X2

xx

Went to see it twice yesterday - good, but not as good as I thought it would be tbh. Still, that bit where Collosus walks into the bedroom and the metal skin comes clanking up him to cover him (including his face) - TOTAL GOOSEBUMP CITY!

It's something to do with

The Phoenix taking over Jean Grey's body/persona when she dies. There's something involving Madeline Pryor, the clone of Jean Grey, getting Jean Grey's memories, and feck it read this & this.

Quality film. I'm hoping gambit will be in X3

when mystique was hacking the computer his name (remy le rou (sp?) seemed to REALLY stick out

Can someone tell me how your man Stryker can manipulate the adamantine like in wolverine i.e. how did he get it liquid in the first place?

I loved the film, anyone know the name of the mazda car that the guys escaped in it kicked ass! Wolverine was brilliant and we saw into his dark past. There could easily be 5 films considering the years of comics, tv programs and all the characters, and the so much talked about spoiler that you can see in the water could be very interesting, storm looked so hot in her leather trousers

Woden

I think is was a mazda RX7 if my gran turismo days hold true, unless perhaps and RX8 or something has been released.

Woden

An RX8 it is

looks damn good

Swifty

That was bloody cool.

If you listen to when stryker is talking to Wolverine before he fights Death Strike it says 'its rare to get adamantium in its liquid state yadaa yadaa....' so that means he gathers it when its liquid.

I liked the film, some really cool fight scene's

magneto's escape was class

, and the scene in the hallway with the grenades was also brilliant (if you saw it you would know).

However I thought the film seemed unfinished, as if there was something more on the end, there will definately be an X3 tho, the ending is so open to it.

Thorbar

Just after coming home from the cinema after seeing this movie. All I can say is feck that was amazing. The special effects were outstanding but these were backed up by decent acting and a trilling/interesting plot. Matrix 2 just got a bit of competition.

Antisocialiser

There are already is a post about this m8 titled X2

Ping Chow Chi

there will deffo be a X3 - as anyone whoes read the coimics will probably know where it is going to next

anyone else thought that the bad guys stole the show

Thorbar

Sorry I was knackered when I posted this didn't spot the other one.

patch

nightcrawler was class!! The best effect since bullet-time. It's nice to to see alan cummins doing well- he's sure come a long way since circle of friends!!

On the same database, you could see Hank McCoys name and Jamie Madrox name (AKA the multiple man). Roll on number 3

Adamantium is an alloy, which means that the core components can be melted but when they cool together, they're indestructable.

Woden

Cheers for that Pugsley i mustn't have picked that up.
and thanx Gilbet more along the lines of what i was looking for.

I thought it was brilliant. The FX were class and it's obvious Singer was more inventive and had more funds this time around.

I've always loved X-Men and I don't I think that the films are emulating the status held by the older comic's if not making it better.

Final thought: Bryan Singer is an amazing director and it's a pity he doesn't go for more gigs. Bring on X3:)

KdjaCL

Great film really enjoyed it right until that last 10 minutes ,the scene with the jet and what happens after was crap and was wrong wrong wrong

Other than that great film very well made.

Stark

AND he should be wearing the mask thingy...

And running around in yellow spandex yes.

I hope it shows Rogue acquiring her powers of flight and superstrength in X3. She's one of my favourite characters but in the current two films she doesn't do much.

That bit at the end in the water

is that the phoenix character described in the comic books/cartoon series. I know that in the series she was actually possessed when she became phoenix, however artistic licence...

pauldeehan

Thought X2 was brilliant, defo better than the original. Yeah, I noticed the Hank McCoy interview too.

LizardKing

Have a gander thru the full cast and crew list for X2 and you'll notice a few surprises ....

Have a gander thru the full cast and crew list for X2 and you'll notice a few surprises ....

In that list there's a credit for someone who played Gambit!?

A cut scene perhaps...?

LizardKing

yeah they also have people for jubilee , Hank McCoy ... I tcould be a list which includes X3 cast but it says X2 ....

Stark

Kea wong who played jubilee, anyone remember seeing her in the film? Apparently she turned up for the xmen 2 premiere.

Tusky

Sadly I didnt think it was a great film...i enjoyed it but all in all thought it was pretty bad...

The story was ALL over the place and was absolutely terrible..couldnt they come up with somthing a lil mroe intelligent/ exciting ? I also thought they tried fit FAR too many characters in which ment they all only got a tiny bit of screen time....and in turn ment we only see each of them using there powers once...

Yea some of the SFX's were cool and its a good leave your brain at the door but being such an a X-Men fan I would have liked the story to be a bit neater....and the whole film to be neater tbh, it felt messy...anywho ill go see it again and it may change my mind i guess..

The_Bullman

I can't say that I am a big x-men fan but I do remember watching the cartoon years ago on sky one.

I really enjoyed this movie. It didn't seem too long at all. I won't go into much of the action scenes as most of them have already been commented on.

One thing that I am looking forward to in x3 is

Pyro and Iceman having a bit of a fight. Seems like this may play a small part in the movie??

Bicky

In that list there's a credit for someone who played Gambit!?

You see gambit when nightcrawler and storm went to save the kids in the dam. The kids are underneath some kind of grill and storm shouts gambit and you get a brief glimpse of the kids.
but I didnt pick him out. all went a bit fast.........
As for jubilee i think she was one of the students in the room with Xavier at the very end.

wolverine was great..gotta love those claws.
Nightcrawlers first scene made the movie.
collosus was incredible and definetely a charachter they should develop more imho!!!!

bail

if any of you agree that x-men 2 turned out to be seriously boring tell me cos it was really c*ap the trailer showed the only good scenes so if you are going to see it im telling you will be disappointed.

also colin myers of radio one said that the matrix is for a load of geeks well what movie was he watching it was the best movie of all time is any one else looking foward to the release of the matrix reload and also in november the matrix 3 is coming out.
also check out the web site www.whatisthematrix.com and watch the trailer it looks seriously cool.
