Since I honestly have nothing to talk about, I'm gonna bring up ideas that won't happen and proabably never will. Still I wonder if some of you will find it agreeable.

-Tobey Maguire seen taking photos in New York. Nothing more, nothing less.
-Jennifer Connelly in her San Fransico apartment, watching the 'bridge thing' while on the phone with her ex-boyfriend in South America. Just a quick pass by a window or something.
-A black Dodge Charger racing across the background.
-One of the core cast members bumbing into a blind Ben Afflect in the street.

I would find cameos like those most agreeable.

Alot of the actors signed to other Marvel movies. Wolverine has his own, but I doubt they're giving Pyro his own adventure; so another X-Men movie is coming eventually. All this talk about it being the last is just to peak interest. And Marvel will want something to compete with DC's current and sense making film plan.

It's been getting fairly good reviews so far. Ebert & Roeper gave it 2 thumbs up.

I have tickets for noon on Friday (only 'cause the idiot at the counter didn't tell me there was a midnight show). I'll probably see it Sunday, too, since it's my friend's birthday and I think that's what he wants to do.

I'm absolutely geeking out right now. Probably going to go to Blockbuster tomorrow to rent the game, since it supposedly bridges the gap between X2 and Last Stand. Ah, what the hell, I'll probably rent X2 while I'm at it. Can't believe I don't actually own that yet.

The little sneak previews that FOX has been giving us the last couple of weeks have blown me away. The Pyro/Iceman battle looks amazing, as does the Shadowcat/Juggernaut stuff.

So... I did. And it's pretty frustrating. Basically a straightforward hack-and-slash when you're playing as Wolverine, which I am on the level I'm stuck on. At least with Nightcrawler, there's some strategy involved ('porting to get the drop on an enemy or to get to safety). And Iceman's controls are pretty different, but fun. The only strategy with Wolvie is hack hack hack, run away to heal, hack hack hack, run away to heal, hack hack hack. Still determined to finish before I go to see the flick tomorrow, but I don't know that that's going to happen.

A few days ago I bought X-Men 1.5 and X2 for under $20 (DEAL!) and I had a little X-marathon that night. I wanna play the game for story purposes, but it ain't something I'd own.

3 Days (2 for some)

According to IGN, there's a small scene AFTER the credits finish rolling. They say it's worth the wait. They did not reveal the extra scene or even hinted it's content.

Oh God, let Angel meet Apocalypse...

Okay, I have just returned from watching this movie. Overall, it was actually pretty good. Ratner seems to have handled the pressure pretty well spot on. Yeah, as speculated, it has its cheesy moments, but then, so have the other two (lest we forget the darling "you're a dick" exchange between Cyclops and Wolverine in X-Men 1). I would probably rate this one better than 1, but juuuuuuust below X2.

For the curious ones, here are some highlights and questionable/low points (in black below, because they contain minor-massive spoilers):

Highlights:
  • Beast. Beast is awesome. Everything about Beast is awesome. He is like if awesome and fantastic had a blue furry lovechild. He cuts sick towards the end, and made me fall in love with him. Kelsey Grammar is excellent, and I just want to take Beast home and pet him all fucking day.
  • Multiple Man. I love Jamie Madrox, and he is done very well. Snaps.
  • Iceman actually icing up. The CGI isn't brilliant, but the fact that he ices up makes it completely worthwhile.
  • Vinnie Jones actually says, "Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch". I don't know which inspired which, but that is a ridiculously excellent line for all the wrong reasons.
  • The Fastball Special, which we've all seen, but still rocks.
  • Pyro. Pyro rocks. Also, there is a pretty sweet Iceman/Pyro battle.
  • There is a sweet showdown involving the Golden Gate bridge, and it rocked my face.
  • The Phoenix stuff is cool, but also pretty fucked up.
Questionable/fucked up/low points:
  • Okay, so for starters, Cyclops dies ridiculously early on. We all knew it was going to happen, but it happened really early. He has like 4 lines in the movie, and then you don't even get to see him die, and it's never really even explained.
  • Angel seemed like a total ring-in character. He also has like 4 lines, and does very little toward the story other than the significance of him being the son of the inventor of the mutant "cure", but really, any mutant could have been put in there and had a similar effect.
  • Juggernaut's helmet is fucked up. Really fucked up. It literally looks like it has been fashioned from styrofoam. Maybe they should've docked Halle Berry's salary a bit and splurged out on some decent head protection for poor Vinnie.
  • This is probably what I would consider the low point of the movie. I didn't understand why it had to happen for any other reason but shock value, and the end totally demeans whatever meaning was supposed to be derived from it in the first place. I speak, of course, of the Phoenix's absolute obliterating disintegration of Charles Xavier. I wasn't expecting it, and I wasn't really all that thrilled by it.
  • After the credits, there's a scene involving Moira McTaggart checking on a patient, and he says, "Moira..." and she looks at him and says, "...Charles?" and it blacks out. Come on.
  • The only time you see a Sentinel is what you saw in that clip that was posted. The Danger Room sequence. No other mention of Sentinels whatsoever.
  • Colossus doesn't have a Russian accent. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
  • There is absolutely no reference, whatsoever, to Charles' and Cain's relationship.
  • Juggernaut's less-than-awesome defeat at the hands of Kitty Pryde and Leech.
Yeah, so overall, it is not bad. Like I said. X2 > X3 > X1. Wolverine is the tits. No Nightcrawler though

Yes, yes I did. It is mentioned in my spoilers, but in the event that you don't/didn't want to wreck the movie for yourself, then yes, I did.

ROFL, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS IN THERE. Highlight.

Magneto now sets his sights on Alcatraz and the destruction of the source of the cure, Leech. The best part of the movie now begins as Magneto storms the Golden Gate bridge, ripping a part of it off in order to connect the mainland with Alcatraz. The X-Men are getting prepared to face Magneto even though there's only 6 of them against his whole army. Magneto sends his "pawns" towards the army guarding Alcatraz and they shoot the mutants with the cure. Magneto's powers are useless against the plastic guns so he has Arclight send out shockwaves to destroy the guns. He then levitates cars from the bridges and Pyro lights them up and rains them down on the soldiers. It is now that the X-Men arrive! Awesome arrival by each one of the X-Men and they form a line in front of the army. More Brotherhood mutants charge and the fight is on. Juggernaut is sent to kill Leech and Kitty goes after him. She jumps him and pulls him down into the ground and that's when Juggernaut goes, "Do you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" Kitty gets to Leech but her powers won't work and Juggernaut knocks his way in. He charges at them and they jump out of the way as he knocks himself unconscious on the wall. His powers don't work either. Storm faces off with Callisto and she throws Callisto down on a metal fence and electrocutes her.


Edit: I see that Mitch had it in there already.

Gotta say, it really floored me. And when Storm and Wolverine found Xavier's wheelchair and started crying, it actually got me. Was amazing after the credits though, when he wakes up in the body of that catatonic patient.

Brilliant movie, all the way through.

Yeah, I really wasn't expecting it. In hindsight, looking back on it the morning after, it was probably not as bad an event as I originally thought. It was shocking, because like I said, I really was not prepared for it, and that part which you referred to moved me a bit too. I really enjoyed the movie overall, most of my low points are small things that are more a product of the translation to the medium than anything else.

I really enjoyed it. I felt like some characters weren't given enough to do, so I'm hoping for an extended edition. But I really enjoyed it. I'll have to rewatch X2 to be able to compare. I forgot to stay for the end credit scene. But its not like i won't see it 7 times while cleaning the theater.

I saw it today and it was real good. Sure, there were a few things that they could've done better, but overall it was a really good watch. I'd say it was better than the 2nd and close to the 1st.

Just found out I'm seeing it twice tomorrow. My friend's birthday gathering that was supposed to be Sunday got moved up to Friday, so now I'm seeing the noon show here, then driving to the next town over to catch it with my friends at 4:05.

I really hope it doesn't disappoint.
