X2….

Saw it, loved it.

It is time to finish what we started all those many years ago, back when this plastic prison still seemed cutting edge. Charles...are you ready?

No. Not now not ever.

Charles...you promised. You promised me that, someday, we would match wits again. Just because I'm a convict doesn't mean there's shame in your eventual defeat. So many would consider us equals, Charles. I know you can't stand the comparisons any more than myself. Let us put all theories and doubts to rest -- it's time to crown a champion between us. Choose your sword.

NO, NO NO NO. I've told you a thousand times - I'm not playing that game.

You will.

I won't.

You will.

I won't.

You won't.

I'm not falling for that old trick.

What in God's name is going on in there? Guards, hit the magic button that sprays debilitating mist in the prison. I know one of the buttons must do that.

OUT!!! GET ME OUT LIKE TROUT LIKE TROUT GET ME OUT.

Why is he freaking? There's no way 'Magneto' can cause him any harm in there. I hate these old bats. Now where's that mist?

LIKE TROUT LIKE TROUT LIKE TROUT!

You're a chicken, Charles. I was going to let you be the red piece, too.

I totally agree about Rogue…it’d be great fun to see her all juiced-up like she is in the comics and the cartoons. Trouble is, they’d have to introduce Mrs. Marvel into the mix so Rogue could siphon out all her tricked-out powers and whatnot. That is, if they wanted to be true to the comics and all, and it’s been proven already that they don’t mind fuckin’ around with the X-lore a little. Also, if they wanted to stay true to the charater’s roots, Rogue ought to be a little more slutty. But now I’m nit-picking…

what’s amazing is the price has only gone up $1.25 in 3 years!

Chestnuts roasted by nehi @ 05/05/2003 9:27 PM

Thats one thing the 2 Xmen movies have over the comics.

NO FRIGGIN GAMBIT.
(And barely any Cyclops, which is also a plus.)

Then again, my 2 favorite mutant teams were Generation X and Excalibur (original team).

No Cyclops, no Wolverine, no Gambit..

All the losers stayed put in the other books and the wierdoes and more interesting characters got to play.

(Plus Rachel Summers was a much cooler Pheonix than her mommy ever was. And in full body spiked read leather too..)

Rather see Longshot, but since his rights are all tied up in his own (never gonna happen) movie, I suppose Gambit is a reasonably acceptable substitute.

BTW, other names on the list (aside from Erik Lensherr and Remy LeBeau) include Jamie Madrox (the Multiple Man), Everett Thomas (Synch), Keniucho Harada (Sunfire), Garrison Kane (Weapon X), Artie Maddicks (Artie), Xi’an Coy Mahn (Karma), Maximoff [2] (Quicksilver & the Scarlet Witch), Kevin McTaggert (Proteus), and Dani Moonstar (Mirage).

And yes, I have waaaaay too much free time on my hands…

Chestnuts roasted by The Lucky One @ 05/06/2003 10:28 AM

I’ll be so happy if they just leave Gambit out of the movies. There are already too many girls going nuts for Wolverine. They don’t need more fuel.

Did anyone else laugh when Cyclops and Wolverine were crying over Jean? I had to bite my lip so the other people in the theater wouldn’t kill me.

Chestnuts roasted by fangirlx @ 05/06/2003 11:34 PM

Mmmmm Nightcrawler. I swear I almost cried when he was a bad guy in the beginning.

And no they won’t do Dark phoenix. The creators have already shown a dislike of any actual DEEP history of mutant powers. So I assume that Jean will just develop flaming psionic powers.

Ooooo Apocolypse = Archangel for sure. That’s going to be something cool on the movie screen. Lots of flashy steel wings killing everything.

I LOVED the movie… but personally I was a little disappointed that Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) was not developed further ~ I think they jumped the shark with her character as she was portrayed as a teen in the 1st movie (in the classroom phasing through for her textbook) and a little girl in this one. Other than that it was great and I look forward to the next installment…. they will definitely introduce Phoenix, why else would they bother to put the symbol in the water?

Chestnuts roasted by Me @ 05/07/2003 5:17 AM

In the same scene with all the names on the computer, Mystique looks at another screen and sees the file about Cerebro. Directly to the left of that file was a file labeled: Franklin Richards. For those of you not in the know, Franklin Richards is the mutant son of The Fantastic Four’s Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards) and The Invisible Woman (Sue Storm Richards).
Yes I admit to my geekdom:)

It does my heart good to see that I am not the only person on the planet that obsessively hoards movie stubs for years at a time. Thanks.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 05/07/2003 3:44 PM

Who the hell is Artie and whats his power beside sticking out his lizard tounge? Who was the kid that doesn’t fall asleep? Anybody know of a site that lists all the x-men and there powers. Why didn’t Iceman change into ice? And is Longshot really getting his own movie, hes not that popular of a character. And put the danger room in

Chestnuts roasted by The Shiz @ 05/07/2003 6:40 PM

hey i didnt see beast’s cameo, where was it? and at the end how come iceman didnt just freeze all the water coming out of the dam? but i still loved the movie.

Chestnuts roasted by RagingCactuar @ 05/08/2003 2:20 AM

Hey, I save old movie tickets too! AMAZING! I think I’ve been keeping mine for the past 10 years or so, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one so I don’t have to feel bad.

I’m proud to say I saw all of the cameo’s, and even read a bit of that list of mutants on the computer screen the opening night, without hearing anything about any of it beforehand. GO ME! (thats so little to be proud of, but it’s still something)

the movie was very good!

Chestnuts roasted by Ryan @ 05/09/2003 12:33 PM

OK, call me a fool but I am not in any way familiar with the comics and did not catch any cameos so if you could please educate an ignorant..who the hell is Gambit, Beast and any other cameos that made there way in besides 1/2 a second on a computer screen. As well why the hell did Jean leave the damn plane when it wasn’t necessary? To make a dramatic sequel, so she wouldn’t have to choose between Cyclops and Wolverine, so the could have some pathetic male bonding moments at the end? Please educate..

Chestnuts roasted by curio @ 05/09/2003 10:39 AM

Here Curio, I’ll help you out. The Beast was a professor who developed really big hands and feet by accident, so he made a solution or something to get rid of their bigness. Unlucky for him, he grew blue fur all over his body. Looking like the freak he did, he went to Xavier’s school to help out, save the world on occasion, etc. His cameo was when the prison guard was drinking in the bar, before Mystique injected him with liquid metal. Over the bar on a tv screen you can see someone named "Dr. Hank McCoy" being interviewed. That was the Beast’s real name.

Chestnuts roasted by mattbowes @ 05/09/2003 12:27 PM

I’m a huge Gambit fan so I’d like to see him in the next movie. But what I haven’t seen mentioned are a lot of the villains. I think that Juggernaut or Mr. Sinister would make some interesting villains but that’s getting more into the far-out category. But seriously, I’m getting so tired of Magneto and the Brotherhood. I think the Juggernaut would be completely do-able but it really wouldn’t have a whole lot of plot. The Sentinels would also be a cool thing to introduce though I’m not sure how that’d fit (i’m not versed in Xmen lore, just watched the cartoons from the early 90s). Also I’d have to concur that somewhere along the line Rogue needs to get all her powers. But yeah, they definitely better introduce Gambit (and Bishop would be cool too) in the 3rd one.

Chestnuts roasted by Swordfish 2 @ 05/10/2003 1:14 AM

Of all the X-Men that weren’t included in this movie, Gambit would be the perfect wild card to introduce in X3. He’d do more good than bad if he was a part of the next installment.

Gambit would be easy to throw into the mix due to the fact that his mutant powers don’t suck, he meshes well with the other X-Men, and he has a thing for Rogue. His presence wouldn’t fuck up the plot at all either.

If your Bryan Singer (if he decides to direct X3), you get smart real quick and include Gambit next time.

Chestnuts roasted by IfellofMyBike @ 05/10/2003 6:38 AM

Hey,

first up, j’adore X-E, you and the new bloggy section.

I’ve seen X2 4 times in the last two weeks, I like it that much.

Little cameo hints I got?

When Mystiique is hacking Stryker or Yurko’s PC, before she clicks on Cerero II there’s a lot of other files. One as mentioned above, is Franklin Richards.

Two others were Operation Wideawake(The biggest sentinel initiative the US goverment ever tried) and Omega Red(Do I need to explain? ;)

Anywho’s, I’m off to try and revise and stop thinking about beautiful blue mutants…

With wonderful angelic symbols :)

Keep X-E going strong Matt, I adore.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt(Not the Matt, a different one.) @ 05/10/2003 1:05 PM

Hey, i loved X2 but i definitely would have liked to see more Colossus. He would have been way better than Iceman and Pyro. He only had like one minute in the movie, but it was a great scene. Also if the next movie isn’t the Phoenix Saga i would like to see Apocalypse as the new villain and an appearance by Archangel.

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 05/11/2003 12:25 PM

I happened to be upset that Gambit wasn’t able to grace the screen of the magical movie X2. I look forward to seeing X3 so I can see him take names and kick some serious ass. He better be played by someone cool. ok, look here, Gambit haters… i have something to say. You guys suck. Gambit owns all of your bones, ok? He has the coolest lines in the comics and the TV shows… do you know anyone else who can throw explosive cards at people? Come on, what a freakin awesome trenchcoat… and those red eyes, oo man. If I could be any one of the X-Men, I’d be him for sure. Go find some friends Gambit haters.

Chestnuts roasted by themightytangelo @ 05/11/2003 1:33 AM

Beast didn’t grow his big hands and feet by accident…He’s a mutant, and that’s his power. Otherwise that’s pretty much true. Artie was in the comics. He used to hang around Generation X.

I wonder is the horrible Generation X TV movie a part of X-Men movie continuity? What about that "X-Man" TV show that they had a little while back?

Chestnuts roasted by Rosy @ 05/11/2003 3:56 AM

Where’s the first X-Men Gremlins battle?

Chestnuts roasted by "MR. GAME & WATCH" @ 05/11/2003 11:47 AM

I agree with u themightytangelo
Gambit is the shit and anyone who doesnt think so needs to be clubbed over the head and drug 100 feet behind a car.
I definetly think him and beast will rule all ass if introduced in the next movie.
BTW GAMBIT RULES!!!!!

Chestnuts roasted by mutt84 @ 05/11/2003 4:03 PM

The Beast didn’t have big hands and feet. He was part of the original 5, he was just a big regular guy that had the abilities of a big powerful ape. His powers were getting out of control, so he wanted to cure it but made things worse and made him self bigger, blue,and fuzzier. Also can someone tell me who Artie is and his power, and what is Stryker’s son’s mutant name?

Chestnuts roasted by The Shiz @ 05/12/2003 5:42 PM

With a burning phoenix in the water the chances are 50/50 the next movie will be Hollywood’s version of the "Dark Phoenix". It’s a sure bet they won’t follow the comic book storyline (they never do…which is a good thing) Brian Singer (director) has one condition for X3: he directs something else before X3 and adds Warren Worthington (Angel) to the mix. From what I’ve read, he likes this character, and since he’s made a zillion dollars with both…I think he’ll get to add Angel. A blue Beast would also add a fun character…
