I wonder how many of you with the Superman Tatoo are going to feel about this:

IMO, people think way too much. I hate when people try to analyse stupid things like this.

Anyway, I think the movie will suck but I'm still gonna watch it. Hope they proves me wrong.

I hated X-Men 3, they fucked everything up

i'm surprised the article didn't mention that the director of superman is gay. he also made the first two x-men movies.

I agree with Stavios..they screwed X-3 completly up. I was into that comic when I was younger....now I believe they have hurt the franchise...hopefully they do not screw up the wolverine movie.

Gonna have to disagree......although I like both characters they work best in the XMEN world. Wolverine is a....well....a lone wolf anyway and it's that interaction with the team the works well. The proposed Wolverine and Magneto spinoffs that Marvel's Avi Arad has already greenlighted will probably be a bit better than Elektra, Punisher and Daredevil, but less than the Hulk (which wasn't much better). X3 left plenty of room for another series of movies....hell, leaves room for the expansion of the Dark Phoenix storyline. I love the Marvel books, but too many movies will not bode well. Ironman, Hulk2, Punisher2, FF2, Spiderman3, Magneto, Wolverine, etc....are all in the works....I'd much rather then develop a solid Ironman and Hulk2 picture and cut Magneto and Wolverine. Make some more XMEN flicks.......theres plenty of mutants left to introduce.

I hope the new superman do good, cause the trailers sucks

they're going to get as much out of Ian McKellan as they can while they still can! both magneto and wolverine will be prequels. For McKellan, they're going to use the same cgi team who reduced his age for the opening scene in x3. As opposed to shooting the film years later...where they'd have to replace a dead actor with someone new who we'd all bitch about, they're going to do it now. contracts prevent them from going forth with another x movie right now, they've got to focus and capitalize on these. x-men is a series that will be continued, revamped, and re-envisioned all throughout the next century! why push their luck?? their slate of upcoming projects is pretty damn calculated...
they're not in it to "please the fanboys"...we're not the ones with the money. MAINSTREAM moviegoers bring in the cash...and they WANT to see wolverine and magneto spinoffs

I always ask the critics this question: What would you do to improve it?

IMO punisher and DareDevil were both way better than the Hulk.
The Hulk sucked, they could have done a great movie but they didn't.. too bad he is one of my favorite characters

I am a big fan of X-men but I wish they won't do another movie. they frikin killed Charles, Scott AND Jean.

I don't think I will be surprise by the wolverine movie has they did like 20 "wolverine story" in the cartoons.
But I look foward to Magneto's.

The Superman/Lois Lane part in the trailer is the only thing that I find boring.

By the way MOS, what do you think of Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor ?
I think it is a great choice

Uhhh.... did you watch the whole movie?

I liked X3 by the way, it had more of the comic book elements than the first two, things like Colossus tossing Wolverine at the killer robot in the battle simulator and Beast throwing him in the final battle on Alcatraz island. I would've liked to have seen them develop some of the new characters a little more but all in all it was pretty good.

Hulk was the worst and most disappointing superhero movie ive seen yet and there is NO NEED for a part 2...
a Weapon X movie(wolverine prequel) could be amazingly awesome if done well.

The movie can't be nearly as gay as the gay "sport" of bodybuilding...

Yes

Go to youtube and type in Xmen 3 or something, after the credits there was a clip you might be interested in if you think they killed Charles.

Had to wait until AFTER the credits though to see it. Also if anyone here knows about antibodies, using them to PERMANENTLY hinder mutant powers is not possible as far as I can tell because the host immune system would eventually treat the supressant antibodies as antigens and destroy them. Hope it isn't when Rogue and Bobby are getting it on

hey thanks dude, I'll do it at home.

Can't play videos at work

portwine · « **Reply #22 on:** June 02, 2006, 12:16:16 PM »

my friends were jerks and went and saw it out of town the night before they came to see me....
didn't know about the final scene, so they had to go see it with me for their second time!

it's great...bryan singer shot that scene COMPLETELY under the radar! it wasn't in the script,
it wasn't on the schedule, and the producers knew NOTHING about it until just before the movie
was released and singer's like..."hey...lookit this....i shot this during lunch one day with a limited crew..
can i put it in??"
BAM! the door opens wideeeee open
