So, it is my official stance that Gambit was in the film, as an annonymous minion in the Brotherhood, and that was him.

I suspect the EXACT same thing.

That is our Gambit cameo, plus it seems movie version of Gambit has vanishing powers as well...

I seriously hope we find out what happened with that guy???

Lol, that review made me laugh-

First, I saw this movie for free at the midnight showing (throwing out free stuff for my job) and felt like I should have gotten my money back. The movie was that bad

Here's mine, in case anyone cares at all. It's rather short and to the point.

He wasn't originally a mutant, but he is a mutant in some of the later comics. The movies never specified him as not being a mutant, so there shouldn't be any confusion there. I don't think anyone could argue saying that it would've been rather difficult to explain Juggernaut's original comic history in a movie where he's not even an important part of the story.

-TNC

no, hes not and never has been a mutant in the comics unless you mean the Ultimate universe.

I've started brainstorming ideas for my take on what I would've liked to have seen in 'X3'. I'm in the process of plotting and researching the story and characters as well. I'll probably have an idea for the basics and which characters I'd like to use by next weekend... if anyone is at all interested.

Problem?

TIME!

Thanks Matt. I like yours a lot if they couldn't use Mardsen more, but I figure they could if they could get McKellan in it and he was also filming The Da Vinci Code, which he is in A LOT MORE than what Mardsesn will be in SR I believe. I think the studio just wanted to say F U to Bryan Singer.

I also would have added more scenes with Logan and Rogue, had Jean acting like a little girl when they get to her house and we get into her psyche there and understand she is an undeveloped child (Pheonex) throwing a tantrem (more interesting than pure evil) at her father (Xavier) and taken out Angel and....

Let's just say I would have polished the diologue and this script for free. But oh well, we'll never know. Thanks though Matt and I think we agree it would've been better if she could just tear Logan apart (but he can't die) but when Scott comes she can't harm him. It would've driven the point home to the audience and then him killing her would have been more powerful.

But that would also require them to have a scene or two more and that would mean "talking," just as Logan and Rogue and the love triangle (Rogue/Bobby/Kitty) and betrayal (Magneto/Xavier) needed.

Yet I would have settled by just reintroducing Scott and having him bring Jean back a few times and kill her. It still wouldn't be a very good movie, but at least it would have captured the spirit of the story much better.

The time issue is a very big one and one that can go either way.

Problem One: The movie was too short to be able to make full use of all of the characters, ideas, and set pieces that it introduced in the film. Everything felt barely touched upon. Not exactly the way to responsibly conclude a sucessful trilogy that has a horde of fans that are deeply invested in the material.

Problem Two: For a movie that clocks in at 104 minutes (1 hour and 44 minutes) it feels longer than some of the Lord of the Rings movies. I mean, this thing seriously dragged most of the time. The film never really felt comfortable with itself until it reached the big battle at the climax of the film. Even then it was still an uneven and poorly paced film. The director, editor, and writers are deeply at fault for this one.

The movie should've been at least two hours long and the filmmakers should've put more time into making sure that the film had a rhythm that would make sure the film never dragged.

I agree with everything you said, except #2. If you blame anyone, blame Fox, not Ratner.

Nice opinion though.

Say, would anyone actually have prefered that Magneto recruits a new small group for the Brotherhood like in the first movie, instead of having 100 random Mutants that were basically cannonfodder?

You'd only need a handful of mutants to really wreck havoc. I'd have him recruit Juggernaut (as he already did), add Gambit, Avalanche, bring Sabretooth back and of course Pyro. And maybe even Quicksilver.

Would make more sense. Someone said (Kitty?) "but there is only 6 of us" - well I think that line is in cause they wanted to say that before the viewer has a chance to go WTF. That problem was left open in the mess that was the climax.

Quicksilver should have been in the first one as a mentioned past of magneto or something and then two we find out it is his son, Eric meets him or the son comes to the father. Then we get him in three as a brother hood member. The Brother hood in this movie was crap.

Juggernaught vs Kitty pride???!!! What the hell!

Storm vs (unesentual woman)???!!! What the hell!

Wolverine not cyclops vs Jean???!!!! What the hell!

I smell Mortal kombat annihilation all over again!!!!

not as bad but as ridiculous in general.

It's true that you could connect the dots of pacing issues all the way back to the execs at Fox (Rothman and co.) but it's still within the talents and abilities of a filmmaker to at least give the film a sense of rhythm and pacing, even horrible movies tend to at least be somewhat competent in that area. I probably could've left the movie with at least some semblance of sympathy for Ratner had the editing of the film turned out better. It seemed like a strand of clips rather than a movie.

The girl that appears out of the wall.

I have a problem and is that Wolverine injected his claws on Jean like he did to Mystique and yet she lived but Jean died and she is much more powerful then Mystique.

I hate how a lot of the scenes were in one location and all of the right characters just show up (i.e an empty room - then Logan is coming from the hall and, how convenient, Storm is going down the stairs -and look here's Hank! Some one liners are thrown into the air -and cut! Next location, next characters.
Watching x-2 today made me aware of little things like how a scene can take place in two locations like Bobby and Rogue in the living room, door bell rings, the scene goes on by the front door.)
