All I can say is, GO SEE THIS MOVIE!  Its 50x better than the original.  The ending is quite a shocker too!  I can't wait to see what Jean turns into.  Whatever it is, it had wings.

You haven't seen the original series, have you? She goes about it different, but it's still the same


And the movie ruled.

Yeah, it was a good movie, but I think the rape scene was uncalled for. I mean, I'm sure real mutants would have some kinda freaky-ass initiation ritual to their secret mutant armies or whatever, but this is just a movie, and I don't want to see that. Particularly the bit with Wolverine and the knife. Bleah.

You mean the cartoon?  Just the first couple of seasons.  Last episode I recall seeing was the one where Cyclops and Jean get married and Logan goes hog wild in the sim room during the wedding because he's PISSED.

btw, am I the only one that was half-expecting that chick to kick Wolverine in the balls?

heh, that fight was sweet. I don't like how they played some of the characters wrong though. If you remember, Deathstrike or Uriko, was supposed to be Wolverine's lover. Them two were part of some top secret military team along with Maverick, Silver Wolf, Sabertooth and somebody else I think and a bunch of them (minus Mav and Silver) were all animantiumized.

I guess they do that though with book/cartoon to movie conversions (change characters and stuff)

Stryke was just being sarcastic.

[Stryke 9]

Actually, no, that was being bitter about the fact that I never get to see any of these movies until about a month after they come out, and thus that by the time I finally go see them I already know everything about them. Being sarcastic would be "Oh! X-Men! Freaks in Spandex! Whoopee!"

Do you mean Phoenix?

I so can't wait to watch this thing. It came out mid-week here in Aus, I just have to find a free weekend to catch it.

[Knight Templar]

well, she started. Me thinks she'll be the focus of the next movie, or the movie after that if the writers are smart.

[Starks]

There will be five movies I believe...

[Knight Templar]

Your guess or do you have sources in higher plains of movie production?

Yeah, where'd you get that from? What I heard from the director was that he wouldn't want to create any more X-Men movies if he wasn't working with the original cast... and, well, it's sad, but I don't know how long Sir Ian Mckellan is going to be with us.

Storyline-wise, who knows how many movies they could make. I doubt we'll be seeing Onslaught (I won't spoil it all for you, I'll leave it at that) for a real long time.

[Starks]

I'm just guessing... There will be a third movie which is almost a certainty. It really all depends on how long McKellan can last... I don't know how they did it with Q in the James Bond movies. But there is no such thing as a replacement for Magneto.

I saw X MEN on thursday. It was really awesome. I felt sorry about Jean but anyway it was good. To talk about comical scenes, the one where Wolverine meets that cat in the kitchen...well those of you who saw it know what happened.


Now, Matrix is next.

Desmond Llewelyn was 85 when he passed away in 1999. *a moment of silence* He did 18 films... starting in 1962 with Dr. No. McKellen (with an 'e', my bad) turns 64 this year... Here's to another couple of decades at least.

[Stunaep]

Gonna see it next friday....

Spoiler:

Dude, she drowned

Anyways, the movie was pretty awesome. By the way, there is a show on Toonami called X Men Evolution. Anyone watching this?

Very clever spoiler masking...

well, if you knew anything about the original cartoon or watched the water closely at the end, you'd realise that she ain't dead.

And Evolution is actually done here IIRC. It was ok, but no where as pimp as the original.
