Five minutes and twelve seconds into X-Men 3

And allready the movie is retarded.


Mckellan and Stewart look just wierd with the anti-aging effects. Stewart looks like a fucking bald chink.


So that put me off straight away. Then... five minutes in I see this:

"The not to distant future?"


GREAT ONE GUYS.



I'll watch the rest of the movie and report back on the entire thing but.. yeah, pretty fucking glaring error like that doesn't bode well.
 
You've got it?!?!?!
 
Had it for over a month, just got round to watching it now.
 
Mind if uh....
 
In the future they dont have time for both the o's in too
 
I happened to see a bit of it as well...

I wouldn't pay money to see it in theaters.
 
Finished.


Meh... It's not an awful movie by any means. It's not really that good either. I'd put it barely above average really. It felt disjointed and lacking cohesion.


Paquin had about three lines and about three minutes (if that) of screen time. Her one scene with Logan which lasts about 20 seconds was complete and utter crap. He doesn't seem to care that shes about to go and do the thing she does. This totally stamped on their relationship for me.


I'm too tired to review the movie right now but it is not on par with the first movie and nowhere near the level of the second.

As I said, it's worth one viewing, I didn't totally hate it but I was seriously underwhelmed by it at the same time.

It just feels wrong.


MEH MEH MEH.
 
So they pretty much dropped the ball? I'll have to see it for myself sometime...

I'll hook you up with it, don't worry.
 
Yep, I refuse to go see it in theaters just from what I had heard about Rogue's decision and some rather surprising deaths.

Which is sad because I was such a geek for the first two, I saw them both twice on opening day, and I may not even buy X3 on DVD.

How hard could it have been to follow some of the comic book plotline and stop focusing on teeny bopper romances in this new one???
 
The only good thing is at least Storm acted like Storm this time, and Beast rocked.
 
The movie was okay for what it was, a mindless summer FX flick. The Rogue angle fizzled and went nowhere, Angel was pretty much a wasted effort and a useless subplot, and for some reason Jackman played Wolverine like Clooney played Batman this time; sorta for laughs and bad jokes. And Catwoman should have showed us Halle Barry can't carry a superhero movie. She's cute as hell but way overrated as an actress...

Overall, the movie was just mediocre.


Interesting side note re: the XMen Superman connection: In XMen, James Marsden plays Cyclops, a guy who gets his girlfriend stolen by a more popular superhero. Tiring of the cuckold role, Marsden leaves XMen for a part in Superman, when he plays a guy who gets his girlfriend stolen by a more popular superhero. Seems like the guy might be typecasting himself as a pantywaist...He should be the supervillain in Superman 2: "You stole my bitch, now I'll fix you Mwahahaha!"
 
It was a case of Jar Jar Paquin as well. Why didn't they actually give her something to do? She was barely more than a cameo in this and her exhange with Logan was unacceptable. He's like "yeah, think about it then do what you want, whatever", then just blanks her from his mind. The Rogue/Wolverine dynamic really worked in the first two but they not only didn't care in this film they activley made it a non-issue.

I agree about Angel he was just wasted and used for a few shots of fly-overs, he only had a few lines himself they were trying to cram so much in.

I thought Mckellen was great once again though, it's hard to be bored when he is on screen, and I thought that Beast was probably the stand out performance and newcomer character to the mix.


But all in all the movie packed no emotional resonance. It just didn't strike a chord with me at all, and the first two did within the 2 hour confines of watching them. There were more than a few who were just phoning it in and the film just felt very patched together and unsure of what it was trying to accomplish. I think the plot was weak from the get go, it lacked focus and it lacked any real meaning.

It is a shadow of the previous films but it's still unfair to lump it in with faliures like Fantastic 4.

Watch it once, and pray that Bryan Signer made Superman Returns right.

The bitch wasn't even going to reprise her role if Storm didn't get enough screentime. It's all about Halle Barry! Halle Halle Halle! If you any poster galleries you'll see what I mean.
 
I have never understood the allure of this woman. she seems rather plain in every way to me.
 
NO PAQUIN MAKES :rwmad:
 
^Amen to that.

And not just because I like her as an actress, but it seems like such a waste of the character, who is one of the most popular X-Men of all time. Way more than Storm. Blech to Halle Berry.
 
KITTY FUCKING PRYDE CAN FUCK OFF TOO
 
So can Iceman!!

I wanted Rogue to go bad in X2 and run of with Pyro. Hehehehe.
 
Iceman is fucking Michelle Trachtenberg.
