Hyperglide Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Jesus I just wrote a great reply and had the damn site bitch slap it into internet oblivion I'll try to remember what I had originally. I loved this movie, leave it to Bryan Singer to make a great movie. I felt this movie actually felt like a live action comic book jumping out off the screen. It had an electricity to it something the first movie lacked (I don't know why, lack of high quality action sequences maybe?). The beginning was by far the best sequence: Where Nightcrawler annihilates all the guards and secret service agents. I felt that set the tone for the rest of the movie, even though the action somewhat dwindled later on. Someone mentioned this movie's action lacked I'd have to agree. I don't remember seeing Dr. Hank McCoy's name mentioned anywhere of course I wasn't really paying attention to the one bar scene: Rebecca Romajn-Stamos was smoking!! So forgive me if my attention was detracted elsewhere, hey whaddya expect? Remy Lebeau aka Gambit did make a small cameo in it though: The scene where Mystique breaks into the military offices and steals the secret base schematics and plans, there's a roster of outlawed mutant's and REMY LEBEAU IS ONE OF THEM HEHE!!! I had to aknowledge that in case someone missed it. Anyways this movie was great entertainment It didn't pick up till we got to the Mansion scene where Stryker and his task force attack's "the school for the gifted." OH and hey what's up with: Logan taking Scott's Crotch Rocket, Mazda, and girl??? He's got some nerve heh.... Lastly I heard someone mention there was an X-man named "Mimic." Is this the same guy whose alias is "Morph?" I used to watch the original animated series, and Morph was my fave X-man (kinda miffed he's not in the saga but I guess having two shapeshifters would be too much for non-avid fans to absorb.). Can someone answer this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian54 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Remy Lebeau aka Gambit did make a small cameo in it though: The scene where Mystique breaks into the military offices and steals the secret base schematics and plans, there's a roster of outlawed mutant's and REMY LEBEAU IS ONE OF THEM HEHE!!! I had to aknowledge that in case someone missed it. My friend watched X-2 with a chick (just a friend) and said she pointed out beast's name mentioned. We then declared her the smartest person on the earth. And I thought there was somthing significant about that name when it was mentioned. Hence, I was the second smartest person on the earth. But, I couldn't remember Beast's real name, so looked it up in my comics, and his name is Hank McCoy. That doesn't seem to be the name mentioned. I'm now puzzled. But your discovery of Gambit, definetly makes you the smartest person in the world. Are you rich yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well excuse me for not reading the book! That's no reason to jump all over me for it. I've got better stuff to do with my time then to read the novelization of a movie based on comic books...

Cool, someone else mentioned it. I was going to but didn't want to in case finding a blue chick hot was considered weird. Anyway, I don't read the comics so I missed out on quite a bit with any Beast, morph, Gambit cameos. And who's Jubilee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your discovery of Gambit, definetly makes you the smartest person in the world. It was hardly difficult to spot. It was right above where we should've been looking.

I notice neither of these mostly because I like most other people that probably watched it wasnt paying any attention to those minor things that you dont expect to see in the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Originally posted by NeoDios Cool, someone else mentioned it. I was going to but didn't want to in case finding a blue chick hot was considered weird. Weird? NO! I don't care who you are. If you are a male, and don't find that character absolutely HOT on one level or another, there has got to be something wrong with you. On another note, I thought the entire movie was done perfectly. The action sequences were perfect. The acting was incredible, and even the flirty scenes between Iceman and Rogue - usually cringe material - were cut short just before it got uncomfortable. I never read a single X-Men comic, but I am absolutely hooked on the movies. The Mansion escape was just incredible, and the opening scene where Nightcrawler is tearing the whitehouse guards up is possibly the most incredible fight scene to hit the big screen. So, bottom line, until you see it, you can not even begin to imagine how incredible it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got better stuff to do with my time then to read the novelization of a movie based on comic books... Opps, I didn't mean the book, I meant the comics. and I didn't mean to jump all over you, sorry, but if they did novelize a movie based on comics, I wouldn't bother to read it either.

Nightcrawler182 Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 I'm assuming that you've already seen the movie, Dath, don't worry, we fixed the popcorn machine.

ET Warrior Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I want Gambit in the next one.....like...all Gambit all the time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Yea, I was mad when they only listed his human name and didn't even give him a cameo. I was pissed. Beast got more air time than Gambit, and gambit is a million times cooler than Hank "Beast" McCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 yeah.....although maybe they'll make up for his lack in this one with a HUGE role in the next one.....that would rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 But that is only until Pyro eventually learns to harness the Fire and make it a part of him. Then he will become like Magneto said, A god among insects. MY bad, apparently after double checking with comic book reference's, Pyro will only be able to manipulate Fire, which is why in the comics, he carried a flamethrow backpack. I was thinking of someone else apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEEZERbbt Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Well to tell you the truth i thought his power was awesome b/c i like fire other wise it he is kinda boring but nightcrawler was kick butt!!!!!!
