X-Men 3 is headed in the same direction as Mortal Kombat Annihilation.

[PikaZeroX]

For those of you that aren't familiar with Mortal Kombat Annihilation, it was the sequel to the video game movie Mortal Kombat which was a surprise hit. MKA tried to have it all, and failed horribly.

It was crammed to the brim with characters, there was no room for character development. The plot took a giant nosedive with pathetic plot devices and killing off great characters for terrible reasons. Sounding familiar?

I groan with each cast addition report on more mutants (If that model is Stacy X, WTF?!), and how important characters are looking to go out in a whimper (Especially Cyclops getting punked when he's essential to the whole storyline. Hell, even if he doesn't die he's apparently gotten the big shaft again. Where does he get sidetracked this time :down ). Mutant cure? Even if it's a cover for the legacy virus it's a lame plot device that rehashes "Bad man wants to get rid of mutants" from X2. They even have use a mutant to produce the "problem solving" agents they need AGAIN.

There you go Lightning. :)

Thank you. I appreciate your opinion, although I don't share it. But thanks for substantiating your views all the same. And again, welcome to the Hype!

I can see some of your points most definetly, but the only thingt i disagree with is the mutant cure issue.. I think it's an interesting idea that really toys with the individual concerns on the characters.. I think if used correctly, it could work nicely.. Generally with X-Men, you cqan't stray in too many directions besides "Humans trying to rid themselves of Mutants" or "Mutants trying to rid themselves of Humans"... it's kind of a one or the other situation, that in my opinion, has to be taken. It just depoends on how you will take this approach and i like the cure idea. :)

[GNR]

That's good for you buddy!

[blades_shades]

That's the most ridicuous thread ever. Even more so than my David Coulier for Gambit thread. You can't compare MC2 to the mega-budget X3 directed by Brett Ratner with some very popular stars including Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Kelsey Grammar, etc...This is an event film and it's gonna be a huge battle. Many of these new faces are coming out of the woodwork for a reason. They're not just being thrown up onto the screen for kicks. Only a handful will have the spotlight though so there is no problem with too many characters. It's like one of the producers said. It's a Marvel movie it's about the X-Men. The X-Mansion has more people in it than just the main characters. So you need extra's and smaller roles to fill it in. So when Wolverine walks through the mansion he's not going to bump into some random school boy. It'll be a mutant and you want to take advantage of that and maybe make it a cameo that the fans may recognize...but the general audience probably won't.

[CHEZ]

It's not over cast. All the characters mentioned to be in the movie are not even going to get a speaking role. They may not even end up in the final cut. They just wanted to give names to the background characters. Yes, there are a few new characters that will get introduced, but it's clear that it's being approached as efficiently as possible.
Everything is going to be all right, just relax, and you'll see.

[CASHMERE]

How pretentious.

[StevieNicks1988]

1) Mortal Kombat Annihilation was originally a much better film, but because of shotty editing and taking a lot of stuff that didn't need to be cut out, it became a sloppy mess.

2) The directors and producers didn't think the movie-going audience would get the MK-Mythology so they took out most of the juicy bits of storyline like the first MK had and just made it a movie full of action.

3) X-Men has already established its background and story and after 2 movies, people get it well enough so that with X3, they won't have to worry about people 'getting lost' among the storytelling.

But Mortal Kombat has no substance anyway. Annihilation is no different to the first Mortal Kombat film - weak characters and a story-line just there to set up multiple fights.

X-Men is about much more than just fighting.

[StevieNicks1988]

The Mortal Kombat story has gained MUCH more depth since the 90's with the recent games, but thats not the point. The point is, like James Bond in Die Another Day, the director gained too much control and ruined the film.

With X-Men, that hasn't been the case and I don't see why it would be now seeing as it rakes in oh so much money.

[Octoberist]

Die Another Day was bad...The World is Not Enough was freaking boring.

[Obsidian]

What made Mortal Kombat: Annihilation suck was that Paul W.S. Anderson was involved in it. Any movie he touches is crap.

I feel bad for PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON...(also knowns as P.T. Anderson).

Poor guy...people confuse this genious with Paul W.S. Anderson..a geniue hack.

With Alien Vs. Predator, Paul WS displayed his raw talents of being bad. That script was terrible. That one Italian scientist was JUST there to deliever the 'backstory' before he got killed off. That was his only intention; his only purpose. He's not even a character; he's a exposition plot device. A big no-no in screenwriting!

That's right.
Like I mentioned earlier. I'm afraid X3 is in danger of ending up like MKA b/c that was a sequel where they tried to do way too much with SO LITTLE TIME during filming and post production. That's all I've gotta say.

[Mistopurr83]

What made Mortal Kombat: Annihilation suck was that Paul W.S. Anderson was involved in it. Any movie he touches is crap.

MKA was NOT directed by Paul Anderson (he had no input on MKA either). It was directed by this unexperienced director named John R. Leonetti. Most of the blame goes to him basically. :down

[AdWolF16]

sigh, the "too many mutants" argument is getting way old. the only real new characters are going to be Beast, Angel, Kitty, and Juggernaut. everybody else who has been cast is just there for a cameo role -- if you need someone to be a henchman, why have it be someone totally random and new? why not have it be "avalanche" or "omega red" as a cameo/nod to the fans? if you need a doctor, why have it be someone totally random and new? why not have it be "dr. rao" as a cameo/nod to the fans? if they made it clear that we were seeing Blob and Cable and Forge and Trevor Fitzroy and Mastermind during the Cerebro scenes in X2, nobody would have complained about "too many characters" and "lack of development." hell, nobody complained about having so many new characters (Beast and Siryn and Colossus and Nightcrawler and Stryker and Artie and Deathstryke and Pyro etc etc) in X2. X3 is going to be no different.

[tonytr1687]

Even though I don't think X3 is going the way of MKA, I can see some of the similarities. The pretty boyfriend getting killed off in the beginning of the movie (Johnny Cage/Cyclops), and then the mentor after that (Raiden/Xavier), the dozens of characters and cameos that serve no real purpose, a bunch of different storylines crammed together. Despite all this though much of these similarities are only rumors for X3, and I'm confident the team will deliver a much better movie.

Oh and to clear things up, Paul WS Anderson was not involved in the MK sequel but he did direct the first movie, which I thought was decent for what it was.

[-Æ-]

Mortal Kombat Annihalation was an awesome movie. There was no need for character development, because its a way to show fans the characters without waxing poetic about it. They did a fine job, just not alot of people respected it, although it was what I always wanted to see in a game movie. Yet then there is Final Fantasy Advent Children, that movie had all the original characters in it, and they did an excellent job, a beautiful, terrific movie.

[PikaZeroX]

False. MKA was directed by someone else, Paul Anderson directed the first which was a GOOD movie. AVP sucked hard though.

It's obvious X3 and MKA are different movies, but they're going down the same road. X-Men 3 is under an even tighter schedule than MKA was, don't expect anything as awesome as X2.

I'm about to get a little off topic here, if you haven't seen MKA, don't bother reading this post.

Believe me when I say I wanted to love MKA, I wanted it to be "awesome". By no means is it anything other than garbage. Reasons:
-Only two original cast members returned, the new castings are very bad.
-Atrocious story that makes little sense
-Johnny Cage, the most likeable character from the first movie, gets offed in the first 5 minutes.
-Raiden was very out of character, terrible continuity.
-Shao Khan is NOT related to Shinnok or Raiden. He's not a bald guy with fat arms either, should've left the awesome helmet on.
-Fan favorite characters show up out of nowhere, get in a fight and die or completely disappear off the face of the earth.
-Power Rangers esque fighting

[NocturnalMadman]

And WHAT exactly is it that hints that X3 will head down that route?

All we have to go on is rumours and it's already been stated that there are around 11 chars considered as "main" that's not THAT many and is still no indication of their screen time

[Fray Ok]

The difference is X3 has talented actors.

[PikaZeroX]

Superman 3 did too :(

And WHAT exactly is it that hints that X3 will head down that route?

They are rumors and perhaps I'm jumping the gun, but they were from a script that is looking more and more like the one being filmed. My expectations are dropping very fast. Please don't think of me as some sort of troll, I loved the first two films and I'd just hate to see the third one fall on it's face with lazy plotlines and killing off important characters.

[panzertank]

Ok, so I don't say much, I mostly just look and get my info that way, but why of all the terrible sequels to compare X-3 to, did you choose MKA. They are totally different circumstances, big to small budget, wide audience to video game fans, good actors to bad actors. I mean, not that I am comparing it to this, but Batman&Robin would make a much better comparison. MKA didn't have an overkill of characters, it just had terrible ones. It doesn't make sense just to compare two sequels thinking they have alot in common. Look at every sequel, they always add more characters into the fray, thats what sequels do, expand.
So in accordance with this one I think I will start a thread titled...
X-3:Citizens on Patrol???

[The Guard]

You know what MKA had against it? Story and actors. Know what X3 has going for it? Story and actors.

Rehashing plot devices and killing off characters is a positive?

[Doctor Goblipus]

This guy makes some good points.

[cookiva]

Rehashing plot devices and killing off characters is a positive?

I dont think anyone is dying. Oh, and its the XMEN!! How would you like it if instead of Phoenix being a main plot of the movie, it was Xmen 3- The gang finds out who stole the pie!

[Demon Within]

What they did to subzero in MKA was criminal. Lets pray to all that is Holy that they dont screw a character like that.

[StevieNicks1988]

Mortal Kombat is different. Low budget, casting sucked, director didn't give a **** about the story, characters, anything. Also edited the **** out of it, as I said earlier.

Here we have a nice fat budget, good casting, director is a comic fan and X-fan who cares about story, characters, and everything involved. Also, I doubt editing will be a problem here as there aren't 2 hours of fightscenes.

[Kmack]

I don't think it will be anywhere near as horrible as MK Annihilation:o

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I dont think anyone is dying. Oh, and its the XMEN!! How would you like it if instead of Phoenix being a main plot of the movie, it was Xmen 3- The gang finds out who stole the pie!

Well, maybe that way they could finally fit in Gambit!!! :eek: (sorry)

(There is a real purpose to my post, I swears it)

Okay, there are a few things I wanna reply to, and I'm not quoting it all, so please just bear with me here.

1. To the person who said Die Another Day sucked and World Is Not Enough was boring... WHAT KIND OF CRACK ARE YOU ON?!?!!

I'm sorry, I'm hard pressed to find any of the Pierce Brosnan Bond movies to be anything close to "bad". Pierce is my favorite Bond, Die Another Day and World Is Not Enough are 2 of my favorite Bond movies, and Brosnan's worst Bond movie (Tomorrow Never Dies) is still among the "better of the franchise" list. I really thought that Die Another Day was one of the best Bond movies period.

2. I also really liked Alien vs. Predator, why all the hate?

I'm not a big fan of either franchise (In particular Predator, but I do like the Alien movies), and I thought the "vs." movie was just going to be lame. But my friend is a huge Predator fan, and was looking forward to this movie almost as much as I anticipate an X-Men movie, and I went with him to see it, even tho I thought it was going to be horrible.

I actually left the theatre pleasantly surprised, and ended up buying it on DVD when it came out.

Now, my friend and I both acknowledge it was nothing supertacular, but it's a very entertaining movie for what it is, with some very very nice action scenes.

3. One quote I want to respond to in particular:

"They are rumors and perhaps I'm jumping the gun, but they were from a script that is looking more and more like the one being filmed."

Are you talking about the script that AICN reviewed?

Now, granted, there are some things in that script that are proving to be legit (Alcatraz / Golden Gate Bridge, Jean Grey origin scene), but there is also a lot of it that is proving to be quite inaccurate at this juncture:

-I believe in that script, Jean Grey / Phoenix was more of a background, subplot kinda thing. I believe that one of the writers (Kinberg I believe) confirmed that the Phoenix storyline is actually going to be a major, major focus. Not just something happening while the X-Men duke it out with Sentinels (which I wish them the best of luck in doing, because I know that when I was creating my fan-plotlines for X-Men 3, I was completely and utterly stumped on how to handle the Phoenix situation)

-It appears that Cyclops doesn't die all that early, as I believe we had a set report which involved a nice fight scene with Cyclops. Even as it was, I never believed he would really die in the movie, because Cyclops' death was written as a way to accomadate Marsden's busy schedule. However, filming of X-Men 3 was pushed back, which allowed him to be on the set of this movie for a much longer period of time, allowing him to have a beefier role. I will seriously be shocked if Cyclops dies in the movie.

-Omega Red. Where in that script review was Omega Red. Despite the fact that came from RickyH, I think it's pretty safe to say that was a very legit picture, as even Fox asked a1ant to take it off his site.

That script that AICN reviewed was obviously legit. But it was also a very early -draft-, not even close to a finished script. It's a basic outline of things they wanna do. The details will be worked on and evolve as shooting presses forward.

4. One more quote:

"Rehashing plot devices and killing off characters is a positive?"

We don't know that the plot device is being rehashed. We don't know how any of these characters are going to play into the overall plot. And we don't know who, if anyone, is dying.

5. Now on to the characters.

Let's take a look at the characters that we are confirmed to have in this movie:

-Xavier
-Cyclops
-Jean Grey / Phoenix
-Storm
-Wolverine
-Rogue
-Iceman
-Kitty Pryde
-Colossus
-Beast
-Angel

-Magneto
-Mystique
-Pyro
-Juggernaut

-Dr. Kavita Rao
-Omega Red
-Gauntlet
-Multiple Man
-Stacy X (?)
-Steven Lang / Bolivar Trask (?)
-Leech
-Dr. Moira McTaggert

("?" = rumored character that their respective actors / actresses are playing)

Now, these are all the characters who are going to be more than a cameo. Maybe not neccesarily a major player, but are going to be more than a cameo. Character count: 23

Now let's look at X2:

-Xavier
-Cyclops
-Jean Grey
-Storm
-Wolverine
-Rogue
-Iceman
-Nightcrawler
-Pyro

-Magneto
-Mystique

-Col. William Stryker
-Jason / Mutant 143
-Senator Kelly
-President McKenna
-Lady Deathstrike

Character count: 15

Albiet that is about an 8 character difference, we have to look at some of the following details:

10 of the 23 characters for X-Men 3 that I listed are returning characters. The general audience knows these characters already. They've been introduced, their motives established, there's no real screen time needed to develop these characters, as they've been developed as is. There will be some growth to these characters of course, but the beef of their characters is already known.

Of the remaining 13 characters, there are about 6 of those who's roles we really don't know the size of. Granted, we don't know the size of any of the roles, really, but a lot of them we can get a good idea of. However, the roles of Kitty Pryde and Colossus may be nothing more than very small roles / glorified cameos. Yes, Colossus is getting a bigger role, but that could mean anything considering the size of his role in X2. Kitty Pryde may be nothing more than a homewrecker in this movie, which won't take much development.

Omega Red and Gauntlet may be glorified henchmen. Hopefully (at least in Red's case) they are around for more than just 1 fight scene as random mutants who happen to be named. But even if they are, they may be no more than what Sabretooth, Toad, or Lady Deathstrike were.

And Multiple Man and Stacy X may just be featured cameos. They may also need no true development to the overall plot.

Which is going to leave about 7 new characters that need to be developed.

Angel, Beast, and Juggernaut are going to need good development. They'll need a very good amount of screen time. Kavita Rao and Moira McTaggert may have roles no bigger than President McKenna for all we know. Bill Duke will probably be the Magneto of X-Men and William Stryker of X2 sized role. And Leech, only thing about him that needs to be addressed is his powers.

So that's about 3 or 4 new characters that are going to hog a lion's share of the "new character" screen time for development. That's not bad at all, especially considering that in X2, we easily had that with Nightcrawler, Pyro, and William Stryker getting that treatment.

[Sean Madrox]

Very well said Nell.

I think that we shouldn't judge a movie until we see it.

[XBoy]

For those of you that aren't familiar with Mortal Kombat Annihilation, it was the sequel to the video game movie Mortal Kombat which was a surprise hit. MKA tried to have it all, and failed horribly.

It was crammed to the brim with characters, there was no room for character development. The plot took a giant nosedive with pathetic plot devices and killing off great characters for terrible reasons. Sounding familiar?

I groan with each cast addition report on more mutants (If that model is Stacy X, WTF?!), and how important characters are looking to go out in a whimper (Especially Cyclops getting punked when he's essential to the whole storyline. Hell, even if he doesn't die he's apparently gotten the big shaft again. Where does he get sidetracked this time :down ). Mutant cure? Even if it's a cover for the legacy virus it's a lame plot device that rehashes "Bad man wants to get rid of mutants" from X2. They even have use a mutant to produce the "problem solving" agents they need AGAIN.

There you go Lightning. :)

Why would you want to waste your time getting yourself worked up over something that you have no PROOF about? That's where I'm coming from. It's childish to talk out of your neck and make claims about things like that when in all reality you have NOTHING to go on apart from rumours and what you THINK you know.

I can't wait for this movie to blow haters away so they can quit talking out of their necks like this. Anyone would think they work on the set!

There's been more than one cast picture, and to top it all off that's not what I'm forming my opinions on. My opinions form from set reports which are very comparable to AICN's script review. I honestly DO NOT want this movie to flop on it's face, I'm very concerned because this is easily my favorite comic book-movie franchise.

[Doomed_hero]

I have felt kinda the same way with some of the news. All these action scenes and character cameos have kinda help with my belief.

[Sean Madrox]

I think what you said was kind of redundent, you say that you hope it doesn't flop on its face, but you compare it to MKA.

If it is easily your favorite comic-book franchise then don't jump to conclusions, take everything 'spoiled' with a grain of salt. If you want to be a true fan to the franchise then patiently wait for the first trailer or wait for it to hit theaters.

Rehashing plot devices and killing off characters is a positive?

Where did I say that? I just said it's idiotic to compare MKA to X3. For obvious reasons. One, there are always going to be rehashed plot devices in a film franchise. That's how it works. Two, there are clearly going to be some new plot devices and characters. And yes, killing off characters can be a positive, if it's done well.

It's laughably bad, but if you're a fan of the first movie you should see it at least once, since in the end it does wrap everything up in a decent enough fasion, but the overall movie is garbage. It should have been handled better.

I think people like to take it to the extremes around the internet when dealing with movie quality...

I know horrible, terrible, awful movies when I see one, and MKA is near them, but not exactly one of them...Unlike some really bad movies I've seen, MKA had several redeeming factors that kept it somewhat mildly entertaining...

Hmmm...or maybe I just haven't seen it in a few years and forgot how bad it was.. :p

:(

[Radford]

But Mortal Kombat has no substance anyway. Annihilation is no different to the first Mortal Kombat film - weak characters and a story-line just there to set up multiple fights.

X-Men is about much more than just fighting.

Mortal Kombat has tons of backstory and a great mythology to it. It spans several races, and several realms, as well as 100's of years in time. Most people just dont know the jist of it, and assume its just a bunch of ninjas ripping limbs apart.

But yeah, seriously, it has a huge mythos to it. Dont discount it like that.

[Downhere]

Finally I was welcomed lol, I been reading for a while, but never posted.

Dude, I hear that. I basically have read the boards ever since X-Men. lol. So it was many years ago. Finally decided to become part of the community here...been posting like crazy the last couple of weeks.

...about the movie being compared to MK...good grief...X3 is gonna be awesome people...stop the negativity.

Its not negativity. Just a legitmate concern and opinion.

[Downhere]

I understand the concern but to start comparing it to movies like MK...I mean, geesh that's a little drastic I think. For me I see the X-trilogy mirroring Starwars OT. So you'd have X-Men compared to A New Hope, then X2 to Empire...and X3 to Jedi. Since Jedi was good but not as good as Empire, I could see X3 going that way. Being good but not as good as X2. But then again...it could very well be better than X2. So we'll have to wait and see.

And thats your opinion to compare it to a certain movie. No need to call it negative because he is concerned that it is sounding like MK to him. I used to get the same **** on the Superman boards just cause I thought some of the things I was hearing were weak. I wasn't being negative...just concerned.

[SingItWithMeNow]

Man,..I feel like watching MKA right now..

Well, at least all of the good part(s)... :p

I feel like watching back to the future for some reason/??

I'm not comparing these movies as equals. The X-Men film franchise is far better and I stand by that. Regardless of how these movies are in "different leagues" the same mistakes made in MKA could easily happen in such greater movies like X-Men 3 and spoil it, which is what I'm noticing and am concerned about.

Batman & Robin

Ugh, lets not even mention that star studded dulness! That movie was like watching a fly about to hit a windshield in slow motion.

[PikaZeroX]

This thread made seven months ago, I feel like I was right, even when I tried to have hope.

[Kurosawa]

For those of you that aren't familiar with Mortal Kombat Annihilation, it was the sequel to the video game movie Mortal Kombat which was a surprise hit. MKA tried to have it all, and failed horribly.

It was crammed to the brim with characters, there was no room for character development. The plot took a giant nosedive with pathetic plot devices and killing off great characters for terrible reasons. Sounding familiar?

I groan with each cast addition report on more mutants (If that model is Stacy X, WTF?!), and how important characters are looking to go out in a whimper (Especially Cyclops getting punked when he's essential to the whole storyline. Hell, even if he doesn't die he's apparently gotten the big shaft again. Where does he get sidetracked this time :down ). Mutant cure? Even if it's a cover for the legacy virus it's a lame plot device that rehashes "Bad man wants to get rid of mutants" from X2. They even have use a mutant to produce the "problem solving" agents they need AGAIN.

There you go Lightning. :)


I wouldn't insult Mortal Kombat Annihilation by comparing it with X3.

[PikaZeroX]

I also just saw that Psylocke thread which was deleted..

Honestly, do we really need more pitiful losses just to have a bodycount? Character with huge future movie potential just flushed down the drain? Exactly like Mortal Kombat Annihilation.

[Spidey 2007]

guys PALEEEAAASE..... youve got to be kidding me right? theres people living in denial about wanting this film to be better... but i think its just pathetic how you people hate on it so much before you even ****ing see it... its worse then living in denial, imo.

[xwolverine2]

this thread shouldve been deleted a LONG TIME AGO!

Well, I wouldn't insult X3 by comparing it to Mortal Kombat Annihilation

theres no comparison, it doesnt make sense to compare the 2, youd have to have such a small ammount of sense to think they would be anything alike.

Funny coincidence, I predicted the same thing a few months ago when Ratner kept adding charters upon characters to this film. I made the exact same analogy.
But if you look at a film like LOTR, they have just as many characters. The difference between MKA and LOTR, is that while in MKA, the charaters were literally going down a hall, room to room, fighting a different character. LOTR added some complexity, story arcs, and major development. The reason they were able to do this was simply because they had a longer film. I'm still optimistic, but the whole Church scene in the preview where Magneto watches Callisto and Quills show their powers seemed way to forced. It was sorta like "How are we going to introduce these guys?" "Let's just have Magneto ask them..."

I can't belive that people are comparing MKA with X3. MKA had such a stupid plot and the acting was terrible , x-men haves a great plot and the actors are also great.

[LostSon88]

Not everyone...just some overreacting aintitcool reject.

oh god, dont trust aicn.

I might feel that way if this was the FIRST movie that was released from the franchise, but this is the THIRD. There has been plenty of character development. And since we have pretty much been told that there will not be a fourth, we do not need to see more development from minor characters.

I also do not share your opinion....

[Strgts]

And since we have pretty much been told that there will not be a fourth

There will not be a fourth MY ASS. As long as this Movie makes Money there WILL BE A FOURTH

[Psionic Force]

There will not be a fourth MY ASS. As long as this Movie makes Money there WILL BE A FOURTH

Until I see it officially mentioned that there will be a forth, then I will believe it. But until then, with all the cast members pretty much saying this is the last one, I tend to believe otherwise.

To each his own ...

[PikaZeroX]

Of course this is the last one, they're running it into the ground.

oh yeah!! me too I find X3 looks like MK annihilation !!! they are both sucks movie

I would say : learn to read and/or to think

there 's a big difference with what some has said here.

not really maze old boy, most people would stand up, but you seem to except alot of things. besides people are talking about killling fox execs in the cyclops forum, and other unspeakable things. It makes me wonder what else they would like to "kill" for dumb reasons......

[xwolverine2]

well....im sorry this thread is so annoying!...

then theres people that say the final abttle is "reminisent" to MKs final battle
WITHOUT EVEN SEEING IT!

please Maze theres no defending the comment he made....

How is it headed in the same direction? MKA was horrible to begin with. Only two actors from the original came back. The cast wasn't all that great. The special effects sucked. The plot didn't make any sense.

Its time i step in, presenting X-3 meets mortal combat Annilation PART 1:

Opening SCENE:Ruins of the golden gate bridge

The x-team is surrounded buy numerous evil mutants, as they are scattered about the destoyed bridge. The evil mutant emperor lord Magneto has his forces ready to destroy mankind. Cyclops fights of some mutants, and sees Magneto laughing evilly ontop a pillar. He ISsurrounded buy his main guys Jugs,Pyro, and Mystique. Xavier comes hovering up on his new hover chair, with the other memebers of the X-men. Cyclops greets them, but the moment is broken by magnetos evil voice.

"TELL ME CHARLES, DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN WIN?" Magneto arrogantly asks.

"THIS IS WRONG ERIC, YOU HAVE BrOKEN THE RULES!" Xaviers yells.

Cyclops then bravely leaps at Magneto, but Mags hits him with a metal plate. Mags then picks up the weak Cyclops, and grabs him buy the neck.

"If you want to save one of you prescious X-men, then bow your head before me Charles." Mags says

The other X-men look at Xavier, and Xavier hover up to Magneto in shame.

"As you wish eric." Xavier says as he bows is head.

"SUCKER!" Mags yells out.

Mags breaks Scotts neck, and then laughs.

"NO!" Xavier yells out.

The other X-men yell in anger as well.

"IT HAS BEGUN!" Magneto states.

They completely left out Scott its ridiculous!!

They could edit the X3 trailers together and play them backwards and still end up with a better movie than MK:A.
I can tell you with no hyperbole that MK:A was one of the worst movie I have ever seen.

i think it falls under the worst sequels catagory too!

[RagingTempest]

False. MKA was directed by someone else, Paul Anderson directed the first which was a GOOD movie. AVP sucked hard though.

It's obvious X3 and MKA are different movies, but they're going down the same road. X-Men 3 is under an even tighter schedule than MKA was, don't expect anything as awesome as X2.

:confused: Have you read the reviews? It has already been stated that X3 isn't as good as X2 but it is still a pretty good movie!!!

[The Dark Defender]

If it's not as good as X2, it'd have to be a blank screen...no, wait, that'd still be better.

Not really.

[FieryBalrog]

I'll say it: they butchered the Dark Phoenix saga. It is, at the very least, commonly held to be among the top 2 or 3 arcs of the X-men comics ever. And what does it get? A subplot in a 95 minute movie between a Zombie Mute Jean and Wolverine.

[Sentinel X]

Not really.YES REALLY!!!YOUR BEING A TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad:


Now,please stop :)

[X-Maniac]

The trouble with Kurosawa is that he/she/it tends to make negative posts ripping things apart...only appearing when there is already a massive uproar over something (like Cyclops)... If this person contributed in other threads, about other characters or the X-Men in general, they'd appear a lot less trollish...

[Rac]

Reasons:
-Only two original cast members returned, the new castings are very bad.
-Atrocious story that makes little sense
-Johnny Cage, the most likeable character from the first movie, gets offed in the first 5 minutes.
-Raiden was very out of character, terrible continuity.
-Shao Khan is NOT related to Shinnok or Raiden. He's not a bald guy with fat arms either, should've left the awesome helmet on.
-Fan favorite characters show up out of nowhere, get in a fight and die or completely disappear off the face of the earth.
-Power Rangers esque fightingHehe, X3 certainly seems to have similarities like that.

- Well, I would'v liked to have Nightcrawler back and some baddies are miscast.
- The story of X3 sounds messy. They should'v just stick to Dark Phoenix.
- Cyclops.
- Dunno about this. Wolverine? Storm?
- Juggernaut is not related to Xavier
- Jepp. It looks like that's gonna happen.
- God I hope not.

The only characters that have much to talk about are Wolverine (who I hate) and Storm, who I like okay but she's been given Scott's parent/child relationship with Xavier. All the other characters are either cameos or are in small supporting roles.

[Kurosawa]

RINB blindly supported the FF movie and the way they butchered Dr. Doom in it.
