Heeheehee...Just saw it today! Very cool! Better than the first!! I counted seven strange similarities between it and LotR. Mwahaha...LOVED Magneto. yay! Magneto! Was it just me or did someone shout "Sarumaun!" right after he said they should've killed him when they had the chance????
VERY GOOD MOVIE!!!

Legoles · 05-11-2003, 03:29 PM

If anyone has'nt seen this movie,

tough luck.

markedel · 05-11-2003, 06:06 PM

It was very good. I never saw the first ne, but it had a nice comic book feel to it.

Ragnarok · 05-11-2003, 07:54 PM

Overall it wasn't that bad. ( I never saw the first one) I had a few problems with it and some of the lines were a little cheesy. The plot wasn't that bad and the effects were great. But I felt a little dissappointed for an X-men movie but it was worth the time and money.

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-11-2003, 08:06 PM

Similar dilemma to the LOTR movies, eh?

Huan · 05-12-2003, 02:46 PM

Ragnarok, that you could be disappointed by this one proves that you didn't see the first one

. Me, there's not a single thing I would change.

Elfhelm · 05-12-2003, 05:16 PM

Things I would change:

1.) The costumes. OK, call me purist but I'm not into this matching leather thing.
2.) Rogue um doesn't fly?
3.) Cyclops is so much like Scott Summers... oh... that I'll keep, though I never liked him, ever!
4.) A little less wookie in Sabertooth, please (first movie).
5.) A little more Cairo in Storm's accent, please.
6.) Hey, how come Marie is suddenly not southern?

But I loved the movie and I'll see it again, at matinee price.

Dreran the Green · 05-12-2003, 05:19 PM

MWAHAHAHAHAHA......I would like to change it so that at one point or another Magneto shouts "You shall not pass!" to someone/thing

Yay.

Huan · 05-12-2003, 07:13 PM

Elfhelm: Personally, I think the lack of spandex costumes is genius. I love that they've followed suit in the comics. You couldn't get away with it with Spider-Man or Superman, but it uniquely works for the X-Men. They're a bunch of mutants: why dress like superheroes? I didn't notice much difference in Rogue's accent in the two movies. Most people have expressed the exact opposite opinion concerning Storm's accent. They hated her stilted pseudo-African accent in the first one, which is why she dropped it this time. Flight is in fact not one of Rogue's powers. Comic-book Rogue acquired the ability to fly, and her super strength, when she permanently stole the psyche of Carol Danvers aka Ms. Marvel. Who knows? In an upcoming movie Rogue might permanently steal the mind and powers of someone who can fly, just like the comic. That would be cool. By the way, as I said before, I quit reading X-Men in 1988, and having started back, I never see Rogue. Is she dead? What's happened to Rogue?

Yay.

Well he did say: "The War... has begun!".

He just dropped the "...for Middle-Earth...".

Bombadillo · 05-12-2003, 09:21 PM

Magneto was awesome either way. I was really excited when he sucked the iron out of the guard's blood and then rocked with it.

But alas, the movies do have the same problem as LotR.

I was wondering if anyone else caught that. I looked at my girlfriend and said, "That's cool because he becomes Beast later." I want Gambit to make an appearance.

I think Gambit's name was on Strycker's computer when Mystique was checking it out. There are a lot of others in there but I don't quite remember.

gimli7410 · 05-13-2003, 09:06 PM

I can't wait to see it on friday.

Huan · 05-13-2003, 09:58 PM

I just noticed Gambit's name on the list of mutants on Stryker's computer. That scene is gonna be great for the DVD, when I can freeze-frame on that list and the desktop on the other computer, where Mystique pulls up the schematics of Cerebro and Cerebro II. So far I've noticed Project Wideawake. I bet Sentinels are somewhere on that desktop. Really, someone tell me what's happened to Rogue in the comic book.

Elfhelm · 05-14-2003, 03:09 PM

Ah! Thanks for the reminder about the absorbtion of Ms. Marvel's powers and all that Kree warrior stuff. Obviously, since she is now following the TV altered universe plot instead of the original Rogue story, she's going to be a misunderstood teenager forever. I liked it better when she rebeled against authority by leavng Mystique and joining Prof X.

I haven't seen the new comics. I'm wasting my money on musical instruments instead lately.

I don't see any indication that she has left the X-men. They say she's been flirting with Gambit and they are on the Blue Team.

Anyway, and for what it is worth, I guess we'll never see that gorgeous X-Woman in skintight green and yellow spandex flying freely over billowing clouds in the movies. Tell me that wouldn't SELL! sigh...

p.s. They are showing her in red and blue now, and she was last featured in X-Treme X-Men #19, 12/2002

Huan · 05-15-2003, 11:05 AM

Ah, I guess I just don't ever happen to pick up the books Rogue happens to be in. But I only regularly read Grant Morrison's anyway. I don't bother with all that ultimate and x-treme stuff. I still think they might engineer in the movies so we see Rogue flying at some point.

Elfhelm · 05-15-2003, 03:54 PM

But I hear Grant Morrison is going to turn the entire series on its head and change personalities and everything. The "New" X-Men, coordinated with the movies, as if the old X-Men never happened. That's what I was told, anyway.

At least it's not Spandex

2.) Rogue um doesn't fly?

Um in the comic book she flies. Remember X-men versus fantastic four? She flies in that one.

I haven't gotten to see it yet and my 'rents might not let me.
Have no idea why. Something about how Mystique is nude.

EDIT: Just noticed someone posted about your comments. Sorry

Firekitten2006 · 05-15-2003, 06:10 PM

Ok I havent gotten to see it, really busy lately, but I heard a rumor that Jean Grey dies. Is that true?
