[megatexel]

I for one saw it Thurdsay night I work @ the theatre tho so I get to be special. Has anyone else seen it yet? If not post what you think after you see it tonight!!

[0beron]

Wrong forum... this belongs in Brag and Moan!

 

[megatexel]

hmm... that might spoil it for everyone. IT FSKING ROCKED. It was cool.

Damn Rebecca Romaine-Stamos sure does look nice in only blue make-up. They didn't show too much of her tho

 

[BiB]

Rebecca, Halle Berry, Ashley Judd, the guys who made this movie know their chicks!

I was just kiddin'!!!

Just wanted to know if it ROCKED!

Thanks for not ruining it for everyone!

 

[phlashphire]

I don't think Ashley Judd's in it too.

 

[NFS4]

Ashley is not in it

Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn Stamos, Anna Paquin, and Famke Jansen

 

[SlipperyFreudian]

The fact they left out Gambit is very disapointing however. They could have had Val Kilmer play Gambit, it would have kicked!

gambit is definitely the best xman.

 

[DarK SagE]

Yah gambit kicks. SOme how i dont think the chick playing Rogue is hot enough. Rogue was always the hotest heroine and they got some not so hot 17 y/o hussie playing her.

Casting Halle as Storm disappoined me. Storm always was a larger woman in my mind's eye, Niaomi Campbell would've been a better fit.

 

[vi edit]

No way man, Angela Basset with different hair-do would definately kick some ass as Storm. That chica es muy buff.

 

[Mday]

thanks vi-edit, that's who i was thinking of for storm. i could not for the life of me remember her name. i was going to say naomi too, but she cannot act... halle is definitely not right for the role.

Not having followed the X-men faithfully while gorwing up, I feel that this movie does a pretty good job of getting the non-enthusiast up to speed. The effects were nice, but I am more pleased with my now-greater understanding of what was going on. Hopefully, the sequels will include more of the history behind the X-men.

Only 90 minutes or so (well, under 2 hours at least)? Hmmm.

-SUO

 

[XMan]

Definitely could have been longer . . . I've heard that they cut more than 20 minutes of character development off of it to speed up the pacing . . . hopefully it will be restored on the DVD version.

And for all you Halle-haters out there, she apparently wasn't too thrilled with the movie . . . maybe she didn't think she had enough lines? So she might not be back for the sequel.

 

[(Chanse)]

Thought it was pretty cool myself. My only complaint was that it could/should have been longer. But I guess you can't complain for like what? 75 mil, budget.

 

[vec]

I don't remember her name, but that new doctor on ER (she was on Homicide too) would have made a good Storm.

 

[convex]

but but...what about psylocke? hmm

 

[blade]

It took in a staggering 21.3 million just on Friday, that means it will do around 60 mil for it's opening weekend! Not bad for a movie that has got mixed reviews and with many saying there is very little action. Just goes to show that marketing and familiarity are vital to success. And 2 sequels are planned.

 

[convex]

marvel isn't poor anymore. Maybe they'll start selling comics again.

 

[I'm Typing]

I really liked this film. There is not alot you can do nowadays for 75 million when it comes to action movies. Maybe this thing will make half a billion or so and we can get more action and more characters in the sequels.

 

[Mday]

storm is much more of a minor character now i think about it. sure she was the team leader once, but storm is not that popular.

I mean, who remembers xmen for the lines bub.

 

[Mday]

halle is pretty though. but storm is one of the covered characters.

 

[XMan]

When you consider that they had to go from the standpoint of introducing a large number of characters, their powers, and make it seem realistic, to people who had no idea what X-Men are (they can't aim for people who know what's going on, or the movie would have flopped) they did an incredible job! When I went, the theater was packed, and it was one of the first movies I've seen in a long time where people laughed throughout and actually clapped at the end.

 

[CyberSax]

No way man, Angela Basset with different hair-do would definately kick some ass as Storm. That chica es muy buff.

Yup. That's exactly what I was thinking. Halle Berry was good too, but Storm is a an older, more mature kind of character. IMO, Storm, Jean Grey, and Storm were poorly cast.

 

[NFS4]

<< IMO, Storm, Jean Grey, and Storm were poorly cast. >>


Whoah, there were two chick's named storm in the movie?? I must have missed that

I though that Famke did a great job in X-Men...well maybe I say that 'cause I liked her in GoldenEye where she played a sex-crazed woman that killed men by wrapping her thighs around them and squeezing while screaming out in ecstasy (insert Homer drool here).
