Exactly why Im excited for Bryan to be back. The X2 Colossus steel-up looked and sounded better than ANY special effect in X3 and Origins. I could go on and on about the cheap t-1000 colossus effect in X3, but I won't.

The X2 Colossus scene is defiantly among the best, and Im looking forward to more stand out character moments in DOFP!

Giving Colossus a second chance would be great. I don't think Daniel Cudmore can really act so I wouldn't mind a recast even though it would be very noticeable (well at least for me). I definitely want to see Colossus to have some character development and story. In X3, he was just there.

Though I never quite get it, is Psylocke supposed to be Asian or British Caucasian ??


In some comics art, she looks Asian. Some drawings, she looks White.

And what's with the purple hair?? Is her natural hair colour supposed to be purple??

I have always thought her having purple hair is to match her dark blue outfit. It's a nice contrast.

I think they should save Psylocke for another movie, like X-Men 4 and they should retcon the Psylocke character that we saw in X3. The cast of DOFP is already huge and I feel like they won't have a chance to properly introduce Psylocke and the original cast might just steal her thunder.

and it LOOKED like it too. It was an obvious mask and it angered me because of that.

After X2 I was really excited about how Colossus would look in X3. Then he ends up looking a whole lot worse

[Mako]

X2's Colossus was phenomenal, they obviously went with cheaper route for X3 and it showed.

Yep, I had this vision of X3 of a scene just before trouble hits with Beast, Nightcrawler, Iceman & Colossus chilling out. The minute trouble arrives, Nightcrawler bamfs, a CGI Beast looks around & Iceman & Colossus ice up/metal up on either side. Apart from Nightcrawler (who was absent) they didn't really achieve any of those aesthetics (although KG was awesome as Beast regardless) as I wanted in X3.

[Angamb]

yeah, something like that would give chills to the fans on the theatre

these directors dont seem to find that appealing it seems

[Mako]

I wonder if Bryan will be reworking the Beast make-up or going the Visual Effects route?

as long as he doesn't look like elvis/cookiemonster/kitty beast like in X:FC

They are probably sticking with make-up just like with Mystique.

I had no problem with XMFC Beast. He was supposed to look slightly odd, he was a young Beast.

[gkokujin]

i had a problem with a skinny hand-feet beast.

Part of Hanks identity is his HUGE SIZE.

Yeah the "just-feet" thing wasn't good enough. The ONLY purpose it served is to have the Xavier outing him by accident scene. Should have been more "mutant" looking...maybe have the Man in Black or whatever..already know about mutants because of Hank. But...whatevaaaa

Although Nicholas Hoult is a decent actor, and he was good in the film, it would have helped if they had stuck with the original casting of Benjamin Walker as he has more of the stocky build of the character. But Rothman vetoed the casting, believing he was too old to be Beast. Go figure!

Same here. The only thing that I didn't care for was when he does that silly smile while flying the Blackbird.

[Angamb]

yeah, I saw the movie two days ago again, and didnt like that part either. He didnt look good smiling, lol

You guys didn't cringe at the Beast make-up reveal at the beginning?

[marvelrobbins]

The beast will probally be the cat like beast.Now they may do makeup better this time
around but with Matthew Vaughn as producer and co-writer Bryan Singer may want It to
be somewhat consent with first Class.

I was a bit disappointed at first but got used to it.

[Great Mind(s)]

I think if I were Hank and just turned into a blue furry monster I wouldn't be just like "aww shucks look at me" as he did when he walked into frame. I would have liked to have seen someone find him hiding in the shadows of his lab or something.

[EnDz0n3]

With that shoddy make-up job, I'd put Hank in the shadows every chance I get too!

I kid, I kid.

No. It was the first leap of his secondary mutation- it's not going to be all butch.

It was cheesey but it wasn't that bad.

[Mrs Vimes]

I had no problem with the make-up, I just didn't like the way it made Beast's face so immobile, like he's had a dozen plastic surgeries.

I'm a bit torn on whether they should use more CGI animation for Beast though, because no matter how good it's become in the past few years it still looks fake when they use it for people/creatures.

I too would love Benjamin to be Beast. I remember too that he was dropped. I think Nic would have been great as Cyclop.
