Batman Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 It did make me feel alittle better about going to see it. It might not be as bad as I first thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Mover and Shaker Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Are any of you extremely familiar with the characters, especially the new ones seen in this trailer?

Any info would be very cool! You should be able to find info on any of the characters' powers at marvel.com. 'Any interesting back stories'.... -Angel & Beast were members of the original team in the comics (which also included Cyclops, Jean Grey, & Iceman). -There was some rivalry for the affection of Jean betweeen Angel & Cyclops in the beginning. -Angel hid his wings from the public by strapping them in tightly -Beast wasn't so beastly in the beginning (although he did have oversized feet & was a bit hairy). His furry self also wasn't always blue..it looked blackish grey for some time in the 70's. -Colossus was one of the 'new' members (which also included Storm & Wolverine among others) that replaced the original 5. He's also Russian (I guess they'll probably drop this info from the movie) -Shadowcat was the youngest X-man (13?) at the time she came around. She joined right around the time the Grey/Phoenix thing was happening. In a sense, she replaced Grey. She appeared in X1 & X2 by running through doors & walls. -Callisto...don't know much about this 1. I quit collecting comics by then. -Grey/Phoenix thang...I wouldn't want to spoil the movie too much for you. Seriously, you should wait & see the flick on this point.

Moonraker Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Of all the new cast, I'm most excited about seeing Juggernaut. I used to watch that campy Saturday morning cartoon X-men tv show over a decade ago and I remember a show with him fighting. Wow, I might actually go see this movie, I havent done that in soo long.

RollDeBonz Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 In the comics, Callisto was the leader of a group of mutants that lived in the sewers and tunnels below NYC. Most of them were physically mutated and were not accepted by society so they went underground. They were aptly named the Morlocks. I'm not sure what her role in the new movie will be though. Juggernaut is the step-brother of Charles Xavier (Professor X). His name is Cain Marko and he has an extreme hatred towards his step-brother. He comes across some mystical gem that gave him a suit of armor that makes him extremely strong and a virtually unstoppable "juggernaut". Angel was born into extreme wealth and was a "playboy" He developed feathered wings and his bone structure changed to that similar to a bird allowing him to fly and be extremely stealthy. He is generally a self absorbed person. At one point his wings are badly damaged and in a fit of rage and self pity, he joins Apocalypse (big bad guy believed to be the first mutant). Apocalypse turns his skin blue and transforms his feather wings into metal wings that can be used as weapons and renames him Death, one of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen. Shadowcat is a young mutant that can become intangible. She can pass through solid objects and vice versa. I believe she can also disrupt electronics when she touches them in her "phased" form. She has been romatically linked with Colossus, even though he was quite a bit older than her. She has also spent a lot of time as Wolverine's side kick. Beast born with large hands and feet and was quite strong and dextrous with the exception of that he looked normal, originally. He is a genius scientist and has mutated worse several times due to his own experiments. In the first or second movie he is in a short news clip as Dr. Hank McCoy. In the new movie he is played by Kelsey Grammer in his mutated, furry, blue form. In case people aren't aware of it yet, I am an adult dork.

kazzman Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Just got back from seeing it. I'll admit it was better than I thought it would be, but it still wasn't that great of a film. The ending just flat out sucked imo, and I hated how they cured/killed some of the major characters in the X-Men universe. Juggernaut and Angel should have had much more screen time and they should have elaborated a lot more on the Dark Phoenix thing. The only thing this film had going for it was the action scenes.

2112-Rob-2112 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 if anyone sees it..stay after the credits..there is a scene that leads to a cliffhanger...i think there may be another xmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazzman Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Not really. All it really shows is that *said character* didn't really die as we all presumed he did. As far as more X-Men films go, all that's been confirmed is a Wolverine spin-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telegraphcreeklocal Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I seen it last Tuesday afternoon and I was all hyped to see it. It was a let down. Should've been called The Return of Jean Grey. I wanted to see Rogue and she was almost non existent. Tried to cover some great characters but not enough time spent on each one, too scattered. The action was cool. Didn't think The Last Stand meant killing characters off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
