[Jiggapin0]

Hype is startin' too soon! Wait a couple years!

[Teesa]

^Haha, I just had to bring the topic back from the grave because I just viewed the trailer a few minutes ago...and guess what? It comes out this year :))) Not such a long wait anymore!

Everyone should go check out the trailer, looks awesome:

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/xmenthelaststand.html

[KissMe2408]

Holy crap, someone made a topic 2 years ago about this movie? 0.o

Okay...lol
I love XMEN so I def will be seeing the 3rd one!
Hugh Jackman....mmmm...What a hotty.
He can sing too, another plus.
Hugh Jackman probably could beat up Matthew McCaughney.
;0)

[Teesa]

^Haha, I knew you would mention Hugh!!(Lol, that rhymes!) Yeah, when I was searching, I was like WHOA. Someone actually made it. Awesome. And what a match that would be..Hugh and Matthew!!

[KissMe2408]

^haha you know me so well!
I mean, how could someone NOT mention hugh :D

Hugh vs. Matthew.
Yes I def would like to see that ;)
One of us could take home the winner, the other one could take home the loser. Either way, we'd both be happy :)
hehe

[voguelove]

im not really a fan of any of those comic book movies unless its spiderman. haha. so i probably wont be seeing it.

[*ranniel*]

i think ill watch it.

[*digital.fragrance*]

I CAN'T FREAKIN' WAIT!

I saw the trailer while watching '24' last week - I was completely floored..... YES!!!!!!! I can't contain my excitement.

[*Zatanna*]

I saw the newer trailer on the internet a week ago or so. Looks better than what I've seen so far. I like the films, don't get me wrong but I have a slew of criticism to go along with my enjoyment of the films.

I read X-Men comics and what bugs me more than anything is how friggin' young they cast Rogue. I was a huge Rogue/Gambit shipper and no way could Gambit be a part of these films (he's one of my favorite Marvel characters) after they cast Rogue the way they did. Also, I realize that Halle Berry is a beautiful woman - but that's the problem. She's too 'girly' for Storm (I always had in my mind that Angela Basset would have been a better casting choice).

Hugh Jackman looks good and I LOVE that they cast Kelsey Grammer as The Beast (he looks fantastic!). It's also cool that Pheonix is going to take a walk on the bad side (as indicated on the previews, albeit not sure how long she'll be there, or whether or not it's a plot-trailer decoy) but looks cool none-the-less. I'm bummed that Nightcrawler won't be in the film as I thought Alan Cumming did such a wonderful job in the role.

I will say this though - X3 looks a hell of a lot better than the new Superman film coming out. =/

WHAT?!? NO NIGHTCRAWLER?! no nightcrawler, no gambit, and i think no sentinels but iono, they're taking out a lot of good stuff. they were hella awesome though, i can't believe they decided not to add gambit in the movie

[*Zatanna*]

^ Nope, no Gambit. Rumor has it that they wanted to cast the guy that plays Sawyer in "Lost" but he wanted to just stick with the show. That actually would have been terrific casting - IF they would have cast Rogue at the right age. Interestingly enough, the girl that played Shannon on "Lost" turned down the role for Kitty Pryde (I think) to stick with the show, but her character was killed off on "Lost."

I also think it would have been cool to see the Black Panther. *sighs*

Oh and snippet from comics contiuum:

X3 UPDATE
Sources told The Continuum there will "almost certainly" be guests affiliated with X3 at both WonderCon and Wizard World Los Angeles.

In other X3 notes:

* Not only is Nightcrawler not in the film, it's likely he won't even be mentioned.

* As seen in the trailer, a different actor is playing the president.

* Burger King will have international promotions, but there's no word yet on domestic tie-ins.

That was from December, but nothing has changed.

[Tribal J_Rome]

^^yeah i know what u mean about rogue being hella young and all, i kinda agree but if they did cast her at an older age i think the story would have been more difficult to create. i think them making an academy full of young mutants was cool and made more sense. iceman was supposed to be old like the others too.

[*Zatanna*]

Oh I completely understand the direction they were attempting to go - they also wanted to demonstrate when/how a mutant's powers start to manifest themselves (hence the kissing scene in the beginning of film one).

So yeah, I understand - I just don't *agree* with it. I think a better character to utlilize in that capacity would have been Jubilee (who was younger than most of the group). Rogue should have been kept the fiesty and poweful southern belle that was created in the books.

[Tribal J_Rome]

yeah, i think if they did that rogue would be hotter haha

[shortiiex]

i comes out in 2 months!

Totally. I just don't agree with Rogue + Bobby.

Too bad Gambit's not in this movie. Or any of the other movies for that matter.

Jubilee needs more screentime.

[AngryBaby]

Hey what the hell, i already made this topic long ago with a trailer and everything.

mine was better. hmph

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Okay, I've been psyched for this movie ever since the end of the second one. Ummm, is anyone else excited for this movie to be released?

[inlonelinessidie]

Haven't seen the other ones but this one looks really good.

[SarahxJoy]

Yeap, I can't wait for it to come out.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Jean Grey! OMG.

[EddieV]

The Pheonix is Born!

[Teesa]

http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...40334&hl=Xmen+3

OMG. I AM SO EXCITED. YAY!!!

[*stephinika*]

Merged

Oh em gee, yes! I can't wait to see it!

[pandamonium]

cant wait lol there is going to be like chemistry with wolverine and phoenix they start making out i saw the clip from jimmy kimmel show.

[Chii]

WHAT?!? NO NIGHTCRAWLER?! no nightcrawler, no gambit, and i think no sentinels but iono, they're taking out a lot of good stuff. they were hella awesome though, i can't believe they decided not to add gambit in the movie

I read or heard (I forget which) that Alan Cumming didn't want to be in the movie because he didn't have a big part so going through hours of make up wouldn't be worth it. It makes sense...but I still wish that he did it.

Too bad Gambit's not in this movie. Or any of the other movies for that matter.

Jubilee needs more screentime.

I agree. I love Gambit! I read a few things about the past movies and I didn't even notice that Jubilee was in them!

I saw the trailer on TV for the first time yesterday. I'm surprised, I thought they'd be hyping it like crazy especially since it comes out later this month.

[nopattern]

i am so stoked for this movie. sorta sad that it's going to be the last one but i'm sure it'll go out with a bang. eeeee i can't wait.

[x__rilind]

edit: THERE ARE VAGUE SPOILERS IN REALLY LIGHT BLUE-ISH AT THE BOTTOM!!! AVOID THEM IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW YET!!

i grew up on x-men, so i've been so excited about all the movies.

but i absolutely can not wait for the third one now. i swear i have watched every single one of the trailers / tv spots / interviews / behind the scenes footage, all multiple time.

i'm so happy it's coming out on the 26th in the states, since i'm here now and all, and i get that day off of school because i'm a twelfth year. which means midnight showing!

so many people are dissapointed by who is in the movie and who isn't. i'm just worried that they've tried to put too much in plot wise and won't be able to develop everything enough. and i hope the new director did well enough. the change worried me. (yes. i am that big of a geek.)

heck, as long as aaron stanford is on screen, it will be good. haha. just like stan lee, i have a thing for sexy pyromaniacs named johnny.

yep. i'm more than a little excited.

WHAT?!? NO NIGHTCRAWLER?! no nightcrawler, no gambit, and i think no sentinels but iono, they're taking out a lot of good stuff. they were hella awesome though, i can't believe they decided not to add gambit in the movie

there's no nightcrawler because Alan Cumming said he didn't want to do another movie.
there's no gambit because it was initialy drafted as a cameo, and since the actor they were looking at denied them, they chopped the part. personally, i think the reson they don't want to put gambit in as a full role is because they already have all the tension with Bobby, Shadowcat, and Rogue.
And there actually are sentinels in the movie. there's one tv spot or special footage where they show logan beating the sh*t out of a sentinel, and that apparently plays a big part in some partial plot.

anyway, that's all for now.

[silver-rain]

Oh man, I'm so excited for this movie, I cannot wait. But first, I have to see The Da Vinci Code.

[shortiiex]

wow...did you guys see teh 7-minute preview...it was awesome!
i heard the movie is ONLY 1 hr 44 min...i expected like a 2 1/2 hr movie

[*FreeStickers*]

I saw the 7 minute preview and it looks sooo good. I really can't wait for this to come out, even though I've never been terribly interested in X-Men before.

[Tribal J_Rome]

lol that part where he flew into the Sentinal was kinda dumb. Coulda make it look more realistic. The director that did the first 2 left this movie to go make Superman Returns -.-

[JumpforJoy]

This Friday... I can't wait!!!

[LuvsDogs387]

man why are all the anticipated movies coming out in YEARS

So it can be 'anticipated'



Yeah I'm looking forward to it. I've got plans to see it with my friends on friday :)

[JumpforJoy]

I have to wait until Saturday... >.<

But that's kind of good because I hate crowded theaters.

[eccentricity]

Hahaha. The ice guy.. mutant is Troy from Vmars. (:
I heard it wasn't as good as the other two. Director change and stuff, but I most definitely want to watch.

[JumpforJoy]

Hahaha. The ice guy.. mutant is Troy from Vmars. (:
I heard it wasn't as good as the other two. Director change and stuff, but I most definitely want to watch.

No, that's his twin. Shawn is in XMen while Aaron was in Vmars.

[shortiiex]

lol...i read/saw the truth between Kiity and Iceman!

[eccentricity]

No, that's his twin. Shawn is in XMen while Aaron was in Vmars.

I so knew that.
Hmm.. not that I think about it.. their voices are different, and they look a little different.

[chasingvictory]

i care! since a person and i agreed to watch a movie once a month.. that will be the movie... yea it sucks to watcha movie once a month... but oh well.. its well worth it.

[*mipadi*]

Hell yes, I'm going to see it on Friday night. I've been waiting a long time for this one. Even though Gambit's not in it…

[*mzkandi*]

I already heard a spoiler about the movie (if it's true) and I'm not pleased. But, nonetheless, I can't wait to see this.

[shortiiex]

yeah i saw a lot of spoilers..and i saw like 6 scenes already...i spoiled the movie for myself
but i couldn't help it

[*FreeStickers*]

I saw it tonight/this morning (11:59 PM). It was AWESOME. Really. I didn't even like the first two, but I liked this one. If you see it, stay a little after the credits.

[Gypsy Eyes]

I'm seeing it tonight! I cant wait! It looks amazing!

[JumpforJoy]

GAH! Why does my bf have to work second shift?!?!?! >.<

[angel-roh]

It might not be a good ending or good plot, but I watched all the series of X-men. I have to watch this one :)

[silver-rain]

Grr, I have to wait till Monday to see this.
But I'm so excited, even though it got not so great reviews.

[AngryBaby]

in the reviews they're like, "it starts off good, but goes downhill after that"

well, i dont really give a f**k im still gonna see it, so take that USA today! hmph

[lalalaLANUH]

^The reviews always lie man.
I'm gunna see it on Monday.

[shortiiex]

it was scary Jean looked like thqat girl in Stay Alive
The movie had a lot of action
and it was mostly focused on Woverine and Storm
I liek the second one the best...this one wasn't that good...but it was a great way to end teh wholel X-men seris thing...it was soo sadd
i give teh movie a 3.5/5 stars

[lanbexx]

XAVIER LIVES!!!!!!!!! OMGGGG!!!!

[sprezzatura]

omg I am watching it tomorrow! I am so excited!


Can't wait to see this.

omg I am watching it tomorrow! I am so excited!


Can't wait to see this.

[*mzkandi*]

* Somewhat of a Spoiler ahead* Don't read this is you don't wanna know. You were warned.











Jean, Xaviar, Scott!!!!

The movie was a good ending for it to be the last installment of the series, I guess. I don't know what more to say. See it!

[ANG33ZY]

^^^ yeah i was sad :(((((((((

buttttt the movie was awesome

[xquizit]

Just got back from seeing it. Thought it was terrible. It doesn't even compare to the first 2... they were much better and more engaging. This one lacks a plot and the fight and action scenes just weren't as exciting. The new characters were poorly developed. They did a poor job with Jean as the firebird... she wasn't a firebird at all as she had been depicted in comic books. Halle Berry's acting bothered me. As a big fan of the XMEN movies, I am very disappointed.

Meh.

[eccentricity]

Spoiler! somewhat







Okay. The part after the credits. Totally unbelievable.. when he died, there was no way he could.. be alive again. I teared at that part though. And I agree that the new characters weren't developed. It should've been longer ish? The whole Bobby, Rogue, Kitty love triangle thing was messed up. Kitty wasn't even that big of a character in the past movies. And I liked Phoenix in the cartoon X-men, but I didn't like her in this movie. And when she turned grayish or transparent-y and was "phoenix".. she reminded me of a bird.

[Rampage]

Don't get me wrong I am dying to see the movie. But... is it just me or is it slightly over commercialized? I mean myspace... and you go to Dell.com... almost everywhere is promoting this movie. Yes, it's going to be a hit... but I don't need to be TOLD to watch something good. ><

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I couldn't get into the movie... I left after the first 45 minutes... I've never watched the first two, so don't mind me... I probably should have watched them before I went to go watch this one...

[*mipadi*]

Visually, it was pretty good, but I still think the second one was the best. For being the last film in the series, this movie really didn't have much of a resolution. It didn't really say a whole lot about diversity, acceptance, and so forth. Or maybe it said something, but it just didn't make any sense. At any rate, the point did not really come across in the film.

Remember when he was teaching the class? And they had the video feed of that doctor, Moira?, with that body? And he said something to the extent of, "What if you put the mind of father of two [something something] into the body of a killer [or something]" because that body has no conscious mind or something. He was teaching ethics at the time. IDK. But I'm guessing he left a part of him in that body? That's why when he said hello to the doctor she was suprised.

How about when Magneto moved the chess piece at the end??? Hehehhee.

[clarissa]

Dude. So you know that one character that could take away the mutantness? Like, I thought he would play this huge role in the end where he could help Jean out. But he just disappeared in the end. Wtf?

I can't believe they put in the "I'm the Juggernaut, BITCH" part. The audience loved that part. Haha.

I was supposed to see it last night! But I was broke . My cousin took my little brother though and they liked it. They said it's not as good as the other two though.

It definitely wasn't. Singer > Ratner. Why couldn't the studio wait for Singer. He said he wanted to make it. Impatient bastards. >.<

[eccentricity]

Sorrryy.
And yeah. I get what JumpforJoy said.. after I thought about it a while after. But if this is the last movie, they left a lot of loose ends.

[Gypsy Eyes]

Guys it's not going to be the last movie...

[*mipadi*]

Guys it's not going to be the last movie...

Generally, a trilogy is only three movies. It's called The Last Stand, which signifies that it is the final film—a point even Brett Ratner makes.[1] There might be more X-Men films, but this was supposed to be the end of a trilogy—and for being the final movie in a trilogy it left a bunch of loose ends.

[*Programmer*]

it sucked. chick flick. they killed of a main character first 5 min. of the movie....alot of crap didn't follow the story line and left alot un-awnsered for. they was just slapped together

exactly.

maybe that's what bothered me about the movie.
There were loose ends everywhere. Especially if you stay for the movie and watch the scene after the credits roll. Just kinda confuses you more.
Plus I don't like how most of the characters ended up...
Just the beginning def threw me off.
I don't know...I really think Singer should of finished the triliogy.
And It was just a horrible way to end it really.....
I dunno, I loved the first one when it came out, Thought the 2nd one was great, and was looking forward to the 3rd one and now that i've seen it...ah i dunno, it was incredibly sad.
Not the kinda movie you watch over and over again in my opinion..
I dunno, it bothered me and I don't know why yet.


*Ahhh hugh jackman was still yummy <3*

[lalalaLANUH]

^Ha. Agreed. Hugh Jackman...
I must go add him to my celebrity crushes list.
The movie itself...kind of confusing and...ah I didn't like it as much as the first two.

[goodcharlotte]

the first two were better i agree but it is way better than the da vinci code which was supposed to be GREAT but it was a waste of my life

[SarahxJoy]

I saw it the day it came out.
Surprising in quite a few parts. The end with Jean and Logan was what probably had my attention the most.

Good movie overall, IMO.

[xquizit]

So if it's the last movie, then why the cliffhanger?

[sprezzatura]

Ahh, I should have read this post before watching x-men. I forgot to stay after the credits.

The movie is so-so, IMO.

[*Statues/Shadows*]

Spoiler! somewhat
The whole Bobby, Rogue, Kitty love triangle thing was messed up. Kitty wasn't even that big of a character in the past movies.

I wouldn't really consider that a love triangle. It was more like he was being nice, and Rogue became jealous because they were actually able to touch each other.

How about when Magneto moved the chess piece at the end??? Hehehhee.

I'm pretty sure, from what my friend's boyfriend was babbling, that that was to signify him mentally regaining his powers since its all in their head anyway.

I saw it last night and was actually pretty impressed, because I hadn't seen the first two. Meant to rent them today, but they were out. Drat. Still, it was interesting enoiugh, and I fortunately didn't spend the entire thing confused.

Its not going to be the last X-Men movie. I don't know how they plan on making a fourth one with 3 main characters dead, but this article tells a little more: http://www.themovieblog.com/archives/2006/...rms_xmen_4.html

I think they are trying to say the "permanent" cure was only temporary, so they can try to make a fourth movie.

You're missing the point: It is the last film of the trilogy, which means that it should be wrapped up.

It's like the Star Wars movies. Episode III wasn't the last film, but it was the last film of the prequel trilogy, which is why the plot of the prequel trilogy is neatly wrapped up in Episode III.

X-Men III is the last film of this X-Men trilogy, so it should wrap up the plot of the trilogy, regardless of whether more X-Men films are made.

[*Statues/Shadows*]

I think what they're thinking is coming next is called Magneto, because if you look at Ian McKellan's IMDB page, it says they've announced they're making it, and judging by the chess piece, it would make sense.

[shortiiex]

X-Men III is the last film of this X-Men trilogy, so it should wrap up the plot of the trilogy, regardless of whether more X-Men films are made.

So let me get this straight. Its the last of this story in XMen but not xmen overall? like they could make another one later on but about a prequel or phoenix version..... kind of like superman returns , they made the old movies but this is totally different from the older version.
