would have loved to see Cyclops leading the team to Alcatraz and bein the one to kill Jean instead of Wolverine. For some reason it felt like the team was way shorthanded...hell if they allowed Angel to fight it would've been even better.

[Epicurus]

I saw it.
It was fucken awsome.

ps - it was fucken awsome.

[TheWholeFnShow]

Did anyone feel like the plot was kinda rushed? It seemed like they were trying to run the cure plot and the Phoenix plot, but it felt like two separate things that should've been done in separate movies.

In all, ok movie. Poor Cyclops...all he does is cry and then die. It's like...calling him for Gene Splice assist and then getting AHVB'ed to death. :looney:

[OrangeCat]

Intsead of completely comparing X3 to the previous films, might as well compare it to other sequels similiar to it. It's by no means a Batman and Robin, but it's quite like another "X" sequel, xXx: State of the Union.

To start off; the action since this is an action oriented comic. Overall I was bored to tears. This isn't to say there weren't some great moments. I think one of the better moments was during the danger room, Colossus gave Rogue a bit of his power in order to protect her from a debris attack. Juggernaut vs. Wolvie was incredible. Wolvie vs. Morlock Guards was decent enough, but other than that every other battle seemed old hat.

The next thing that most people would want to know is, what about the mutant powers? How were they used? Were they cool as fuck? As I mentioned before, some powers were used creatively, Magneto had his moments but as the movie progressed it became clear to make Magneto the equivalent of a metal tossing catapult than being a master of magentism. The very first use of Jean's powers in the first scene was amusing enough but as the movie progressed there's so much of a Hey look at me, I'm a destructive force overload it fails to actually instill any real fear in the audience.

It's hard to say what they were trying to do with the mutant powers. I imagine they were trying to stuff in so many cameos/mutant possiblities, in such a way to distract at how crappy the rest of the film is. There is a lot of "introduction of powers" scenes in the film, that were produced for the sole reason of showing off a power or ability. But it lacked the certain natural introduction of the previous two films.

An example would be Kitty in X1 being like a typical student forgetting her book and then just phasing through a closed door after her fellow classmates. Iceman in X2 creating an icewall not to seperate them from Stryker's men, but also seperating Wolverin from Stryker himself. But in X3 it almost felt like a mutant audition. Even Magneto asked one mutant: "What's your power?" as if he was prepping an amateur for some porn shoot. Basically, powers were expressed in such a way that was more like the comic than a basic action film. The imaginative use of powers descresed greatly with this film. It's one thing to see Pyro set off cars and send them into the air. It's just really boring to see it happen again, only this time with Magneto as his B-assist tossing the cars for him.

Finally, the dialogue. Guess what? My feelings of deja-vu in comparing the dialogue to Triple X wasn't all that far off. Guess who worked on the screenplay of X3? Simon Kinberg (http://imdb.com/name/nm1334526/) the same guy who wrote xXx: 2. I'll just leave it at that.

I'm by no means a comic book purist, in fact I wasn't really intrested in this film in the first place. It might have been AICN swaying me a bit with it's talkback and weekly rumours of the slightly change. I wouldn't go so far as to say: "This isn't X-men" because I imagine to there is enough people here and everywhere who believe it is. But it does bring up the point, do we want the films to exist and be produced so haphazardly to remind us of the comics only by reference and not by the nature of the film? Do we want these adaptions to exist even though they are more like a common movie than another genre by itself?

OC

[BBCampbell]

One point to all of you saying that Juggernaut isn't a mutant.

Yes he is.

In Ultimate X-Men. Also, his costume in the movie is based on his Ultimate self.

Plus, the whole Rogue/Iceman/Shadowcat love triangle is all over Ultimate X-Men (though not so much now that Ultimate Shadowcat is dating Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate Iceman and Ultimate Rogue had Ultimate Sex using Ultimate Gambit's Ultimate Powers ultimately.)

[coco_j]

I think it was good that Juggs was a mutant, it would be fuckin lame if they went on about that Gem or whatever in the movie, it just wouldn't fit. Overall I thought it was great. Mystique turning human was worth it alone, anyone know where to get pics of that or something! DAMN!

Damn its non-adult rating!!!
If only we could see more of that :sweat: :lovin:


ps - it was fucken awsome movie. anyone who disagrees is simply full of shit and over-critical and wrong.

[Dreaded Fist]

movie was entertaining.

The plot/writing could have been better like a lot have said. It was really cool when jugg started running through everything. Lame was the pyro/iceman fight. I was expecting iceman to do something sweet. Not a lot of creativity went into having fun with the superpowers. It was like oh you can freeze stuff so if theres a fire, put it out. When someone get's screentime, i already had an idea of what they're gonna do. One of the reason why I like the comic/cartoon series so much is scenes like when gambit threw a card at Gladiator, Gladiator shrugged it off,tossed Gam into the wall, and jumped on him. Then Gambit pulled out a whole deck of card and flicked it at Gladiator. Scenes like that and others where it seems like there is no way out and someone does someting cool to get out. it made me think how cool it would be to have that kind of power. I didn't get that feeling much in X3. One exception is the collossus/rogue thing, that was neato.

[FlyingGuy]

since this movie has been stated as an "audition for all mutants" ... any notable mutant cameos i might have missed? now, i did catch psylocke now that i think about it, any other subtle ones?

[FistsofFury]

I'm not even going to trip about people dying, or that Juggs' powers are magic based and not a mutant ability.

The movie was just fucking badly written. Period. The dialouge was so cheesy it had mold on it. The storyline was half developed and sub-plots thrown together. The Logan-Jean love story just sucked. The action scenes were cool though. Except the Pyro-Iceman fight. That was the biggest lamest cliche of the whole movie. The 'just stand there and use your powers, and have an elemental tuf of war!'. I don't get how Psylocke just emerged from a wall when she first appeared though.

Hugh Jackman better do something else soon or risk being called Wolverine on the street for the rest of his life.

Hugh Jackman better do something else soon or risk being called Wolverine on the street for the rest of his life.



Jackman has done many other movies since X2. Don't worry his movie carreer is fine.

I guess they ran out of special effects money for the Pyro Vs. Iceman fight. They should have had Iceman be more creative, like putting him in a situation where he'd have to use his ice sliding technique. Or do something with Pyro where he really manipulates fire instead of just throwing it.

I was at least glad to see Iceman freeze his whole body.

if there is an x-4 with this same cast (I hope they all say "no" unless the story is batman begins or spiderman good) the movie should start with Rouge getting banged by Iceman as her powers come back.

I loved when Juggs kicked wolverine out the house.

I think suddenly forcing Jean to sort of love Logan at the end was awkward. Cyclops should have stayed alive and been the one to fix things. Logan has never been a big hero like that. And Storm should have been the leader really. She is fucking second in command.

Stuff like that bothered me.

[FlyingGuy]

...oh yeah, and to my questions a couple posts up... i would also like to ask ( although in fear of getting flamed) what is the big histerical deal surrounding Juggs' line? what am i missing here?

[DaDesiCanadian]

I'm not even going to trip about people dying, or that Juggs' powers are magic based and not a mutant ability.

The movie was just fucking badly written. Period. The dialouge was so cheesy it had mold on it. The storyline was half developed and sub-plots thrown together. The Logan-Jean love story just sucked. The action scenes were cool though. Except the Pyro-Iceman fight. That was the biggest lamest cliche of the whole movie. The 'just stand there and use your powers, and have an elemental tuf of war!'. I don't get how Psylocke just emerged from a wall when she first appeared though.

Hugh Jackman better do something else soon or risk being called Wolverine on the street for the rest of his life.


I had this huge post written up, then pressed back by accident. But this just sums it up. Incredibly badly written, hilariously cliched moments, shittiest dialogue possible, so bad that the actors were forcing it out. The pep talks, the "YOU'RE DOING THIS BECAUSE.. YOU LOVE HER" moments were just so bad. Terrible fucking movie, and that's not even going into the discontinuity with the comics.

you're fucken stupid, if you went into x-men 3 expecting good acting, a deep story line and decent dialogue you need to check yourself into a psychward. Didn't you watch the previous movies?


WTF is wrong with you. X-Men 3 is all about wolverine busting shit up, phoenix vaporizing people, and just good old fashion senseless action and cool characters..... Haven't you seen any comic-book-to-movie flick???
Have any of them had interesting dialogue and good acting? Hulk, Daredevil, Catwoman, Spiderman, X1/X2, Fantastic Four.....Seriously man...when going into watch a comic-book movie you need to be in the right frame of mind.

movie was fucken awsome. you simply fail at watching movies and your expectations are unrealistic

[MagnuScruB]

wow, everyone saying the movie sucked...

i just saw it. i thought it was easily the best of the 3 Xmen. I loved it, action was GREAT, special effects GREAT, everything was perfect. the story was told clearly.

10 for effects
10 for action
10 overall


i DO NOT read the comics. i just watch marvel movies. this movie, by far, met my expectations in every way. now lets see if spiderman 3 can top it.

also, anyone catch stan lee? i did :D

SEe, this guy knows whats up.

I agree, best xmen movie yet.:wgrin:

[Yamizaki]

The only real inconsistency I found was they that portrayed Juggernaut as a mutant, when in the comics and cartoon (the original FOX one, not that crappy shitty recent Evolution) his powers were based on the Cyttorak gem.

Still, very entertaining with:

1. "...I'm the Juggernaut, BITCH!"
2. "Ya gonna let me outta here? I gotta pee."
3. The scene where Multiple Man dupes the war room scanners by making copies of himself at the campsite.
4. Juggs does a Mortal Kombat Deception style uppercut, if you know about the 2-leveled glass floor stage, you know what I'm talking about
5. Beast dropping all those extras, he was about to explain some diplomatic shit to Wolverine, drops a few more extras and says, "Aww, you get the point."

Awesome movie.

[FlyingGuy]

http://imdb.com/name/nm0613741/

i was looking at x3 on IMDB.com... and this douche is credited as being Omega Red, can someone get a screenshot of him, cause i think i missed it.

[Taito]

I'm not watching X3 but somebody in this thread said something to the effect that Jackman's career is screwed.. well he is in danger of being typecast, but he is starring in a crazy scifi flick with Rachel Weisz called The Fountain.. it's the first Jackman movie where I felt that they didn't just cast 'that Wolverine guy' if that makes sense..

https://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/thefountain/

[Tension]

I can't believe some of things I'm reading. If you thought Jugg was a human IN THE MOVIE, then you are a fucking idiot. Let it go. It's not a sequel to the orginal comic. The movies are based off Ultimate X-Men and that shitty X-Men Evolution or else we wouldn't get fucking teenage Rouge, Iceman, and Colossus which doesn't make sense (comic-wise.) This was all establish in the first 2 movies.


Moving on, I thought this was the best X-Men movie so far. Best part of the movie for me was probably the battle at Jean Grey's house. I thought the special effects were used very creatively insted of for the sake of showing thier abilities like in previous movies. Things I didn't like was probably the corny dialouge and the over dramatic ending. The ending should have been more like X-2 and leave some sort of suprise ending so we can speculate what might the X-movie will be about.

[amefall]

movie was wack
spoilers

fuc beast--pointless in the movie, all he does is poses ethical questions and pounce on fools---they dont even make much of him feeling tore between his role in the government and the fact he is a mutant -which i guess the reason he was in the flick in the first place

fuc angle---i trade all of angel's screen time for a cameo of gambit sayin c'mon mon ami

fuc icemen pryo---who really cares about these chars anyway, even if u do y built up a showdown between the two if their eventually battle is going last about 30secs not even a hot 30 secs when two samurai setle a duel with one dramatic blade stroke jus haddoken action---pryo sud of RCed-i guess more time to kiss wolverine's ass

fuc the script--imho the weakest of the 3, this dealt with pretty tough moral / ethical questions, the subject matter deserved more then the chessey dialogue and cliche moments it got

fuc wolervine---the XMEN isnt the wolverine show, the fact that they make him into the leader type role goes against the naure of the character, marvels best kno loner/rebel char playing a scott summers like position-getthefucouttahere, wats next frank castle going to thearpy, vicious calling spike "lets squash things"----"oh its the movie, not the comic, u sudnt come with those expectations", fucdat, i want wolvie to beast, cycke to lead-first two movies alone set them up to be these type of chars, no tto mention the mythos of the series

i guess i REALLY hated the movie cause u dont get the sense that it was a movie about a team, hell ocean's 11, 12 focues primarily on clooney and pitt but damn the other characters shined tho-the story cud have been written so the stars jackman, berry get their sceen time as well as other characters being shown to be integral to the eventual victory. That right there in my mind goes against the mythos of the xmen and the movie's gravest sin

[Rhio2k]

But in X3 it almost felt like a mutant audition. Even Magneto asked one mutant: "What's your power?" as if he was prepping an amateur for some porn shoot. OC

Magneto: What's your power?

Girl: No gag reflex whatsoever! See? *gluuuuuh!*

Magneto: *chuckling* Oh, Charles, I like this one...

[Eminent]

Did anybody else wonder how gay Angel was, I mean on top of that when he saved his father... [Dane Cook]"Thank you angel wearing jean!!!![/Dane Cook]
let me get another thing straight, did this man "fly" from New York to San Fran in under an hour. I mean the blackbird took a while and thats some super jet right? So angel is not only broken, hes gay (broke back maybe?), lastly he has Batmans prep time to know "hey they are going to kill my father, so before I make my next appearance I might as well wait until the last minute after they kill Berus mom and throw my dad off the roof".

And what was with that Transexual looking "shockwave" mutant. Eh yo bloofy, if your reading this then you'll love the last 15 mins of the movie.

The ending should have been more like X-2 and leave some sort of suprise ending so we can speculate what might the X-movie will be about.

You should have stayed after the credits...

[RockBogart]

If you are comfortable with the first two then you should be fine withe this one. ALL the marvel movies have a lot of continuity problems so the point is mute.

[Golden Dragon]

That movie was ass. I can't believe the credits + additional scene really were part of the hour 43 minutes. Worst movie of the trilogy, hands down.

1. New characters who didn't serve any purpose thrown in for no reason.
2. Lame explanation of Jean's Phoenix powers. I didn't expect them to use the comic book's explanation, but that shit was still whack. For some reason Jean is still alive and nobody knows why. Professor X makes a guess as to how she might've survived. This muthafucka is only theorizing, mind you. Y'know, it's like his guess is as good as anybody elses. And what's fucked up is nobody attempts to guess otherwise, or questions him. I mean it's never even confirmed whether or not his 'deduction' was correct, and the audience is supposed to just assume that's how she survived.
3. Beast's interest in the the mutant cure was hinted at but never explored
4. Halle Berry.
5. Cyclops dying
6. For once the story doesn't revolve around Wolverine but he still manages to get all the screen time. I love Wolvie just like everyone else, but this time it didn't make sense for him to be in the audience's face all tha fuckin' time.
7. And a whole bunch of cliche'd crap going on in between.

What's kinda' fucked up is that I wasn't able to laugh at the Juggs line, probably 'cuz I was so perplexed/disgusted with what I had been watching up until then.

The general story of the movie just lacked focus. I mean, why didn't they just dedicate the whole movie to the Phoenix Saga, limit the amount of new characters, and perhaps put Magneto on the backburner this one time??? Shit, he's not the only supervillain in the X-Men universe.

And whoever is bitching about the source material being butchered should watch the previous 2 movies. I'm not saying your complaints are unwarranted, but you should know the deal by now if you've seen X-Men 1 & 2. I mean shit, It's not like the series was exactly 'comic book pages come to life' thus far.

[Bob the Bastard]

He says it in the movie... bullet fuckin tooth tony says it... wow i can't beleive they put it in the movie..

If they some how dubbed the actual voice in it would have been 10x better... funny thing is my WHOLE thearter laughed and knew what it was.

"Don't you know who i am?!!!!?!!!! i'm the juggernaut bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yes, this was awesome, right after she put him in the ground though, I yelled that shit out. Then he went and said it....

[xjester]

Im amazed they got that in there on such short notice.
How old is the video?

[OrangeCat]

you're fucken stupid, if you went into x-men 3 expecting good acting, a deep story line and decent dialogue you need to check yourself into a psychward. Didn't you watch the previous movies?
The thing is...the previous movies had somewhat good acting, decent dialogue and the source material although not deep and still a comic book...was better than this.
WTF is wrong with you. X-Men 3 is all about wolverine busting shit up, phoenix vaporizing people, and just good old fashion senseless action and cool characters..... Haven't you seen any comic-book-to-movie flick???
Have any of them had interesting dialogue and good acting? Hulk, Daredevil, Catwoman, Spiderman, X1/X2, Fantastic Four.....Seriously man...when going into watch a comic-book movie you need to be in the right frame of mind.
I don't think that "lowering my expecatations drastically for an entertaining film" constitutes as "the right frame of mind." If I had that ability, I'd be enjoying all sorts of greatness such as Just like Heaven or RV. Comic book adaptions with bad acting and dialogue should not be an absolute equation. Just because there are a lot of bad comic book adaptions and bad films, doesn't mean future films should follow that pattern. Granted comics aren't the most deepest of material at first...but to use 80's action movies as a reference. Where X2 and X1 were the equivalent of Bloodsport, X3 was the equivalent of This film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?search=best+fight+scene&v=uxkr4wS7XqY)

OC

[Bob the Bastard]

and psylocke biting it without showing any of her powers... lame.

WTF are you talking bout? Never saw Psylocke in the damn movie...

How they gonna have Multiple Man be a bad guy? Starting someone out who is a good mutant as a bad in the films is way beyond tailoring storylines to fit onscreen....

[Geronimo]

I thought the dude in the forest was supposed to be Marrow...? Who's supposed to be a chick...*shrugs*...

Anyways, I thought the movie was alright. Better than 1, not as good as 2.

Personally, I think you can see that the movie was rushed.

Oh yeah, and it went by fucking quick. It seriously did not feel like 2+ hrs.


Jus' my $.02.

- Geronimo

P.S. I also missed out on the post-credits scene...but I'm seeing the movie again anyways, so I'll catch it then.

[Bob the Bastard]

And I wasn't really feeling Phoenix being just a pawn to Magneto. I think the movie should have really dealt a lot more with the character and some crazy showdowns.


Her being a pawn of Mags was a tribute to the Dark Phoenix saga as far as I thought. Instead of Mastermind getting her into the Hellfire Club, Mags got her into the Brotherhood.

So who do we think the really hot chick that could sense mutants and had superspeed was supposed to be? An algamation of characters?

[xjester]

Ok.
Guy in the woods was Spike from X-Statix.
Look It up.

Simon Kinberg said it was kinda supposed to be a mix of Callisto+Caliban
In comics, Caliban could sense mutants and callisto did have enhanced senes/reflexes. Problem is they decided to show her as enhanced reflexes as superspeed which was questionable and made everyone think she was supposed to be a male quicksilver, which wasnt the plan.

[RockBogart]

yeah the chick who was Callisto had Caliban's and I guess* insert speedy mutant* powers.

Did anyone else notice the way Phoenix was dressed?
Looked like Scarlet Witch to me, which would go along with Mags wanting her for himself, to kind of be the daughter he never had.
I dont know, just a theory.

They take a lot of shit from the Ultimate X-men continuity, like :

Iceman/Rogue/Kitty relationship
Madrox joins the brotherhood orignally
Juggernaut being a mutant
Magnetos costume

[Sacr3D]

as a fan of the comics this movie was torture

[white shadow]

I knew exactly how the movie was going to be like ('cept "I'm the Juggernaut Bitch!":rofl::clap:) and I would expect hardcore fans would too. Why complain about the movie? You deserve to lose your 8 bucks because I don't see how you guys could predict the movie was going to be "godawful" (from trailers and such) but STILL SEE IT?:confused:

Personally I enjoyed the movie, I think the reason Magneto still has his powers is because the several vials of the mutant cure overwhelmed hisbody and cancelled the effect.


BTW did anyone get that "Bruce Campbell/Evil Dead" vibe from Multiple Man? I was hoping he would say "Groovy." lol :lol:

[xjester]

In the comics, Leech's power was only temporary, meaning that in all likelyhood, the cure would only be temporary.

If you never read a x-mem comic which are most people, are never played the games the movie will be good/really good to you.

If you any knowledge of the marvel universe then more than likely you'll have issue with it.

All in all it was a good movie, and if i knew nothing about the xmen and phoenix. I would say it was a great movie.

I can only say it was enjoyable for the watch because of so many changes. All in all anyone who says this movie sucked is just being a hater. It is not bad, its just not really "x-men" more of a movie based on the likeness of a few x-men.

I heard someone say its kinda like xmen evoloution...This is very true...Its alot like that.


On a side note...

Also I also felt like they had callisto and Jean kinda play the roll of mags kids. And shockwave as avalanche while having the fat guy kinda as the blob. (making the orginal brother hood )

If anyone read the house of M this movie is much more like house of M than X-men imo...

I still love how they showed off SOME of my girls powers, (loves phoenix) Altho i wanted to see her burst into flame and start speaking and trying to fix what she did at the ends but ah well.

The scene with Phoenix/jean and Logan was hot tho, it really did a good job of showing how much tension there is between the two. ANd how she craves emtional feelings as the dark phoenix. Also they made mags seem kinda like a jerk/cruel dude when he left mystique behind.

Mutipule Man was perfect when he walked out the lil cage and did the smerk "I was like haha that perfect!"

Also they got rogues name wrong!! Its anna marrie

SPOILERS EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE TO BE EXPECTING THAT THIS LATE IN A MOVIE THREAD THERE WILL LIKELY BE SPOILERS

I personally don't take issue with them straying from comic continuity so long as it's consistent with the other movies. I thought it was really good, save for Emo Cyclops; it's almost like they thought letting him have stuble and take a motorcycle up the Lake would make him more like Wolverine, but it failed miserably so they just decided to kill him.

On another note, was anybody else watching Wolverine react to Prof. X exploding and drawing parallels to the phone booth scene in Anchorman after Jack Black punts Baxter off a bridge?

[Don Knotts]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?search=best+fight+scene&v=uxkr4wS7XqY

This makes life's toil all worth while. Thank you OC.

As for the movie, it was much like Land of the Dead, or The Hulk movie. Very un even. The good parts are great, I'd say even the best in the trilogy. The worst parts are like the worst takes, just terrible acting, unconvincing, boring, and limp.

Keep in mind, I think the other two movies are not that great either. The first one had terrible fight scenes, and was only good beacause it for the most part, it did not try to be a "superhero" movie. It took the characters seriously and did not force them to fight, use their powers, or talk about big wold changing issues of sci-fi oriented nonsense.

The second was more of a "superhero" movie, still had good characterization, but was rather lacking in terms of notablitity.

Last Stand is much more notable than the first two, that's for sure. It's just that sometimes, it's notabley retarded and awful.

movie was fucken awsome. you simply fail at watching movies and your expectations are unrealistic

I fail for expecting a decent movie. Right. I like almost every single movie I see. It is hard for a movie to dissapoint me. Hell, I liked Ultraviolet. But this movie was just a shitfest. Spiderman, Hulk, Punisher, X1/X2, Batman Begins, all were good movies. Most were good action flicks, with some decent dialogue. Get your fanboy head out of your ass, and realize that even a movie with the X-Men which you seem to love so much can suck. X3 is in the same category as Fantastic Four and Catwoman. Garbage.

[MagnuScruB]

I like the guy regrowing his arms fighting wolvie. also, the scorpion fight in the forrest was cool.

I guess no one else saw stan lee in the movie. he is in the first 2min of the movie. kitty was sexy also.


by the way, you guys see the snakes on a plane trailer in your theater? people acutally were laughing at loud at A. Jackson. poor guy man, this movie....

[Epicurus]

Ya, you are messed up. And X3 was better than the first and second, you need to have ur head examined.


Get your fanboy head out of your ass, and realize that even a movie with the X-Men which you seem to love so much can suck. X3 is in the same category as Fantastic Four and Catwoman. Garbage.

Im no fanboy, hell I didn't really like the first 2 that much, I was expecting a mediocre movie with recycled action. But it was a decent movie with sweet action.

Co-sign. I enjoyed the movie for what it was. I wasn't expecting it to follow the comics, only to follow the previous movies.

Although, I do think the special effects weren't as good as they could've been. I still enjoyed it though.

:tup:

[voodazz]

I don't get all this "Kitty is soooo fookin' hawt" crap. She looked like she was 10 years old! There was nothing remotely attractive about her.
I've heard of Team Jailbait, but this is more like Jailbait XTREME!!

haha... I spelled it with an "X". I'm so clever.

I was impressed with he rubber juggy suit. It was extremely detailed, right down to the veins, for a minute there I thought ol bullet tooth did some massive bulking up for this movie. I also liked the way he beat the piss outta Logan.

Another thing I liked about this movie is how they handled Magneto's and Wolvie's powers. In the first two movies Mags seemed a little underpowered, but in this one he was truly a beast. (Golden Gate Bridge ownage, ftw).

In the first two movies, Wolverine's healing power was a joke. Seemed like he got knocked out every other scene, but in this movie his healing factor was crazy fast, I'm talking bone wolverine fast.

Btw, wtf was phoenix doing to those people?? Was she vaporizing them? Was she turning them to dust, ala War of the Worlds? It looked like she was digitizing them or something, thus making it look pretty weak to me.

Human Mystique is HAWT... to hell with that Kitty bullshit.

Angel did rep the gayness. My god, did you see that fruity run toward the window he did?? I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Oh and I also found it hard to believe that he flew across the country as quickly as he did. It would've been more believable if he stowed away on the Black bird.

Personally I liked the "Resident Evil zombie Phoenix" look and yeah, I'd still hit it hard and fast!

Callisto was HAWT. Again, to hell with that Kitty bullshit.

I loved the Magneto/Pyro combo attacks.

I cried out "NOOOO!" when Berooz's mom got shanked by porcupine-boy.

Was that asian chick really Psylocke? Pretty weak sauce if it was.

Overall, I liked this movie. 'nuff said.

[Agmaster]

blah blah blah filler ...enhanced reflexes as superspeed which was questionable and made everyone think she was supposed to be a male quicksilver, which wasnt the plan.

[Epicurus]

X3 might not be as bad as some people say but no way is it better than Batman Begins and Spiderman.


I think batman was a 'better movie' as fast as acting and production goes, but i was simply more entertained with X3....spiderman was good too, all 3 were good




and ya, kitty was teh hot:sweat: :sweat:
but human mystique and devil-jean were hotter

[OrangeCat]

Angel did rep the gayness. My god, did you see that fruity run toward the window he did?? I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
For some odd reason, the guy sitting beside me busted a guy laughing when Angel unveiled his wings. I guess it was just too EMO for them to see it.

[The D Man]

The Callisto/Caliban thing is kinda weird. When the cast was being announced way before the movie came out, I remember someone posting a picture of somebody (I'm guessing it was Dania Ramirez, the one who played Caliban) to play the role of M.

If anybody knows, M is a mutant who actually has superspeed, super strength, telepathy etc. So that would have fit the bill better than Callisto or whatever.

[9TNine]

Wait, where the fuck was Psylocke and Jubilee?

I was stuck sitting in the front row, so I didn't get to see everything so well.

Sad that the first thing I thought of when I saw Sentinal was ROCKET PUNCH!

EDIT: Nevermind, figured out Psylocke. The whole walking though the wall/chameleon thing she did didn't seem like her though. According to some interview with the actress though she "could turn into a shadow"

I laughed so hard people were actually commenting "it wasn't THAT funny" but they just didn't get it.. I think me and Clever were the only people in the theatre who got it roflroflrofl


Does he actually say that "i'm the juggernaut bitch" in the comic, or did it start with that dub thing?

Dub thing.

[ViciousSLASH]

Did anyone else notice Magneto's main power was to throw cars ?

All he did was throw cars, and bridge surf, but that was just that one time.

The movie was full of puns, puns upon puns, it was PUN's of FUN ! OMG !

[BBCampbell]

First off, I saw the "Juggernaut Bitch" thing on YouTube. Not funny. Fucking retarded.

My take on this movie: Visually great, but lacking depth.

It's like MvC2 where filling the screen with all kinds of random shit is called deep and technical.

[TheSix]

Ending was gay.

They pissed on Juggs.

They did not know WTF they wanted to do with all the characters. Just like Mortal Kombat Annhilation.

Rouge was overdressed.

Kitty made me feel (even more) like a pedo.

And yes, some people obviously knew they jugg quote. When it finally starts to die down around the net....here comes this fuckin' movie. Half the people didn't know WTF was so funny.

[Rodimus]

i liked the movie, thought it was quite entertaining. The whole time we were saying don'tcha know who i am..lol

our crowd was good they/we all said i'm the juggernaut bitch...lol

the only bad thing was there were so many mutants and it was hard for everybody to get shine time. i wish they would've shown multiple man fighting. seeing psylocke at the begining and the end was okay-

overall the effects were cool, i give it an 7.5/10

[BBCampbell]

Ellen Page is 20 (who just looks 14), so it's all good.

Anna Paquin was barely in this movie (which is just as well because she's gotten fat. Her face was hella chunky in this one.)

[MADDK]

where was nightcrawler?!!?!!

i like the movie overall but i probably woulda liked it even if it sucked ass just cause im a huge fan of xmen. i can understand how some people would say it had flaws, and its obvious that it did have a few. but visually, it was pretty good. i still enjoyed it since it was totally not from the comics all of it was new to me. my only big complaint is that all the badguys were fags and had stupid ass powers liek that porcupine guy and that "girl" that looked like a *** that clapped and broke those plastic guns

I also felt that the movie seemed to have ripped/borrowed/stolen/rehashed concepts from previous to films.

X1 Magneto flipping over cop cars 30 feet in the air + X2 Pryo sending flaming cop cars vertical 30 feet in the air = Pyro with Magneto Car Toss Assist.

X1 Magneto: We are the future Charles, Not them!
X2 Magneto: You are a god among insects never forget that. (Might as well say "We are gods among insects".)
X3 Magento: I say we are the cure!

OC

[Superking]

Apparently, Alan Cumming, the actor that played Nightcrawler in X2, hated all the makeup used for NC, so he asked not to be in X3, but he did do the voice over for Nightcrawler in the X-Men The Movie game.

[Irennicus]

I liked the movie.

I didn't like Nightcrawler in X2, I thought the accent was too cheesey. It's sad, because he's probably my favorite mutant in the X-Men universe. It's those same reasons that I'm glad they didn't put Gambit in this movie. I'd have expected them to fuck up a Cajun accent even doubly-so.

[fluffy-sama]

I still can't believe they put that line in the movie. XDDDDD whoever wrote that show is my hero... omg i laughed so hard...

>.>; and I thought that dub thing was actually pretty funny.

I wasn't really concerned with depth or storyline, I just wanted to see (mostly) if Juggernaut actually finished the line XDD but even so, not knowing much about x-men I still enjoyed the show a lot... Guess I didn't feel like thinking too much and just wanted to see people smash things and throw cars and shit.

Hmm i thought crawler was badass in x2....well in the first segment. as an introduction to the character it was fine as well as the german accent.

Yea that was just some random guy wiht the same powers. Nothing to get excited about, shame NC wasnt in the movie

[iamtrung]

The Phoenix story did not follow. Everyone dies so I guess there will be some time traveling in X4.

[ImMrDurp]

I guess I'm not with the majority - I enjoyed the movie. 4/5.

[The Damned]

They did not know WTF they wanted to do with all the characters. Just like Mortal Kombat Annhilation.

I know it's been said before about the character thing, but I guess that I'll use this part of TheSix's quote because the Mortal Kombat Annhilation analogy is rather good about part of what makes me unsure of where I stand about this movie. (That, and I haven't seen seen XXX, so I can't tell how accurate OC likely was with his metaphors.)

Anyway, the character deaths in this made me feel rather uncomfortable. Even counting the ending, you know whose supposed death--the death that no one even cries over on-screen--really bugged me in particular. However, I'll go into that a bit later.

There was also the annoyance of a lot of seemingly unnecessary (minor) character deaths on the villian side, primarly at the hands of Phoenix--is there even a need to call her "Dark Phoenix" when movie Phoenix is desire incarnate and thus essentially a "dark"/"evil" hedonist whenever she flips out to that mode? I mean not counting those (temporarily) cured (and that's assumed that Magneto isn't an anomaly AND he gets all of his powers back), if they are going to make (read: screw up at this point) another movie, what interesting villians are left?

Storm OVERKILLED Callisto's ass with a needless, "grand" display of her electrical powers like OC implied. Quill, Arclight, and "Psylocke" got vaporized by Tetsu...er Phoenix. Mystique is powerless. And since none of the other (mutant) villians from X1 returned (did Toad actually die? Was it because of Halle's infamously horrible line?), that means that the villians likely have to be human like in X2.

I suppose that makes sense given all this showing of the Trask character and the President's willingness to start a (civil) war, but I'd feel better if we didn't just have Magneto (again, assuming he's an anomaly), Pyro (assuming that he limped away before Jean started using atomic bitch-slaps on everyone), Jamie (who wasn't really a much of character and more of a power display...though perhaps it worked it Jamie's case) and maybe Juggernaut (assuming that he survived Jean pummeling the building with her unlimited mind) as potential villians for X4: Origins of The Search for More Money.

That said, I want turn back to one of the main reasons why I'm not sure whether I stand on "this movie was crap" or "this movie was average" side. Besides the unevenness, the unnecessary trunucations (which are from necessary changes, like making Juggernaut a mutant whose isn't Charles' stepbrother), the corny dialouge and acting at times, and the general lack of character development, I was pissed off that, as I expected...well, someone else has already said it better:

movie was wack

fuc wolervine---the XMEN isnt the wolverine show, the fact that they make him into the leader type role goes against the naure of the character, marvels best kno loner/rebel char playing a scott summers like position-getthefucouttahere, wats next frank castle going to thearpy, vicious calling spike "lets squash things"----"oh its the movie, not the comic, u sudnt come with those expectations", fucdat, i want wolvie to beast, cycke to lead-first two movies alone set them up to be these type of chars, no tto mention the mythos of the series


I haven't read comics in general in this past year because of my freshman year of college, so perhaps I've been left with the bad test of Maddrox Wolverine™ having been every for the better part of the 21st century, but seeing Wolverine as now the official main character somewhat disgusted me.

Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against Hugh Jackman—he seems quite likable, kind of like Bruce Campbell—or his portrayal of Wolverine (since most that can be blamed on the script if there are problems and he’s one of the seemingly better actors, like McKellen or Stewart; wish I could say the same for Berry and Paquin, but I’m digressing). It’s just that as “awesomely cool” as Wolverine is found to be by some people, that’s has to wear out over time. For people like myself who don’t really like Wolverine’s character all that much in the first place, well….

*sigh*

I guess it was only a problem for people into comics like someone said earlier, since those the masses don’t read comics and don’t have to worry about having Wolverine in 11 comics per month; they thusly don’t have to scratch their heads about continuity either…or horrible arcs (ye gods, I just reminded myself of “God Loves, Man Kills II” in “X-Treme X-Men”…the horrible art re-burns my mind’s eye).

*another sigh*

…I hate the masses.

I’ll stop though, since we all know horribly I digress and how I somehow manage to “talk to myself” by now.

P.S. Of all the plot holes, did anyone find it so damned weird characters able to get around so easily? So…Iceman manages to get to SF before Rogue, who leaves the night before, despite the fact that he seemingly, somehow, went alone? Okay….? If Magneto’s “troops” were so close to SF, as I suspect, then similarly, how did Wolverine get across the country on a bike so quickly? Even if it was the course of a week…is possible to go from wherever in New England the mansion is to somewhere that’s a day’s walk within SF?

And hell, that’s even assuming that Magneto was near SF? If not, then we have to assume that problems lie with Pyro’s terrorist attack on an SF facility and Magneto moving that many people to SF so quickly.

Gah. I give up. Especially since I just reminded myself when Magneto moved the bridge, it seemed like it suddenly turned dark.

P.P.S. The girl that played Kitty is 20. I should check imdb, since that doesn’t seem write. Then again, I’ve seen older people look much younger then they are, but they’ve generally been Asian. And that Ashmore boy (and his twin brother) are like 26 or something.

Movie casting is weird when you know the facts….

Oh, Yeah EDIT: I can't be the only person that found the "I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch!" line forced and not funny while knowing the source of it, can I?

Similarly, did anyone else think of Akira when Jean started tearing shit up?

[OrangeCat]

The Phoenix story did not follow. Everyone dies so I guess there will be some time traveling in X4.
The thing is, we don't actually see Scott/Cyclops die. If anything it kinda looked like he was being posessed by the black markings that Jean was infecting him with during the kiss. Jean is the Pheonix so I doubt that being a class 5 mutant that her sub-concious side would allow the body to perish like that at all. And Xavier, well just pay attention to the thing after the credits. DUM DUM DUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM.

This isn't to say they aren't dead, but it seems more like a not so clever ploy to just get rid of some actors who are tired of the franchise and possibly bring them back with other actors in the future if ever needed.

What scene are we talking about though? I was talking about the initial scene because I kept calling her "Tetsuo" in the back of my head anytime she went postal. I'm currently assuming that you mean the end seen though, when she really went apeshit on existence.

P.S. Oh, and nice Sinister avatar. Good to see that someone used that great picture of Sinister from Wikipedia.

[Zephyranthes]

Superb post, TheDamned. I think I pretty much agree with all the points you made. Great observations.

It's just sad that they pussified Cyclops again. I only watched X-Men once, back when it came out, and I don't remember him doing much in that movie. X2, I watched that maybe 3 times. And Cyclops didn't do jack in that movie, except lose two fights and get brainwashed. He might have also had one line of dialogue in X2, when he shook off the brainwashing and said, "Jean?"

But damn... X-Men 3, there was no Cyclops love whatsoever. I just don't get it. I can sort of understand that he isn't exactly a "fan favorite." And I'll admit, for years I hated Cyclops, solely due to the horrible voice actor who portrayed him the '90s X-Men cartoon. I don't think I started even respecting Cyclops until I finally played some Capcom games and heard him say, "Optic Blast!" and "Gene Splice!" and "Cyclone Kick!" and "I did it!"

But damn it! Over the years, after reading great X-Men stories, it's obvious that Cyclops IS the X-Men. He is the heart and soul of the X-Men, the living embodiment of everything for which the X-Men stand. Cyclops is to the X-Men what Captain America is to... Uh. America. Or something.

The point is, trying to force Wolverine into being the moral center of the X-Men is just plain wrong. It makes the movie not feel like an X-Men movie. Hmm, I should sue Fox for false advertising.

I'll spare you the pain of ever wondering about the film and just supply you with quotes from said film:

Darius Stone: Wars come and go, but my soldier stay eternal.
Agent Augustus Gibbons: I like that. Who said it? Jefferson? Patton?
Darius Stone: Tupac.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darius Stone: The fate of the free world in the hands of a bunch of hustlers and thieves.
Agent Kyle Steele: Why should tonight be any different?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[after he kills Charlie]
Agent Augustus Gibbons: See? I told you you should've killed that bitch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[after he kills Charlie]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gen. George Octavius Deckert: He's only one man. What can one man do?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darius Stone: Welcome to the first tank-jackin' in history.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darius Stone: [Darius is speaking to Lola, a car shop owner and his ex-girlfriend, about the need for a new truck] Besides, if we're gonna roll, we're gonna need something with a little more muscle. Somethin' nasty.
Lola Jackson: [smirks] I can do nasty.
Darius Stone: [smiles at Lola] I know you can.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darius Stone: [to Toby] We need firepower. Do you have anything that shoots bullets?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darius Stone: [Darius is waiting for Toby to hack into the Dept. of Defense at Lola's car shop. Lola is waiting with them] You know, you don't have to wait up.
Lola Jackson: You think I'd leave you alone with my car?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zeke: [repeated] If its got wheels, we can jack it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Deckert quotes Jefferson to justify his actions the President]
Gen. George Octavius Deckert: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots."
President James Sanford: "... and tyrants." *That's* the *end* of the quote.

[the President punches Cobb, but is quickly restrained]
Gen. George Octavius Deckert: Feels good, doesn't it? To get your hands dirty?
President James Sanford: Fuck you.

Lola Jackson: Did the President just quote Tupac?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darius Stone: How's the jaw, General?
Gen. George Octavius Deckert: I think of you every time I chew steak!
Darius Stone: And I thought of you every night I spent in prison!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uptight Businessman: You got any advice for us?
Darius Stone: Well, Dick, perhaps you could tell your members to stop buyin' country music, stop burnin' crosses, and stop shootin' black folks. Hear me? Now, if that don't work, try a cookout with free food. Preferably fried.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darius Stone: The things I can't do for my country.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toby Lee Shavers: You want me to hack in? Into The U.S. Department of Defense? We're talking 500 acres of hardware. Cray supercomputers, encryption chips, not to mention more firewalls than the NSA, CIA and the IRS combined.
Darius Stone: Exactly.
[hands his bag of chips to Lola]
Toby Lee Shavers: Hold my chips.

[The Damned]

Superb post, TheDamned. I think I pretty much agree with all the points you made. Great observations. *snip*

Thanks, I'm surprised that it was coherent enough.

However, it's not like any of it was original, since it was mostly me agreeing with OrangeCat, ytwojay, and TheSix since I usually tend to agree with them.

Hell, you reminded that I honestly can't remember Cyclops talking in X2. Similarly, I don't really remind him talking that much in X1 either.

Ugh. Maybe this is why we won't be seeing Marsden in X4 besides the potential "not so clever" character replacement technique known as "death" like OC stated: He's too tired of his character getting screwed over and not even given a chance, especially if an initially secondary comic book character like Storm can have bitch of an actress ask and demand for more.

...And he seemed like such a nice guy too, but maybe that's because he never gets to talk even outside the movie.

The point is, trying to force Wolverine into being the moral center of the X-Men is just plain wrong. It makes the movie not feel like an X-Men movie. Hmm, I should sue Fox for false advertising.

You totally should.

If that European guy can try and sue about the fraud that is Christ, then you have a shot. Especially since everyone knows how inept Fox is and has something to be annoyed at them over.

x1 made 200mil, x2 made 300mil, x3 is suppose to make 350-400

Ugh. You just reminded me of another plot hole:

How do they even know what Sentinels look like? AFAIK, there hasn't been any allusion to Sentinels on-screen and there definitely haven't been any appearances by "real" ones, especially given the fact that I personally remind Trask being in the movies before X3. (It's possibly though, given that I haven't watched X1 or X2 in a while.)

You would think that it would kind of be important....

but ya i dont think Scott is dead.

Even if he isn't, as Zephyrantes implied, he might as well be. He's a non-entity, especially compared to what he should be.

Dead or not, his absence allowed for Wolverine to become the de facto leader, despite the fact that Xavier appointed Storm (which even Xavier said screwed over Scott).

*sigh*

Poor, poor Cyclops; he didn't even get bang Emma.

[Taito]

Then it's probably a good idea that they never really showed the 'Sentinel' on camera. Yeah it was amateurish fanservice bullshit, like the entire movie, but I think it was handled pretty well if they absolutely had to cram in a Sentinel cameo.

True.

Still a plothole, even if it's fanservice. As evidenced in the other two movies and even sometimes in this one, you don't need to make plotholes to have tributes or allude to things.

Fool! You know you're supposed to yell "KANEDA!!!" instead.

[Zephyranthes]

Hmm, y'know what, I did a google search on James Marsden and Cyclops. I came across an old article that mentions how Cyclops would have a reduced role in X-Men 3 because Marsden was gonna go film Superman with Bryan Singer.

http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/584/584997p1.html

Note the date on the article, however. So I don't know what the deal is, but I guess it would be fair to say that Hollywood cut Cyclops' balls off.

[white shadow]

Fool! You know you're supposed to yell "KANEDA!!!" instead.
Actually my friend said "KANEDA!!!" too.:rofl:

BTW did you see any resemblance to Bruce Campbell from Multiple Man Damned?


My only REAL problem with the movie was the fact that the trailers hinted at a HUGE GLOBAL WAR and it was only a relatively minor centralized conflict. 'Tetsu... er Phoenix' mellowed me out with her onscreen destruction nonetheless..:wonder:

SRK must investigate.

And someone here said that if you don't know shit about X-men, you'll like this movie? Not true, I've got myself and two other people off the top of my head to proove you wrong...
Other than MVC2 I don't know shit about x-men and I think this movie sucked.

[Pimp Willy]

I fail for expecting a decent movie. Right. I like almost every single movie I see. It is hard for a movie to dissapoint me. Hell, I liked Ultraviolet. But this movie was just a shitfest. Spiderman, Hulk, Punisher, X1/X2, Batman Begins, all were good movies. Most were good action flicks, with some decent dialogue. Get your fanboy head out of your ass, and realize that even a movie with the X-Men which you seem to love so much can suck. X3 is in the same category as Fantastic Four and Catwoman. Garbage.
Wait...

you say Hulk is a decent movie, but then go on to say F4 and X3 were garbage? Are you kidding me? Hulk was terrible, F4 was enjoyable, and X3 was great.

In my opinion, a movie doesn't have to be a slave to it's source material (see: Harry Potter 3 and 4, X3, F4, Spiderman) to be good. In fact, I give them props for taking their own view of the X-men, and giving it to us in film. Want the old stories, the old characters, the old everything? Go read the old stuff. Much like Ultimate brought us a new take on the old stuff, so did this movie. So did X2, X1, Spiderman, Spiderman 2... you get the idea.

To everyone hating on this movie like you're Magneto opposing the human race, what exactly was so bad? Does having too many characters crammed into the movie really kill it? Because they tossed the Stepford Cuckoos (who most of you probably have no idea who they are) in the background of one hallway scene, does that mean the movie now sucks because we didn't get to develop them? Or because "Psylocke" showed up and was killed off without doing a fucking thing? Or maybe because we didn't see magneto do anything new with his powers? Fuck no. The movie was fine.

Except Rogue... they sure know how to fuck over that character in the movies : /

[Dangerous J]

IMO, sinister would be the best choice, even with "realist" approach theyve been using. They could just call him Essex.
MAybe he could find cyclops , stumbling around injured near Alkali lake , and experiment on him in one of his labs or something. They could have Marauders/Nasty Boys be the "cannon fodder thugs" role.
and bring in Gambit, Emma/Psylocke to the team, and flesh out colossus more.
Team being:
Gambit
Emma/Psylocke
Iceman(with ice-sliding)
Kitty
Colossus
Rogue(since the cure is shown as being temporary to MAgnus, she may regain powers)
Beast/Cyclops(whoever they get back) as the "adult" char if Jackman/Berry dont come back.
Xavier(if stewart returns)

I just wanted to quote this laughable comment here.

I find this rather funny. I really do. This coming from the same person that said X3 is better than Batman Begins. You're a fool to think that. I don't care how they do it, why they do it, and what they do with it. But, if it has a shitload of inconsistencies then its just not cool.

And I can really go into a Batman Begins vs. X3: Compare and Contrast ordeal here. But since we're talking X3, we're gonna stick to the topic.

X3 was a 'fun' movie to watch. It wasn't something that I was expecting to be good firsthand. I knew it had more potential to suck compared to the other 2 X-flicks. X2 felt a helluva lot more like "The Last Stand" than X3 did. X3 was more of a "oh shit! Jean lost her brain. she's gonna go kill her some mutants and evaporate some humans! QUICK! Summon Magneto and a bunch of other mutants that we have to throw into a 90 minute flick!"

Thats not fun to watch. Wanna know why Batman Begins and Spidey are so much better than the X-flicks? They take the time to develop the characters between the action scenes. They flesh it out a lot more than Wolverine: The Movie. Because thats all X3 was. Wolvie: The Quest For More Screen Time.

But, like I mentioned in my initial X3 post: as seperate entities X3 is good for what it is. If you throw too much thought into it with the comic book storylines and whatnot you'll ruin the fun of the movie. Which I did, because as a comic book reader I'm supposed to do that. Pick out the flaws and move on. And this movie just had a lot of them. From a comic book standpoint.

I wasn't expecting Bryan Singer quality here because, well, its the guy that directed Rush Hour, correct? So I went in with low expectations. To me, the movie was fun and average. It wasn't epic as X2 was. X2 just felt like everything was going to hell in every scene. Thats what I liked about it. It was tragic. X3 was just.....I don't know.....a rollercoaster? Quick and to the point. Which is fun if you're gonna fill the entire movie with action scenes and shit. But the plot was just weak altogether. And thats where the inconsistencies come into play. No real character development.

But anyway, I'll stick with the comics for the foreseeable future until Bryan Singer returns or when they get the X-franchise back on track.

And this is how it all goes for me:

Batman Begins >>> Spidey movies >> X2 >>>>>>X1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>X3

Mind you, Superman Returns still isn't out yet.
