Fair enough. But surely you can see the difference in how Gambit's presented and how other male X-characters are. There's almost a cheesecake quality to him you usually only see with female comic book characters.

Gambit was the SHIT!!!! Hot Sexy, about to unintentionally break up the fight between the two mouthbreathers. Oww my heart went thump thump when he worked that cane! Yes he has the magic stick, that's like a cherry on top of a sundae right there.


Why oh why did they have to make Ryan Reynolds aka Wade ugly? He starts out fine then looks like he crawled out of a grave just before passing thru a vat of toilet water. oh well, the movie is the bomb and aside from Terminator Salvation there is nothing else worth seeing this year.

oh yeah, as for lame. Will.I.Am....don't quit yo day job brutha! and call yourself Willie cuz that's what it really is. A wee willie.

SUPRMAN said:[quote]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'?[/quote]


Now that you mention it

DesireeNevermind said:

he's waaaaay uglier in the comics.

errant said:

Ugly? No. There's never been an interpretation of Gambit that could rightly be called ugly. He is prettier and younger-looking in the movie, but that doesn't make comic-Remy ugly.

meow85 said:

he was rather good looking in the cartoon series also.

DesireeNevermind said:

Definitely in the 90's series, anyway. I can't vouch for the newer X-Men cartoon since I've never seen it. It didn't play on any channels in our cable package.

meow85 said:

I could be wrong, but I think errant was referring to Deadpool...

Not that Gambit isn't a total tool...

i thought this movie was EL CRAPAMUNDO GRANDE.

i thought it was maybe one of the most poorly written stories i've ever encountered. there were enough plot holes to open a golf course, every time the movie raised the stakes for wolverine something would happen to screw up those stakes, thus screwing up our emotional investment in what's happening to the guy; i can't even imagine why they took some the liberties they did to screw up the established comic book characters for this movie. did diamond skin chick REALLY need to be emma frost? did she REALLY need to be the girlfriend chick's sister?

oh, and OH MY GOD: what was that jacked-up looking professor x at the end? he looked like a goddamn creature from the mothership in close encounters. too much botox? too much CGI? hell, too much MSPaint? was that even patrick stewart? whoever it was, that was one creepy-ass face.

and how many holding-a-body-and-screaming-at-the-heavens scenes did this movie NEED, anyway??? i kept expecting george constanza to scream "KHHAAAAAN!!!", just because it seemed to be the thing to do in this movie.

oh, i hated this film. jackman's diamond-hard butt cheeks couldn't even salvage this mess for me. liev schreiber's cute panda-like face came close to melting the ice in my heart, but too little, too late.

U are on an island in the middle of nowhere all by urself with this one.

DesireeNevermind said:

Good! I'll name it HATE ISLAND.

POPULATION: GET OUT OF MY YARD!!!

Anxiety said:

Just think of Star Trek and let the hate melt away.

Anxiety said:

Ima sick Wade aka Weapon 11 on ya. He aint gon say shit but he gon fuck up them daisies. Then diamond girl emma gon scratch up the house...er uh...hut.

Anxiety said:

Rogue588 said:

Re-reading it, that's more likely. Even those who aren't Gambit fans would be stretching to call him ugly.

meow85 said:

i was talking about Deadpool, as was the person i was responding to.

Geek Moment Ya'll!
Cameos:
In reference to the caged mutants,
Toad - Greenish kid sticking his tongue out
Quicksilver - Kid bound by white straps spinning real fast
Banshee - Red haired kid who at one point had a muzzle of sorts strapped on his face.
The "tornado kid" some are saying was either Storm or Riptide.
Any other guesses?
Was obviously visiting comic book forums.

i think that bald person in a suit and jacked-up face at the end of the movie was supposed to be joan rivers.

Anxiety said:

Symbolically I still enjoyed it.

Bfunkthe1 said:

Was that the kid that for a moment resembled mist or smoke? Either way it couldn't have been Storm cuz I could have sworn that kid was a white dude.

impressive geek moment tho

^
Thank you. Am proud of said Geekness.
I personally don't remember the tornado thing. My roomate pointed it out as well as others on some forums. I dunno.

Bfunkthe1 said:

oh royal geeky one...what do you know of the asian twins? I was like oh hell no...them girls aren't going to do anything spectacular? More Origin movies are definitely needed. Im still irked that we saw a little girl Storm in the trailer but not in the film.

DesireeNevermind said:

Sweet. I'm royalty now! Jusk kidding. From my appearence you'd never suspect.So I'm told.
Anyway, I don't really recall the twins but heard some talk. Who were they supposed to be? The forums I was on didn't seem to know either.
As far as Storm, I agree. That was a highlight for me upon watching the original trailers. That was just criminal cutting her cameo out.

Bfunkthe1 said:

Yep, i didn't like that and I didn't like not knowing where a teenage cyclops got his special shades from and why all of a sudden the teacher notices them. there used to be a tv series on Xmen teenagers. can't recall the title. I just hope the director's cut ala DVD answers all our questions.
