View Full Version : New X-Men movie
I'm in the theatre now waiting for it to start. Very lackluster review coming up afterwards.
You go to the theatre alone? Or are you an asshole that types on his cellphone in presence of his friends?
Either way, this is sad.

I saw this yesterday and I have to say I enjoyed it. I think it was great retelling of the x-men.
You go to the theatre alone? Or are you an asshole that types on his cellphone in presence of his friends?
Either way, this is sad.
Why is this sad?
Btw both.
The movie was pretty good. There is a great cameo in the middle of it. Magneto was Dark Knight Joker, awsome in the first half, but once he teamed with Charles.and his flunkies, he cooled off. The end was good, not great.
January Jones was smoking hot as Emma Frost, but she acted like Betty Draper. Not sure how Frost is suppose to be portrayed. She got better towards the end though.
The casting for Magneto and Charles was flawless.
I have a few problems with the story. Specifically the Bacon character from start to end and then Magneto at the very end. Left me feeling like they were back at square one and alls for nothing.
Why is this sad?
Btw both.
Dunno. I don't think I'd ever go to the cinema alone. Seems weird for some reason.
And the second part, well, it's mostly teenage girls doing that, playing with their cellphones while hanging out with somebody. Shit is annoying.

People go see movies alone all the time. I usually do it because none of my bum friends and family have any money.
I do a lot of things alone.
Seems I'm alone in this.
That's sad

Call her a selfish bitch and sulk for the rest of the night. Or next time she wants to go somewhere I conveniently need a nap.
Or wait til after her nap.
Or call a friend and go with them.

There have been at least 2-3 threads on this exact subject before, and the general concensus on TPWW is that going to the movies alone is okay and not a sign of not having any friends.

Social insecurities. If you're comfortable in your skin, you can go to restaurants, movies, and other things solo.
My favorite scene is when Magneto walks into the bar and drinks german beer with the farmer and the tailor.

I noticed that the less of a central role Wolverine plays in an X-Men movie, the better it ends up being.
In other words, I thought this was the best of the X-Men movies. Followed by X-2 (which focused more on the team, though did give Wolvie a major role.). Then X-Men in a distant 3rd, followed by X-3, and bringing up the rear is the Wolverine one.
Not to say there wasn't complaints about the movie, like Havoc (sp?) forgetting he has a brother, Why couldn't Angel just be called Pixie, and the deal with Magneto at the end.
Biggest plus in the movie? The development of Mystique, Beast, and X.
Fignuts
06-07-2011, 06:48 AM
Angel wasn't based on pixie. She was based on angel salvadore.
This was my favorite of the x-men movies for me, I gotta say. X2 is great and all, but I feel like more attention was paid to all the different x-men in this movie. Just got a better look inside the characters in this movie, even if it was only a little bit for some of them.
Really loved the mystique parts. Kevin Bacon was awesome as well. Banshee was badass.
Xavier and Mags stole the show, as expected.
I think they could have stretched out the xavier and magneto friendship into a second movie. Could have waited until then to turn them against one another. Have the shadow king as the villain, since that's who cripples xavier in the comics anyway. Given the lack of closure for everyone besides Xavier and Magneto, I assume they are planning a sequel anyway.
This is honestly near the top in my superhero movies list. Just loved so much about this.
Explain havoc and the brother thing. Also explain shadow king.
Also I watched x-men and in that, xavier acts like he doesn't know why he can't read magnetos mind. Also, didn't beast have a cameo as a tv news anchor in one of the first x-men movies? Why wasnt he blue and furry?
Fignuts
06-07-2011, 07:07 AM
I don't think they are treating the other movies as gospel, as far as canon goes. I mean, emma frost was a little kid in wolverine, and that takes place way after this movie.
As far as the whole alex summers thing goes, there wasn't an actual need for them to mention he has a brother. Since cyclops isn't even in this, it has no real relevance.
In the comics Shadow King is the first evil mutant xavier encounters, and what inspired him to create the x-men.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_King
So havoc and cyclops are brothers?
I thought the guy that played beast looked like james marsden
Fignuts
06-07-2011, 07:19 AM
Oh wait Shadow King didn't cripple x, it was some other dude. Still, he's mad important to the x-men story, and he looked badass on the trading card I had as a kid.

Xavier is crippled three different times in the mainstream canon. An alien disguised as a tyrant oppressing a city is the first when he uses a stone to crush Xavier's legs. When Xavier is implanted with a Brood egg, the medic of the Starjammers uses his skills to craft Xavier a whole new body where his mind can be transferred into and thus he is able to walk again. This new body is crippled when the Shadow King resurfaces in an attempt to get revenge on Xavier. When the two fight on the astral plane, Shadow King's immense power is so severe that Xavier goes into convulsions in the real world where his spine is essentially destroyed. He is 'healed' when the mysterious mutant named Xorn is brought into the fold and uses his powers on Xavier. In truth, it is an imposter of Magneto who used nanotechnology to give the appearance that he had indeed granted Xavier with the ability to walk again. The imposter cripples the Professor when he unmasks and begins his takeover of Manhattan.

But on the topic of the movie, it was sweet as hell. I was literally on the edge of my seat during the last twenty minutes. The real surprise was Kevin Bacon as Shaw. He essentially turned the character into something of his own design. Sure, there were inaccuracies but that's mainly because the other movies were inaccurate. But Bryan Singer BELONGS with this franchise.

It was hard for me to buy into that whole nonsense. If Marvel had compunctions about Magneto being behind Xorn's rampage, why did they allow Grant Morrison to go forward with the story to begin with especially with Magneto being killed off. Retcons are fine and all but it should be for the sake of adding to a past story as opposed to making a mess out of things.

You could argue that while Xavier knows Magneto can block his normal telepathy via his helmet, Xavier was talking about Magneto being able to block his use of Cerebro which amplifies Xavier's powers to the extreme. Also, in the comics, Hank would sometimes use a mask of his former appearance or an image inducer in situations where he didn't want to appear as Beast. In X2, it's possible that he hadn't been appointed Secretary of Mutant Affairs yet and would be in a position where hiding his mutancy would be much more beneficial.

Angel wasn't based on pixie. She was based on angel salvadore.
I wasn't as familiar with salvadore, to be honest. I saw the wings and thought Pixie. I realized after fact when I read the Cracked thing with Beak.
I had the Havoc/Cyclops convo with someone else. We agreed that it was entirely possible that Alex wouldn't know that Scott had mutant powers. I figured at least a passing reference, like a "I can't control my powers, I haven't even seen my brother in I don't know how long." would have been a nice touch. Then again, that's just my comic nerd-ery coming through. Some subtle fan-service that doesn't make or break the movie, to be honest.

I remember there was absolutely nothing about the build to this film that excited me. I thought the story seemed shit, the costumes seemed shit, the pictures and trailers seemed shit, everything seemed shit to me.
So it's promising to hear all the positive feedback this film has receiced. I haven't seen it yet, obviously I will because it's a comic book movie and I see all comic book films at the cinema (except Catwoman and 300... I missed 300 :( ).

OH my god yes! Glad someone else noticed, I was in absolute awe of the score, one of the best scores I've heard in a while.
I thought this was easily the best X-men movie as in X-2 is not even half as good (despite X-2 being great) and probably up there as one of my fav comic book movies flat out.
Only issues I had: Moira not having a Scottish accent was disappointing and Alex Summers is technically way out of context given the timeline but those are so relatively minor that I couldn't care less about them overall.
Two awesome cameos and a lot of bald jokes were great for a little meta humour.
It was just amazing.

True for the most part, but there are times when a movie will take a fundamental shift in direction from the source material because of a change like that. That's what really sucks about changes like that. Plenty of changes in the first 2 Spider-Man movies and it was awesome. Plenty of changes in the Fantastic 4 movies and they were shit.

General bad writing, casting and middle of the road CGI aside, yes.
Doom is supposed to be one of the scariest guys on the planet. He's the king of a country, so he gets diplomatic immunity a lot of the time. He's a genius with both technology and magic and it usually takes a whole top tier team to beat him. He's scary because as a monarch he's got craploads of money and an army and all that, but he'll beat the piss out of you with all kinds of crazy inventions and doombots and shit he has built into his armour. He once fucked up the entire Stark Tower skyscraper by detonating a doombot made of self replicating nanotechnology just because the Green Goblin (pissed him off). That same building withstood an alien invasion with super powered skrulls and superior weaponry. One time he got into it so bad with the FF that they left him in hell. Fire and brimstone hell. Point is that Doom is not to be fucked with in the comics.
In the movie, he's an executive (lame). He gets his powers from cosmic rays too (ok, that's not too big a deal, as the FF gets their shit that way too and it's less screen time spent on exposition). He turns metal and shoots electricity (I don't get this change at all. Seems like they could have just had him get disfigured, go crazy, blame Richards and rock the armour, which he ends up doing anyway. He can shoot all types of shit with the armour). Him being monarch of Latveria was an afterthought used to set up the even more atrocious sequel (Galactus, the nigh invincible, planet eating universal force was a god damn cloud). In the movie, he's kind of a dick and a bit of a threat, but nothing special. He's just kinda lackluster. He could have been the best part of an otherwise terrible movie.
Bear in mind that Doom was never in the origin story in the comics and that my issues with the movie are not to do with Doom being in it where he wasn't originally.
Reavant
06-12-2011, 04:08 PM
ok but your using the most nonsensical examples of differing from source material. And again I wouldnt say differing from the comics was what made the movie so horrible as it was just the laziness of the writers to even make a good plot.

Fuck First Class might have the best main themes since the first fucking Superman.
This movie is heh First Class all the way. Just wow, never would have imagined I'd be in love with this movie. Not when it was first announced, not when the first images came out, not when they showed Mags' helmet, but fuck I was so fucking wrong, and I love that I was. I'd say these have the best X-Men costumes too, loved the take on the classic look with a practical and logical reason for their existence

I do wish Shaw's henchmen had been even slightly fleshed out, Mystique joining Mags at the end (and Angel joining Shaw) seemed muddled and unmotivated, and Beast's makeup was...well, slightly suspect. But those are minor gripes. Really good flick.
Love how everyone was pretty much shitting all over this flick for a year based on the scantest details, and now everyone's singing it's praises as possibly the best X-flick. Fanboys gonna fanboy, I guess.

Seriously though...
Riptide and Azazel as henchmen for Shaw? Weirdest combo ever. I bet 99%of the moviegoers had no clue who those guys are.
The starting line up of X-Men only having 1 of the original 5? Really?
Characters of different ages and eras in the history brought together as teenagers. It made no sense.
There were a lot of ambitious changes to the source material here. Couple that with the last 2 X-men films and you can't really be surprised that people were worried.
I'll argue this point to death: changes to the source material when making movies is par for the course. You're going from one format to another and some things (like bright spandex costumes or characters from alternate universes in this case) are just not always going to work in film. I get that. However, breaking away from the source material here and there is a slippery slope to change for the sake of change, which leads to losing what made the original material so good to its fans in the first place.

I liked this movie. Very scary marketing, speedy production, risky retcons, but it worked out. Kinda 'legitimizes' the Singer-verse. The Last Stand, for instance, kinda seems 'better' with this new context (even though the intro to X3 is out of the window, unless they're gonna ride that frenemy thing between X and Eric, which is comic accurate).
