I want all of the deleted/extended scenes incorporated into the movie, as well as some of the scenes we haven't seen yet, including scenes like: Storm talking about her past, etc.

I want a whole new longer movie. I also want them to work in all three of the endings in, Rogue NOT taking the cure, Beast staying at the X-Mansion, and Logan going back to Canada.

What do you think?
 
Yes, also i want the whole concept of Mind Blocks removed.

I wasn't keen on the Logan scene, it was too random, too meaningless, even the dialogue (Going Home? Something like that...), maybe it was meant to be a set-up for the Wolverine solo movie, but it just doesn't fit with X3.

Beast staying at the mansion is okay...but without the Beast scene we did get, the movie doesn't end properly, it needed the 'lift' of Beast's appointment to the UN to round it off (as it meant mutants had much wider acceptance because of what the X-Men had done).

Rogue not taking the cure - well, yes, most of us (and even Lauren Schuler-Donner on the DVD commentary) admit that she shouldn't take it if we follow the source material and its themes. But it did kind of make sense to movie version Rogue. Who's to say how long a cure will last on someone whose mutant power can absorb other mutant powers. As the cure tries to cancel her X-gene, her X-gene is trying to absorb Leech's lifeforce that is in the cure...so she might think she is cured...

Which would mean no Jean flashback... they couldn't show her lifting cars all over the neigbhourhood if she was meant to be weak until radiation evolved her.

For once, i like what you suggest
 
If it's going to be just a Director's Cut, I think we won't be getting a whole new movie. Taking out the mental blocks wouldn't work, I think, because it would mean there is no reason for the Phoenix at all.

What I'd like to see:

An Xavier opening monologue. There is one among the deleted scenes on the DVD, but I'd like to see it with better effects, and music added.

Extended Danger Room scene. We've seen pictures and trailer footage of this scene that isn't in the movie, so they can use that.
Make the scene have more of a "story". Put in an objective for the team. In the novel, they have to reach a certain place before a certain time, while they dodge laserfire. Also, make it a better (re)introduction for this new X Men team: give the characters some dialogue, and have them work together more.

Actually show Phoenix rising from the water. If there is one thing fans wanted to see...and of course, she should have a fiery aura. She doesn't need it in all of the scenes, but I'd say its needed in this one, in the scene in which she kills the professor and when she goes berserk at the final battle.

Add in as much there was of Angel's part.
Show him arriving at the masnion, and join the battle however short that may be.

Extend the battle at Jean's house.
Add in the shots of Wolverine and Juggernaut on the street (but without Juggernaut's badly delivered line), and add in Storm's lightning punches (but without her and Wolverine fying Juggernaut).
I'd personally like to hear the voice in the psychic battle. Some of the lines in the deleted scene we know from the DVD could be used.

I'm not sure if this was filmed, but I'd like to see some reaction to the battle from the people on the street or in their houses. You can see them running away behind Storm and Wolverine, but that's all there is shown, even though it doesn't happen everyday your neighbour's house takes off into the air!

Though I haven't seen the scene itself, adding the scene of the plastic weapons being manyfactured might show the government arming up and getting ready for war very well, and could fit into the montage of the army taking those weapons into use.

Put back in the original version of the X Men boarding the jet. Wolverine is not the guy for speeches, and the dialogue in this scene seems a bit more dramatic, it shows more what is at stake.

Add the scene of Jean sensing a scared girl. It would add a little more conflict to Jean.

In the final battle, add in Storm's wave, and Bobby and Colossus' teamwork in defeating Phat. We hardly see Storm and Colossus do anything during the final battle.

Add in the extended Dark Phoenix destruction. Not only does it look gorgeous, but it also shows more of her power.

Put in the alternative endings of Rogue not being cured, and the new schoolyear.
 
The only way that I would 100% buy the directors cut was if they reinserted the majority of deleted scenes into the movie.
 
Do we really think there's gonna be a Director's cut/Extended edition?

If FOX was sure it would bring in more money, I'm sure there will be. :oldrazz:
 
Im sure there is, in that interview...there will be a "super duper" DVD next year.
 
I want to be able to pick and choose which deleted / alternate scenes / endings to use.

I don't like all of the deleted / alternate scenes (Extended fight sequence at Jean Grey's house, Logan's return to Canada, Jean turning the cup into a nuclear reactor, Beast's growl at Logan)

But many of them I do like and think they would add (even of not that much) to the movie (Extended Phoenix Destruction, alternate Rogue ending, alternate Beast ending, Iceman & Colossus vs. Phat, Storm's wave, Jean sensing the little girl)

Yeah, it's already been confirmed.
 
-i want xavier's monologue as the intro
-get rid of the scene with little warren (it sets up for a character we only see for about 3 minutes)
-scene showing pyro walking into magnetos layer (to answer my friend's question)
-the extended fights (juggs and jean) at jeans house ("too long" they say? the movie's 100 minutes- theres plenty of room!)
-the original scene between wolverine and bobby
-bobby freezing phat (looked fine to me)
-scene with beast staying at the mansion
-rogue not taking the cure
- MORE OF THE NEW X-MEN

i think i like wolverine staying at the mansion. like hes found his home (something cheesy like that)
 
I think the keyword here is "cut". In movieterms, "cut" is supposed to mean "edit", or "version", as in "Director's version".

Sadly, ratner has taken the term "cut" too literally.

Now what I'd like to see, if I were going to watch this movie again, is a Director's UNcut version
 
Is there EVER gonna be an Editor's cut? Anyway, it would be cool! :cool:

Sorry javi... i didn't want to rewrite everything so i copied some of what you wrote...:)
 
hey as long as were after the same thing :oldrazz:
 
There is a scene of Storm talking about her origins?!?!?! UGH I WANT TO SEE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!I MUST SEE THAT! MORE STORM!!!

I hope they have a edition where all of the deleted scenes are seamlessly included in the original movie so the movie is longer and the battle scenes are longer (i loved Storm and Wolverine teaming up on Juggernaut)

:D Thanks!
But... has any official source confirmed a Director's Cut or is it just a rumor or is it just the biggest dream of X3 fan about this movie?

personally, i'd like to see the movie refilmed with a new creative team ( Bryan Singer and a writer like William Monahan or Andrew Kevin Walker...maybe even Joss Whedon)...it was done with the prequel to The Exorcist (2 versions were filmed: the first dealing with more psychological terror than physical, while the second focused more on gore/violence/Hollywood fluff/etc)...shame it can't be done for X3

neat idea. This way both camps can have their favorite film. An action oriented film, and a drama-oriented film. A film for Wolverine fans, and a film for X-Men fans. A film that ends a trilogy and the movie series, and a film that concludes a story line but continues with the overall story arc.
 
i want all deleted scenes added except for jimmy's exam, Beast's growl, magneto with beard, and here's juggy. i like the end with rogue to not take the cure. i find it better that beast became ambassador since it does more help with for the community.

i really want all the Phoenix scenes to be added, esp where she senses the girl and where magneto tells her to fight and doesnt, since it gives reason y she doesnt in the film.

it also love if they added some sort of phoenix raptor effect when she was fighting against Pro X, power trip at the camp, and at the final battle.

lol is that to much to ask for? haha
