You didn't have to be a fan of the comics in order to not be confused with her gender...

-TNC

She looked like a man.

Really, let it go. I wasn't trying to be funny with a bunch of strangers from the internet.
 
The soundtrack didn't impress me all that much, but I LOVED the Phoenix "theme" that they had.

But my favorite "little thing" was Jean's voice actually changing during the climax when she was Dark Phoenix.
 
I thought Jean looked disgusting when she was turning to Phoenix. I would have liked it better if they had just used a bit of flame in her eyes and some red "aura" around her instead.

The scene in her house reminded me of a horror, Exorcist-type movie.
 
My favorite "little things" in the movie, more of them are character moments as opposed to easter eggs:

1] Quill's kill of Rao - been mentioned before but absolutely one of those small moments that increased my enjoyment of the movie by a factor. Love how he was hushing her... "It's going to be allright, it's going to be allright"

2] When Pyro and Mags board the convoy with Mystique and they go down the list of the other prisoners --- there's a total easy-going vibe going on between Mystique and the rest [which heightens Mystique's abandonment by Magneto moments later and really adds to the fact that these aren't villains per se]. Anyone else notice this?

3] The half-second shot of Pyro's incredulous face when Magneto says to Mystqiue "You are no longer one of us."

4] A newly depowered (and Brotherhood-dismissed) Raven curling up on the floor of the truck like a potato bug. Absolutely heart-breaking the look on her face. Heart-breaking.

5] Herman Glob's (he looks awesome even if it is for half a second before he gets depowered - can't wait for the DVD to freeze that frame) cameo and the Stepford Cuckoos appearance in the background at Xavier's. Nice to see a shout out to Morrison's New X-Men.

6] The fact that they used a lot of the same background actors for the kids at Xavier's - nice intra-trilogy continuity nod. See Jubilee, the black girl with the afro, Siryn, etc.

7] The way Callisto said "metal" when she addresses Mags "I know you control met'al". Nice to see a little Puerto Rican mutant flavor.

8] The fact that the actress they cast for Jean Grey's mom looks like she could have been Famke's mom. Brilliant bit of small casting there.

9] Eric Dane as Multiple Man. His easy-going "yeah why not?/yeah you got me?" portrayal of the character - (all two scenes of him) was right on.

10] The shot of Raven on the monitor spilling the beans about Magneto's lair. It looked like she was really getting into it, leaning into the desk, gesticulating, you know? Very funny for me. I can totally see her being like "It has twelve bathrooms, eight men's, four women's, but the women's never has any toilet paper..."
 
My favorite line of the movie was easily when Magneto was walking away from Mystique as a human

"It's a shame, she used to be so beautiful."

I don't know why, but that is my favorite line of any of the movies, and while some complain that Kinberg and Penn had way too punchy dialogue, it's lines like this that make me feel that they could make an even better film next time (if there is a next one).

How the cars in the bridge turned out to be useful for Magneto lol.
I wonder if that family was still in the car lol
 
yes, i also like the extermination part pf his speech
"nobody ever talks about it they just DO it "!
 
When Callisto asked Maggie where his tats were if he was a mutant...Mags shows his Holocaust tat and says how he'll never be tatted again.

The best scene in the movie was when the morlocks asked magneto why he didnt have a tattoo and he showed them his concentration camp tattoo...
very powerful scene. i really loved that :up:
 
1. Beast hanging upside down reading.

2. Iceman "icing" up.

3. The Danger Room scene with the Sentinel (though I would have liked to have seen more)

4. The Fastball special (but once would have been enough)

5. Juggs tossing wolverine like a rag doll, but wolverine just getting back up for more

6. Magneto telling Pyro to respect Xavier

I love what you've done with your hair...you too :P
People actually giggled when that dialogue exchange took place. Halle's wiggish hair to realish hair :P
Halle's quivering voice during the eulogy.

Tyra Banks: "It's because she's FIERCE!!!"
 
I don't think anybody's mentioned this but I loved R. Lee Ermy's voice-over as the soldiers were trading in their M-16s for the plastic weapons.
:up:

My bad, you're totally right. Still, was nice to see (her and Arclight) a Latina in the X-movies.
 
I like the psychic scream Xavier blasted through the mansion when he sensed Jean.I also liked the girl who was transcribing the notes in Xaviers class with her powers.I loved when Beast roared before the battle.I also love how telepathy was portrayed in this movie.Arclight's blasts were realy cool.And the way everything just froze right before Jean blew X up.
 
thi is just something i noticed when wolverine shows phoenix scotss glasses it focuses on his hands and he has a small mark like a tiny cut, obviously hugh jackman's u wod think they wod get rid of lil things like that as he is suposed to have a heeling factor
 
also did anyone notice that the girl mystique was immitating looked like one crying at the mansion wen x died
 
W/ stan lee's cameo, you could see a buncha people in the theatre point at the screen extremely quickly. It was great, hah.

Seeing Wolverine's metal. Magneto moving the chess piece, Charles smiling before geting destroyed, I liked how Jean's face and eyes turned black whenever she is about to go all insane and I loved the scene with Wolverine fighting that guy who's arms were growing back.

I liked how Jean's eye's turned black as well, but in hindsight, it's odd that they didn't ever do the fire eye effect we saw in the last movie. Last time we saw her, she had psychic fire all over her and then she was buried under the water

Yes!!!! That was brilliant. I was the only one among my friends who noticed as well :)
I liked seeing the Adamantium skeleton too.
