ummm, not stupid at all. makes you wish you had a dell/windows pc.

Heh....you'd have to point a gun to my head and MAKE me buy a dell for my primary computer because after experiencing their tech support countless times in IT, I will NEVER EVER buy one for myself. I'm either a thinkpad person or a macbook person.

I always thought this as well as Spiderman, there are only so many characters for so little time on screen.

Unless Xmen is 3 hours I will feel let down for every movie could be the last...

It might be the last X-Men movie for now (at least in the near future and with this particular cast) however there are multiple spinoffs planned, including movies for Wolverine and Magneto - not that I'm particularly excited for those.

The X-Men movies have been solid comic movies thus far, maybe not the quality of Spiderman or Batman Begins, but they have been getting better with sequels, perhaps 3 is going to be the best of them all...

couple quick things! first, the movies looks fricken awesome!!! although I still am a little more excited to see POTC:2 Dead Man's Chest.

second, Ian McCellan and Hugh Jackman fits their characters perfectly!!!!!!

Patrick Stewart is a perfect fit. Some of the rest are decent but could be better. While maybe its the writer's fault, Wolverine is a wuss compared to the comics (they didn't even have him say bub until the second film), and while Ian does a decent job of getting Magneto's personality right, he's too scrawny and old for the character. Don't get me started on the horrendous job they did on Sabretooth and a few of the others.

Not to mention one of the biggest oversights of all, Gambit (he'd be one of the easiest characters to write for, and would add some nice comic relief).

Now, if they'd make a Wolverine and Gambit movie and let it have an R rating, then we might have something.

All the same, they have been entertaining, just not up to the level of the comics, or even the old animated TV show. I will see the third film, although it sounds like its going to be worse than the other two from the previews I've seen. Not sure if I'll catch it in theaters, I probably will if any of my friends want to see it, otherwise not.

Because a Dell costs less and you don't have to fsck around building it.

QFT. I have done both and I have to say that Dell is not that bad. It is funny because the person who complained is a Mac user. WhoopdeeFreakinDoo. Mac are cool and all, but there is nothing wrong with Windows platforms.

Ya, I kinda wish they would make them closer to the comics rather than cut it down so it would fit for PG-13. I guess thats how the world is today, wanting everything more graphical, but I think it would rock.

Not to mention that he's not very smart either.

If you can't figure out how to play WMV's on a MAC then your only adding fuel to our (as windows users) arsenal. I realize most MAC users are used to everything being easy, but seriously - are you really this ignorant? I hope not
 
scenes are rather bland. guess its rough cut.

i didn't really love the xmen films anyways, but they were ok entertainment.
 
I thought Kelsey Grammer fit Beast perfectly. Though it's hard to tell, but is he painted bue with makeup, or is he in make up and digitally made blue?
