X-Men 3: The Last Stand

[Eazy E]

I just watched the full trailer on MSN.ca, it looks really good.  Some of the visuals are amazing, especially the bridge scenes.  I'm going to have to go back through it and see which mutants I can pick out, but I'm impressed so far.

I read a report on MTV.com not too long ago that the title "The Last Stand" means it is the end of the trilogy, but that it leaves the possibilities open for spinoffs (Wolverine or Storm).  If the movie is good, then that's fine with me, I like to have a strong trilogy of movies instead of letting the franchise fade away.  Then if the spinoffs suck, you can write them off as "not being part of the actual X-Men trilogy".. 

Go check out the trailer and discuss it!   

[Timothy]

yeah it's then end of this trilogy  But also it maybe the start of another .


I was a little worried when about this flick but now It's definatly one of the must see flick of the year.the trailer looks bad ass.

[SuperMike]

I got the 1st one on DVD for my b-day a few months ago, loved it. I still got the 2nd one to see, is it good?

[Axlfreek]

they are in fact working on a wolverine spinoff.

can't wait.

[Sin Cut]

I got the 1st one on DVD for my b-day a few months ago, loved it. I still got the 2nd one to see, is it good?

the second one is really good, too. I still can't decide wich one was better 1 or 2

[Rocksteady]

1 and 2 were both really good especialy 2 cos it got to the action faster( most of the characters were already introduced) If trailer is any indication then third will rock even harder. But seriously they can't stop at three they haven't even introduced Gambit yet. They should make another trilogy with a different line up of mutants and only cuple of the "old faces". Shouldn't be too hard cos many will probably die in the "last stand" anyway...... ofcourse Wolverine can't die.

[Danny Top Hat]

I've heard bits and pieces about the story, but i'm guessing nobody wants any spoilers here.  They're not sticking to the comics at all which will bug some people, but i'll just be happy with a quality film I reakon.

Kelsey Grammer as Beast couldn't be cooler.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I think 2 is better than 1, specially cause it has a great ending and everyone knows the phoenix saga is approaching 

[pilferk]

I've heard spoilers.

As a fan of the comics....I'm not too pleased with at least one of them.  I have a feeling, when the movie comes out, there's going to be some uproar about it.

But "Frasier" as the Beast was a stroke of casting genius.

[Jim]

Casting wise, aye, you're right, but I still agree that's he looks a bit too human!

[Markus Asraelius]

I saw the First X-Men and thought it was great. But, I haven't seen the other two.

[Jim]

Well, check out the second because I reckon that it's even better than the first.

Seeing the third will be a bit of a challenge at the moment though, seeing as it isn't out yet.

[Izzy]

yeah it's then end of this trilogy? But also it maybe the start of another .

If x3 makes money we'll be getting x men films for years to come!

Yep.


Plus a lsome memebers of the cadt are already signed on for 4 and maybe even 5.

[Eazy E]

It's probably better that he looks a little more human... I would prefer that than a big CGI Beast that looks as crappy as the Hulk did.  After watching the trailer, I'm unsure about the way Juggernaut looks.  He just looks a little small and wimpy considering the name he has to live up to, but overall I think they've done a good job on most of the mutants so far.

I don't know if 1 or 2 is better... I might say the opening seqeunce with Nightcrawler puts 2 slightly ahead.

[Jim]

Aye, that and, as a fan, I also prefered the ending to 2.

If you're interested in very minor spoilers, Empire have a breakdown of the full trailer on their site. I can't give a proper link because I can't get on the page at the moment...probably to do with last nights awards...But it is on the main page, and is pretty cool.

[AdZ]

I think beast just needs to.. hunch a bit more.

It's the uprightness that I dislike and the face looks slightly too human, apart from that it's perfect.

[R4tfink]

Fucking love both of these films. Dying to see the trailer but my laziness prevents me from ever going anywhere apart from this site.

[Eazy E]

So who has seen the movie this weekend?  What did you think?

[Danny Top Hat]

I felt really let down.? The special effects were great but the story and dialogue were all over the place. -4/10

[Timothy]

The Movie is going to be very mix with peoples reaction to it.The story wasn't to hot .But considering that their were a lot of things going on during the whole pre production .


All in all though it was emjoyable. had some pretty good action moments .7./10

[SuperMike]

I'm going to see this movie tuesday or wednesday. I don't care if the story and dialogue is bad, it's the final sequel and it's the last time I'll see the actors play the characters.

[Back Off Bitch]

See this movie! It was sooo good! My favorite of the trilogy - 9.5/10!

[Timothy]

Well Maybe . There will be a part four.



Also stay to after the credits .

[Izzy]

Really dissapointed with this film - not least because the trailer ruins everything!

No matter what happened in the film you were forewarned by the trailer, destroying any kind of suspense - Magneto moving the bridge was awesome, but i knew that was coming months ago!

Killing off key characters is just absurd, at times the director was killing off anything that moved as if to deliberately prevent a follow up film, the film did not benefit from it at all

Storywise...well, what happened? Where was the resolution between humans and mutants, and if you weren't going for resolution then why ''the last stand'?!?

Why introduce characters that have three lines? No one got the chance to say anything apart from Halle Berry who's credentials as a decent actress must have been taken by Leach at some point during filming (maybe a deleted scene?)

Nothing was particularily spectacular - i mean c'mon mutants with amazing powers fight - how can you fail to make that impresive? Why did most mutants just charge straight into people wih guns, does mutantion also cause stupidity?

What happened to Magneto's forcefield??

Argh what an awful film, and the first two had promised so much and though hit and miss were enjoyable affairs

[kockstar999]

i saw it... i liked it.. it was the 1st of the 3 i have seen... what happened after the credits?

[Duffsangel]

Saw it last night. Liked it.

I think that a fourth may be in the offing, or a number of spinoffs. 

So what did happen after the credits?

[R4tfink]

Fucking loved it, but i am an X-Men mark, after seeing and enjoying the first two! Its all a bit of fun! I love fun!
After The Credits?
The Magneto bit? Didnt that come before the credits?

[Guns N RockMusic]

***** SPOILER ******
Assuming you saw the movie but didn't stay for the scene after the credits, it goes to the man who had a perfect body, but no higher brain activity (the one Xavier was using to talk ethics to his students).  You see the man turn his head, and call out the nurse's name in Xavier's voice.  The nurse looks at him and says "Charles".

[Back Off Bitch]

There will be Wolverine & Magneto spin-offs and very possibly a Storm spin-off (God help us with the Storm one...)

But with the things that happened to Magneto & Charles at the end, there very well may be a 4th X-men and I damn well hope there will be...

20th century Fox have confirmed it - but c'mon, a successful franchise isn't going to be left alone for long - Fox were so desperate for X men 3 they wouldn't even wait for Bryan Singer to finish Superman - the next installment will be with us in 3-4 years of that there is no doubt....

Personally i cannot wait for the Magneto film, a really intresting character and if Ian McKellan is to play his younger self - hell, i'll be camped outside the cinema! According to Sir McKellan using clever camera effects he can and very possibly will play himself 40+ years in the past, the effects in question are the same magic used at the beginning of X Men 3 and damn, they work - Sir Ian looks 20 years younger and without any makeup used at all!

[mrlee]

they are in fact working on a wolverine spinoff.

can't wait.

i heard they were making a magneto spin off lol

[Timothy]

The way I see it going down is .We will see either the Wolverine or  Magneto spin-offs.Then we will see X4 ,then the other spin off movie.



Truth be told their will proable be a fith film in the series .Cause Vinnie Jones(Juggernaut) and a few of the other cast member have up till movie six clauses in their contracts.

If the 4th sells there will be a 5th and so on - if they always do well they will make them for decades to come and beyond

Just look at James Bond films thats 40 years plus - a successful series just keeps going unless its physically impossible to continue it i.e Lord of the Rings

[Axlfreek]

awsome movie. highly entertaining. recommentd it to anyone who is a fan of comic books.

10/10

Damn i hate that advert now






...is that elvish for wonderful?

[Izzy]

X-Men breaks US box office record
Superhero epic X-Men: The Last Stand took 120.1 million US dollars (?64m) over the Memorial Day weekend in the US, the biggest opening ever for the American holiday.

Preliminary estimates gave the latest installment of the comic book franchise the fourth best three-day opening, and the best single Friday in movie history with a gross of 45.5 million US dollars (?24m).

The film, starring Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman, also had the second-biggest one-day gross after last year's Star Wars: Episode III.

.....that pretty much confirms another trilogy

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

i heard it stinks like cheese.

[SuperMike]

I just saw it tonight, I loved it! It is now one of my favorite movies.

[Dead N' Bloated]

I saw it on sunday and Thouhgt it was awesome. But it was a bit slow in places.
Over all it rocked but Not as much as the 1st 2. The 2nd one is the best

For me, it's about a tie between 1 and 3 as the best. I liked 2, but not as much 1 or 3.

[pilferk]

Saw it the other day...and just thought it was OK. X2 is my favorite..but that's mostly just becasue it's faster paced than X1 (which, don't get me wrong, I also loved).

I didn't like some of the people they ended up removing, but was then even more ticked off that they pussied out of all of it in the end (the last 2 scenes...one before credits, one after).

[Chelle]

Going to see it!!!!? I can't wait!? I loved X2? ?

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I saw the other night I think it is a good movie but I like better X2 I think the producers meant to do this script to end the saga. As for Wolverine i think this is not the last time we heard about him.

[HoldenCaulfield]

I watched it the other night and I was very impressed. All we've heard was how awful it was, but it wasn't. I absolutely loved how Beast was done. They couldn't have done anything any better with him. I wish Collosus had more action and screen time, but oh well. I guess if I'm nitpicking, my biggest complaint was Juggernaut. I didn't like his outfit/helmet and he had some dodgy lines. I also think it's blasphemy that they added the "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" line. Much better than X1, not quite as good as X2, but a very cool summer movie...
