I'm not suprised you don't remember me posting this. You also didn't remember my initial explanation for how Xavier had enough energy at the mansion to power Cerebro so I had to explain that to you a second time. Do you want me to tell it to you a third time or do you remember?
Yes I did. Laura Donner said the budget was set at 150million and Vaughn's departure destroyed weeks of prep time where lost. Some sets were most likely destroyed(Set of mutants breaking out of prison at Al-catraz) and millions of dollars lost. The budget didn't magically jump from 150 to 210million. What is so difficult about this to understand?
You are mistaken. I said that scene had some of the best effects of the trilogy. Not the best action. There's a difference. It's a shame the scene was too short like most of X3's action sequences that had good effects.
I stopped counting how many times you've decided to change your mind about agreeing to disagree on this subject. X3's action was lackluster to me because it was mindless.
I've reminded you of how idiotic it was for a wimpy mutant like quills to stand in front of Storm while she kicks his ass.
I've reminded you of how stupid it was for Magneto's right hand man(Pyro) to be absent from the battle at JEan's house.
I've reminded you of how idiotic it was for Arclight to stand in the way of Storm and not use her powers thereby letting Storm kick her ass.
I've told you multiple times how stupid it was for Juggernaut to throw wolverine into Jean's parents house twice after Magneto told him to keep him out.
I've told you multiple times how absurd it is for Wolverine not being able to get a single punch in considering how much more agile he is then Juggernaut.
I gave you a scientific analysis on how the velocity, force, and trajectory Juggernaut threw wolverine at made it imposslbe for Wolverine to immediately fall through a ceiling after he was thrown through one.
What in the hell were Quills and Arclight doing outside the house while Storm, Callisto, Juggernaut, and Wolverine were fighting inside? Did Alclight and Quills serve any real purpose in that scene at Jeans parents house besides being there to get their asses kicked?
Did Wolverine serve much more of a purpose in that scene at Jean's parents house besides being there to get his ass kicked by Juggernaut?
I've reminded you of how bizzare it was for the brotherhood and the X-Men to arrive at Jean's house at exactly the same time. Since Callisto could track other mutants(All of the X-Men) why not try and go to Jean's house before the X-Men got their.
I've reminded you of how Magneto's decision to let Wolverine live after he discovered their camp was beyond moronic.
I've reminded you of how Magneto's decision to raise the bridge to take his army over to Al-catraz was stupid when he could have destroyed the facility all by himself and saved his army.
I've reminded you of how Magneto's plan still doesn't make sense:
Magneto's plan: Build up an army of 100 mutants so he could waste it on trying to take out one of hundreds of mutant curing facilities? Then destroy the source of the cure but, save some of the cure to use it against the X-Men and other mutants(We are talking about a huge# as a result of Cerebro's scenes in X2) who disagreed with his political views.
I've reminded you of how stupid it was for Magneto to tell Juggernaut to kill Leech when he could have sent a faster more stealthy Callisto who knew exactly where Leech was in the building. How in the hell did Juggernaut even know where to go to find him? He already showed that he had virtually no brain functionality at Jeans parents house when he threw wolverine into the house twice.
I've reminded you of how it made no sense for Angel to appear out of nowhere to save his father.
I've reminded you of how it made no sense for Jean to take out her boyfriend, mentor, but not kill Wolverine.
I've reminded you of how it made no sense for Wolverine to kill Jean when he could have used some of the cure needles to cure her instead. That's how Beast defeated Magneto. Why couldn't Wolverine do the same?
It's not my fault that you don't remember my analysis. If that scene didn't bother you that's fine with me. It was still a poorly choreographed scene for me and there's nothing that will change my mind.
You're being dishonest hear. Some critics have said these things and others have said differently.
Yep. I took a look at the top of the auditorim to see what movie was playing. It said Transformers so I entered.
You think that making a movie of this caliber, with 2 complex storylines, with an underfunded budget, a 103 minute running time, a rushed production schedule, and a bloated cast was reasonable for any director to make a great film?
You're right. Vaughn wasn't up to the job to be a hack like Ratner and to make a horrible comic book movie adaptation.
I agree. All of this is Vaughn's fault. None of the things I mentioned above were Fox's fault. Also, it's not Fox's fault for letting Singer go. Fox can't be blamed for not hiring Joss Whedon(Someone who actually writes X-Men comics) to direct. Fox can't be blamed for hiring two hack writers only 6 months before filming was to begin. Finally, Fox can't be blamed for hiring someone(Matthew Vaughn) to direct X3 who had not read any X-Men comics.
This is not a good example. The Superman(Superman 5 wasn't even that good) and Batman franchise were both dead for a while as a result of the final movies in those franchises. I know many people who didn't bother to see Superman Returns and Batman Begins in the theater because they remember how bad the last films were. Furthermore, Pirates and Transformers were both fresh ideas and both looked very appealing.
We got some very unscrupulous hyping for this movie. The spoilers that showed up on comicbookmovie.com which were 95% wrong was one example. Scenes of a Colosus and Juggernaut fight being confirmed in wizard magazine is another example. Simon Kinberg telling well over 50 lies for 5 months on thexverse.com was probably the biggest insult.
