He was great in The Notebook.

IMO, I think that Marsden's acting at the end of X-2 was amazing and actually almost bringing me to tears. But Marsden's lack of being vocal, I think, has little to do with his deatomizing in X-3. Marsden is the only one of the cast also to be in WB's Superman Returns, a film which leaves a bad taste in Fox's mouth because they lost Singer to that project. I'd like to believe that animosity has little to do with making films but we all know that's not always true. Fox probably sees Marsden as another Judas; and it has been mentioned that Marsden an the lead execs at Fox have gotten into arguments over this. I hate to say this but this may be another case of studio politics, trying to teach a lesson to Marsden for not boycotting Superman. Marsden may a martyr for Fox.

Marsden's lip tremble in the White House scene is what got me choked up.

X3 was supposed to be Scott's movie. It's not that Marsden's in Superman for WB it's that he's in SINGER'S Superman.

He was great in The Notebook.

Listening to people coming out of the theater was interesting. They couldn't understand why Allie chose Noah over Lon.

Actually I prefer Marsden playing bad boys like he did in Bella Mafia and Gossip. I like characters that have an edge (like Wolverine) although I also like Scott Summers good guy. I totally agree with Jean ---- flirt with the dangerous guy but marry the good guy.

Thank you Jan Iris for making that comment, Marsden is just too young to play Cyclops. They should have gotten someone more the age of Halle or Jackman to play Cyclops. Marsden has the boyish look that does not go with Cyclops unless they were going for a X-men Evolution Cyclops. Since we are stuck with him, I think its better that Storm leads plus we saw Storm begin to show leadership quality in X2 which is a set up for the third movie. That said, I still think that they should keep him alive for the Phoenix Saga storyline and show his relationship with Jean.

Not Storm... DEFINITELY NOT THE MOVIE STORM. Storm had her chance to lead in X2 during the plane scene and you could tell how weak and indecisive she was. At least Cyke had the chance to lead in X1 and he pulled it off. The reason he didn't appear as a leader in X2 was because of the lack of film time. I don't care how young James Marsden looks but I don't think it hurts the movie. He looks fine to me.

 

[GNR]

I want to see Scott be a leader as he somewhat was in X1.By the way,X1 really grew on me,I find myself admiring it more than X2 recently.

 

[Timstuff]

Cyke is one of my favorite characters. I hope they really let him shine in X3.

 

[Sparta*]

Cyclops is awesome and he deserves a bigger role. The Jean Scott relationship was always huge in the comics, but in the movies it seems like Jean Logan and Scott on the side. Pretty rough for one of the best leaders and tactictionists of the marvel universe.

If they wanted their petty little revenge on Marsden, then they should have recast Cyclops and then made the character impressive. Then he'd be remembered as the sucky Cyclops. Instead they punish the character for the actors decisions.

And that's why I absolutely will boycott X-3.

 

[aaron]

yeah, hes a very good actor. at the end of x2 when theyre in the white house, and prof. x says how loved ones have been lost and scott, you can see his jaw trembling, it made me tingle. one of the those moments. made me think so much more of james marsden as an actor from then on.

 

[Retroman]

I hope they don't kill Cyclops.

 

[aaron]

they wont

 

[chamber-music]

I don't think marsden's a bad actor he just hasn't been given much to work with. They give him some good action sequences, screen time, dialogue and storylines he could steal the movie, except directors and writers seem more concerned with making wolverine look cool. They should chill his getting his own movie let him take a backseat in this one and let Cykes, Storm, Jean and Iceman shine as their the characters in need of the most characterization.

 

[aaron]

yeah wolverines taking more of a backseat in this one, but only for storm to take advantage of

 

[Electrix]

yeah wolverines taking more of a backseat in this one, but only for storm to take advantage of

We dont know anything. Dont rely on that script.

 

[aaron]

it says hes gotta a smaller role in both script reviews, and makes sense since he was the main focus in the previous 2 movies.

 

[duo_gabo]

i just wish Cyclops could get a bigger role other than what they did in x1 and x2...especialy if Phoenix is included i bet cyclops will have a stronger and more dynamic role..

 

[aaron]

hopefully, it would make sense

but his role could be even smaller than the other 2 due to his work on superman returns

 

[duo_gabo]

alas, because of that he will be put to minimum use again.. even if they'll stick with the phoenix story...

 

[TNC9852002]

C'mon,..what's wrong with you?...Think positive!..

-TNC

 

[aaron]

if the new script reviews true, well.....

 

[Ions]

I like Cyclops. And with no Gambit, hes my fav character in the films thus far. I hope he gets some attention.

 

[aaron]

yeah, cyclops has been my fav character in the 2 movies

for me, because i very much like james marsden and his acting.

 

[Darthkush]

Cyclops is my favorite character. He showed potential at the end of X2 and I want to see that continue in this one. He had BETTER NOT BE KILLED.

 

[duo_gabo]

I want to see more drama with the whole "jean-died-and-now-she-is the-phoenix-and-tried-to-kill-me-with-her-overwhelming-power".. the whole emotional breakdown of cyclops...

 

[Hugh'sMrs]

yeah, hes a very good actor. at the end of x2 when theyre in the white house, and prof. x says how loved ones have been lost and scott, you can see his jaw trembling, it made me tingle. one of the those moments. made me think so much more of james marsden as an actor from then on.

That's the scene I was talking about. His reaction was so subtle and that's what made it so good. Singer has said that Marsden can do more with the lower half of his face than most actors can do with their whole bodies.
