Going to see this tonight at 7 :up:

I'll give a full review when I get home tonight. I'm hoping it lives up to the great reviews it is getting everywhere.
 
the biggest "whoa" moment for me was
Charles getting hit by that bullet, i knew he was going to be crippled but damn that caught me off guard, and Erik's reaction, really great acting.

I would say that was probably the single most powerful scene in the movie.
Especially when Magneto's trying to kill Moira and saying "You did this!" and then Charles comes around and says to him "No, you did this."
But I wouldn't call it a 'whoa!' moment. Those are action based, for me.
 
kedrell,

For me, the most powerful moment was Raven and Charles' last moments. It hit me incredibly deep because Raven still loves Charles' but Erik gives Raven what she needs at that moment...and Charles understood that.

That goodbye just killed me....
 
The most intense moment for me was when [blackout] the coin went through Seb's head. [/blackout]

If we're talking action scenes, mine would probably be Beast and Azazel fight scene, that majorly impressed me :woot:
 
Best action scene for me was [blackout]Magneto invasion[/blackout]... that was awesome! :D

That's a good one as well. I still prefer the moment between Charles & Erik prior to that, when Erik tells him they want the same thing and Charles tells him that they really don't.
 
I'll be seeing this in about an hour and a half. I'll give my full review later!
 
kedrell,

That was a good one too and kind of surprising because I just didn't think Erik would have that reaction to Xavier's injury when it happened. I didn't know how he would act but I wasn't expecting compassion in that moment from Erik.

Why not? Charles is the closest thing he's ever had to a friend, so far as we know. It really ties back into that scene at the dish where Charles gets him to remember a nice thought from his past that he'd forgotten.
 
About THE cameo:

I totally wasn't expecting to see Hugh jackman in there. Also his line was amazing. ''Go **** yourself''. What was the rating for this movie in the States? Did they get an R for that line alone? or was it PG13?
 
what I liked from that crippling scene was that he REALLY wanted to kill those humans, but after seeing Charles hurt ,it was an afterthought. very sad especially the whole" I need you to lead with me, you're my brother.."
 
kedrell,

True. But, considering where Erik was at that moment, I figured he'd just be as cold blooded as he had become in that moment.

Honestly, that whole sequence is great and it's capped off by two compassionate moments from Raven and Erik.

Frankly, just thinking about it makes me sad....
 
It's one of the best parts of the movie, sho'-nuff.
 
I think my biggest Woah moment was when...
The military just decided they might as well blow up the mutants while they had the chance, even though they'd just saved them
This scene made me think that Magneto probably is right afterall in some respects.

I like that Professor X's vision is still very underdeveloped in this film, especially with him not realising how upsetting to Mystique his views that she should always strive to appear "normal" are.
 
After seeing this and thinking that they did this they way the Anakin & Obi-Wan relationship should have been handled in the SW prequels, I do get the sense that this could have been even better if they hadn't rushed it. This would have been even more powerful maybe at the end of the next movie(giving even more time for Charles & Erik's relationship to grow and deepen). Oh well.
 
What more can be said by me that hasn't already been said about this movie.

This Movie was Awesome and I really hope it does well so they could make a sequel to continue the story.
 
Its a good sign that a movie is brilliant when its character moments are equally as "woah" as the action moments.
 
I love how Shaw is so similar to older Magneto.

Its like as much as Eric hates Shaw, he will inevitably become the same as his creator.
Yeah I don't think some people picked up on that they are basically the same. They have different ways of doing things but they both have the same aims.
Ohh. What 7 foot tall guy? When would that take place during the film?

I don't mind the exclusion of the romance subplot... But it almost felt forced when
Charles and Moira kissed at the end. Funnily enough, if they kept the subplot in, it would have made Moira's mindwipe the more meaningful for it.

Ah, I had forgotten about Havok's powers outside the mansion. It's a good thing that I wasn't looking for it while watching the film. But I wonder whom he was directing at. Does anybody know?

And for those who saw the behind the scenes featurette,
can anybody also remind me what Azazel and Riptide said to Angel in the war room? It's probably only time Riptide had lines.

With reference to that psychic battle that was supposed to have taken place between Charles and Emma, I'm assuming that would've been when
Emma was caught. It would've been nice if Charles had mused that he 'found another telepath - an equal', but considering how it happened, after interference during the first submarine scene, she seemed weak compared to him. Some reports indicated that she was stronger than him at the time.
I think Charles and Eriks battle with the 7 foot guy may of taken place when they were either recruiting mutants or when they were going after Emma Frost at the Russian Mansion

The kiss mindwipe reminded me of the old Sumperman movie mindwipe kiss between clark and lois

A single F-word is allowed in a PG-13 or 12A.
 
A sequel to this could be fantastic. I want some more of the X-Men in 60's goodness. Especially after reading Vaugh's awesome idea for Magneto controlling the 'magic bullet.' :wow:
 
Green Lantern, Cap America, Transformers 3 were the trailers I got.

I think in a PG13 you can have one use of that word.
 
Yeah, you can say "F" once, and only as long as it's a non-sexual connotation.
