I know it was such a fantastic, dramatic scene (by far the best in the movie) until that effect and the look on Xavier's face, don't get me started on that.

Is Apocalypse going to be in this? When I think of the X-Men going back in time to prevent a major incident, I think of Apocalypse.

Does anyone watch the last stand these days? I haven't seen it in ages...

[Snikt]

I watched it the other day actually. Still enjoy it. I enjoy all the X-Men movies

I just watched all of the X-Men movies last month

Probably no. Sentinels, time travel, cast of Original trilogy & First Class in 1 movie and Apocalypse would be too much.

[DarknessOfDeath]

I think I might watch X3...for Jean

[Great Mind(s)]

I made an extended X3...thats pretty better!

[DarknessOfDeath]

you made an extended version??

[Great Mind(s)]

Well...I put all the deleted/alternate scenes back into the movie...its better I think. More Jean...little more Beast, Kitty and Iceman... a few Wolverine scenes are different and he acts more, Wolverine-y.

[Mad Ones]

The deleted scene where Jean watches the scared little girl on the bridge would have added more depth to the movie, even if just a little a bit.

I watched the Last Stand and Spiderman 3 in the same night a while ago to see which one was worse haha. It was an entertaining and frustrating night.

Yeah, I put that back in ha. There's also one where Magneto orders Jean to kill the soldiers with cure guns but she says "You sound like him again"

[DarknessOfDeath]

I wanna see an extended cut... lol

[psylockolussus]

Are any of the deleted scenes can make X3 better? There were some nice deleted scenes like Storm making a water wave, Iceman/Colossus teaming up to kill Phat and Rogue's alternate ending. But if you included all those deleted scenes (except for the alternate versions) the quality of the movie is still the same. I wish they filmed that scene that was on the animated clip section of X3's DVD where Angel arrived on X-Mansion.

Spider-Man 3 is better by an inch. Though the ending of X3 was way better than the ending of SM3.

[Mad Ones]

I would have to agree with you.

[Hawkingbird]

I think if you put all the good scenes from X3 together with a bunch of improved scenes, you'd have an amazing movie.

[Shpati]

The Last Stand would not have been as bad if they just did not change with the appearance and presentation themes (color filters, music, sound effects).

[def28]

Music was better in X3...all script problems with that film imo.

I didn't even watch it at the cinema, caught it on TV one night and was rather happy at not spending my money. It really made me appreciate the intelligence and sensitivity of the main series; Origins just felt like watching a generic dumb macho action flick.

Yeah, aside from some solid casting its really bad. I dont know what anyone was thinking. I left that theatre pretty angry and disappointed.

The X-Men franchise has become a pillar of 20th Century Fox's movie slate, pulling in a robust $1.8 billion worldwide and bringing Jackman a reported $20 million for The Wolverine (his second spinoff as that character), which wrapped in late 2012. He is not committed to any more outings in the series following Days of Future Past.

Even that film came out of the blue.

"I first heard about it around October or November [2012]," he notes. "I was literally finishing The Wolverine and dreaming about lasagna, and about three weeks before the end, they told me." The role was large and reunited him with many of the original cast. "There was no way I was not going to be part of that." He says he still has not read a finished screenplay, however, and has seen only a synopsis of about eight pages.

So Wolverine is the time-traveler?

[Mr.M]

Doesn't mean that. I doubt Wolverine ends up going back in time. If so, what the hell? Maybe both he and Kitty go back. Then I wonder who anchors the future? Ice Man and Rogue? Seems like you need a heavy hitter in there.

[BatsDC]

I reckon both Wolvie and Kitty will go back in time, but they'll give Wolvie some time in the future timeline to tear Sentinels up. I imagine Magneto could easily handle the heavy hitting in the future timeline once he's gone.
