Psylocke is my fav character, wish she was featured more... She has cool powers and fighting abilities.

not sayin hes a bad actor. just for that he was Fraiser. going from Frasier to xmen is a big jump. but if he pulls it off im happy. beast is my fav out of all the Xmen.

There was no way that Kelsey couldn't have pulled it off. He was pretty much born to play the role of Beast.

Edit: And who is going to see it this weekend? I will be sometime, and I hate going to the movies by myself. I might also throw in Dave Chappelle's Block Party at the Palace Nova on the Sunday too depending on the times.

i enjoyed the movie overall but i still think the first one is the best. magneto will always be my fav character followed by mystique (Rebecca Romijn is sooo hot :wub:)

i dont agree with trashy on some of the story line.

but the little stroke of genious in the final 20 secs made me smile. :)

"do you know who i am??? im juggernaught bitch" best line of the movie!!

I wonder what it means though, does this lead a premise for a new movie?

I havent seen the new movie, is Gambit in it? He was an important character in the series, so was Jubilee.


sorry just read earlier in the thread, question answered!

Gambit was introduced in the tv show, I don't think he's part of the original comic as far as I can tell

did like the movie, not really true to the comic book storylines of the characters though, still pretty enjoyable though

would be hard to follow storylines of all the characters properly with the time constraints of a movie

Well I enjoyed it at least :)

It didn't stick to the original storyline no, but I have read about some of the themes that they have going in the comic, aliens, other dimensions, etc... pretty hard to incorporate that stuff into 3 movies.. Especially all that jazz about apocalypse

if you read what i have written bout the film earlier, u would know that my main issue ISNT with the fact they missed out on a pile of story arcs.

but hey, if u aint got it u wont ever get it, i am just so sad that a mega unique opportunity was missed to really bring out the essence of the xmen story...

I thought it brought the essence of xmen out pretty well, but yeah you're right I am finding it hard to see what exactly these "faults" are.

I went and saw it a few weeks ago, and I liked it. More than X2.
Then again, I know nothing of the comics, I know nothing of the story etc etc.
Phoenix freaked me the hell out, the effects were insane.
I was trying to work out a few people's powers for a while, but I thought Kelsey Grammer was very good as the diplomatic Beast. Until he cut sick that is...
