Supreme Cmdr Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 After reading this, I'm a little gunshy to go and see it. Sure, one doesn't need to take the comments of critics to heart. But seriously, if Brett screwed up this film as is porported, there's going to be hell to pay!!
Wolferz Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 I just returned from the early afternoon matinee for this film... WOW!!! 10/10
Wolferz Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 That is why you shouldn't go into a movie expecting anything. I went in for the ride and what a ride it was. If the critic in your link had any neurons still firing.... ahh nevermind. Critics suck anyway.
Supreme Cmdr Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Posted May 26, 2006 I just came back from seeing it. Yep, he's full of crap. I too grew up on comics and I simply do NOT see how it could have been remotely possible to do the full Dark Phoenix story arc in such a film. The movie was great and I had a blast. I plan on seeing it again before it ends. Ignore the critics. The movie is the typical Summer popcorn fare and does not disappoint. 10/10 ps: WHATEVER you do, STAY until ALL the credits have rolled off BEFORE leaving. Yes, you'd have to stay for about 10-15 mins after the movie ends, but really, you MUST or you'll miss something VERY critical. I have NO idea why they did that (i.e. put that piece after the credits)!!!
Supreme Cmdr Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Posted May 27, 2006 There ya go!! Even Wolfie gives it four thumbs up.!!
Kevin Trotter Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 I was underwhelmed. Uneven and poorly paced, though parts of it were brilliant. I just expected more. 7/10
Guest $iLk Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 Loved it... the only problem I had was the complete change in Professor X's character. I do agree with the SC... you can't do the whole Phoenix arc in a movie... just like Spider Man 3 won't have Spider-man getting the black costume from the Secret Wars storyline as "Captain Universe" or whatever the hell was going on with that.
Cruis.In Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 I saw it, didn't like that *no spoilers!* and etc etc... anyway what was the Phoenix arc about? [ 06-01-2006, 08:02 PM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
Wolferz Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 The Dark Phoenix story arc actually began in the second movie, X-men United. It is concluded (maybe) in The last Stand. ;D I hope they will continue with future offerings from The X-Men and The Fantastic Four as well.
Cruis.In Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 sorry about the spoilers. I actually liked it somewhat, but the thing I spoke of annoys me.
Captain McMahon Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 I saw it and give it a 8/10 Yes I enjoyed it, but if a movie DOES NOT stop me from thinking wait this is a movie. Then it didn't do it's job to keep my attention. I found it rather boring in some parts, but overall a good movie. But just like the other two movies it IS NOT enoughfor me to buy a copy.
Eclipse Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 I saw this one tonight with Cars, and well... meh... It was ok, but felt a little disjointed, almost like there was supposed to be more discourse and meat between the explosive scenes. 6/10
John Prezioso Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 I saw it last weekend. My general feeling was "great movie!", but I didn't like it as much as the first two. Mostly because it felt like two movies' worth of material crammed into one. I would have like to have seen this one stretched into two films, so the 'Phoenix' story could be properly explored. It didn't feel quite as epic because in places it felt rushed. Where was the ultimate showdown between Juggernaut and Wolverine? I kept waiting for it, and it didn't materialize. The Iceman/Pyro fight was short and unsatisfying, considering the build-up. Many things that I think should have happened didn't, and others that I thought should have been momentous occasions (like the deaths of Cyclops and Xavier, and the "humanizing" of Magneto and the blue-hottie what's her name) were treated as footnotes. Too bad. Had the full story been properly explored, it would have been an astounding 10/10. As it is, in its incomplete-feeling state, I give it 7/10. BTW, Storm is still wicked HOT!
Charles Lindsey Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 There was no big monster, only a concept as the bad guy.
Kevin Trotter Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 SC what did they put in after the credits? I couldnt leave fast enough and i missed it.

Race, someone tried to send you a PM and it bounced because the email address in your profile is incorrect. Please fix it because if another of your PMs (or emails) bounces, your profile will be deactivated.
Wolferz Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 The spoiler factor is why I sent him a PM to answer the question
