X-men

[knownbeforetime]

x4? I thought it was supposed to be a trilogy?

 

[NPH]

I heard there was a scene that played after the credits. I saw where Magneto was only able to move a single chess piece but I take it that this isn't it. Can someone tell me what that was? I don't feel like paying another 7 dollars or waiting for the DVD.

Spoiler Alert!

Spoiler: Final Scene

I missed seeing it, but apparently the 'uninhabited' body that Prof. X was talking about during a class wakes up and looks over at Moira McTaggert and says "Moira" in Xavier's voice

In the comics, Phoenix was a cosmic entity that joined with Jean Grey. It basically brought destruction in order to reform everything. Jean by herself was never near as powerful as X3 made her out to be.

That can still happen. As far as I can tell, nothing is off the board escept Cyclops.

Ah, it's comics ... anything can happen. And remember the number one rule of comics: If you don't see a body, don't believe they are dead for good. And even then, don't bet the ranch.

One of the things I felt in X3 regarding certain characters was that you could get a feel for those actors who were ready to leave X-men behind. Cyclops, Rogue and others just seemed to really fade into the background and had things happen to make it plausible for them to not show up in any potential sequels.

Ok, I totally didn't understand what you wrote under the spoiler tag.... First off, I have no clue who MM is.... Has anyone actually seen it?

Jean's power was why I was ambivalent about her new persona. She had WAY too much power. It reached the point of unbelievability.... (Of course, anybody with the ability to manipulate objects with their mind is a bit of a stretch but you get my meaning...)

Ok, Moira in the comics is Xavier's former lover/colleague and appears to at least fall into the colleague category in X3. You see her talking on the computer screen when Xavier is teaching a class about ethics and there is a body on the table next to her that is a mutant with no 'soul', to put it as simply as possible. Xavier discusses the ethics of whether it would be appropriate for a sufficiently powerful telepath to 'inhabit' that vacant yet living body.

As for Jean, taking it from the comics once she became joined with the Pheonix force she was incredibly powerful ... far beyond what she is capable of even in the movie. A big part of the storyline when she becomes the Dark Pheonix is that she destroyed an entire inhabited world.

The movie takes it a different direction to avoid all the comic cosmic stuff and just says that she was always this powerful but Xavier suppressed it so she could stay stable.

Ok, I totally DO understand it now... Thank you...

The whole Phoenix thing bothered me because of the age we live in where people are pushing the idea that you can become your own god and Phoenix seems to embody that concept. Maybe that's just fear talking... I don't know...

It is, of sorts

Meaning the last stand title was given because it would be the last stand that 'these' characters take on as such, as a full group (as you know because of the deaths)

However (they are transcipts on the net) where as the creator and other people involved talk about def making more ... especially if this one did well in the box office.

 

[General_Peanut]

There has been talks for a while about wolverine spinoffs

 

[SteelDisciple]

Amazing movie. And one of the best Friday openings in movie history too!

It's been confirmed...we not only get a Wolverine spinoff...but X4 (possibly a new trilogy)

Also...don't bet on Scott being dead.

There is also confirmed an Extended edition X-3 dvd coming out.


The villain in X-4 is likely to be Apocalypse. (fans demand it!)

 

[CFfosterANGEL1]

it was awesome! I loved it. I still cant believe that the professor died though. That was shocking. Then again i didnt read the comics , I just love the movies.

You didn't stay after the credits did you? =P

 

[KittyPryde]

The best movie of the three. Very different story while following the theme of the comic book. Danger room seen cool. Always love Kitty Pryde. Glad she had an extended role in this one.

 

[Amplifyme]

O my I loved it!!!!!!!! I went to see it at a 12am showing at the Amstar Theater. They where showing it in 3 or 4 different shows at one time, and ti was so crowded!!!
But I must SAy Gene/Phonix is my Favorite!!!! And she is so fine!!!!!!!

 

[JadeTiger]

I thought the movie was decent. THe ending was not the best. It was more powers than the other two but it was to short. I like X-2 on a more plot standings

 

[Sword-In-Hand]

Can we demand that Gambit be actually put in the next one if there is one? I liked all the movies, but I'm so disappointed every time I see him not in them. Although Beast was pretty cool.

*possible spoilers*

i've seen it 3 times, and it just keeps getting better and better.

the first two were good, but this one was amazing. wolverine really held the movie together and i felt that they developed his character along so much better which made me immensely happy.

however...

i did NOT like kitty pryde. she was so young and i dont think that she had any place going into battle. also, its sickening listening to these older men drool over her when she only looks to be in her early teens (i know she's about 20, but she looks so young in the movie).

also, colossus wasnt shown enough.

i was happy about rogue at the end! haha i never really liked her anyway.

the whole thing between iceman and kitty was kinda creepy. now, i know in real life she's older, but she looked so young here that i was slightly disturbed.

i loved the beast. he was definitely my favorite new character. kelsey grammar was an excellent choice.

the end was crazy. i cant wait for the magneto movie, or the wolverine movie!!!

 

[2LivIsChrist]

Can't wait to see it. Ahh, and why did some of you have to post what happened. It kind of ruined part of the movie for me.

I heard they were going to put him in the thrid one but, there was not enough time to do him justice...i hear they are going to put him in one with wolverine as a main character...lets keep ur fingers crossed.
