None of the problems with Storm's character in the first two movies can really be blamed on Halle Berry. Let's face it, in X1 she was given bad lines, a baaaaad wig, and really nothing to do.

IMO in X2 she was a really good Storm, although she seemed a bit too American for me... a little lacking in the "African Weather Goddess" vibe, if you know what I mean.

However, that's the character they've created, and it looks like we'll see much of the same Storm in X3 as we did in X2, just with a little extra passion and leadership.

Hopefully, She has a lot more passion and leadership!!!:up:

I've really liked what they've done with Storm, compared to that of X-men (1) and X2... even though she has been, and will be, Americanized, I think she will portray more of thos Storm qualities we all want her to - just not the weather calling and the African accent.

No way they were trying to sound like the cartoon...On a similar note, I bet none of you would've wanted Dan to have a Russian accent like the one his character had in the cartoon..Ugh.. :p

They were most likely trying to give Halle the accent that a true Kenyan-American would have and not some generic overexaggerated African dialect that so many are used to hearing...

I haven't met many people online or in real-life that have heard how a Kenyan-American woman really sounds...I, on the other hand, have met one, and her dialect was very similar to Halle's in the movie..

I am in no way shape or form against Storm or any other mutant(except Toad and Sugarman). Their accents show their history and where they came from when a backstory cannot be used or fit in. I can bet you that non comic fans will not know Storm has an African heritage(besides her skin color). If she had a thicker or more prevalent African dialect...then it would be more prevalent. But I am 100% happy with our Storm we have now.

I agree with you...I never knew the accent was that *bad* until I went on-line and read other people's reactions. I think TNC is right on too--a lot of people don't really know what a Kenyan accent sounds like. When they think of an African accent they automatically link it back to something they've seen in Roots--as if that is the only dialect in Africa. :rolleyes:

Exactly!!! I never thought about that til' now. People need stop complaining about how the characters are portrayed, because moives based on games, comics, books etc. aren't always going to be exactly like the things their based on. I was Singer's vision to have the characters like that, so just blaming it on the actor or actress makes no sense.:confused:

Halle sounds nothing like the cartoon. Halle as Storm just sounds like an American Storm. I think that is most likely why he haven't had a back story for her.

in my opinion...the cartoon storm from the 90s never sounded african anyway! she sounded british, but thats me. then the evolution storm didnt sound african either. then we just read what she says in the comics, truth be told, know one will ever know what storm truly sounded like if she was a real person

I love Storm's new look but you know, Halle looks great with long hair (she is currently sporting one). But what ruined her look in X1 was the bangs. She should've had wavy white hair, same length as X!. It would've looked just great. But that's just me!

thats my thing! halle berry when she is sporting long hair can look like storm anytime in real life. but in the movies x1/2 it wasnt so. that was just the makeup artist! but i thought halle was very spot on with the look in the mansion scene where she meets logan with cyc. and the cut scene with rouge! I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE LEFT THAT IN! to me it added so much more to her character then!

personally...i liked halle in x1, i liked her hair in x2 when it wasnt pushed behind her ears, but her x3 hair is above all lol.

Halle Berry Loves to Move It, Move It

By ANTHONY RAMIREZ
Published: April 11, 2006

In Hollywood, the lingo can be as abstruse as the accounting, like "strike the baby" (remove a certain light from the set) and "kill the blonde" (douse a certain light on the set).

But "wrap party" is fairly straightforward: It is the bacchanal after production of a movie "wraps up," where the cast and crew let loose.

Reporters are rarely invited, the better to promote bonding and laisser les bons temps rouler.

So it was with some astonishment that the Boldface Posse oohed and aahed at an invitation to a wrap party, on the A-list, no less.

It was for "Perfect Stranger," a film just wrapped in Manhattan and starring BRUCE WILLIS and HALLE BERRY. We accepted with dispatch.

The party was Sunday night at a Midtown restaurant, Uncle Jack's Steakhouse, which is decorated in vaguely Bordello and early Prohibition. The salient thing is that Uncle Jack's has chandeliers, presumably from which A-list stars can swing as they swig Cristal, in dishabille.

Revolution Studios, the producer, describes the film as a dark psychological thriller about "secrets, lies and Internet chatter."

Cut! Print it! Let's get stupid!

What's more, Mr. Willis gave, midproduction, several playful interviews in which he used terms like "smitten" and "blinded" to describe Ms. Berry's perfection of form, to which she replied something along the lines of, "Oh, you card."

Might there be tension of a sexual nature at the wrap party, advances repulsed or accepted, whips borrowed from the "Catwoman" set?

Alas, the truth, as always, was more unsettling: The stars gave away door prizes. Ms. Berry and her co-star, GIOVANNI RIBISI, looking down from a second-floor railing, called out names for raffle prizes. A lawyer for Mr. Willis won a monster flat-screen set, HDTV-ready.

Ms. Berry and Mr. Ribisi then danced to "I Like to Move It," from the PG-rated animated film "Madagascar."

The smitten Mr. Willis was a no-show.

Is that from the episode where Rogue's absorbed powers went crazy and she started transforming into other characters (due to Mystique's power)?

Erm, I'm not entirely sure. :O

i have to agree w/ that but wasnt she old in the classic x-men cartoon series???

Yeah but weren't Scott and Jean old too? Well, older than people like Jubilee.

The only thing I didn't like about Evolution was that Storm was old, whereas Scott and Jean were in high school. :rolleyes:
It made her more commanding though.

The problem was that Storm was a little too powerful. They had to push her out of a lot of the episodes because of that, and because of the fact she didn't fit in with the teen activities of the other students.

She still had a few chances to shine however. Her loyalty to Professor X as she went up against Apocalypse to try and save him was a nice touch.

The evolution is evident... and I am definately a fan of the new look over X2, however considering the game takes place in between films (X2 & Last Stand) I think they had to use her X2 look. Her hairstyle was not what prompted me to post the pic, it was her stance and the lightning/electricity surrounding her. She looks powerful... IMO.

My point is, there seems to be less of a focus on glamming up the sex appeal side of Halle and more attention given to the "in-your-face" edge that Storm is supposed to have. I mean, Halle looks beautiful in both photos, but she seems harder in the newest shot. Rougher...

Yeah I agree. It's possible to strike a balance between beauty and power and I think Halle could get that balance. In fact, as someone (Poseidon perhaps?) said, she often resembles Storm more out of costume than she does in the actual films. Flowing robes and threads should have been Storm's trademark garb in these films...something to suggest royalty:

What a great weblink. Such an antidote to all the hatin'!

The person manages to make good comparisons from a detailed study of the character, and there is still negative stuff in there, but the overall approach is very much more balanced and shows a fondness for the character that is not often seen.

A breath of fresh air to see that open, constructive, realistic approach.

I would've preferred some gritting of the teeth myself. I mean, hello, you're pulling down walls of wind and forming twisters with them! LOL That's gotta take something out of you. And considering that she was using the powers defensively I would've liked to see some anger and more fierce concentration as she tried to eliminate those jets.

Her fringe is horrible lol.

To be honest, I don't think Halle could have coped with 2 sets of contact lenses. I remember reading that she hated wearing the white ones in X1, that's why her eyes are digitally white in X2. Same with Rebecca and her eyes.

This pic is freakin' awesome!!!

That is one of my favorite pics also. My favorite scene of hers from that movie is when she is in the X-Jet creating those tornadoes or whatever they were. The fact that she is creating those things whilst flying the jet, dodging them at the same time and still maintaining her cool impresses the hell out of me. That was a great scene, up until they got hit of course. :mad:

I love the shot from X2 of her in the X Jet summoning the tornados, where she's looking directly at the camera, everything goes dark, her eyes whiten and she tilts her head slightly, freaky!

I love that scene, too!!! Like someone said, when her eyes white and everything just went dark was so cool and the direction was great in that scene. But the only thing that bothered me it's when Jean stopped the one missile, why didn't Storm help her with the other?:confused:

Well what could she do? It was moving too fast for her to strike it with lightning or blow it away with wind.

Im sooo glad they didn't go with the blue eyes, because it just makes Halle look white. Halle is particularly fare skinned, so the white hair, combined with blue eyes would take away the ethnic look they have going. I just wish she hit the tanning beds or something before filming because Storm is supposed to be a nice dark brown, and Halle has never really looked that dark in any of the films. It'd be perfect if she had the skin tone of the versace add. She'd look more like storm than ever before.

In X1, Halle had the perfect complection for Storm, she was brown skinned. Then in X2, I don't know if it was the lighting, but she looked really light-skinned in some scenes. But in X3, she looks more brown skinned again!!!:up:

I agree, She did well with that horrible line!!! I mean, some people say her delievery sucked just as much as the line, but with that retarded line, how was she suppose to say it?:confused: Even if Halle wasn't Storm, I don't think any other black actress could have made that line even decent!!!

blue eyes would be cool. There's just no reason on why not putting them. Ok, contact lenses would probably make her eyes grey or dark green instead of blue, but at least they would be a differnt color...shows how much they cared about Storm in X1 :p CGI eyes would be too much cost for nothing though, and X1 had a pretty low budget to make CGI eyes all the time.

Thanks. I wanted her to have blue eyes too but Halle's eyes couldn't stand the contacts and as some of you have mentioned, the effects would've been too expensive.

Also, about the Toad line...I always thought it would had been better if she said something like, "Do you know what happens to a toad when is hit by lightning?" Strike. "Now you know."
