[phoenix_force]

[Aiden]

Nice one Nick

 

[X-Maniac]

Which site? For which "review"?

A disclaimer has now been added. I don't mind reviews, but this one has a bad vibe about it and the disclaimer clearly implies it is fake.

See, I'm not willing to compromise on this film. I'm not going to judge it against the "could've been worse" standard and consider its rushed production.

Fox had an ample opportunity to make a great X-Men film that lives up to the series past and series potential. If they do not make it, this film will be a failure in my book.

I don't pay 8 dollars, nor respect writers and creators, for "their best shot." I respect competence, creativity, and a successful realization of a particular story, whatever it may be.

If you fail, you fail.

Hollywood wants to know why the BO sucks right now? Its because they use this "could've been worse" standard when they make their films....

You hit it right on the head. The last paragraph sounds like the reviewer is trying to soften the blow so to speak.

If the review is legit, the movie sounds like the kind of film way to many on these boards predicted it would be. OK to good, to very good--but nothing to write home about.

Good example there. Im not believing a review until more credible sites have seen it.

-calms down- I feel wasted... -sighs- -pounces on everyone-

 

[JokerNick]

10 bucks says if I submitt that to AICN or CANMAG, they would post it................ don't beleive a word till credible sources come out

"I'm sure the film is complete. There is no way they're not done with this movie since the critic's screening will be coming in."

Technically it prob is done, but there have been plenty of examples of films being overnighted to theaters.

They still can have a few more days of brushing up FX work and still get it in theaters in time.

Finishing FX isnt gonna stop the film from being reviewed.



For those wondering, no word on the novel yet. She said her freight hasnt been finished(whatever the hell that means)and she still has alot of boxes to go through and wont know whats in them until she does.
Since the film reviews will be coming out, should I even bother?

 

[X-Maniac]

..and even after reading other 'official' reviews, don't necessarily be sucked in.

V for Vendetta was torn apart in the press reviews here, yet when i saw it, i loved it.

As others have said, be aware that some reviews will not like the movie.

 

[PWN3R]

I read that they were working up to the 11th. I forgot where, but it said they will tweak the FX till the 11th.

X3" is 2 good 2 be 4-gotten. Brisk and involving with a streamlined forward propulsion, it's the kind of superhero movie we want if we have to have superhero movies at all.

"3" is also an improvement over the initial "X-Men" venture, yet, paradoxically, it wouldn't be as satisfying as it is if that first one hadn't existed. Director Brett Ratner, the key members of his production team and no fewer than nine stars and the genetic mutants they portray return from the 2003 sequel, and all benefit from having the previous effort behind them.
If the first "X-Men" had an obstacle it never completely overcame, it was the time-consuming necessity of introducing the numerous inhabitants of its elaborate world of mutants, each with a very specific power, from the ability of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to fight like the devil and heal himself to the way Storm (Halle Berry) can control the weather.


Still, just having gotten it done at all seems to have put everyone involved in "X3" understandably more at ease, more confident and relaxed. Without those pressures, the film was free to, in a sense, take itself for granted, to concentrate on coming up with an involving story and telling it in the best possible way.

Though it was put together by a heaping handful of screenwriters (written by Zak Penn & Simon Kinberg & director Ratner), one of the virtues of "X3" is that its storytelling style is basically matter of fact. "X3" doesn't wink at us and doesn't get overly stylized. Its shrewd concern is to make the world its unreal characters share with us ordinary humans as realistic as possible. As director of photography Newton Thomas Sigel told American Cinematographer, "In many ways, I think we're trying to make films that are closer to 'Road to Perdition' than, say, 'Gone in 60 Seconds.' "

Even more remarkable, "X3 doesn't trip over its own logistics, even though those logistics were formidable. Shot largely in Vancouver, "X3" was the biggest movie ever made in Canada, complete with more than 60 miles of electrical cable running through a key soundstage and hours in makeup for returning shape-shifter Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) and New character Beast (Kelsey Grammer)
But despite this, "X3" really wants to involve us in its characters' stories, to get us on its side and create belief that there is something tangible at stake in what these mutants are up to. Don't be misled, we're not talking "The Hours" here, but for a superhero movie, it's well above average. And this despite the fact that at two hours and 15 minutes, "X3" doesn't on for as long as it should.

Like "Spider-Man," which also began life as a Marvel comic, "X3" mines the romantic conflicts and insecurities of adolescents and those who act like them for much of its emotion. Will the telepathic Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) who is returned from the dead tthe the terrible truth about here revealed!and what will young Rogue (Anna Paquin) chose to do remain a mutant or take the cure? And will any of these people be able to take a break from sorting out their raging hormones to help save the world?

"X3" opens where "X2" left off, with the death of Jean Grey clearly still affecting the x-men
Magneto and Xavier, you'll remember (or else I'll remind you), had a philosophical disagreement that turned quite violent about the relationship mutants and humans should have on the planet well in this film it is revealed that they disagreement began with Jean Grey when Xavier did something "unethnical" to her.

Xavier, rather like the U.N.'s Kofi Annan, thinks everyone who is too powerful for their own good should be controlled, while Magneto, borrowing a page from some in Washington, thinks because mutants are stronger and smarter than anyone else it makes perfect sense that they rule the world and be free to use their powers no matterhow vast they are.

In this films one of the main plots in the cure for mutancy which is discovered by genitologist Dr Kavita Rao
What will everyone's favourite mutants chose to do take the cure and become accepted in the community or remain as they are?
Magneto forms an army and stands against the humans and their cure
"X3's" secret weapon and most persuasive performance comes from Famke Janssen as the evil Dark Phoenix. This will not surprise anyone who's seen Janssen's unforgettable work as the assasin in james bond goldeneye .
Actually, the acting in "X3" is better than average for this kind of movie, with Janssen being especially effective a highly emotional character who finds out that the man she loved as a father took care of her only out of fear and jealousy.

One of the unexpected aspects of "X3" is the way its concerns seem to be uncannily relevant today, starting with the cure that showing discrimination.

 

[PWN3R]

You'd think they would use spell check.

 

[PikaZeroX]

He's a fake (The iMDB guy)

Inconsistent with his reports, making continuity impossible. He also said He THINKS Juggernaut and Colossus DON'T fight.

Well for one, he said they don't fight (We know they do), and two, he was unsure of himself. You saw the movie, you know what you saw. This guy is a F A K E.

Yup


Review is BS. Here is what he said when I asked if they fight.

I don't belive Juggernaut and Colossus fight. Would have been good. I do hope they change the Cyclops thing. I like that they kept in open. Cyclops is the man. I hope they cut him back into the theatrical version.
