X-MEN 3 PSYCHO REVIEW

Don't know if this was posted yet or not -

Check that out, it's a redubbing of some Juggernaut segments from the animated adaptation of the Phoenix Saga. It inspired the X-Men 3 line "I'm the Juggernaut bitch!" because it constantly comes up in the re-dubbing which more or less turns it into a blaxploitation parody. It's very wrong but very funny.

Interesting article.

You know what would have been really cool? A large scale adaptation of Kingdom Come. Especially if Christopher Reeve hadn't been paralyzed and all; it would have been cool to see him come back as the older Superman of the KC storyline.

He added, "I call it my first chick flick."


Sounds like the same theme The Dead Zone has been exploring for five seasons.


I never watched the Dead Zone so I wouldn't know.

Is there still a Red Sonja series in production?


There is a series running from Dynamite Entertainment. I have one issue which was very good but I haven't been picking it up regularly to know if its a good series overall. Also, on a weird note, there's a legal battle about the name and who can use the character because I guess one company owns the rights to the spelling 'Sonya' and another owns 'Sonja'. Stupid legal stuff.

That would have been a sweet nod to comics fans- to have Jean, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast and Angel all up there in the same scene.

Sigh.

Yeah, that would have been sweet. Maybe we should hold out hope for an X-Men Begins type film in the future showing the original 1960s X-Men in all their glory... but that probably won't happen.

Did it ever bother anyone that the movies made Bobby "Iceman" Drake a teen while Cyclops, Jean, Beast and even Angel were full blown adults (although they looked like they were trying to make Angel a "young" adult)?

How many people here disliked the film version of Rogue, please raise your hands.

Any casting ideas for Mister Sinister? The only two actors who come to mind when I think of who could play Sinister are Christopher Lee & Frank Langella. How about you guys?

If Mister Sinister were to be done in a live action film, how much money would you bet that the filmmakers would change things to make Sinister obsessed with Wolverine instead of having Sinister be obsessed with Cyclops?


It's pretty sad when your movies make Bobby Drake look better than Cyclops. Nothing against Bobby, but Cyclops was supposed to be the friggin' leader.

Very sad.

Great. A chick flick. Superman. I mean it was obvious, but he has now made it official.


I don't like the sound of that.

It's a damn shame, because Storm is an important character in the X-Men universe and deserves more than just playing second fiddle to Wolverine. Of course, Cyclops also deserved better.

And I was very disappointed with the movie. I felt Prof. X was out of character. Getting upset with Logan and then blaming him? For what?! Didn't like that. Upsetting that they killed of Cyclops. Would've been much more dramatic if in the "final battle" with Phoenix, Cyclops destroyed her along with himself. But its true, the movie was about Allverine and Storm. Sheesh, you'd think they'd work on an accent with her.

Speaking of accents, no accent on Colossus. He's supposed to be Russian! And isn't he supposed to have a thing with Kitty? Gah!

END SPOILERS

I think the thing with Kitty & Iceman was based on some Ultimate Marvel thing. Yes, all that stuff between Jean & Logan should have been between her and Cyclops, who has always been her one true love in the comics. I agree it would have been better if it had been him at the end destroying her along with himself, that would have rung more true for both characters.

SPOILER below -

I was thinking about the scene where Mystique was "cured", taking the cure dart for Magneto, and she collapses on the floor as the stuff turns her into a normal, powerless human. The look on her face as it was happening, the expressions of pain, shame, violation, humiliation, and finally loss, as she realizes that she has lost what made her who she was and has become what she always hated, and yet she does not belong anywhere now, and the look of betrayal on her face as Magneto abandons her there, frail, helpless, naked... I wonder if this is meant to make Mystique a symbolic rape victim, as if she were a virgin who lost her "innocence" against her will so to speak. What do you all think?

Plus, I thought that one was kinda big. Nice tho.

Bigger is better. Well, not all the time, but there are many instances where it is.

X-MEN 3 PSYCHO REVIEW
Time
Just caught the 7:15 PM showing at my former place of employment, Regal Cinemas Hunt Valley. It was entertaining in its roller coaster ride way, but not quite as smooth or slick as the first two - and I didn't even enjoy them much, despite the fact that they are undoubtedly the GOOD ones in the franchise. Though I knew his death was coming - I even signed an on line petition not to have him killed foolishly hoping he could be saved - I was still seriously pissed that they killed Cyclops. He was always my favorite X-Men character along with Beast and Colossus, but they treated him like crap in the first two movies, and they treated him like crap here. I guess it was partly because the actor playing him James Marsden got caught up in former X-Men director Bryan Singer's misbegotten Superman Returns - which looks like crap in both promotional pictures and in the trailers.

I officially hate Wolverine/Logan now. I didn't always hate him, but I've been hating him since the first film. The way they kept screwing the other X-Men characters over in favor of Wolverine, most notably Cyclops, the God Damn FIELD LEADER of the X-Men for crying out loud, always angered me. It never felt like an ensemble piece, which is what the X-Men are supposed to be.

On the bright side, I got to see Beast, that was cool. And there was more Colossus, which was cool even though he didn't get a lot of screen time. Plus Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde; the best part of the movie was watching her run around in the leather jumpsuit (she was born in 1987 so she is in fact legal). No wait, that was the 2nd best part. Seeing Mystique/Raven Darkholme lying naked on the ground after being "cured" of her mutancy was the best part of the film, and the only reason I'll buy the DVD.
