Days of Future Past The Official Nicholas Hoult/Beast Thread

[craigdbfan]

But he didn't find her blue form hot, the part that she wanted to be proud of and that she wanted him to accept.

She was hot in both forms, I would have accepted her in a heartbeat.

 

[PWN3R]

I liked Beast's look, I just hope they fix some small things and make his mouth easier to emote. That shot of him doing a barrel roll with the x-jet was SICK. CGI?

Beast is going to be great in the sequels, can't wait to hear Hoult shouting out witty non-sense.

 

[craigdbfan]

They definitely used a bit of CGI to help the emoting in the mouth area.

Especially when he growls and chokes Magneto and the scream during the barrel roll in the X-Jet like you mentioned.

It looked pretty good. Not sure why they didn't do the same for when he was talking.

Maybe not enough time or money.

I loved the look though. I really liked Kelsey's humanoid Beast but seeing kitty/bear Beast was definitely awesome to see on screen and my favorite of the two.

 

[MadVillainy]

I loved Beast/Hoult. He was the man

 

[SuperSoldier985]

After seeing this movie a third time, Beast's makeup, I think, looks as good, if not, better in this movie than in X3 only because he kinda looked more like a comic incarnation than in X3, where, as others said, looked like a guy in blue.

I also liked Hoult's voice post-transformation. It's a bit more gravely, but he still sounded himself.

I think Hoult was amazing in this movie and his scene with Raven over the cure was incredible.

 

[craigdbfan]

The voice was digitally altered when he became Beast. That I found awesome.

It definitely added depth to the entire look.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I would have toned down the look a bit. With the sequel I think they'll improve upon it. I felt it restricted him a bit too much though. I loved Grammer's Beast look. I like this one, but if next time they can make it work more then I'm good.

 

[Silvermoth]

Nicholas Hoult, it goes without saying, is perfect in this. I really felt for him. What a great actor. My only complaint is I want him to say in the sequel "oh my stars and garters!"

 

[Superhero 101]

What did Magneto say to Beast that made Beast Choke Magneto?

 

[Deaths Head II]

What did Magneto say to Beast that made Beast Choke Magneto?

He said Beast "Never looked better." He was trying to support Beast like he did Mystique but Beast interpreted it as Magneto making fun of his appearance.

 

[ALP]

It was Beast's uncontrollable urge so I just suspected he was acting irrational and could have gone off no matter what Magneto said.

 

[craigdbfan]

I thought Havok was going to get choked out too when he named him Beast.

 

[ALP]

Is Beast gonna have to choke a b****!

 

[Matt Mortem]

Beast is tied with Magneto as my favorite part of FC. It also helps that Beast is my favorite Marvel character. I'm just so damn happy

 

[Marx]

I really enjoyed Beast in this one. I still prefer Kelsey Grammar's 'look' though.

 

[BMM]

I thought Hoult was great, though I would like it if they improved the make-up.

 

[Matt Mortem]

The make-up does need some improvement to allow for more emoting, but other than that I thought Beast was PERFECT

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Beast is tied with Magneto as my favorite part of FC. It also helps that Beast is my favorite Marvel character. I'm just so damn happy

Beast was never in my top ten, I liked him, but in this movie, damn I just loved him oh so much.

 

[Ultimatehero]

He was a freaking jerk with Raven.

I interpreted this as coming out of his own low self-esteem. He saw Raven as someone who finally got him, someone who didn't want to be a 'freak' either because society won't accept them. When she turned on him, he naturally felt betrayed and lashed back at her.

 

[Hellion]

I really enjoyed Beast in this one. I still prefer Kelsey Grammar's 'look' though.

I really enjoyed both, I can't decide, and won't......again, I'm happy we have to takes on film of the character t:

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Beast was my second favorite character, right behind Magneto. I don't know who this Hoult guy is, but he did a great job. I related to Hank more than any other of the X-Men.

 

[craigdbfan]

Both look like Beast and I'm grateful we've gotten both Humanoid and Kitty/Bear beast.

 

[Cheshire1996]

I thought he looked incredible, Hoult did an exceptional job. I have to agree with the reviews that say he's something of a semi-tragic character...but I guess that's what happens when you offend Mystique XD
But seriously, amazing performance, can't wait to see hmm in a possible sequel.

 

[bubbadoom]

I agree that X3 Beast was just Kelsey Grammar in blue paint. If it wasn't for the actor underneath the paint I doubt most people would be as kind towards that Beast's makeup job.

Kelsey Grammer's entire head from the neck up was covered in prosthetics, much more than just blue paint, from the looks just as much as this Beast was. At least KG's speaking was not restricted, something a few of you claim with this version, which I do not agree with. And I do not think there was any digital alterations to the mouth when he growled, he can open his mouth with appliances on.

 

[bubbadoom]

He looks like the Wolfman to me

Well, it was done by Dave Elsey who just got the make-up Oscar for THE WOLFMAN [along with Rick Baker] - and I am sure that's why they hired him [not because he won, but because he had worked on WM].
