X-Men 3

[leftstranded]

This movie is going to be very interesting movie. Could be the best one of them all, if they do it right.

[clace]

These movies won't be at their best until we get to see Gambit

[leftstranded]

These movies won't be at their best until we get to see Gambit

i've heard that a lot. i like what they did with the story though. not exactly the comic book, but i think they did a good job with it anyway.

[Bishop]

Personally, I'm excited as hell to see it.

[xearlynovemberx]

from the looks of it, it prob will be the best of the 3 if done correctly like you said

[mikeford]

this movie is going to be horrendous.

if you'd like to ruin it for yourself, head on over to iwatchstuff.com

[jusscali]

yeah it looks good and all,but idk how its gonna be. im so excited for it but i wont be surprised if its a let down.

first of all, there should be more than 3 films. there are too many characters, too many untied lose ends, and to much of a million great stories to be told in a mere three films. even though its been focused very well up to this point, i do not see them fitting in all this stuff in the third film, something is going to be lacking amidst this huge war.

secondly, its not singer's project anymore, and that i fear may hurt it a little as well.

[burntheaction]

they've put an xmen background on the home page of myspace. wonder how much money myspace is getting for that.

MySpace and XMen are both owned by Fox'

[AdamAtCollege]

I think this movie could be awesome. I mean, I've been waiting years to see this huge battle. I mean, Phoenix and Magneto teaming up to kick ass? The Juggernaut? Fricken Beast (which I think will look great, based on previews). Angel? Man. Sure, Singer isn't directing, but he's not the only good director out there. I'm stoked and I think the movie will kick ass. Hopefully.

[marrost]

Looks like shit.

[Ratherbedead22]

if you add the movie on myspace you get a legitmate top 16. there is a scroll bar where you can change it in the change my friends section.

[Serenity]

this movie could have been amazing if: they had kept Singer and done the phoenix saga right, and if that fucker Tom Rothman wasn't in charge of Fox.

It still could be good though. I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

i agree with most of your points. i'm just really optimistic about how this film is going to turn out. although i wish they would do more than just 3 movies because there is so much more to tell.

i am a little worried that it's singer's project, but as others have said, there are other directors out there. hope this one turns out well.

vinny jones said hes signed on for more then this movie and brett rattner said he would like to direct the 4th 1(i believe he said that)

sounds sweet. can't wait to see the third first though. i bet there will be a sign at the end that it's not over.

[jusscali]

i guess i need to keep up this this more. that's good to see though.
yeah well on an interview at ign, jackman said no more xmen and if there is no more jackman as wolverine cuz they are working on his own movie. also, in case people havent read some fo the shitty spoilers online...something very big happens in the end, which could kind of effect the whole story line just a tad bit.

don't say, don't wanna know till i see the movie. i have been trying to avoid all the spoilers and everything until i accually watch the movie.

I'm going to an advance screening tomorrow night, I'm wicked excited.

I'll be sure to post thoughts on it. (No spoilers, of course)

def let us know how it was.

[fluke182]

Apparently that analogy I was handed about the end of Brett Ratner's X-Men 3: The Last Stand (20th Century Fox, 5.26) being a bit like the finale of The Wild Bunch was not on the mark. Here's what Maxim critic Pete Hammond says, having recently seen it at on the Fox lot: "While there's a considerable amount of violence in the final battle scene plus a couple of others, it's not of the Sam Peckinpah variety but more in line with what we've all come to expect from these films. What astounded me is apparently Fox is determined to end the series with this one. It's flatly stated in the first line of the press notes: '....the climax of the X-Men motion picture trilogy.' Apparently there will be spinoffs including a Magneto film (Ian McKellen, great here again and by the far the best thing in The DaVinci Code) movie that is listed as 'announced' on IMDB as is Wolverine for Jackman, but who knows? There are definitely some surprising twists in Brett Ratner's film but perhaps the best of all is saved for absolute last in an end sequence after the final (endless) credits roll. Fox publicists told the handful of people at the screening to stay all the way through and it was worth it. (I'm usually the last person in the theatre when the lights come up.) I think Ratner put this last bit in there for the true fans. He's done an excellent job taking over for Bryan Singer, keeping the humanity and tone of the first two and adding his own thing. The action scenes are dynamite. For me this was the best of the three films. It will be interesting to see the reaction when it screens on Monday in Cannes and at the all-media screening [in Los Angeles]."

Pete Hammond is a very respected critic, this definitely excites me. I want this to kick ass so bad. EmoPunkKid should get in here and tell us how it was.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Thank God. That's such good news.

My screening isn't till late tonight. I'll be sure to let you know how it was tomorrow. And that review has me a lot more hopefull about the movie.

[sweetforever]

I'm excited to see it next friday, the trailer looks sweet

[EmoPunkKid28]

Bad news: The frickin screening got cancelled tonight.
Don't know why, but it was.
I'm extremely bummed out.

Sorry, guys.

[fluke182]

Dude, that is weak shit. Of any pre-screening, that would be about as upsetting a one to miss. That would be a great one to see amongst a bunch of hardcore fans. Sorry man, now we'll all see it on Friday together!

[Serenity]

for what it's worth, apparently ebert and roeper gave it two thumbs up...

[jusscali]

yeah boi!!!!! thursday or wed hopefully

[xearlynovemberx]

anyone think this is going to be the best 1 in the series?

[Vincewithouthee]

I heard that X3's only going to be 1 hour and 45 minutes long...

I wish it was longer than that, but I still think that it'll be good. I heard that the ending will be awesome from many reviews and such. Will it be the best of the series? Possibly. I don't expect this to suck, I know it'll be good. This is going to be the first movie I'm going to see in theaters in a long time. I haven't gone to the movies in months.

yeah its the shortest 1 of the three

[fluke182]

Personally, I think blockbusters have been getting too long winded lately. I'm glad to finally see one that will actually be efficient and action packed. For example, I heard that Superman Returns takes 45 minutes before a single action set piece. I know I'm going to love it, but X3's pace seems to be more the speed I look for in my "comic book movies."

[leftstranded]

from what i've read this is going to be a sweet movie. i'm sad that it's going to be the last one in the series because they could have this go on for a long time and no one would get bored. there are tons of people pissed that gambit didn't get in it, when he had been in the books for a long time.

can't wait to see it friday.

i want to go to the midnight showing of this

[FreshyFresh23]

man you know youre just lying to yourself if you pretend to be happy that it is the shortest, i want this to never end, the movie looks amazing, xmen have always been my favorite group of super heroes and there will not be another "X-men" movie (discounting the solo spinoffs)

i bet there will be another x-men movie, it may take us about 10 to 15 years to get it, but someone will write a different story for the x-men characters. not saying it's going to be as good or better, but i bet someone will make one sometime.

It won't be the last one, nor will it take that long. They're probably saying that to inspire desperation in fans. "Maybe we see it 10 times and they'll make another one!" Hello $250+ million, hello X4 in...3 years, maybe 4. We'll see, but I bet there is another one before the turn of the decade, because this movie is going to make bank.

[gilatron5000]

I don't exactly have the highest hopes for X3. While I loved the first two, and I'm sure I'll enjoy this on some level, it seems wrong somehow that they went from Bryan Singer, the guy who directed The Usual Suspects, to Brett Ratner, the guy who directed Rush Hour 2. And he wasn't even their second choice.

Superman Returns has me geeking out so much more.

good point. i just ment that if they really did say that this is the last one. someone would pick up the x-men theme and get another one going.

[FreshyFresh23]

you are most likely right that someone will start it up again because no way in HELL is this cast going to come together again for an X4. No matter how much it makes, they have all said it WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Go look at Jackman's recent interviews...they all have too much ego and want solo movies..

Wolverine, Magneto and Storm are all in pre-production anyways.

X-Men will go the way of the spiderman... have a triology then another trilogy will start up in a decade

[Adeniz19]

[SingleDoubt]

im seeing the midnight showing... stokedxcore

[Charly]

i just saw it and i gotta say i thought it was amazing. some parts were stupidly predictable but most of it was unexpected. i doubt they'll make another one for a loooooong time. soooo good tho!!

[to kill this]

i was looking up Ian McKellen (brilliant actor who plays Magneto) and on this site: imdb.com it lists all the work he's done and the top of the list said: Magneto(2007)(announced)(attatched) ...Eric Lensherr/Magneto. So it looks like we'll have an X-Men 4 soon. It's categorized as being in production.Plot Outline: A young Magneto seeks revenge on the Nazis who killed his family while befriending a young Charles Xavier.

[fluke182]

That isn't X-Men 4, that's Magneto chief. Spin off movie.

Halle Berry said she will not do another movie, so they're going to have to get another actress. To my knowledge, they aren't even considering making a Storm movie.

[whocares930]

These movies won't be at their best until we get to see Gambit

I couldn't agree with you more.

he is the greatest X-men of all time and the greatest super hero of all time.

[FreshyFresh23]

Alright to the two who referenced my last post:


No i meant spider man because it has been annoucned that they are probably going to be gutting the cast after this next movie and making a new trilogy starting 10 years or so

http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/610/610033p1.html .. can look at some related articles for more.

Also, regarding Storm

http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/574/574584p1.html talks about how Magneto and Wolverine are being made right now and Mystique and Storm are being discussed

[xearlynovemberx]

holy shit x3 was amazing

[Lueda Alia]

I can't wait to see it.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

I just got back from seeing X3.

Umm.. I dunno what to think about it yet. I can't help but think they need to need feature more characters in these movies and develop the ones they have.

The Juggernaut is a huge character and he seemed to be a misfit found in a truck who was strong as hell. One thing that was cool as hell is he did say "don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch!" the movie theatre including me, clapped.

Everyone's dead, everyone's not dead. Everyone has powers, everyone doesn't have powers, then gets powers again. I dunno, I liked the movie, but it needs to have a storyline with many characters and stick to it.

One thing that I still can't get used to is the costumes. I know the director is trying to strive for the "they are almost human" thing and give them normal outfits and such, but it's to normal. They are mutants for pete sake. I wanna see Wolverine with a mask, even if they wanna tone down his suit.

And as always this movie is much more different then the comic.

I liked the first one and the second one a whole bunch.

The special effects in this one were sick as hell. I can't even say how incredible they were on a scale.

The storyline was good, with the whole "Stop The Cure" thing, but the whole going ons in the movie were totally stupid.

As I said, I liked it, but the first two beat this one by far.

i wanna see nacho libre lol...and im really curious about the omen. high hopes for superman, but not so much for ghostrider. although he seems rather badass

[SingleDoubt]

holy shit x3 was amazing
i disagree... it was merely okay... i mean, if this was really the "last stand" then this movie was a terrible way to go out... they really held back. they could have had a BIG elaborate battle against big mutants instead of these extras who wolverine and beast just tossed aside. i wanted something HUGE but it was just... i dunno... i didnt feel satisfied

While watching X3, I thought the actor playing him looked fimiliar, now i remember who he is, i think he was one of the bad guys in Rush Hour. The guy that said to Chris Tuckers character 'Fight like a man'. Anyone know if that was him for sure.

Jamie Madrox was the man...er...men though

[Vincewithouthee]

I thought it was a good movie. I don't think that it's the best of the series, but certainly good. It could have easily been much better, but I still enjoyed it. I loved the ending to the movie personally. My only problem is, is that it all seemed to come at you quick. Oh well.

The new characters weren't good at all, except for the Beast. I'm disappointed with parts of the movie, but it was good regardless.

Also, the little part after the credits was fucking awesome. At least in my opinion. I kinda saw it coming though, but I wasn't sure if they'd do that.

PS. Hahaha the SOAP teaser trailer was awesome. EVERYONE was cracking up in the theater. I loved it. It's gonna sell like crazy.

[Carlo Marx]

They killed off Cyclops and Professor X.

If there is a fourth movie, I won't be watching it.

[Adeniz19]

They killed off Cyclops and Professor X.

If there is a fourth movie, I won't be watching it.you obviously didnt watch the the clip at the end of the credits

Um.. why would you spoil the movie for the rest of us? I really hope that's not what happens.

Ps: I edited your post and put the spoiler tags around what you said. If you feel like sharing anything that happened in the movie, warn us about spoilers or just use the spoiler tags.

[FreshyFresh23]

clarifying the spoilers

alright they "killed" off cyclops because the guy who plays him wont be doing anymore xmen films and left midway through filming to shoot Superman Returns..

And they "killed" Prof. X's body because Pat stewart wont be doing more of the movies but they still need that character. If they make more movies they will probably just use different storylines that still have the characters alive.

I believe a Wolverine movie is in the makings?

[Vincewithouthee]

I believe a Wolverine movie is in the makings?

Yeah. And a possible Magneto movie.

[fluke182]

I thought it was a good movie contained in a shell that should have been great. They combined two of the best X-Men storylines ever (Cure from Astonishing and Dark Phoenix saga from Uncanny) and gutted them, rearranged them and generally redid them. At the same time, given the situation, they did about as well as they could all things considered - it's not like they could just randomly bring in the Shi'ar and send them to space and have the Hellfire Club and all that, plus somehow throw Magneto and the cure in it. They should have used stuck to one storyline and had a focus on that. Not to mention, there needs to be more real X-Men. The X-Kids are cool and all, but only having Beast, Wolverine and Storm really kind of dampened the whole thing. They should have kept Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, amongst other things. I heard from a previous script about some of the things they might do, and it was sad to see them happen because certain people are integral to everything that is X related. With that said, this turned out significantly better than a lot of people thought it would with the director (Ratner) and the time they had. I didn't have my geek buzz going after the movie, but it was still really enjoyable and the after credits scene was sweet. Also, Moira McTaggert = hot.

[AreTwoKay]

The movie was good but could have been a lot better, I wish the would have focused on the new characters more. And if there is a forth one and Gambit isn't in it, then I will not be watching.

[Greg]

what is so cool about Gambit?

[Stereo Therapy]

thats was quite an enjoyable movie

[Coronary Parasite]

it was okay, but i expected ALOT better.

[Greg]

it was okay, but i expected ALOT better.
same. i mean i did enjoy it and all. but they should have made it way longer.

[mht]

i guess nightcrawler doesnt exist or something , how do you lose a character in a trilogy at least in the new star wars they kept jar jar binks shown in the background, but made sure he didnt speak.(after the first one ) i mean nightcrawler was the whole 2nd movie, and they needed more than 3 core x men after they lost cyclopes and xavier, they had so many options to add cool x men. i would have love to see a bishop/gambit/forge or someone thats not a kid, they had so many options and lost a good nightcrawler, and had to many shit little kids that had one lines. although i liked that girl that walked through walls, she was hot shit. the im the juggernaugt bitch by vinnie jones was funny, the nerd herd at the top all ejaculated in their pants when he said it.

[FrancesTheMute]

what is so cool about Gambit?gambit really annoys me [if he didn't have the accent i wouldn't dislike him as muich, but i fucking HATE the accent]

[fluke182]

Gambit is seriously overrated and cursory fans of the comics are bigger fans of him than anyone else. He's nowhere near as important as introducing Beast or Shadowcat, or improving on the roles of Iceman and Colossus. Also, no more powers for Rogue? Magneto? Mystique? They sort of backed themselves into a hole with this movie, but you know comics always bring back powers and/or people to life. No one is dead and no one lost their powers, permanence is a tricky word in the comic book universe.

[gilatron5000]

what is so cool about Gambit?he blows shit up.

And plus, okay, yeah, he doesnt even need to be an X-Man. He could have easily been in the Brotherhood instead of horny toad asian guy. what the fuck is up with that loser anyway?

i guess you missed the end when magneto moves the fucking chess piece....

but anyway the new magneto movie looks awesome, he vows revenge against nazi scum for killing his parents...i guess its a pre x-men story, like when him and charles first became pals. but thats what i heard. it would be cool if they did that.

[waggy]

i loved it. great summer popcorn movie, and a great way to wrap up the trilogy (so they can next do a wolverine spinoff and then start a new trilogy after that). i wouldn't call it perfect and it wasn't quite as good as x2 (one of my favorite movies period), but i really don't get why some people are calling it "awful". variety and the hollywood reporter referred to it as the "return of the jedi" of the x-men series. ok, i'll take that. jedi is my favorite star wars movie.

[Boring Pop Song]

i thought it was fantastic

[Rouse Diaz]

i personally found the movie entertaining and somewhat brilliant

I believe the point of that scene was he did not move that chess piece. I'm not really sure how you saw that or what you saw, but it most definitely stayed stationary there chief.

Edit: On IMDB there's quite the debate between whether or not it moved. Half the people saw it move, the other half said it stayed stationary. Looks like we're in the thick of it man.

really? i just saw it a few hours ago with about 7 people and there was no debate at all. the chess peice moved...hmmm i'll have to watch it again, i had no idea that people thought it didn't move til i read this

[Grizzlybear]

so i left early did anyone stay for the 30 second scene after the movie ended? im pissed that i didnt know there was more and i cant find anything on the internet that talks about what it was!

[RicKy085]

PMed it to you so as not to spoil it for others

[Grizzlybear]

thanks man and just to go on the record. pretty much the way the phoniex saga was dealt with was completly gay. the beast owned and the xmen have never looked as tough or cool as in this movie, but the writing and directing were very sub par.

[nivek87]

i dont have high expectations so im looking foward to this

[itsjdiggity]

oh Kitty

[morte]

PMed it to you so as not to spoil it for othersCan you do the same for me???

[DriveTBSthru]

sucked and i am surpurised.

1. its magneto.
2. they wouldnt ruin the trilogy that easy by taking away everyones powers.
3. you're blind sorry man :(

[RicKy085]

Can you do the same for me???

done.

[niveK]

He didnt move the whole peice but he made it wobble

[beneaththesun]

i was so excited to see this movie. i saw it at midnight and i must say that brett ratner really let me down. it was weak.

[bruce campbell]

the chess piece moved.. end of story.

[Tsagoodness]

He didnt move the whole peice but he made it wobble

perfect, it didnt move all the way, he just wobbled the top

[waggy]

yeah, it definitely moved. pretty much all the deaths or depowerings in the movie are easily reversable for when they get around to doing x4


xavier is already back
we never see cyclops' body, him dying, or hear jean say she killed him
jean is the goddamn phoenix so of course she can come back, besides she already did it once
and as the chess piece showed, the cure is most likely only temporary

[Talib Scottie]

I thought it was better than the first two honestly.

[FrancesTheMute]

i liked it a lot, but the whol;e time i was wondering what happened to nightcrawler...

[Talib Scottie]

haha so wait, some of you were epecting greatness? HA! The first X Men and X2 were decent at best.

I want to see a movie with Apolcalpyse now.

[Talib Scottie]

i liked it a lot, but the whol;e time i was wondering what happened to nightcrawler...
Someone told me at the end of the video game for PS2 he just walks up to the professor and tells him that this isn't the fight for him or something and just kind of dips out.

[FrancesTheMute]

that sucks and the chess piece DID move [it wobbled] so that shows that the cure was only temporary.

[FondestMemory]

i just got back from it. i went in extemely worried because i've never been a fan of ratner and it seemed like they were going to try to fit too much in there.

however, i was pleasantly surprised. it wasn't super great, but it wasn't nearly as bad as expected.

phoenix was wasted. i'd rather her not even be in this one than have her as irrelevant as she was. i like the grooming of the younger ones, so they can keep making the movies even when the core of them don't want to make them anymore. i was excited about ben foster as angel cause i like him in most things, but he was kind of wasted. i understand his purpose in it, but would have liked to see more of him.

overall, it could have been loads better. there were emotional parts, and those were done very well. but minus those moments it just felt like you were watching a movie. singer was able to avoid that in the first two and make you feel very involved with every aspect of it. ratner didn't do that. there was a bit too much in there, leaving less time to explain the things enough to make them as interesting as they should be. the characters weren't as relateable as the first few. they just weren't as easy enough to care about. things that should have been bigger deals were just kind of pushed to the back.

i hope to god there's a 4 and beyond. there's too many great characters and years of story ideas to end it after three. but, if they try to tackle the whole apocalypse thing, i'll be iffy, cause they need to do that right.

[tragedyl0ve]

great movie.... wow... i liked it.... and after the credits??? wow.....

[Deadwomb88]

I was severly dissapointed, being a fan of the comic.

[Deadwomb88]

If Bryan Singer doens't come back the franchise will be in trouble.

[aCe_]

It was alright. It wasn't as good as I expected it to be.

[Emopunkthrice]

that sucks and the chess piece DID move [it wobbled] so that shows that the cure was only temporary.
hmnnn

[radiofriendly]

kind of sucks i didn't get around to this thread earlier, but yeah, put me on the completely overrated list. this movie was so dissapointing. too many characters, too little movie, and not nearly enough action, or good action for that matter. and not to mention the COMPLETELY CHEESY melodrama.

[aCe_]

haha so wait, some of you were epecting greatness? HA! The first X Men and X2 were decent at best.

I want to see a movie with Apolcalpyse now.Now that would be awesome.

[gilatron5000]

that sucks and the chess piece DID move [it wobbled] so that shows that the cure was only temporary.Poor Rogue.

[kylecrawford]

I thought that colussus was worthless, his role was to throw wolverine, not once, but twice

lammmmeeee

and then angel flying by at the end wtf was that, there was so much lame shit with this movie, its not even funny

[cantnokdahustle]

Anyone else feel like they were watching a show off the WB?

is that chess piece metal? or is it saying magneto might have a new maybe more evolved power?
i might be wrong but i never used metal chess pieces before. hopefully mr ian mckellon is rocking the metal chess pieces.

Great find. Yeah, it's really hard to tell, but it's there. I caught it the first time I saw it.

[underdawg1119]

So I missed the scene after the credits. Anyone care to explain what happened?

[Shatter590]

ahem...

juggernaut is not a fucking mutant!!!

[FondestMemory]

ahem...

juggernaut is not a fucking mutant!!!

i'm so tired of hearing that. it's a fucking movie. he was such a small part. i'd rather them just save time and pass him off as a mutant than waste time on his pointless origin.

that's such a small thing and i've heard so many people complain about it. seriously, who cares? he also wasn't xavier's brother in the movie. no big deal.

i can rant about everything that i hated about this movie, but that tends to be my most prevalent complaint. juggernaut is more complex than the treatment they gave him.

[FondestMemory]

i guess we just disagree. they already tried to do too much in this one. tacking on an explanation and backstory of a very minor character in the movie would have just added to that.

and basically, every character for the most part is more complex than they treatment they're given. but it's a movie, they can't get into everybody's complexities.

[DivisionStreet]

They could have easily made it 2 hours or 2 hrs 15 min and added a lot more explanation and backstory. I think 1 hr 45 min just isn't enough.

[FreshyFresh23]

The movie already cost 210 million or something, if you want to front the millions extra required to film the longer movie im sure the studio wouldnt mind.

well said. They did what they could with the media window they were given. you cant waste screen time explaining the backstory to a 3rd tier character

[Deadwomb88]

Juggernaut would not say "Pee."
