Female audience impressions as opposed to males?

[jignat]

Im curious for all the ladies there, since X3 was purported to be the most "emotional", did you feel you were affected more than the guys in the theatre? or was it the same?

 

[CapBeerCino]

I didn't find the movie "emotional" at all.

 

[Cyclops]

But Wolverine cried like a baby twice! That's emotional, right?

Sorry, I'm still peeved that they did that to Wolverine, a guy who would never cry. Ever.

 

[imaperson2]

thats because you didnt like the movie cap.

 

[StorminNorman]

I thought this film was more emotional than the others (Prof X final moments scene, Beast looking at normal hand, Magnito alone playing chess) - but I am a guy so my opinion is not important in this thread

 

[sirius14sho]

yeah, I thought it was emotional too, like when Mags left Mystique, and when Jean realized that she'd killed scott...amoungst others

 

[Supreme Power]

A girl I was with that had saw X1 and X2 was crying after Xavier died.

It made me emotional... I think... rage is an emotion right?

My wife's questions to me:

Why was Rogue written off?
I can't believe what they did to Mistique?
I didn't understand the point of bringing Jean back?

And best of all:

See, we should've watched Da-Vinci code.

What the crap ever.

 

[Sketchee]

I didn't understand the point of bringing Jean back?

Seeing as she was shown alive as phoenix at the end of the last one, after whole last movie had her building up her powers and getting strong and stronger, she had to be back now.

 

[Jager X]

he meant that she's questioning the reason of bringing her back if she's to die again.

 

[Slim_X]

X3 is by far the most emotional of the 3. I almost cried when they cured Mystique and killed Xavier.

 

[tzarinna]

I'm pretty sappy but I didn't feel too sad about anything, pissed; yes, jovial; good god yes

 

[Chris M]

What the crap ever.

The thread is asking for opinion. Your immature comments aren't warranted.

That was my opinion of your opinion. Go watch Davinci again for all I care.

Welcome to the ignore list junior.

Take a seat, you're the first one here.

I couldn't agree more. And don't call me junior. I've been reading these boards since before you joined.

 

[CapBeerCino]

thats because you didnt like the movie cap.

That's because it's not emotional
(But really I cry at Disney's films yet this one didn't make me emo at all. It felt like all that's missing is a "cry now" sign. The emo was really forced in some points imo.)

I was bracing myself to cry my eyes out at the young Angel scene, but the online clip actually affected me more. They went too fast into the opening credits, and didn't leave the audience a chance to face the horror of what Warren was doing. Shame, since the clip itself hit me like a brick when I first saw it, akin to the dumbfounded shock I was in after I watched Brokeback Mountain. Yes, I saw Brokeback Mountain, and even hearing the score makes me tear up. I'm an emotional sucker. I showed the Angel clip to a female friend (a comic book fan), and she said she was gonna have nightmares about it.

I think as a female and being an emotional sucker, I wish they had brought out the themes more. Magneto being a Holocaust survivor and being dead-set against the cure, Rogue wanting to be able to touch people, the fight within Jean between her two personalities, Logan seeing himself lose Jean, and the sad poetic tragedy of Warren being an angel wanting to cut off his wings. Too bad the FX and the action had to get in the way, but at least it made the movie fun.

I also disliked the fact that they made Logan such a wuss in this one. I like sensitive men, but Logan's a guy who doesn't even realize he is sensitive, LOL.

Agreed. The Angel scene could've been so good, but it felt more like a horror scene.

And the sensitive Wolverine...

As a female I like to see an equal balance of X-men and X-women making up the team. I thought the women in the final team were weak!

I thought Jean and Storm showed their powers quite well (IMHO they were the most powerful mutants in the movie, along with Magneto), but they weren't used as well as they could have been. Jean just standing there watching the carnage until everything else is over? Stupid little Callisto being able to beat up Storm? Gimme a break. Storm is a freakin' goddess compared to movie Callisto (I dunno how she is in the comics). Most people would flee for their lives if a woman surrounded by strong winds and lightning bolts came down upon them.

 

[N_z0]

This should have been the most emotional of the three. Instead what we got were shortened scenes that should've made an emotional impact.

That said, there were some sniffles during Xavier's death, mostly when Wolverine and Storm were haunched over. But still not more teary eyes than Jean's sacrifice from X2 at Alkali Lake.

Jean wasn't part of the x-men. There was only Storm and Kitty in the end. Kitty can't realy DO anything and Storm, she was cool, but she still didn't provide the female input I wanted.
