I think some of the naysayers bring WAY too much baggage to the film. I think it's important to keep in mind that writers/directors are adapting the source material to create cinematic films. Your version of the characters inside your head doesn't make it THE version that others think should...

For Rogue to retain those powers, she'll have to basically suck out the lifeforce of the mutant, so I can't see them letting Rogue kill off Wolverine just so she can have his healing factor permanently. The same for anyone else. Ms. Marvel (or someone just as powerful) is going to have to be the...

The Scorpian King.

I've describe the Siren scream scene as it is in the movie, there wasn't a second intruder that tranq'ed her. Again, I think you are ascribing too much power to that scream of Siren's. Yes, it's disarming when she starts screaming, but even Wolverine and the intruders manage to stay conscious...

In the film: Once awoken by the intruder in her room, Siren screamed her head off, which sent quite a few of the troops with headaches for about 20-30 seconds (you see the scene with Iceman and Wolverine in the kitchen ducking for cover), but once the initial intruder got his bearings, he simply...

In my X3 story idea, Jean would not be killed, but the Phoenix would be expelled from her, and then she and Scott could be making sweet love without the floorboards going buh-bump in the night. One of the great "little" scenes from the Dark Phoenix saga in the comics is when Scott and Jean...

It seems to me that if you watch a film with the mindset that it's going down path A, and it instead goes down path B, that's just a formula for disillisionment and disappointment. Just let the film unfold before you. If you thought it still stunk after trying to keep an open mind, that's your...

I think if you bog yourself down in the minutia of scenes, films would be less of a viewing experience, and just become flat out tedious. To require some plot points to fully disclose the mechanics of a take down by an elite paramilitary group would be cinematically boring. There are some scenes...

One idea for X3 would be: Jean is found by Sebastian Shaw (of Shaw Industries who built the complex at Alkali Lake for Stryker) as her body washes up on shore in that area of the dam. Jean is dazed and confused, yes, and amnesia-ridden, but has her TK powers intact, and without the years of...

Has anyone considered the mental strain it took on Jean to lift up the Blackbird, and hold the water at bay? Jean was simply exhausted doing both, and once the Blackbird was safely in flight, Jean was spent, she was done. She made the ultimate sacrifice because she was the only one at that point...

Anna is almost 21 years old now (will be on July 24th according to IMDB).

Saw the film once more, and for some reason, even though I knew what was going to happen at the end, it hit me a little harder this time around. The reactions by Cyclops and Wolverine to this event were actually very human, and universal.

X2 went over $100 million at the box office on Wednesday.

Here's the list of actors that are not contractually bound for X3: Jackman (Wolverine) Stewart (Prof. X) Marsden (Cyclops) Berry (Storm) McKellan (Magneto) Those that are under contract for X3: Janssen (Jean Grey) Romijn-Stamos (Mystique) Cumming (Nightscrawler) Paquin (Rogue)...

Good grief! X2's weekend box office take has been estimated to be $88 million over this weekend (Per Box Office Mojo). It was released in just over 3,700 theaters. When the dam was about to burst, I was thinking that the X2 DVD is going to have some serious rumble in its soundtrack! That...

Way back in the early 80's, Marvel renamed X-Men as "Uncanny X-Men", I think around issue number 113 (give or take an issue), but issues preceding the title change were called "X-Men". Then in the early 90's, Marvel launched another X-Men title, simply called "X-Men", which had multiple...

Marvel Girl = Jean Grey. Ms. Marvel = Carol Danvers (a separate character from the Marvel universe). And true, the X-Men history is so very convoluted that it's almost impossible to really get in on the ground floor unless you happened to read the comics in the late 1970's/early 1980's...

Okay, random thoughts on the film: The Wolvie-Deathstrike fight was pretty comical in spots because only those characters (with skeletons laced with Adamantium and healing powers) could fight like that, you know, that Timex style of fighting: "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking". They were...
