Are you kidding? This has Phoenix in it! I'd kill my own mother to see it!
Well, not my own mother. Maybe someone elses. I really do not care if the writing is complete crap, as long as we get to see the firebird thing just once.
There looks to be so much fan service in the film I think it'll be awesome no matter what. And yes I too am willing to kill someone elses mother to see it... Hmm I bet my roommate doesn't need a mom anymore

That's cool ccs, thanks for not just bashing the movie like some people do. I'd suggest at least a rental...unless the movie does end up sucking, in which case I'll probably shed a single tear....or many many single tears
Now I think I'll just rent it. Too bad, the first two were awesome. I think Brian Singer leaving to do Superman Returns made more of an impact than people would think.
Just so everyone aware that clip was a chopped down version shown on Leno when Hugh Jackman was on.
The loss of Bryan Singer did make a huge impact, I'm a huge fan of his, heck my e-mail address is an homage to him. Though oddly if you just compare the trailers of X3 and Superman Returns (which is as dumb as judging two books by their cover) it just seems like X3 is so much more exciting. My X-Men fanboy roots outweighs my love for Singer and honestly I never got into Superman, he just always seemed like a robot, a boring boring robot. I'll see both movie though, heck I'm a comic book fan above all else. Gotta support the big ones so the small ones can get made!
I never really liked Superman either, at least the movies and such. The villains were allright, and the new Superman game seems to get the right idea ("If ANYONE else can do it, be it Spider-Man or the Hulk, it's not big enough for Superman" was one of the quotes from a maker)
In fact, I've always preferred Marvel over DC with the exceptions of Batman and the Flash. Maybe Green Lantern.
But seriously, this clip sucks ass. Acting? Horrible. Dialogue? Cheesy as all hell.
Collossus was so shiny he looked like the Silver Surfer for chrissakes.
Also, the Fastball Special looks insanely stupid in live-action.
Oh, and Wolvie coming out from behind the head of what was apparently a giant laser-firing semi truck in the sky? Lame.
WHAT DO YOU THINK MY AVATAR IS WAITING FOR!!!?
...no seriously
Yea I'm really looking forward to the movie, they've done well in not screwing up the series for me (YEA IM LOOKING AT YOU HULK, AND YOU TOO DAREDEVIL) and with the brief clip i saw of Archangel (or so i pray) i wait anxiously
I actually really liked Dare Devil. Better than the first Spider-Man movie. I do not care what anyone has to say about that. You will not change my mind. :wink:
HULK - I did not like. The effects were great, but the "father" story was dumb.

Never saw Electra, but any movie with Jennifer Garner in a tight leather outfit can't be all bad. :wink:

Yeah, I gotta agree (except it looks like a robot head, though I assume you know that and are just trying to be funny- nice try! :wink: ). They don't show HOW he defeated it, you just see the head fall to the ground. That was pretty cheap. Collosus looks lame. And Storm with a haircut? Still hot, but not as hot.
But I'll pay my 8 bucks and see it. :wink:

I just didn't realize they were so cheap they couldn't show the Sentinel.
[list]
Wolvie seemed mildly irritated, grunting, rather than visceral roaring
Colossusilver Surfer
Fastball special is shitty in real life
Halle Berre may get an oscar revoked
Horrible editing: Wolvie RUNS out from cover, split second later he's walking calmly.
Horrible special effects: I lol whenever that bus behind Wolvie is blown up and slides
Horribly cheesy: "That was my last cigar"... It's official. Wolvie has been Hollywooded. Shit.[/list:u]
If Halle was gonna get her Oscar taken away it would've been for Twatwoman. Believe me! At least her hair doesn't look as fake as the wig from the first X-Men movie.
Since when is Juggernaut a mutant? I know he's in Excalibur now, which I thought was a "mutant's-only club". Plus, a few of the other X-Men TV appearances has him as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, which is stupid because HE'S NOT A MUTANT! His powers are magic-based! If Juggy's a mutant then Dr. Strange is a mutant, and he's not(just a bad dresser).
What is up with the "no Nightcrawler" crap. Is there some policy about not having more than one blue furry guy in the movie? While we're on it, are Toad and Sabertooth dead or what? They didn't show the corpses, so according to comic book law, they are still presumedly alive.
At least Icey's got a better role in this one. Hopefully they'll have some scene with all 5 original members. Now they gotta introduce Firestar so they could do a cheesy Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends flick just for old times sake. That's worth an Incredibles-styled 21st Century update!
And I gotta say, the "Pheonix" story line is not a favorite of mine.
Gasp! Phoenix is one of the driving forces behind me actually reading comics, so...
The first Excalibur had Captain Britian in it, and he wasn't a mutant. Just saying.
I heard Nightcrawler wanted an insane amount of money to be in this one, so they turned him down. I think I saw Toad in that seven minutes of the X-men movie they showed on Fox, so I'm guessing he's still alive.
"jalford" Said: So was Beast when you get down to it. BTW, do they explain how he was human looking in X-2 and then Hairy Smurf in this one?
He was only an Avenger for a bit; most of his super-heroing was done with the X-Men, of which he's a founding member...'Course, there was that stint with the Defenders...and the Champions...and X-Factor...and...Dang! If there's a group, Beast'll join it...
