X-Men 3

And Halle is in X3 ;)

worst luck :D

Always thought Jada Pinkett Smith would make a good Storm.
 
I was only just beaten to it!
Joss Whedon wasnt beaten to it by Matthew Vaughn appartently the rumour is that reason why he isnt directing X Men 3 is because he has turned it down in favour of directing Wonder Woman which is set to be announced in the next few days!
 
Yeah, I was about to say that Rogue should be in X4...imagine her and Bobby having a "passionate moment", and then her powers suddenly return!
 
Keep an eye out for a deleted scene with Phat. He attacks the soldiers at Alcatraz. I was told that it was removed purely because Phat's mutation was a little bit strange (and possibly offensive to obese people!? hehe)
 
Well that was in the entire movie if you think about it, I would have prefered to see Cyclops and Rogue and even more so Angel and iceman/Colosuss alot more but they all had next to no lines or action scenes in the entire film.

The film turned into a Storm/Wolverine film almost!

We can only hope Xmen 4 appears before Sir Ian enRAB up in dipers;)

Wolverine film I can tell if it is a continuation will just involve Saber tooth, some other nasty mutants too but tis the prob cos the phoneix pretty much killed off every mutant ! so dunno how they gonna do that one!
 
That cast list for X3 that raaaandom posted the link to seems to contain a lot of characters that have not yet been confirmed for X3 like Scarlet Witch and Dazzler!
Maggie Grace is on that list as Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat but she is still in talks and has not yet been confirmed. So that list seems based on the rumours that have been going around about X3 especially as under the cast list it states Vinnie Jones is rumoured to be playing Juggernaut yet he is on their cast list as playing him!
So since that list was properly put on the internet a while back as Vinnie Jones has since been confirmed to be in X3. So dont believe anything about LinRABay Lohan playing Jubilee untill it is offically confirmed!
 
Different actor, but he was there. In the scene where Rogue has her first class, John- as Storm calls him- is showing off with his lighter, and Iceman freezes his flame.

Technically Colossus is around as well, he's briefly seen sketching by the water in the mansion, but maybe I'm going too far with the knowledge here... :o
 
Here is a review of X3:

Based on the Marvel superheroes created by Stan Lee, director Bryan Singer was at the helm for the first two X-Men films, but having signed for the forthcoming Superman Returns, Brett Ratner stepped up and apprehension set in (we're talking about the man best known for the 'Rush Hour' movies - the asinine buddy cop flicks starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan).

But fear not fanboys and girls; I'm happy to report that Brett hasn't slaughtered the golden goose; not only is X-Men: The Last Stand alive and kicking, it will kick butt at the box office.

If you haven't seen X2, stop reading because I'm just about to give away the ending. That film's dramatic climax saw the apparent death of Doctor Jean Grey played by Famke Janssen. But, for fans of the comic, it also hinted that a legendary storyline was to come: that of the Phoenix Saga.

And so to X3 which starts with two powerful flashbacks; one contains ground-breaking visual effects to make Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Sir Ian McKellen) appear 20 years younger as they visit the young Jean Grey (look out for Stan Lee's cameo), and the other features young Warren Worthington III taking desperate measures to hide his mutation.

Flash forward a few years and Jean Grey's death has left Cyclops (an underused James Marsden) a grieving mess. He's even too distraught to fight with Wolverine (Hugh Jackman, magnificent as always) and that's a pity. Their enmity gave the first two films a biting edge that this third chapter misses somewhat. Storm (Halle Berry) tries to fill the gap, but whenever she opens her mouth, hackneyed platitudes come out. We're a long, long way from: "It's me!" "Prove it." "You're a dick."

Cyclops can't believe his eyes (so to speak) when Jean Grey appears before him - but is it really her? She's examined by Charles Xavier and, in a scene steamier than your average sauna, is examined even more closely by Wolverine who quickly realises that this aggressively amorous, erotic, sexual creature is not his Jean. She's something else...

Meanwhile, a mutant 'cure' is available and a freaky-looking kid who could easily play a pubescent Lex Luthor is right at the centre of it. Mutants can either retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human. The treatment sparks all-out war with Charles Xavier preaching tolerance, and Magneto becoming even more militant - if that's possible. His belief that mutants are the future of humankind intensifies. As far as he's concerned, the 'cure' is the latest weapon humans have come up with to eliminate them and he will do anything - ANYTHING - to destroy it.

Magneto has old allies Mystique (Rebecca Romijn) and Pyro (Aaron Stanford) alongside him, but he also enlists a couple of new ones including Juggernaut, a man with superhuman strength (played by an abysmal Vinnie Jones) and Callisto (Dania Ramirez), a woman with superhuman senses.

Battle lines are firmly drawn and once again, Magneto faces the usual suspects who are also joined by Colossus (he can convert body tissue into a steel-like substance), Shadowcat (she can pass through solid matter), Angel (in addition to superhuman strength, he can fly) and Beast, also known as political activist Dr Henry 'Hank' McCoy (played by Kelsey 'Frasier' Grammer). It's the war to end all wars, but the ultimate weapon cannot be controlled by anyone, not even herself. The Phoenix has risen - and she's mad as hell.

The X-Men themes of prejudice, division and equality, are a constant with the franchise, so don't be too surprised to see them yet again. But as familiar as the old conflict often feels, there's still room in the script for astounding bombshells; the kind that will have you choking on your popcorn. Slick direction and efficient pacing sees a gradual build to an unforgettably thrilling climax.

X3 benefits from a simpler storyline than X2; with less strain on the brain, the audience is free to fully marvel at all that's on display here. Just as well as there are scenes that will literally take your breath away. And they mostly involve Jean Grey's alter ego.

Pulp Fiction's Marsellus Wallace promised a rapist that he would, "get medieval on yo' ass." In X3, Phoenix goes beyond medieval - she gets biblical. When her power is unleashed, worRAB cannot do justice, they simply cannot convey how awesome, how stupefying, how breathtaking, the seamless special effects are; they're outstanding anyway, but when Phoenix's destructive force is unleashed, the ante is definitely upped.

Other standout segments include a terrific tussle between Pyro and Iceman (it should've been longer!), Wolverine's bad-ass fights, every frame involving Mystique, Shadowcat and Juggernaut's parallel run, Beast's first appearance, the fate of the Golden Gate Bridge and the final confrontation between Wolverine and Phoenix/Jean Grey, which is beyond mind-blowing; it will have you scrabbling on the floor for your missing jaw.

For the most part, the cast is superb. In the hanRAB of a lesser actor, Magneto would be a two-dimensional villain, but Sir Ian McKellen makes him chillingly plausible. Even though you expect Niles or Sideshow Cecil to pop up at any minute, Kelsey 'Frasier/Sideshow Bob' Grammer proves inspired casting, providing wonderful comic relief at times: "I hear you're quite an animal," he observes to Wolverine. "Look who's talking," is the response.

There are negatives; the script is run of the mill and, on occasion, cheesier than a Gorgonzola factory. Shadowcat, Rogue and Iceman's promising love triangle feels under-developed, which is a shame. What's more, some fans may rue just how little Rogue is utilised; it's not easy fitting so many mutants into two hours. In baseball, it's three strikes and you're out - let's hope that applies to Halle Berry because as stunning as she undoubtedly is, she still doesn't convince as Storm, despite having more screen time. Truth is, she's a lightweight, delivering her (admittedly clich
 
There's loaRAB of rumours around this film, is there a link anywhere that says who is confirmed? Imdb looks like it hasn't been updated for ages. As long as Rogue's still in it and has a bigger role I'll be happy.
 
Well they are planning on giving Emma Frost her own spin off film.... think RAB mentioned that also here its mentioned :

scroll half way down u cant miss it

+ a Mutant academy type spin off possibly also so we may yet get a chance to see the the younger mutants but its not exactly an action/saving the world film they state.
 
This was the first X-Men film I've seen and I loved it! I'll have to find the others on DVD now!! If you missed the final scene (after the credits) basicly
Xavier's not dead!

btw, did anyone else think Dell partly financed it? :rolleyes: :D
 
Tbh, I'm getting a bit worried about this film. Every other week there seems tobe a new addition to the cast. If there are too many characters, then your favourites aren't going to get much screen time.

Btw, I think I know which mutant becomes the test subject for the serum to cure mutantcy, but I'm not telling - unless you want me to.
 
Hey Guys, this movie still looks to be great.

And as a massive lifelong fan of Vinnie Jones (in football & films) i think he will be absolutely terrific as Juggernaught.

Ive never read comic books nor been a fan but is their any where online where you can read X-men comics because i have been a fan of the X-men, i used to love the cartoon as a kid but really would like to touch up my knowledge of the comic based X-men?

Also we did see Kitty Pride before in the previous Xmen havn't we? Briefly..
 
I have to say, I don't remember seeing Dell, I may have, but there was a lot to take in!

If you go on the Dell website you can actually watch 7 minutes of the film there!!

It can't have been as bad as Ford and the ThunderbirRAB movie.
