What did you like better Batman (1989) or Daredevil?

[Green Goblin 1964]

Comparing B89 to Daredevil is....

Goblin your avatar is SWEEEEEETT!

Cyclops is sadly underrated and overlooked in a world where everyone seems obsessed with Wolverine.

I know this is off topic, but I totally agree, not that Cyclops is one of my fav Xmen, but he is and always has been the leader. I like Wolvie just as much as the next guy, but when they killed off Scott in X3 and made Wolverine the leader, I was angry, Wolverine is not the leader type. They only did that cause everyone knows Wolverine is most peoples favorite Xmen character, which makes me angry.

That was a terrible mistake from the writers your right Wolvie would lead but would do so reluctantly. Storm should have stepped up she is (or should be) second in command to cyke but considering Halle Berrys crappy performance (wheres the strong willed storm with the slight air of nobility from the comics?) i didnt hope for much from her. I really think James Marsden should return his cyke is one of the great underated superhero movie performances imo its like he walked off the comic book page but gained a new emotional dimension while doing so.

Cyclops nees to sty dead & as far as I'm concerned, with the script she was given, Halle Berry did good enough.

 

[Damiean Dark]

Will Marsden return for X4? i pray they find some way to do it a scene with Wolvie, Beast, and cyclops would be amazing i would love that girl from Juno to return as shadowcat, she was great in the role but now her profile has increased she may be reluctant to return i would also recast Iceman he was a whinney idiot in X2,3 where was the cocky joker of the comics?

 

[The Joker_1000]

Cyclops needs to stay dead.

Nah Cyke is one of the greatest ever Xmen just because he doesnt have issues and is just a great leader makes him boring to some and Berry was crap imo she just didnt cut it you can read the minds of the producers of the movies like a book in regards to her casting "lets find a black actress to play storm....halle berry!" there are plenty of good black actresses who would have suited better but you cant blame the producers for getting probably the most famous to pull in the crowds i suppose.

He shouldn't have died, he shouldn't even have been in X3 if they were going to do that, Xavier shouldn't have died, Jean shouldn't have. X3 is a pile o steaming crap. My X-Men movies begin with X1 and stop a X2, X3 does not exist in my mind...it never happened.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Like you said, it's the unwanted stepchild (at least to you). As for Xavier, he didn't die, he transported his mind into another body. However, I will say that Jean shouldn't have died & the main reason I hate Cyclops in the movies is because he's a *****e.

The Cyclops in the movie isn't the Cyclops from the books. He is the leader yet has been under-used and written wrong since the first film.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Like I said, he was a *****e & I didn't like his character portrayal (not that James Marsden is a bad actor). However, I will say that I absolutely love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Patrick Stewart as Professor Xavier, Kelsey Grammar as Beast, & Ian McKellen as Magneto.

Ian McKellen looked too old and fragile for me to be Magneto.

I always thought the role needed to go to someone more physically adapt and more youthful looking that him. Though he had good chemistry with Charles.

Jackman won me over after the beginning in X2. Never liked the fact that he was taller than Cyclops.

 

[The Joker_1000]

I never really cared or noticed Wolverine's height in the movies because of how well he portrayed Wolverine. As for Magneto, if we get a new franchise a few years from now, by all means get someone younger for Magneto but for the universe we were given in the X-Men movies we got, Ian McKellen was good enough.

Well it wasn't just the height, it was a lot of things, he got the attitude right and what not I suppose. The films just revolved too much around him, and the 3rd was so chalked full of mutants that no ones story really developed farther and other x-men were underused or not used at all.

 

[Damiean Dark]

Remember the early magneto appearences showed him to be an older man he was a WW2 orphan after all read books like good loves man kills and you can see Mckellen looks exactly like he should.

The GN that X2 is based off of. My Magneto in my mind is the JIm Lee Magneto, strong, cunning, handsome, conniving, but a ruthless visionary.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Well, even if we get a reboot, I don't really want Magneto as the main villain again anyway. It gets old to have the same villain in the movies over & over again.

I hope they leave X-Men alone for awhile after Wolverine...I'm getting tired of Hollywood ruining comic book movies...they are really starting to suck hard.

The Hulk, The Punisher, Catwoman, Elektra, Blade 3, Superman Returns, X3,...all range from mediocre to terrible at best.

The cream of the crop are X1 and X2, Spider-Man 1 and 2, Hellboy, and Batman Begins.

Iron Man looks sweet as does The Dark Knight...but they should leave some franchises be. Funny how they are "rebooting" the Hulk only after a few years...how lame is that?

 

[The Joker_1000]

Them rebooting the Hulk isn't lame, it's a great idea because we don't have some idiot director behind the project that wants to focus more on love stories & boring talking than the actual main attraction which is the Hulk. Also, I don't see why SR gets a bad wrap, it's the best Superman movie since Superman II.

That's not saying much as SM 3 and 4 sucked hard.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Yes, they did suck but SR was a great movie in my eyes. It had great actors, a great story, etc. It was a great starting point for a new franchise & I can't wait to see a sequel.

Sequel better be good, if we ever get one. The pacing was too slow, Superman was a creeper, and now he was a kid.

I just want to see him battle damn Darkseid and Doomsday. Really get a pounding and give someone a whooping.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Superman isn't all about action & he was not a creeper, he wanted to see what had gone on with Lois in the last few years & he wanted to right the wrongs he felt he had done to here. I seriously love SR, no matter what anyone says. I even prefer it more than Superman (1979).

With the exception of that the third one, Ian's Magneto exhibited all of those qualities. Physically he did not look very strong but he carried himself in a powerful stature. The scene where he is rallying members of the brotherhood in the cathedral shows how convincing he was. And the fact that he would stop at nothing and attempted to make Charles decimate every human on earth and leave only the mutants proved he was a ruthless visionary. I thought McKellen was brilliant in every way. It sounds to me like you dislike him because he doesn't look like a Jim Lee drawn power lifter from Olympus. Yeah, well none of the actors who have played Batman looks like Lee's ridiculous roid drawings either.
