[Kalyx triaD]

Is the Sentinel head to scale? Because then it would make for a possibly 9ft robot. While that's certainly nothing to scoff at, and I don't expect the 6-story behemoths, I would like something taller than what the head size suggests.

[Lock Jaw]

I have not heard anything about the scale.

[Hanso Amore]

Im confused. They show grey hair logan and Bishop, which is from the future. Then we see Modern Day Charles, Magneto and Collossus, and Past Havok and Beast. Are we looking at 3 time periods instead of 2 here?

[Kalyx triaD]

Past (First Class/Origins Wolverine era), Present (X-trilogy/The Wolverine era), Future (Sentinels, X-Force spin-off era(?))

[Skippord]

Just realized the black guy is Bishop and am now excited to see Bishop in a movie.

[Rammsteinmad]

Really pumped to see this movie! Mixing all the movies casts together should be really exciting! Plus, I had no idea Booker T was in this.

[Hanso Amore]

Past (First Class/Origins Wolverine era), Present (X-trilogy/The Wolverine era), Future (Sentinels, X-Force spin-off era(?))

Right, that I get. But I thought the idea of the story was that in the Future the Sentinels are killing everyone but Wolverine is alive and old. Kitty Pryde (Bishop in Cartoon) goes back in time to current X Men dates to prevent an assassination that leads to that future. So how does Old times (First Class, Wolverine Origins) tie in?

[loopydate]

Maybe Trask is inspired by the events in Cuba to begin researching the possibilities of genetic-profiling robots and it takes him 40 years to bring them to fruition? Meanwhile, he's involved in early anti-mutant measures in the '60s and '70s, putting him at odds with Charles and Erik.

As usual, they are not directly adapting the book.

I like this post.

Im not posting definite Kaly, of course it will be a bit different. Just trying to spark some conversation based on my thoughts. I found 3 time periods to be a big surprise.

Im thinking that alot of the action wont take place in modern times. Will just sort of be in passing. Open on Modern day and let us see characters we know and love, and the beginning of the Anti Mutant Crusdade.

Then Flash to the Future. World is fucked. Then back to the 60s for the bulk of the film.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hugh has stated that movie is like two in one, and perhaps it doesn't go that far into the future anyway.

There's two character posters out featuring Charles and Magneto, it splices the two eras of their heads through an X. Looks pretty cool.

Sweet! Hopefully we'll finally get some real Sentinel action on the big screen. Looking forward to this movie so much!

[Rammsteinmad]

I know I say that about every comic film tbh, but this one interests me coz it at least has the potential to tie together all the X-movies.

[Kalyx triaD]

Not only that, but correct a few things. This should be very cool.

do you think he's bummed that he's a midget so he's taking it out on the mutants for getting cool deformities?

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm pretty sure some gag will be made, by Logan, about a midget making giant robots.

[Lock Jaw]

do you think he's bummed that he's a midget so he's taking it out on the mutants for getting cool deformities?

Was actually thinking the exact same thing.

[Tom Guycott]

I'm now picturing two of the movie sentinels with an exchange from the cartoon:

Sentinel 1: "WHAT IS THAT?"

:second sentinel bends over to get a closer look at one of Gambit's charged cards:

Sentinel 2: "IT APPEARS TO BE THE ACE OF SPADES."

:card explodes in its face:

Too bad the blew that Gambit load in the shitty Wolverine movie.

[Reavant]

Thats cool... They should be bigger i guess, but that wouldnt be practical I suppose

[Fignuts]

That's actually closers to the size they were in their first comic appearance, so it works for me.

[Kalyx triaD]

Can you imagine standing next to that thing? Then it moving and chasing you around? Man.

[JimmyMess]

yeah I'd evacuate my bowels fairly quickly.

[Reavant]

yea... my first exposure to xmen was the fox cartoon where the things were skyscrapers. its engraved in the brain

[Arashi Kage]

Michael Jai White would have made a better Bishop.

Really looking forward to this film though. :y:

I read somewhere that that was the angle they were going with. Might have been on IMDb.

[Kalyx triaD]

Trailer this week. eeeeeeeeeeeee

[slik]

Not very impressed with the first trailer.

Feels like a period piece romance oddly.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/pK2zYHWDZKo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[YOUR Hero]

looks alright. looks like there will be some character depth. that's always big with me

[Rammsteinmad]

Coulda done with a bit more fancy, flashy action shots, but overall still seems cool. Although I'm wondering now if we'll see both teams from separate times fighting side by side or if it's more of a "send someone to the past" and that's it. Would be cool to have all the characters on screen fighting together at once.

[Rammsteinmad]

Also I'm gutted there's no sneaky Sentinel teases. Still excited for this film anyway.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I really liked that trailer. Has a hugely "epic" feel to it on Avengers levels. I'm pretty excited.

[JimmyMess]

I loved how they did this.... completely unexpected, gives it that grandiose feel, much like Igi said.

[alvarado52]

I agree. This storyline linking the two versions of the franchise was a fantastic idea.

[Hanso Amore]

Singer said on Twitter this was done on purpose. They are still finalizing the CGI of the film so since its not ready they just pushed story/chyaracters and the next trailers down the way will be more flashy.

[Kalyx triaD]

The trailer was character driven because the 'fancy action shots' don't have their completed effects yet. Singer made sure to tell people before the trailer dropped to curb precisely that reaction.

[Lock Jaw]

I really "enjoyed" that trailer. Feels like an epic must see event, and it didn't even have any action shots.

[Miotch]

This 100 per

[Reavant]

whoooo hooooo dayummmmm

[Lock Jaw]

Also, when Xavier was like "I was... different back then" and then it cut to hippy Xavier blowing dust off of Cerebro, for a moment I thought it was crack cocaine.

[Juan]

Looks awesome!

[Arashi Kage]

Really looking forward to this film!!! The potential for this film is huge! I hope that Singer pulled it off well.

Hard to believe that the first X-Men film will be 14 years old by time this is released. So Awesome that Jackman continues to get better in the role of Wolverine as time goes on. I hope that we get at least a couple more opportunities to see him as Wolverine. Can't imagine anyone else filling his shoes.

[Asmo]

Arashi has it right. Jackman is to Wolverine what RDJ is to Iron Man. Tough to visualise any one else in that rolel.

The trailer was superb. Gives you a glimpse of what to expect, lays the foundation of the movie, and shows you pretty much every X-Man / Mutant the movie will feature.

[Hanso Amore]

The fact that present/future scenes all appear to be in a temple of sorts makes me wonder if this doesn't tie into apocalypse at all.

[Skippord]

super excited about this after the trailer

also Bishop is my favorite mutant so that might be related

[Impact!]

Terry Crews would have made a better Bishop.

:shifty:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The shot of Patrick Stewart behind the circle thing reminded me of Locutus.

[Kalyx triaD]

Rogue's one scene has been edited out of the film, regulated to DVD extras fodder.

[Fignuts]

Not too broken up about that. Wouldn't care if Iceman didn't make it either.

[JimmyMess]

Why not just keep it in, instead of making a big deal about not putting it in? its probably like 1 minute long.

[Kalyx triaD]

Pace or whatever. Directors have their reasons. It would help to say this now rather than have people (like us) talk about scenes in the trailer that didn't make it in.

[JimmyMess]

fair enough

[Kalyx triaD]

Quicksilver... all silver-y... with his young dad. And walking Prof. X.

Between that and the whole mental projection thing he's known for just about anything's up for grabs.

[McLegend]

[Fignuts]

Honestly, they never should have mentioned Apocalypse. As great as this looks, I just want it to be over so they can start on the sequel.

So dumb that they announced it like that. Would have made an amazing post-credit scene, on the same level as Thanos in Avengers.

[Disturbed316]

Awesome stuff

[Hanso Amore]

Holy shit that looks good.

As shit as the Original Trilogy ended up as, using this to reboot it if done right could make this Avengers level. I liked first class, and itsa good start. If they reboot based off this film and building on first class, making this which looks great and then Apocalypse I think it could end up being some of the best Comic book films ever.

[Rammsteinmad]

Too lazy to find the link, but read a rumour that Marvel have an unannounced movie coming out in 2018, and that it could potentially be an X-Men/Fantastic Four crossover.

[Kalyx triaD]

X-Force. I think I talked about this in the thread.

[Lock Jaw]

[Hanso Amore]

Bone claws? So this is pre mutant x

[Hanso Amore]

Couple things -

1) Charles can walk again...starts in a wheel chair then is walking on his own when they bust out magneto. Not sure that they are going to do to explain that.
2) Future Fighting looks good. Bishop shooting through Blinks portal is cool. Seems like Blinks teleportation is like the Portal Gun.
3) Somehow Magneto is in jail? Weird how they have that going.
4) Thought about Bone Claws a minute. If this is in the 70s it makes sense. In Origins he didnt get adamantium until the 80s then lost his memory. So Logan is going back into his body from the 70s and I think it must be just after he abandons Strikers team since he was fighting in Vietnam when Striker recruited him. So this may lead to Wolverine not having adamantium in the sequel to this as well.
5) Love the idea that in 20 years between this movie and the original X Men, Xavier goes from a young angry drunk McAvoy who is like 30 to Stoic leader Patrick Stewart age 60.
6) Time Travel Aspects...Obviously this creates a new timeline when they alter the past. But it doesnt make sense. So we are led to think that Patrick Stewart sends Wolverine back 50 years to stop the sentinels from being made in the 70s. But by that logic shouldnt there have been Sentinels in all the other X Men Movies? I dont see how there wasnt Sentinels killing Magneto in the 3rd movie when he starts a war.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Didn't wolverine end up with just the bone claws at the end of The Wolverine? Those clips could be after that point. Seems like it'd be better if they had him slicing sentinels with adamantium claws.

[alvarado52]

No...pretty sure he still had adamantium after The Wolverine.

Lets be honest, when they rebooted with First Class, it was clear as day they gave two shits about the canon they created previously with the other films. This is a stitched together movie, and they're doing it as best they can, but clearly some things wont add up at all between Origins, X Trilogy, and First Class.

[Hanso Amore]

In the Wolverine his claws cut off but bone claws grow back. But that would be in 200X

I could be wrong but I think Wolverine joins striker in Vietnam and does that squad with deadpool etc, quits in the 70s and goes and lives his life - tracked down does Weapon X in 80s then causes 3 mile isle incident. Then wanders till 90s when X Men find him.

So his body in those days was pre weapon X. So if they keep going from here on out into Apoclypse unless it resets time he will never have adamantium.

[alvarado52]

Are you sure? Im racking my brain here trying to remember....I know at the beginning when he saves that guy in the well, he has bone claws...but at the end, he has adamantium.

I remember the scene where he fights dude with the katana and cuts it, and I remember the scene where whats his face begins to drill into his hands to obtain his adamantium...did he remove it?

Gonna have to google this.

[Hanso Amore]

Its all about the time travel aspect. Logans body doesnt go through time just his mind. So realistically anything happening in the Wolverine movie means nothing.

As long as when he arrives in the 70s he doesnt already have the metal in his body, which I dont think he does, evidence by the trailer, I would assume this will alter time and he will no longer undergo weapon x

[Fignuts]

Biggest head scratcher for me is what Hanso said about the sentinels not being in the other movies. Hope that it is addressed in some way.

[Hanso Amore]

Its going to end up like John connor and Kyle Reese.

Wolverine goes back in time to stop the sentinels from being made which will then cause someone to make sentinels...or some stupid shit.

[Kalyx triaD]

He went back in time to his body before Stryker's program. I hate that I have to tell you this.

[Kalyx triaD]

Couple things -

I think I can help you on some of these.

1) Charles can walk again...starts in a wheel chair then is walking on his own when they bust out magneto. Not sure that they are going to do to explain that.

Robotic exo legs, most likely from Beast. It was revealed/teased in a past interview.

3) Somehow Magneto is in jail? Weird how they have that going.

They caught him sometime after the events of First Class. I assume he's been in an out of capture many times in his life.

4) Thought about Bone Claws a minute. If this is in the 70s it makes sense. In Origins he didnt get adamantium until the 80s then lost his memory. So Logan is going back into his body from the 70s and I think it must be just after he abandons Strikers team since he was fighting in Vietnam when Striker recruited him. So this may lead to Wolverine not having adamantium in the sequel to this as well.

A good thought. Seeing as how they're moving forward with the First Class cast for future movies, and Wolverine will have a third movie, he could potentially rewrite his own history. But Stryker is not the only man who could do this to Wolverine.

6) Time Travel Aspects...Obviously this creates a new timeline when they alter the past. But it doesnt make sense. So we are led to think that Patrick Stewart sends Wolverine back 50 years to stop the sentinels from being made in the 70s. But by that logic shouldnt there have been Sentinels in all the other X Men Movies? I dont see how there wasnt Sentinels killing Magneto in the 3rd movie when he starts a war.

Quite simply; they lacked the tech and story requirements to use Sentinels in the original trilogy. Just something we gotta roll with. Or maybe the original trilogy is the results of this coming storyline. When it comes to time travel stories, maybe best not to think about it too much.

[XL]

I was gonna suggest that the original trilogy is the adjusted timeline. But you beat me to it, so I won't.

[Blonde Moment]

Are you sure? Im racking my brain here trying to remember....I know at the beginning when he saves that guy in the well, he has bone claws...but at the end, he has adamantium.

I remember the scene where he fights dude with the katana and cuts it, and I remember the scene where whats his face begins to drill into his hands to obtain his adamantium...did he remove it?

Gonna have to google this.

Guy in well takes place in 1945, according to the movie lore Logan gets his adamantium sometime in the 80's while The Wolverine takes place roughly in the present. Will have to double check but I DO believe that in the after credits scene where Magneto tracks him down Wolverine does set off the metal detector which would indicate he still has his skeleton just not his adamantium claws, although they could retro that but saying his little woman had them replaced...

The Wolverine inb DOFP is the future Wolvie ported into the pasts body, it will be interesting to see if the past Wolverine ends up awake in the future ones body or kept unconscious like Kitty was in the comic.

Took a look at the end scene again and he opts for the pat down rather then going through which could either indicate he still has the skeleton or he likes his balls squeezed, in any case the assumption is he has his bone claws at the end of this movie and because DOFP takes place BEFORE Xmen Origins Wolverine he has bone claws in this one as well. Whether or not his future version has adamantium claws remains to be seen.

[Fignuts]

Fucking hate time travel.

When comic book fans are not complaining about lack of diversity in titles, titles they wouldn't support to begin with, milestone comics as an example, the speculate. Deal with it or stfu either way it is going to happen.

xoxoxoxo

[Tom Guycott]

Biggest head scratcher for me is what Hanso said about the sentinels not being in the other movies. Hope that it is addressed in some way.

Actually, I would have been more confused as to the fact that sentinels were in the third movie as a Danger Room sim... which would imply they were either faced and defeated in that timeline, or the project never took off, but the specs were found and used for training purposes.

It actually doesn't bother me anymore, though, since they are going the multiple/altered timeline route. That opens doors for tons of things to happen/not happen- such as everyone's contentions and confusions of exactly when and how the Weapon X project happened. Hell, Deathstrike may never get made and try to kill him this time around, and Stryker (or someone else) straght up tries to clone him and makes X-23.

Hopefully, though, this will completely retcon that goddamn "adamantium bullet" bullshit. Still doesn't fix Wolverine/Sabertooth being all buddy-buddy instead of Logan/Dog-that-at-that-point-wasn't-established-to-be-seperate-from-Sabertooth mess from Origins, but it would be a step in the right direction.

[JimmyMess]

There also was a sentinel in the training program during XMen 3 ... so they do exist in those flicks, just not as early IGuess

[Kalyx triaD]

Two different reports stating that Quicksilver is in fact a fun character despite looking weird.

[Tom Guycott]

I'm only posting- and repping accordingly- for that line from the cartoon.

Speaking of Morph, I always foumd it funny when he tells Gambit that he'd sneak into the Mutant Control Agency "like dis, eh?" as he changes his face and voice to Gambit... then in the next episode, for one shot when Morph opens a door, and suddenly it's Gambit's silhouette, implying he kept his promise.

Gorram, I love that cartoon.

[Kalyx triaD]

I know a ton of random quotes, I was a nut for that show.

[Kalyx triaD]

Early screening tomorrow. I'll hit you guys up with a one line review then.

[Rammsteinmad]

Gonna see it tomorrow as well. Reviews so far have been incredible for this film. I can't wait!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Probably gonna have to wait until next Thursday to catch it. I'll avoid this thread from this point on I guess

[Rammsteinmad]

:wave:

[Raven Reaper]

Saw it yesterday.. Since when did Shadowcat had Inception-ish powers to send Wolverine back in time ala Back to the Future

And stay tuned for Marvel's trending easter egg ending after the end credits roll: It had something to do with this guy:

http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100402174951/x-men/images/5/57/543935-apocalypse16.png

[Rammsteinmad]

I wondered the same thing with Shadowcat. Anyways, this film was awesome! The future Sentinels were terrifying, and the film does an incredible job of tying all the movies together and trying to retcon stuff like Cyclops and Jean dying.

End-credit scene has me excited, and rumours are that X-Men: Apocalypse will feature the "First Class" cast. I kinda want it to somehow blend both teams again, perhaps have all the "future" members with grown-up versions of the prequel members.

[VSG]

Good job with the spoiler there, champ. Not like the title of the next movie is giving anything away :lol:

[Rammsteinmad]

Also, despite how god-awful the sneak pictures were that we saw, Quicksilver was actually done pretty well in this film. I'm interested now to see the Avenger's interpretation.

[RoXer]

Is this not in IMAX? Does anyone know?

[Kalyx triaD]

Man...

My full write up will be Tuesday, possibly on my blog.

I can say this much; like Star Trek, this is an in continuity reboot. And there's a shit of debate for the future of storylines coming.

This movie was what the series needed.

And by the way; Kitty could do something like that in the comics, and even if not - secondary powers emerging isn't unheard of for mutants.

As far as I knew she could only phase out of sync with the earths rotation effectively holding her in one spot while the earth moves around her.

[RP]

Is Apocalypse being at the end credits, actually considered a spoiler?

[Raven Reaper]

yeah well, the easter egg ending felt like Stargate-ish all over again!!

Quicksilver and that girl named Blink I think are a bit new to me. Quicksilver is like The Flash of the X-Men group while the girl is like Portal 2-ish powers!!

[Hanso Amore]

Blink was fucking amazing

[Hanso Amore]

Ok so I'll give more later. Great film I liked it a lot.

If you read some of my earlier questions going into the film they aren't answered by the deflection is handled in a way I didn't even realize until after the film.
The future action was amazing.

[Kalyx triaD]

yeah I loved Blink. She was really holding her own and was a major ace in the sleeve during fights.

[Hanso Amore]

I hope she factors into the X Force film.

Gotta feel like the next movie will take the FIRST CLASS cast. Maybe Xforce takes sunspot, warpath and blink. would be cool.

[Kalyx triaD]

The next is confirmed to be the First Class cast, and there's a huge opening for the Future Cast as well. As I said I have a lot to say about this later on.

Thank you, Bryan Singer.

[Krimzon7]

Blink was great. Her powers looked amazing on the screen. Sunspot/Iceman were fun to see, but I was just amazed at how effective they managed to make a teleport. I truly hope they find a way to bring somebody like elixr into the mix. They need a healer on the team. Bishop was somewhat meh to me. The coolest thing he did was die. Wanna see more Rouge, especially if we're getting more Gambit.

[McLegend]

This was a really really good movie. James McAvoy was sensational. I know he is already close to be being a top star, but I feel this puts him over the top. This was his movie.

I hope whenever the Wolverine movie comes out it as The X-Men in it.

[loopydate]

Quicksilver was, far and away, the most entertaining part of a very entertaining movie. I loved the flick and this was the first time I ever really "got" Quicksilver. I always thought he was a lame Flash ripoff shoehorned into Magneto's backstory, but this was a tremendous interpretation of that character.

Plot holes abound, but I really don't care. I wanted to be entertained. I wanted X-Men vs. Sentinels. I wanted an effort made to address the frakking chaos that surrounds those movies' continuity. All of these were met and exceeded. Very well done flick.

[Ermaximus]

Rather enjoyed the brief cameos by some of the mutants.

[Reavant]

I liked how they dealt with the non returning characters. That was very dark. it is very weird though that they had emma frost and azazel killed off considering their importance in the future.

[slik]

X-Men: Days of Future Past is pretty terrific tbh.

Quicksilver was one of the film's highlights surprisingly. I also did not expect it to share some similar themes to Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

And though it is already known and probably goes without saying: Magneto really is pretty badass.

[RoXer]

How is Charles Xavier alive after dying in X3?

[Reavant]

How is Charles Xavier alive after dying in X3?

someone didnt watch the end credits scene in x3

[RoXer]

And I need something more than "a quick 12 second scene at the end of the credits of X3 explains it all".

[RoXer]

You beat me to it.

I'm not accepting that as an answer.

[RoXer]

Really fun movie though. Loves me some anything X-Men and this does the trick.

I thought Blink was Psylocke for a quick second in the beginning. Has she been in any of them? I want to say no but I'm not entirely sure. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender have really great "chemistry". Still. I dig it.

And it's nice to know that whatever happens in the next 2 or 3 movies, we get a big happy ending with a lot of the important fan favorites surviving and teaching at the academy. :)

[loopydate]

Psylocke was in 3. She was one of the cannon fodder Morlocks. Huge waste of her character.

[mitch_h]

Good movie. It was heavy on story but they did a good job of not wasting too much time on exposition. Opening scene was amazing, some guy in my theatre yelled to dead silence "now that is how you start an X-Men movie" It might not have been the best way to express his opinion but he was right.

[Kalyx triaD]

Charles transplanted his mind into his twin brother's comatose, mentally dead body. Even outside of the X3's stinger, it was also foreshadowed early in the movie during his lecture to his class.

[RoXer]

Mmmmmmmm, nope. I also need something more than "foreshadowing".

Look, I'm a nerd. I'm not saying I'm not. But I've never really been the type of nerd to point out continuity errors and whatnot. Every time someone would say (use your best nerdy voice for this next part) "UMMMMM, in scene 26a at the 47 minute mark you CLEARLY see the pen she is using as red and then in the following scene, 26b, the pen turns BLUE!"

Normally I would just roll my eyes at people like that.

The last moment we saw of a very major character was him getting killed. Horrifically. Every molecular atom of his being exploded.

I need a better explanation of why he's here now.

And that's coming from me, a nerd. Who only kind of knows his shit about X-Men.

I can't imagine what the casual movie-goer is thinking.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't know what to tell you. He transferred his mind; it is what it is.

Just bear in mind that it's a stinger to the weakest written X-movie, and perhaps they didn't give any more thought than 'he's a psychic, he transferred his mind, and he looks the same because that's his twin'.

There's nothing more, man. I'm sorry.

[loopydate]

Did they specifically say it was his twin? I remember the guy in the coma and him waking up, but no recollection of anything about a twin.

[Kalyx triaD]

The idea was sourced from Charles having a twin sibling who was born absent a mind. It was handled way different in the books but that's the only possible explanation.

[VSG]

So what got him paralysed? Plenty of holes here!

[Kalyx triaD]

I think after a long time his lack of legs was tied to his powers, intrinsically. His powers just depended on his legs not working for him. That's just speculation on my part, though.

It would be hilarious if he was just destined to get messed up and paralyzed no matter what.

[Blonde Moment]

Wasn't his twin just some young guy, HOWEVER, charles can make himself appear however he wants to whomever he wants. FFS he can make you eat your own foot and have everyone around you cheer you on if he wants.

Will have to see the movie I guess.

As for his legs thet could have gotten messed up or it just could have been psychological in nature and I think they may have addressed it as such after the first time he was cloned.

[VSG]

Let's not even get into how Juggernaut and Xavier's relation was deep throated in the movie series.

[Damian Rey]

I'll be seeing this in a fancy manner, at the Chinese theater in Los Angeles. Can't wait. All the talk in this thread, and the talk in general, has me fucking pumped.

[Blonde Moment]

Let's not even get into how Juggernaut and Xavier's relation was deep throated in the movie series.

That whole movie was just one giant abortion.

[Kalyx triaD]

Charles relationship with Cain wasn't essential in the grand scheme of things. We're not missing a cool narrative dynamic there.

[VSG]

Says the guy who thinks paralysis linked to psychic mutation is destiny and hilarious :roll:

Let me guess- you loved the last Wolverine movie as well.

I'll be seeing this in a fancy manner, at the Chinese theater in Los Angeles. Can't wait. All the talk in this thread, and the talk in general, has me fucking pumped.

I am still pissed that the theater I went to yesterday was sold out the entire day despite Fandango having said otherwise. I will try again this weekend.

[Kalyx triaD]

What are you trying to create here? I did not outright say Xavier's condition is fate. And no matter who says it, your job is to explain why them being brothers would have been important to X3's story. No matter what movie I like or what you wanna believe I said, you gotta do better than attacking me.

[DaveBrawl]

Hey, I enjoyed the last Wolverine movie very much. :'(

Still pissed over missing the movie sday that's all :'(

[Reavant]

So what got him paralysed? Plenty of holes here!

He was paralyzed from a bullet - damage to the spine.

The medicine beast gave him helped reconnect the nerve endings in his spine and in turn cost him the ability to use his powers. Its a side effect.

its like saying one of those stupid medicines you see as a commercial has plot holes because while its supposed to help your allergies, it also gives you anal leakage.

[VSG]

The "He" I was referring to was the twin brother who was comatose till Xavier died.

[BigDaddyCool]

spoiler warning: Trask demand a trial by combat.

[VSG]

lol trail by combat

:heart: BDC

[BigDaddyCool]

That is how he gets the sentinels to defend Kings Landing from Stannis Xavier and the Magnet Knight. I was really drunk when I watched this movie.

[Lock Jaw]

Just came from the movie. Quite enjoyed it. Not as good as First Class, but at least the second best of all the X-Movies. Maybe. Been a long time since I seen X2.

One thing that disappointed me was the film's score. First Class had an amazing score. Dunno. Small thing.

Quicksilver was cool, but it felt more like it was an adaptation of Speed from the Young Avengers. Feel like if he stuck around, he could have saved the day single-handed. Pretty much can freeze time.

Also really liked Blink, especially in the opening scene. Her powers looked really cool, especially in 3D.

[VSG]

I know what you meant, BDC. I was referring to Trail vs Trial, that typo made it funnier in my mind :lol:

[Lock Jaw]

By the way, what the heck is up with that post credit scene in The Wolverine that had Xavier and Magento show up? What is the story/continuity about that?

Unless that is like the start of their alliance/war against the sentinels..... or something....

[VSG]

That set up this movie, it followed up directly from X3 (Where the Sentinels were teased in the beginning training session).

[BigDaddyCool]

I know what you meant, BDC. I was referring to Trail vs Trial, that typo made it funnier in my mind :lol:

fucking dyslexia

[JimmyMess]

I just watched this movie. I absolutely LOVED it! It brought both worlds together, and told an awesome tale. Seeing all the faces together brought me back to when the first one came out. Just a whole whirlwind of emotions in that flick. Bravo!

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Just got back. Really enjoyed it, preferred it to First Class personally. Probably about level with X2 for me. The main Quicksilver scene was great, good comic relief in an otherwise entirely serious film. Loved seeing everyone back again as well, James Marsden got a bit fat. I'm kinda "meh" on Mystique in general so wasn't all that interested in her being so central to it all but whatever. I quite liked that they kept wolverines action quite minimal, it helped make the film feel bigger than the character which a couple of the others suffer from.

[Lock Jaw]

I hope that Blink returns in another movie.

[Rammsteinmad]

I'm really glad to see all the praise this film has gotten. Along with Captain America and Spider-Man 2 (which still did reasonably well), this has been a fantastic year for Marvel. Just hoping Guardians of the Galaxy does as well now.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Is Mystique as pivotal to the whole thing in the comics as she was in this, or was she just pushed to the forefront of it all due to Jennifer Lawrence's popularity?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

In the cartoon she disguised herself as Gambit to kill the senator, right? But it was more of a "twist" rather than her openly being the villain from the get go.

[Kalyx triaD]

Doesn't matter. Here's the comic and here's the movie; they're different.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

What? What doesn't matter? That I was wondering if they made a characters role more prominent due to the actors popularity? I guess that settles my curiosity then.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I get that it's a completely new take on the whole story and all that, but I'd guess if it was a lesser known actress portraying Mystique then she wouldn't have been so pivotal to the movie. All I'm asking is how important was the character in the original story.

[RoXer]

Hey Kalyx, it was just a question. No need to be a dick.

[Kalyx triaD]

So much need.

[screech]

In the cartoon she disguised herself as Gambit to kill the senator, right? But it was more of a "twist" rather than her openly being the villain from the get go.

Indeed. It would have been interesting to see them go that route here. Not necessarily Gambit per se, but another mutant to "shift the blame."

That would have altered - maybe removed? - the connection with Xavier and Magneto, which could have been another neat swerve.

[Lock Jaw]

Never read the comic story, but according to wiki Mystique does have a large role. Instead of trying to kill Trask, she is trying to kill Senator Kelly.

[Kalyx triaD]

It would be interesting to see how Kelly turns out in the new timeline.

Rogue retained her white streak in her little cameo, so some version of the Liberty incident did indeed happen, or at least some event with Magneto's mutation machine.

[Lock Jaw]

OR maybe in the new timeline, she just dyes it.

[Lock Jaw]

Almost would have preferred that they didn't show so much of the "happy future" bit. Left the past more open to change.

Like, maybe screwing around with the timeline somehow makes Iceman/Angel/Scott/Jean all born earlier and Xavier can assemble the real "First Class" for the next movie. Clearly that does not happen, though.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Indeed. It would have been interesting to see them go that route here. Not necessarily Gambit per se, but another mutant to "shift the blame."

That would have altered - maybe removed? - the connection with Xavier and Magneto, which could have been another neat swerve.

Yeah that's what I mean, feel that would've been the route they'd have taken if Jennifer Lawrence wasn't such a star right now. Don't get me wrong, the film was great, but the Mystique scenes were definitely the low points of the film for me. It all ties in though with her character being all about being proud to be a mutant etc etc etc

[Kalyx triaD]

Speaking of Angel, with the Big A fucking shit up in the next movie, I wonder if Ben Foster will get a call to try his hand at Angel's most popular turn.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Oh yeah, who was the guy whose power was to make people throw up? Terrible ability. Why even put him in the film lol.

[screech]

Throwing up is inconvenient in battle, though!

[Kalyx triaD]

It must have sucked when his powers started manifesting.

[Fignuts]

Just got back. Thought it was really great. Safe to say that Quicksilver surprised everybody, after those pics surfaced. Totally get where they were going with the look now, and it works.

Good to see Mystique flipping around and breaking arms again. Missed that in First Class.

I have the same concerns as others about the future ending. If we know that everyone lives to have a wonderful hope filled future, doesn't that kind of remove the tension and drama from any further movies that take place in the past?

Maybe they can just use some superhero sci-fi mumbo jumbo to explain that the happy future is a divergent timeline where Apocalypse was never born. Multiverse theory and all that.

[Fignuts]

Also gonna reiterate that they should have held off on the X-Men: Apocalypse announcement.

Post credit scene was great, but how much more awesome would it have been if it was completely unexpected.

[Skippord]

I'm gonna need to know if the psychiatrist from Lost returns as Senator Kelly

[Fignuts]

Nope.

I did find it funny though, that Kelsey Grammer probably spent several hours in make up for a 2 second scene.

[Lock Jaw]

I kind of missed it, who all did they say Trask had killed?

I heard Azazel, Tempest, Angel....

[Kalyx triaD]

Nope.

Everyone from First Class that wasn't in this movie.

I think you are looking way too hard into it. Just because the future at that point looks bright, didnt mean there wasnt any nasty shit that they had to further go through to get there. It also doesnt mean that it stays that way forever. It didnt even show that things were good, but rather that everyone was just alive.

[Damian Rey]

Saw this last week at the Chinese theater in L.A. Have to say I absolutely loved it. Easily the best X-Men film they've pumped out in a long, long time. I want to say it's about even with X2, which was may favorite of the series going in.

Agree with everyone on Quicksilver. He was a joy to watch. Loved the "my mom knew a guy who could that line".

Everyone brought their A game to this movie and it showed. Was very much pleased with Magneto consistently being a heel bastard and damn near ruining everything at the end.

Great fucking movie.

[Miotch]

Heading home to conceive Scottie boy.
Uhhh, aren't they brothers? O_o

[Sixx]

Uhhh, aren't they brothers? O_o

Havok's kid is also named Scott, at least in some parallel universe.

[Kalyx triaD]

They are brothers in the comics but given the timeline and such...

More than likely he's primed as Scott's father in this universe.

[Hanso Amore]

Maybe Magneto dies. That would be tension filled.

Magneto, Gambit, Mystique, anyone else they add in. None of them were seen in the happy future.

[Kalyx triaD]

Maybe they were in the backyard. Then again, the happy future just focused on the school/X-Men. It's not so much "Here's all the survivors."

[Hanso Amore]

RIght, but im just agreeing that just because there is some happy in the future doesnt mean everything is fine should that literally be the end game after Apocalypse.

[Hanso Amore]

Im thinking that that ending will be ignored anyways. THat was sort of a "We merged the two franchises and heres a happy ending for all the old faces you know"

And now First class takes over and will makes its own new future.

[Hanso Amore]

PS I would eat out Hally Berry's bung

[Kalyx triaD]

She was so obviously pregnant in all of her scenes.

[McLegend]

Can't they just keep doing combined movies?

You could just have Patrick Stewart telling Wolverine what he missed out on, as we watch The First Class cast go through it. I feel like that could happen.

Also with the 3rd Wolverine movie you think they just re-do X-Men: Origins Wolverine with a different spin?

[Kalyx triaD]

Actually Apocalypse has been confirmed to be telling another duel perspective story with two casts (thought not as prominent as Days). If I had to guess; the secondary setting would be Age of Apocalypse.

Wolverine 3 could just retread Origins now that there may be a very different version of the Weapon X thing to have occurred. In fact, everything about Wolverine 3 is up in the air. There are three whole timelines to choose from. Of course, Hugh Jackman has already revealed that they've looked at Old Man Logan. I just wanna see X23 and the return of Sabertooth.

[McLegend]

There's no point to do anything prior to Days of Future Past like a direct a sequel to The Wolverine, because that whole timeline doesn't exist anymore.

Just do a new version of Origins. How many times do you actually get to redo a movie that everyone wants to see? Redo it

That would suck. I mean, it was a good comic book but I don't see it making a good movie.

[Kalyx triaD]

It would be exactly like the book so I imagine they would adjust things to make it a fitting movie experience.

Honestly, I'm as sick of Wolverine's origin as I am Spider-man's.

[DaveBrawl]

And Batman's.

[Hanso Amore]

A split time with apocapypse with cable and friends in the future and first class in the 80s would be cool but I don't know if they can go to the well again with time travel

[Vastardikai]

Jennifer Lawrence wasn't that big of a star yet in First Class, and that movie was mostly about Mystique, as well. Maybe the makers of the last two films were just big Mystique fans?

[Asmo]

Finally caught this yesterday. Enjoyed it, but didn't leave me with a 'WOW' feeling once i left the cinema. That being said, i really enjoyed the First Class cast, except Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. Huge man crush on the actor playing First Class Magneto. The guy exudes the perfect attitude and energy.

Just an observation: The casual viewer was pretty confused regarding the plot. A lot of people in the cinema kept whispering questions back and forth asking their companions, or just wondering aloud why the X-Men kept reappearing and disappearing, etc. Especially after the first scene and the end, when we see everyone alive and healthy.

Did any of you experience the same?

[Rammsteinmad]

I didn't, but I watched it on the day of release at like, 10am in the morning. There was only about 20 people in the cinema, so I imagine we were all nerdy X-Men fans who were sad enough to be there at 10am by ourselves.

[Sixx]

Finally watched it and absolutely loved it, as I expected.

Though I gotta say I find it funny how they chose a midget to play the guy representing people who hate the mutants, cause they're different. Yeah, I know he said his motivation was different, but still.

[Sixx]

Oh, and Apocalypse kinda looked like a chick.

[Kalyx triaD]

No he didn't.

[Sixx]

Yeah, he did.

[Kalyx triaD]

Guess we're across the fence on this.

[Sixx]

Well, sometimes I think you like to disagree with me just for the sake of it.

Whatever, I still think the young Apocalypse here is feminine as fuck:

http://images.kdramastars.com/data/images/full/56232/apocalypse-and-four-horsemen.jpg?w=600

[Kalyx triaD]

I disagree with you because you post a ton of disagreeable things, not that we've had a rift in a while. You came to strange conclusions often, and have oddball complaints.

[Sixx]

When I post opinions like that I think Apocalypse looks like a chick or like that time I said Russel Crowe's outfit looked like a leather jacket or whatever, it's kinda pointless going "No, he/it doesn't". It's like I kept coming into all your threads about Jessica Lucas or whoever that was you had hots for just to say "Fuck no, she's ugly".

[Kalyx triaD]

You could, that's fine. People done it.
