    Could not load file or assembly 'Storm, Version=4.3.0.96, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020) etc....

    EDIT: Nevermind....it's working now.

    i'm a little cautious about ratner being involved, he was fired from superman after all, if he can't make a movie about one superhero, hows he supposed to cope with a whole team

    It's a bit of a long story how Ratner got involved. Singer left to do Superman. Vaughan (I think, director of Layer Cake) was called in to do it. He eventually pulled out for reasons not fully known. he said it was personal. The script and cast had been pretty much set by now. The script mostly done while Singer was still on board. Ratner who is a major X-men fan was originally one of the directors shortlisted for the first X-men but I think he had other commitments at the time. He was given the hot seat for X3 a few weeks before principle shooting.
    I was sceptical of the Rush Hour director at first and I thought the drama of the first two would be lost with him directing but looking at the trailers, reading set reports etc, I think this will be the best yet. He is an X-men nut and I'm sure he'll do the source material proud.

    And about the Superman thing. I wouldn't worry about him being fired from that job. So many actors and directors have been involved with it over the past decade it's hard to find someone who wasn't fired/left the job.

    Saw a screener last night in London...... I loved it!!!! I hadn't watched anything past the teaser ages ago, so I really didn't know much about what way they were taking things.

    As an X-fan, I was a teeny bit disappointed by one or two things, but I feel it was easily up to the standard of X2 (if not better), and the change of director really didn't impact at all -- except that Halle Berry was actually in it still. Overall the style and drama of the first two movies isn't affected.

    The promo material they were giving away last night gives a good indication by putting Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman above the title, as they're easily the leads in X3. Which for once, I actually loved what they did with Storm - finally she rocked! Wolverine was the same old guy - love him or hate him, but Hugh did a great job with the emotional bits. It's definitely an emotional end to the 'trilogy' of X-films. I'd really like to see X4 + though, and they have introduced a lot of lower-paid actors that would probably sign on for more so we'll see! Everyone laughed anytime Vinnie Jones opens his mouth, though thankfully he doesn't have much dialogue - and I was surprised that he actually works as Juggernaut.

    I'm gonna go see it many more times before it's out of the cinema I reckon, I'm even dying to see it again today, though 'When A Stranger Calls' remake will have to suffice....somehow I don't think it will :)

    One thing - the film's only 90mins, which is quite short considering the amount of plot they have to get through, so I would've been happier with a longer, more fleshed out film... BUT that's what the comics are for. I'm curious to pick up the novelisation by Chris Claremont this week as apparently it's got lots that was taken out of the script after he'd been given it to work off.

    Oh, and STAY UNTIL AFTER THE CREDITS! :D

    is nightcrawler not in this one?
    i was looking forward to him doing his thang again. And still no gambit?
    but mi happy to see beast there at least...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,767 ✭✭✭Hugh Hefner


    Ooohhhhhh, this is looking good now. Do you get the feeling that the other actors are just laughing at Halle Berry? I mean, she sucks so much ass as Storm. She always has.

    And I assume that some of those scenes were shortened quite a bit. Warren's scene for example, and the "Who's the hairball?" scene.

    90 minutes sounds too short for comfort to my mind.

    That looks painful. I don't know if it could be as bad as the first 2, but still painful.:mad:
    That whole scene with Hank where they are talking abouty the cure is such a lame riff of Astonishing X-men 3 where the exact same thing is going on. Somehow I doubt it'll have this kind of gold;

    Emma: Three students were missing from my ethics class. Seventeen overall. Logan had to break up two fistfights and a mystical swordfight. And that dreadful Guatemalan crab-boy is at Benetech telling reporters this is every mutant's only chance to avoid burning in everlasting hellfire. This is eating us from the inside out.

    Kitty: Oh my God. You teach ethics?

    Emma: Very funny, yes I teach ethics.

    Kitty: No seriously, I really have a problem with the fact that you teach ethics!

    Melodrama is not good entertainment.

    Based on the first two films, I'd totally agree that Halle sucks as Storm. However, in X3, Halle/the writers/Ratner manage to really turn out a better-developed (and far more aggressive and kick-ass) Storm. Yes there's still some hokey lines that she delivers, but overall I actually really enjoyed her in X3.
    is nightcrawler not in this one?

    No, and there's no mention of him at all. Then again, if you're a fan, at least you know going into it that he's not appearing, unlike fans of Cyclops and Rogue who might expect some decent screentime...
    And I assume that some of those scenes were shortened quite a bit. Warren's scen for example, and the "Who's the hairball?" scene.

    Just took a look @ the 7mins -
    the first scene with Scott/Logan is literally that long (and comprises most of Scott's face time unfortunately!)

    Most of the scene when Hank talks about the Cure is left in, though it was intercut with the classroom slightly differently/faster, and Rogue seemed to arrive quickly, but I can't think of anything extra from those bits.

    When Magneto gives his speech in the church, that's clipped, as is when Callisto says "that and more" -- she goes on to say that she can read a mutant's level of power, and that's how they come to find out about Jean/Leech later on.

    I think the pacing is just slightly faster in Warren's scene but that's pretty much exactly how it plays out in the movie.

    The montage @ the end shows a LOT of the movie, I'm glad I didn't watch any of the trailers before seeing it!
    Also -- I've since seen lots of promo pictures and posters and although Angel and Cyclops are pictured with proper leather X-suits, they never wear them in the film, which is a shame. Rogue also only suits up for the Danger Room.

    Goddamn, I was looking forward to this until I heard that Vinnie Jones was the Juggernaut.

    Ah well, it'll probably still be good :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭blu_sonic


    Ian McKellan (SP) hinted at more X-titled movies on the j ross show, Ross was asking if this was the last and he pulled a face and wouldn't answer (i know the wolvie and maggers movies are due too)

    Goddamn, I was looking forward to this until I heard that Vinnie Jones was the Juggernaut.

    I wasn't expecting him to be any use either - and any time he opens his mouth, the entire audience laughed, BUT when he's not speaking, he works quite well in the part. Shame he just can't act!

    I'm glad to hear that -- as long as some of the bigger names sign back on, they could easily fill out the team with lower-paid actors too.
    The deaths clear the decks a bit too
