More Gambit fans...

babynoz said:

I give it a B and I would recommend it. Better than X-3. About the level of the first X-Men.
Deadpool and Weapon XI should have been separate characters.
Gambit was good and deserves a movie that isn't an 'origins' piece.

Was I the only one who thought the Weapon XI fight scene was lifted from 'Star Wars:The Phantom Menace'?

babynoz said:

Isn't that Wolverine?

Yeah comic book geeks!. Like me.
I liked the movie as well. Seemed a bit rushed though like X-3. Was on par with X-3 quality wise. I agree the CGI looked rather cheap. I dunno.
Question anyone. I couldv've swore I saw an early clip of a young storm (guessing here) being picked up/rescued on a beach by someone. Anyone else see this?
Also did anyone see the linked version on-line and if so is there any cool differences?
Now that I paid and saw the real version it would be cool to check out the leaked version. For comparsion of course.

Precisely. And like errant pointed out - he never shuts up. EVER.

Now let me back the fuck up outta this thread because there's a 'lil too much Gambit in here for my liking..

matthewgrant said:

Yes!
My roomate said that when they showed all the young mutants in the cages he saw aa "tornado" spinning around in one of them. I don't remember that but maybe that was her?

Bfunkthe1 said:

Oh, maaaybe


Ah, but i found this from comicvine.com


They need to do another Origins movie so we can get more story of the rest of the mutants. did anyone else think Logan was gonna kill Gambit when he couldn't remember who he was? cuz he sure as hell isn't in the 3 xmen movies so where did he go!?

Bfunkthe1 said:

I do believe that "tornado" was Quicksilver.

^
Quicksilver I believe, was bound in his cage by white straps and kept trying to get away fastly. He also had white hair.

SUPRMAN said:

Wolverine's hot and all, but he wasn't intended to be in the way Gambit is. The creation of Gambit was a deliberate attempt at candy for the straight female and gay male fanbase.

matthewgrant said:

I swear I thought that was supposed to be her too, but there didn't seem to be any reference actually in the flick. Maybe it was a tiny cameo that got cut?

meow85 said:

yuppers. i ended up finding this at comicvine.com

matthewgrant said:

Maybe it's my iffy perception, but it seems to me Wolverine ended several years before X1 is supposed to start.

In X1 Xavier indicates that Logan's been wandering for 15 years, so if there's any continuity at all I'd assume there's a decade and a half gap between the two. But that still leaves the question of where Gambit buggered off to.






Not to mention Nightcrawler's unexplained absence in X3, but that was hardly the biggest flaw there.

meow85 said:

I never played the game, but I guess Nightcrawler's absence in X3 was explained in the tie-in videogame released for the movie.

Nikademus said:

No idea, I never played either.

Any gamers can help us out with this?

what a snooze fest. couldnt wait for it to be over.
had i been alone i would have walked out

It was passable... a bit like X-Men 3.

It had it's moments, but unfortunately they were outweighed by the poor
script/story. Far too rushed in places and poorly thought out. Also, after
the scenes in X2, the whole Weapon X section seemed tame. It worked
way better in X2 where it was implied that the trauma of the operation was
what caused Wolverine's amnesia. Those shots of him covered in blood
with his new metal claws sticking out of his hand and a look of fear and
panic on his face had way more impact than how it was portrayed in
the Wolverine movie. Just like X3, I was left pining for what it could
have been, instead of the mess it actually was.

Nikademus said:

yeah, kinda sorta. but the character of Maverick, David North, wasn't in the movie. his alternate name was just re-used for a generic asian asssassin character.

BorisFishpaw said:

yeah, i'd say overall that's my biggest complaint. there is great potential in this story (and in the plot elements cherry-picked for X3), but it all seems a little bit wasted.

though i think they did fairly well streamlining Wolverine's ret-convoluted continuity given the disparate and contradictory mess that the comics have given us.

babynoz said:

Think about it: If she put her hand on someone's shoulder and caused them to change their behavior, it'd be a lot clearer that she had special powers.

Devoid of special powers, Lynn Collins could make most straight men change our names by purring: "I just LOVE the name, Aloisius. Don't you?"

Bfunkthe1 said:

I remember that but I couldn't see who it was. I do remember white hair though.

Bfunkthe1 said:

I remember that. A different character than the one spinning the tornado or wind.

Well as a gay man, Gambit does nothing for me. Not my type at all.
I could how he would work for others though.

SUPRMAN said:

I wouldn't say he "missed" them. But his m.o. is to find and train young mutants in the use of their powers, especially since it seems he's just starting out. So Gambit and Wolverine don't really fit the bill of what he's looking for.

babynoz said:

They're just being sympathetic, babynoz. He still comes off as lame. I bet in that sketch of him on his back, he's just been knocked out by the Wasp...
