You give them way too much credit.i learnt my lesson with X3 not to much to much faith in clips and trailers! u guys remember to overload of stuff we got in the run up to the release, these boards were on fire! with praise! don't get me wrong, I've liked all of Vaughn's other films, but Fox have a habit of messing with the Xverse, look at Origins! and Gavin hood seemed promising before release no?

Ditto...Really fun, loved the "spy" line, never saw it coming, and the bonus was the first taste of Jackman's score. But I really need to stop watching this clips and promos, I'm spoiling every second available online.
Honestly, no they(X3, XW) didn't look anywhere near as good as these do(other than maybe the GG bridge scene in X3"s trailer). You could just tell from them that they were shoving buttloads of mutants into the films and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that 99% were gonna get the shaft and simply be there to just occupy space and be fan service.
Trust me, they did a lot more for X2..just like X3, fox is probably going to spoil the whole film in order to sell.
...it's working.
...and miss byrne is looking lovely as usual.
Maybe, but i remember seeing about 80% of posters on here having nerdgasms when we saw the fastball special, when we saw the sentinals head, saw a face off with ice man and pyro! i especially remember the reactions to "im the juggernaut B*T*H" line being used from the cartoon parody! everyone had high hopes, i think for me i'd like to be pleasantly suprised by if it's good, and not be dissapointed if it blows, or maybe the fan boy in me has died a bit! hahaha
Trust me, they did a lot more for X2..
lol, no. I remember the days here on 2001-2003. I'm not talking about the medium, I'm talking about the AMOUNT of material. Viral marketing didn't exist back then, but the amount of media promotion that was there in terms of material was probably a lot more than X3 or at the very least on the same level..I can garuntee you there wasn't as much online promotion for X2 as there was for the last 2, definitly more than the original X-men, but there was only yahoo movies back in 03 that was really pushing that movie! now we get all these virals and internaional spots on on youtube.. X2 might of had more on TV promo.
Probably because they're big X-men fans and that can cloud one's judgement. I'm not. I've never been. And I guarantee this film won't convert me to one, no matter how good it is. But I do enjoy a well made superhero film even if I'm not particularly a fan of the character(s)(Superman: The Movie, Batman Begins, SM2, X2, Thor, etc.). This film is now an absolute must see for me and I fully expect that for me(at least) it'll likely be the best X-men movie ever made.
Now if you start talking about a Hulk or Iron Man movies then I lose some objectivity since they're my all time faves but here with this film I can view it much more objectively. And what I've seen kicks ass like nothing I've yet seen from anything in the X-Men films to date.
