Lame As Hell Teaser For X3 Hits Online!
Hey folks, Harry here. The site for X3 just popped up, and they have a thing they're calling a Teaser on that site that is just lame as lame gets. I just really think Fox chose incredibly wrong with Brett Ratner. Of course, it's way too late in the game to pull the plug on the goofy "director" - right? I mean, can you imagine if they did the opposite of what Warners did on EXORCIST prequel - and pulled the plug on a shitty director and brought in a great director - rebooted from the beginning. Shitcanned their ridiculous release date and made a great third act to this X-MEN trilogy? Yeah yeah yeah, I know... a dream is a wish your heart makes. We'll just have to live with Ratner, I s'pose.
Hi harry !
here you can see a teaser for x3...
X3movie.Com
well... a teaser... hum hum.. thanks Brett Ratner...
Enjoy... Or not...

NOW!!!

That was so lame....or not. Overjudging fucks. Sorry he doesn't let you have a set visit and allow you to be butt buddies Harry. Ratner sucks ass, and so does this..."news"
-
FRIST YOU FUCKING WHEDON LOVING COCKSUCKERS.
-
I mean nay.
-
I just want to see something lame and cheesy...I like watching crap like Mannequin(I am serious) and just laugh at how bad it is...
Luckily I was really in the mood to see something cheesy and lame tonight...And I just satisfied my hunger by watching this silly trailer...pretty lame and funny even for teaser standards.
I am sure I won't be laughing when this piece of shit movie comes out next Spring though. -
I hope this movie comes out ok. Please God. Jesus please. Oh, it's too late too pray huh. Well Fuck you then. I have hope. Its faint but it's there.
-
was a waste of a mouse click.
-
Jesus, Muhammed and the Buddha all told me this movie will suck more than an old west brothel. Hope lost.
-
Didn't say it was a TEASER TRAILER - but if you watch while it loads - up in the top right side it says, "Teaser Trailer" - obviously there's no way that Fox would put that in a theater as a Teaser Trailer - it's only a "Teaser" for the site - and even as that, it's lame.
-
Ooooooooooookay then... I saw images that looked like part 2... some lame cgi wolvie claw...
Jesus christ Crapner can you do anything right? -
...that Wolverine appears in the movie. Yep.
-
yeah it's not even the teaser trailer...the studio said that- it's the teaser for the actual website that's coming later on. and remember when they had that lame as hell trailer for x2 with the danger room only?
hm...i dunno what bryan singer did to you guys- yeah he's a good filmmaker but-
nothing that we've seen from superman has made us go gaga.
all the pics of superman in costume look crap.
and some of the pics from x3 look crap.
let's just wait until the film comes out like we did when we all though the first x-men would be the shit to end all shit based on halle berry's wig alone.
haha like what i say here will matter anyway- everyone will go on with their own unfair opinions. but i'm still gonna wait until some official footage of the actual movie comes out before i begin to form my opinion.
here's hoping. -
...until I see it. My hope being, of course, that I will not have to give it up once I have.
-
No - the screenwriters of X2 are on SUPERMAN. The writers of this are the brilliant minds behind FANTASTIC FOUR. So obviously you're in "great" hands. Ahem. as for "juslikethawater" -- I'd love to be completely blown away by X3. I just don't hold out much hope based on the folks in charge.
-
So the same brilliant minds who changed Dr. Dooms origin are behind X3 huh. X3 is fucked methinks.
-
Rattner couldn't direct his own piss into a urinal.
-
Just to keep things in perspective, remember when the X2 site launched with a teaser, same deal, just a lame virtual fly through the logo and then panning out to X2, coming this whenever.
-
Yeah, that's lame, but it's like a clip and a half. I'm pissed about 'X-Men 3' too, but I don't really give a shit about this weird Flash teaser thingee they have on their site.
-
Even well after AICN ripped it WB was more than willing to move forward with it, and were for a long while, but directors kept dropping out, when they had directors they couldn't figure out a budget, if they did they couldn't agree on an actor, that probect was just a mess with no one in charge and fell apart on its own.

God, we're DOOMed again.

I didn't care for X-Men 1 too much, but number 2 blew my mind. They really set up for a potentially great cap to a sweet series. Too bad they've got Ratner onboard. Actually, I'm not even worried about Ratner as much as I am the dreaded Fantastic Four writing team. What fucking moron not only hired them for that movie, but also continues to think they have any grasp on superheroes. Kinsberg wrote Mr and Mrs Smith, and that wasn't terrible. By all means, let him write some more of those kinds of flicks. But keep his fucking stamp off of the X-Men! GRR! *end bitter rant*

I have a pretty hard time writing off X3 just based on that...
by greatwhitenoise
Granted, Ratner wouldn't be my first choice either, and the whole thing does seem like a very rushed up-yours in Bryan Singer's direction, but there's not a lot in that "teaser" to sway anything one way or the other, IMHO. Seeing how they're still buggering up the traffic patterns up here in Vancouver with their shooting schedule, I can't imagine they'd have much to show yet anyway. So this juror's still waaaay out on this one.
-
I will learn to type.
-
And then will rent it out to some frat guys in the summer who will trash it and not get their deposit back. Owned!
-
It seems descriptive of something.
-
Fun to watch!
-
Technically - Zak Penn was one of the writers on X2, spending a year of his life working on that. And Simon Kinberg didn't receive credit for his "work" on FANTASTIC FOUR, but his other work is XXX2 and MR & MRS SMITH - one I hated the other I loved.
-
im sitting there for ten minutes just downloading the fuckin page. then i have to download the teaser.- NOT.

Give it a rest, will ya. "Oh boo hoo hoo a lousy director is going to wreck poor Wolverine" COME ON!!!.... Harry,....... I love ya but..... get some perspective. I guarantee the day after X3 opens, the world will still be here.
-
...the use of Wolverine's claws to signify the '3'. Comes across cheesy and seems kind of obvious.
-
...drops out of Harry's two-bit project and the producers decide to hire Brett Ratner in his place, will Harry be calling him a "goofy 'director'" on this site or will he say "aaaaaaanyway, were soooooo exsited to get Btrett for this movie. I lurrrved his work on Rush Hour 1 and 2....."
-
That was just sad. There isn't a person in this chat room who couldn't make a bettr trailer. Jesus! "Hey Lets take a sound bite from X2 (because hey, it worked well in the X2 teaser, right?) and then show a fucking lake!" YEAH! Awesome. Even the CGI for the logo looked really bad, how hard is that shit? I am soooo affraid of this movie at this point. Ugh...

it hurt my memory of X2 to watch that

by darth bono jr.
And at this point, what difference does a crappy teaser make? The series is pretty tired, anyway. Time for a live-action t.v. series on Spike.
-
On the Official Site it says this film is not yet Rated. Maybe it will be R Rated. Maybe Brett Ratner will surprise everyone, and go in a darker direction with X3.
-
i haven't COMPLETELY given up faith yet... call me crazy, but i haven't. why? red dragon, mainly... it shows that ratner can film a good story, when he's given one, at least reasonably well. whether X3 has a good story or not is questionable, but remember, not the rat's fault. i've gotta say, i'm not a huge bryan singer fan either. the usual suspects has its moments, but it feels rather gimmicky and limited after multiple viewings. the first x-men was dull, origin story bullshit, like watching an episode of the cartoon or something... X2 was MUCH better (it arguably might be singer's best film), and it royally pisses me off that singer didn't stick around to finish what he started. still, that's singer's fault and the layer cake guy, who also ducked for cover. you can't blame the rat for everything... remember, the script is supposed to suck. this thing began to tank long before he scurried on board...

why the hate? it looks as crappy as every other pre-teaser...
by logofdoom
Pre-teaser should be a word, a lot of movies make these, I suppose they make good website introductions. I don't know anything about the director but, considering how little ise seen, I'm surprised to see a word like "lame" in your headline. All they show (essentially) is an animated logo... kinda hard to judge the movie at this point.
-
Its not even finished yet, the fact that its not rated doesn't mean anything. Anyways, Ratner has no say in what the film is rated, there's no way the studio will let this go out as an R-rated flick. Not that it needs to be R anyways.
-
Well said Chief Redcock.
-
Yeah I know, but all I am saying is that it is still early to judge the direction of this movie. Also, don't think that X3 can't be R Rated. It is very possible.
-
That was in theaters and it had less action than the one posted above. Ratner had nothing to do with the new teaser and you guys all whine about him. Give me a break. Not that Ratner will do well, but come on, stop taking every chance you can to hate on him. Its already a given that most of the people on this forum wont like the movie no matter what(and harry you aren't helping their pre-disposition either)
-
Call crap when crap needs to be called crap, but this intro was better than just a logo like that lame superman TEASER site.
-
Sorry, not even a remote chance, no way the studio is gonna take a comic book property like X-Men and cut out its teen audience. Plus I'm sure an R-rating forfeits a lot of licensing agreements with toys, BK kids meals, etc. Either way, an R-rating isn't some kind of unspoken sign of quality, PG-13 is just fine for this kind of stuff, no matter how dark the film may want to go.
-
but I just puked. Don't eat chips/fries(you crazy americans) from Frydays. Too much oil.
-
I'm glad to see you defending yourself, but what do you have to say for that awful Doom plant huh? I wish you would repsond to that instead of some nitpicking shit like this. Why did you let a plant review as obvious as that get on this site? Don't worry, I don't expect you to respond.
-
That was not a Trailer. This is not Worth talking about. Harry, as much as I agree that this movie is probably doomed, this story is unfair mockery and seems malicious. I mean, if we judged your movie projects by your website you'd be in big trouble. This is a non story, wake me up when the real crappy trailer we know is coming arrives. Cheers!

That was THE MOST AWESOME teaser I've ever seen! I mean DAMN, that lake was so cool...and the claws were the awesomest of all awesome things ever. Ratner's getting on my christmascard list this wear. He's ma homie 4 life!!! (BTW I'm not being ironic here *COUGH COUGH*) BOLLOCKS!!!!
-
when the old school fox saturday morning cartoon is better than your film, there is a problem. im not gonna blindly hate this movie without seeing a REAL trailer. it may in fact be better than expected. sometimes this site is odd. you get venom spewed on one project, and crazy love for another. like the way everyone was over the moon for the shitty land of the dead. but harry's fog review is fucking spot on. what a shitty remake.
-
This is proof that Ratner makes terrible websites. I hope he doesn't make the new Spider-man website. That would be bad. Ratner is apparently a terrible web designer. The X-Men 3 website is doomed!! Damn, why did they hire Ratner to design the website anyway? Wouldn't becoming a web designer would be beneath his stature. I think next time they should get a web designer to do the web site and leave the Director for the film....This may look like a website intro, but it says "Teaser Trailer" on it. Does that make it a trailer? Oh my look, its something brown on the ground...Looks like shit..Smells like shit...but there's a sign on it that says "cherry pie", would you like some Harry?
-
As a matter of taste...If you even slightly like that 90's Fox Cartoon, with its disgusting character designs, putrid animation and "everything including the kitchen sink" writing style, I cannot possibly appreciate your distaste of the Singer movies. The X-men Theme song to that cartoon alone, should have shriveled your balls. If you can watch that drivel and actually like it, my hat is off to you!! You're tougher than Wolvie!! Do you also think the 90's Spider-man cartoon got it "right", where Raimi went wrong? Is Rob Liefeld really just a misunderstood genius??? Cheers!!
-
I expected FOX to stay true to the high quality production of the first two (except for the flight stick in the Blackbird in X Men). But alas HOLLYWOODLAND has let me down again. I'm sure that the Wolverine spin-off(s) will come along and run this franchise further into the ground. The thing to remeber is the grosses are soon to be coming from more from overseas markets, the "dumbing down" is in the distributor's interest for a more paletable offering to European and Asian film goers. These movies aren't designed for the "Geek Coinsure" who demands logical plots with nubile vixens with half their tits hanging out of spandex jumpsuits. Nope this is about selling figures, T-shirts and Slurpee cups, not to mention the 3rd, 4th and 5th "windows". Fox will milk this bad boy as long as possible, heck it took 10 movies for Paramount to kill the Star Trek franchise, so look forward to at the very least 6-7 more X men films, yup gotta love HOLLYWOODLAND, they have it all figured out...damn I wish I was smart enough to work there.
-
It was a website teaser, not a cinema presentation.
Way to write off a movie without seeing ONE SINGLE FRAME of the film. But then Ratner's initials aren't PJ are they -
Why is everyone getting all pissy about some shots of a lake and a big X. Get a fucking life, you losers!!!
-
Harry.. you actually liked Schrader's "Dominion - a prequel to the Exorcist"? I thought it was just as bad as Harlin's version.
-
You guys spend all your time bitching about those idiots in Hollywood, but guess what? You're the dumbfucks actually watch these movies that you whine about on internet sites that are dedicated to their product. Like it or not, you keep them in business!!! Shitheads. I'm Sicuv Uyall!!

-
You actually liked that shitty cartoon over the movies? I guess plot was never really important to you. Shitty animation, lousy acting, endless explosions... that's all they were. The Superman and Batman cartoons were 20 times better than that piece of shit. I never was really into X-Men until the films changed my mind. Go buy the next DVD tie-ins when the next movie comes out and enjoy. Now shut the fuck up.
-
It looked fine to me. Nothing to get excited over but I liked it. I still have more faith in X3 than SR. I wish Singer would stop putting out stuff about the movie because with each video, the more I hate what he is doing.
-
Most of the people on this talkback should go out and make a movie. Or at least try to. If confidence and lack of humility equal skill, then I guess we have the next bunch of Spielbergs and PJs right here.
-
just like he'll fellate Kong no matter what. No one ever said this was an objective news site. I don't get what' so horrible about Ratner. Singer never did anything to indicate that he could do an X-Men movie. Jackson didn't have anything on his resume that screamed LOTR. It's too late for this film to have a fair chance with this site but that doesn't mean it's going to fail.
-
It was just showing a reminder of what's going on at the bottom of the lake. It was for people like us who know what's coming. It's really not that bad, because there's not much there.
It seems like Harry's going to rip on this movie no matter what. I personally think Ratner blows, but he hasn't done anything YET that has me concerned. -
...to make me feel any better about the way X3 appears to be going (and, like Harry, I really want to be able to like this movie once it comes out), I can say with the utmost confidence that unless they can Ratner after everything's been shot and bring in Crispin Glover to edit, there is no way X3 could be any worse than Rocky Balboa is going to be. Now, granted, that may turn out to be a case of not saying much about either film, but it definitely says something about the fickle nature of Harry's sequel enthusiasm.

by www.valiens.com
But you hate Bret Ratner and don't trust the writers so you've already given up on X3. Maybe that's for the best; maybe then it will surpass your expectations. In the meantime stop calling things lame just because you're expecting the worst.
-
So there wasn't much there. I get the sense that this was only posted to get in another tired "OMG Ratner suxx0rz!!1" comment.
-
...I don't understand what makes this worse than anyof the other preproduction teasers we get most of the year?
-
X3 site has lame opening animation! Who cares? No biggie.
-
because this is my favorite sci-fi property, and it would work a hell of a lot better as a tv show. It would be far more rewarding for Fox, and the fans if they went that route. Let's face it there is waaaaaay too many characters to cover in the films. Six seasons with a Wolverine trilogy on the side. *sigh* It'll never happen though, Fox wants their returns now, instead of building a long running franchise. Just look how they fucked Alien, Predator, AVP, Planet of the Apes, just to name a few, and you can add X-men to that list next year. Oh and by the way, weren't they supposed to release the teaser trailer for X3 in December? Wasn't it supposed to feature a mutant jailbreak from Alcatraz? Didn't this very website report about it? Or am I mistaken?
-
But no, I don't keep Hollywood in business. I see very few movies in the theater compared to what I used to and that trend is growing in the US. Box office sales are way down an Hollywood's getting the message. Of course they refuse to acknowledge it and will blame it on anything other than their movies sucking but they'll catch on eventually.

The talkbacks are the only thing that save this biased website.
by frodosblueballs
Why all the hatred towards X3...it doesn't seem justified if you ask me. You haven't seen shit yet, but you fuckers keep complaining about it b/c Ratner isn't a fanboy. You know what else he's not....gay. Singer sucks. X1 was horrendous and X2 lost a lot after repeated viewings. It seems to me like Harry has some vendetta here, which is fine and he's more than entitled to b/c it is his website.
-
Everyone else uses it here. How could you think I was serious? I still disliked the films. Sue me. I don't get all pissy about them. I am just to the point that both of them were really underwhelming so I am not really anticipating the 3rd so much. I also don't get how overrated the films were. I expect more, better even especially since you can do alot with the Xmen films. And the look of the films suck. Nothing great or anything that makes it look like a real film. For 135 mil, X2 looked cheap. Which brings me to King Kong. I thought they hired Jackson because he could do alot with a decent budget, so why do I keep hearing Kong is hovering pass 200 mil? And there is no need to get all angry here. At the end of the day, these movies are made for kids.
-
with the X-men 3 film print. Ratner should go back to directing hip-hop videos or another Rush Hour.
-
This isn't even an actual teaser trailer...what's there to get so upset about? If this was the website for King Kong, and all it featured was a quaking earth and then a foot stomping the ground, followed by a swooshing CGI logo (I hate these) you'd all be going insane for it. I can't say I have any faith in Ratner, and the rumors about the plot/character deaths have sounded really, really bad, but give me a break...there's no way in hell you can judge this film based on the opening animations of a cheap official website. Get a grip. And what was so terrible about Fantastic Four anyway? The performances were really quite decent, and the whole thing was fairly charming. I'm not saying I forgive the completely off rendition of Doom, but overall it wasn't such a horrible sci-fi/comedy film. It could have been a hell of a lot worse, and its success means we'll get a much better sequel...is that really so bad?
-
You're entitled to your opinion on x1 and 2 but i don't see your point about Singer sexuality..ian mc kellen is gay too you know and a lot of a great actors and great directors too...Something Ratner is not ( untill proven otherwise)and it's not just the opinion of Harry ..
I find funny that when harry has a "negative"opinion he has of course a personnal vendetta ..
Harry is not the one who make comments about somebody sexuality as an argument for his distate about somebody's work you know..
-
Dammit, if F4 gets a sequel ( Which they shouldn't! ), Hulk should. Better yet, How about Universal and Fox team up for a Hulk vs. Thing flick, with a CGI Thing this time. ( I'm sorry, but Thing kinda reminded me of those orange marshmellow peanuts .)

"everyone responsible for fucking this movie should be infected with AIDS and ebola"
Single greatest thing ever said in the Talkbacks! Hahahahahahahaha! Man, that made my day. As for Singer....fuck him. With X1 he singlehandedly (or the writers, or whoever) ruined the Wolverine/Sabertooth factor by casting a dumb fucking half mute douche as Sabertooth, thus destroying the eloquently savage and cunning character that resides in the best issues of X-Men. What do we get instead? Wolverine fights Sabertooth in possibly one of the lamest fight scenes ever and then fights a chick. He had at least 5 movies worth of kick ass cat and mouse games built in with Wolverine and Sabertooth, but nooooo they go and fuck the dog. Next up, X2 where they make Wolvie fuck the shit out of the invading force at the X-Mansion, but then slap the panties on him and turn him into a fucking pussy against the INCREDIBLY lame Deathstrike all to satisfy the Asian 12 year old boy portion of the audience who all wish they were in fact Asian girls so they could wear the fancy costumes and shriek in an even higher voice like Sailor Moon. We get a gay ending to that fight where the little bitch Wolverine only wins because there is a hot hose present and sticks it in her. SO fuck singer, and if Ratner fucks this movie I hope he DOES get ebola and runs and tongue kisses Singer too. Then they can go hop on a plane to Eddie Moneys Paradise and start a Leper colony for shit directors with Paul Waste of Space Anderson as the head moron in charge. -
Irony isn't dead! Brian Singer was great and I was pissed to see him jump ship for StupidMan. He's a talented director though so maybe he can make StupidMan actually interesting. You know FrodosBlueBalls and every other lame ass preteen homophobe, this is a new millenium. Deal with Brian singer. Deal with Ian McKellen. Deal with Portia Rossi. Deal with gay couples in public holding hands. Deal with Gay Marriage. Of course I live in liberal Portland Oregon and not on some podunk farm in Arkansas so of course I would feel that way. X3 could have some good moments but it's so crammed that they'll only be on screen for a few seconds. NO Nightcrawler but they can have Multiple Man?!
-
it's b/c the MOVIES suck dick...not the fact the HE sucks dick. And come on Vncentfilmerset you don't see how wierd it is that this site is hellbent on flaming on X3? Almost every article about it is how lame it is...how much Ratner sucks...how great Singer is...blah blah blah. All I'm saying is that it seems a little fishy to me.
-
... the same way conservatives defend what happened at Abu Ghrab (spelling? eh, whatever). Sure, Brett Ratner may not be that great of a director, but at least it's not Uwe Boll, right? RIGHT? Eh, i just got up. Leave me alone.
-
Us rednecks sure don't like dem gays. I live in DC homo. There sure are a lot of gays here and I like gays...maybe a litte toooo much, if you know what I mean. My post wasn't about Singer being gay. You take one joke and you think I'm a gay basher. How about if I make fun of asians and their "wierd eyes" and "tiny penises". Does that mean I don't like asians now?
-
Solid Snake himself, David Hayter wrote the screenplay for X1, yes it did blow, and yes he royally fucked Sabretooth. Hopefully they will correct that mistake if the Wolvie franchise takes off. If they had to go with a pro wrestler for that role, they should have went with Sid Vicious, he had the right look, and damn near close of a personality to Creed. If he and Gary Busey ( The non crazy version, well...maybe the crazty version would work. ) had had a kid, it would have made a great Sabretooth.
-
Damn, I'm talkin crazy. I've gotta get some sleep.
-
Well , i see that Ratner is almost universally bashed.
So does that mean again that Aicn is just one piece of a conspiracy?
Come on those guys love movies , do you really think that Harry , and moriarty want this movie to fail?? -
......on the one hand, you have Bret "the Rat" Ratner directing it, so normally that would imply major suckage...........but on the other hand, Harry's already unsheathed his fangs and deathrays for this baby, way too early (What's wrong Harry? No gift basket yet?). And we all know how far Harold's opinion usually goes (Domino, anyone?) vis-a-vis, movies' prospects. The fact that Harry's in fullswing dumping mode for this movie, might actually portend great tidings for the movie. In recent history, any movie Harry has slammed, has gone on to moderate or great success, while movie's he's fellated, have been certifiable disasters and mostly forgettable crapfests (Domino, anyone?). I'm not saying, that X3 is going to be a masterpiece just because Harry's slamming it, but then again FF4, wasn't the exactly toxic pile of cowdung that Harry and AICN conditioned us to expect. (Domino, anyone?)
-
aicn has always defended the Xmovies..
But yes they are wary of marvel choices for some times (like a lot of people) and that's understandable..
The Punisher? Elektra ? the FF?
you may like those movies , but you can't say that they are the proof that Arad and co are daring...
Somebody can find the Singer xmovie boring , uncreative , but they were ballsy..they could have been just mortal Kombat movies you know..that could have been so "easy".. -
I'm not the biggest Ratner fan, but to be honest I don't hate him. I enjoyed the Rush Hour movies for what they were and don't see any reason why he can't do an X-Men movie. As for Harry and Mori not wanting this movie to do well. I don't know about that. Those two are trying to get into the movie business and it seems like there might be a conflict of interest there and the constant Avi Arad and Marvel bashing does support my "conspiracy" claims.
-
Well , thinking about it again no somebody can't say that Singer was uncreative Lol yeah again, it would have been easy to go the mortal Kombat way you know..

I'll be curious to see how AICN reacts to Spiderman 3
by frodosblueballs
Will they continue the Marvel bashing or will they give it fair coverage??
-
Well , let's say that it is the case , how do you explain again that x3 choices are almost universally hated And by places even more "respectable" than Aicn?
-
well , now that you talk about it , i don't recall Aicn bashing spiderman 3 production yet.
Why? Because They have no reasons to do it..
now if Raimi is fired and replaced, by let's say Paul Anderson ,if the shedule of the movi is ridiculous it will be maybe another story..
you see Harry telling that he doesn't like a lot martin cambell , does that mean that he is trying to give bad press ti the Brocoli?
Well he like Daniel Craig..
as he likes some of the choices of actors for x3.. -
and let's not forget please that the choice of Vaughn was liked here..
sorry , really , when you add facts , this conspiratcy thing is ridiculous.. -
Let's stop now before we turn this into our own Aquaf@g talkback like that fag TrevorFactor. **punches himself in the groin for making another gay reference** YOU ARE GAY TREVOR....GAY!
-
I don't understand what you are talking about..we were not talking anymore about that..
-
Nevermind...you didn't get it.
-
yup
but i do now , i did my research;)
-
I understand this site isn't suppose to be "news" centric, and there is a large editorialized spin to the information posted, however...I feel that lately the ratio of opinion to news is becoming top heavy. This article is a great example...we all know that this link, whether a prelude to a new site, or a splash page, etc. is not the teaser trailer they are going to show in theaters, and the fact that Harry posted it with such a relentless pounding, especially given that he says he wants it to be good, is really quite astonishing. There's not even any real footage in this thing and Harry blitzed it. The ironic thing is, I definitely agree about the opinion, in regards to my feelings about how Ratner will handle this thing, but if we want to be truly optimistic about something, can we at least wait until their is something tangible before we set the hounds loose? God knows there was plenty of tribute and praising done for Serenity on this site before there was any footage. Just putting out a call for a bit of fairness. We love the opinions and editorializing, it's what keeps us coming because we love to argue movies, and we love to predict what things will look like, but let's not lambast the film itself before there's even any footage.

HUGH JACKMAN IS ROLAND!

What a great teaser, but I wish you would have put a ***spoiler warning*** before the video link. Now I know X3 will feature both a lake and some trees.
-
While on this subject, The Dark Tower series is one that could NEVER be put to screen. EVER. Not even a miniseries could do it justice as it is far too complex in it's metaphorical direction, it's nuances and it's strangeness to bring across faithfully. As hard as LOTR was to bring to the screen, this would be a hundred thousand times harder...

Actually x2 was a little better, but still not great. I am glad that Singer is not working on the movies. He did the first two and they were ok, at best. Let him go make a ok, at best superman movie now and maybe then people will start to realize that he is an average director on a good day. Ratner is in the same catagory. An average director. What do we expect for a comic book movie, Ang Lee?

Amazing work AICN staff...

X3: Reunion, the space trading computer game that is. X3 the movie looks like the same pile of crap as the last X-man movie.
-
...I'd say it looks like Harry's already made up his mind about X3.

Why all this stupid pre-hate? Just wait for the damm movie, and
by mrfloppy
Yes, I don't trust in Ratner too, but at least, I'll wait to see SOMETHING.
Zach Penn worked in X2 too. -
Went out to a movie last week, here in Vancouver - where X3 is filming. Sitting in the row behind me was none other than Magneto himself, Ian McKellan. Pretty cool, I thought, but I am not the type to fawn over a celeb -- especially when he seemed to be enjoying a quiet night out with his partner. Anyway, the first trailer comes on and it was for "Everything is Illuminated" starring none other than little Elijah Wood! A surreal moment. The next trailer featured another of Sir Ian's co-stars -- Anna Paquin. If there had been a trailer for a Brendan Fraser flick in the mix, I would have totally lost it.
-
...he also took his writing crew with him. And maybe you're glad they're gone too. But they're better than Simon Kinberg (and Singer is better than Ratner, for that matter; just because some crazy shit doesn't happen in every frame doesn't mean Singer doesn't know what he's doing behind the camera) and, unlike Singer, Ratner probably won't do anything to supervise the story. He'll just take whatever toilet paper they give him and film it. But whatever. Fuck Singer, you're glad he's gone, no Sentinels, bring on Ratner, action, yadda yadda yadda. Just don't act all surprised when you hear lines like "I have a magnetic personality" or "Didn't your mom ever tell you not to play with fire?" riddled throughout the script.

by silver_joo
There are some shocking moments which also seem like a waste of characters in X3's screenplay but I still think that this film will play and feel like X1 and 2. I'm sorry but Singer has very few touches that distinguish him from any other director for hire in Hollywood. Ratner is a better director of action - there, I said it - but if you watch the last third of X2 it is sloppy and muddled because Singer can't coordinate action at all. This does not bode well for Superman, particularly when that movie is on a serious scale. I imagine Harris and Dougherty have just ripped off the Supreme Power comics for the money shots in the Superman films, saves on the storyboards! Ratner will do alright, you'll not know the difference so I think AICN should shut up. Yeah, you can tie yourselves to the good ships Raimi and Jackson, but the Spiderman films are eneven and patchy and King Kong looks like Dino-fucking-Topia or some other Hallmark-esque abomination.
-
Loved Redbox's take on this. Obviously this had nothing to do with Ratner. But Harry's post somehow blames Ratner for a 10 second website intro. Yeah, that makes sense. Obviously this film will never be given a fair shake on this site. We'll just have to accept that and move on.
-
Whoa, so Ratcrap can direct action better (apparently). Well that's great, but that doesn't make him a better director. And this meme that Singer's a mediocre director because you can't "distinguish" his style from anybody else's is insane. If I showed you a Spike Jonze movie, would you know you were watching one? How about a Curtis Hanson movie (and if you say "yes" to both, you're a lying sack of crap)? I don't think Ratner's direction will make the movie bad so much as the script will, but that's something it should be Ratner's responsibility to oversee and he just won't, which is why Fox loves him in the first place, which is why it sucks that he's directing this movie. As for Kinberg's re-writes: Kinberg "touching things up" probably means that the story is more or less the same, only now with those horrible, horrible puns that he crammed 'Fantastic Four' and 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' with because there must be levity, and if you can't find any in the situation, manufacture it with some self-conscious dialogue that's not even funny to begin with. Fantastic.
-
Singer and crew weren't devoid of lines like that.....least we forget Storm's famous Toad and lightning line....
-
No, they weren't, but they were at least few and far between and probably the result of too many cooks in the kitchen (and "have you tried not being a mutant," while lame, is nowhere near as bad as the puns like "Do you want to walk around on fire for the rest of your life...?" in 'Fantastic Four'). Kinberg will probably stick twice as many into 'X3' as were in 'X-Men' and 'X2' combined.

I'm getting a headache....

The animation of Harry's head exploding on this website...
by ace hunter
...is the trailer for John Carter of Mars. And based on this trailer, the movie will suck. Same rationale Harry is using. But "Rocky Balboa - Beating a dead Italian Stallion" will be a masterpiece!
-
We're fucked. Totally, 100% fucked.
-
... Hmmm. Let's just forget this and live on. On the other hand, I watched Rattner's After The Sunset past weekend on DVD and I was pleasantly surprised by it. Nothing spectacular, but if it has Salma Hayek in one of the leads, I'm there.
-
There's not enough here for me to feel anything either way. Great - a lake. However, I think that the Wolverine claw III logo was pretty cool. I'd want THAT on a t-shirt.
-
I was the first to say first in this talkback. The only person that's more of a loser than a firstie, is a cuntrag such as yourself that takes time to get made at someone...over TEH NET :D:D Dapper cunt. OWNT you failed at life.
-
Ha. What a joke.
-
i don't really believe this. as an experienced movie buff, i think that x3 is gonna be a blessing in disguise with the fantastic 4 screenwriters and COME ON! WHAT THE HELL WOULD IAN MCKELLAN BE DOING IN A GODDAMN VANCOVER MOVIE THEATHER WATCHING EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED?! i saw ben stein on rodeo drive 3 years ago. i almost flipped shit.
-
The director has a shitty track record and the writers are responsible for one of the shittiest superhero movies ever, surely it isn't too much of a leap to believe that the movie is fucked? "Harry has an opinion on something! Oh, no!" The fact that these guys actually give a shit about movies is the reason I keep wandering back here. I'm interested in their opinions whether I agree or not. Should Harry not be allowed to have one so as to not affect box office takings? On another note, this movie does look like it's going to be incredibly shitty. I'm not sure I've said 'shitty' enough........ shitty.
-
I cant wait to see the Juggernaut: "fack, if you takes me 'elmit off im facked!"
-
He's in Vancouver 'cause they're shooting X3 here. He was in the movie theatre, I suppose, because he wanted to see a movie. The film was actually Thumbsucker. Everything is Illuminated was the first trailer before the feature started. I can tell you that Sir Ian seems to be the type of actor who likes to be part of the community when he's on location. When he was here shooting X2, he went jogging daily along the seawall, put on a one-man show to raise funds for a local theatre company, starred in a low-budget film by a local director and even appeared unnanounced at an opening night screening of The Return of the King, giving a little speech. I think it was even at the same cinema where he took in Thumbsucker. So he's not some isolated Hollywood asshole. He's the kinda' guy who goes to a movie, buys a popcorn and a tub of Coke and mingles with real human beings.
-
Frickin' awesome. That just makes me like Ian McKellen even more.
-
Yes, he seems like a cool and down to earth person. My only other public X-men sighting occured during the filming of X2. I was with a friend who was working on lighting for the film. We were walking along the beach and I saw this dude with the weirdest haircut I had seen in my life. I couldn't help but stare. My friend pointed, leaned over to me and said, "Hugh Jackman's body-double." Sir Ian was a little cooler than that.
-
I imagined Viggo Mortensen. But that's just me. Out
-
Thinking over the dates, it must have been a screening of The Two Towers at which Mr. McKellen made his impromptu appearance.
-
they'll probably change the origins established in the other films. Wolverine will be an American industrialist who's powers are the result of an unfortunate accident. Or a cosmic shower during a trip to the space station he's bankrolled. And Magneto grew up during WWII...in Japan and his powers are a result of Hiroshima.
-
If he can't get him to do Rush Hour 3, maybe a bag of cash and a shiny Apocolypse suit would get him off his sofa. Of course they'd have to be a no Chan clause in the contract.
"Ya'll tremble befo' da might of Apocolypse. Do you understand da words dat are comin out my mouf?" -

Somebody up there said something about a live action X-Men TV sh
by mortsleam
So I'm gonna bring it up one more time today. You've got four years worth of storylines out of the original Uncanny X-Men issues alone. Then after that, a huge cast overhaul, the introduction of Storm & Nightcrawler & Wolverine & Colossus, and the possibilty of six or more further seasons, plus a Law & Order type spin-off with the introduction of the adjectiveless X-Men "Blue Team". Until the ridiculousness of House of M and No More Mutants and whatever the fuck Marvel's thinking, that is. I need to own a television network.

For a website...

... but didn't that last thing remind you of that scene where Wolverine gives everybody the Middle Claw in the X-Men after setting off the metal detector?

by shermdawg
They both film/filmed there. Also, If Chris Tucker makes a cameo in X3 as Bishop, I'm walking the hell out.
-
How about the greatest movie director of all time, Joss Whedon. He can come in and polish this turd. He's done so much remarkable work over the years, like...um...give me a sec....
-
Strangely, yes, I do have a Smallville encounter. I stood in line behind Kristin Kreuk at the drugstore once. My only other random geek celeb moment was spotting John Rhys-Davies hailing a cab. That's two of the Fellowship. Two out of nine. I did also see Patrick Stewart and Bryan Singer but that was when my buddy got me a tour of the X2 set -- so they weren't random public spottings and I didn't count them earlier. None of the other stars were around -- except that Pyro guy, but I got to sit in the X-Jet.
-
Was it the old, sexy as hell "cute" Kristin? Or was it the new, sexy as hell "anorexic" Kristin?
-
It was about a year ago -- so I guess that's the more recent "version." She's a tiny little woman. Cute AND sexy, I thought.
-
Harry said, "Didn't say it was a TEASER TRAILER - but if you watch while it loads - up in the top right side it says, "Teaser Trailer" and that's just not true.
The corner says, "Teaser Site" and then you roll over it and it says, "FULL SITE COMING SOON"
As far as I know, NO ONE has say anything about a "Teaser Trailer". It's just a lil intro to the lil site.
Harry, I like you and your opinions a lot. If you're ever in Charlotte, NC, shoot me an email. I'll show you around and buy you a drink. :)
For my two cents though, I think we have another "Batman" on our hands. 1: good
2: better
3: WTF?
4: Holy shit, kill me.
Hopefully, Shane Carruth (who will have made his "Memento" by then) won't have to step in and pretend the whole thing never happened.
-JH -
We got good Batman and Fantastic Four movies this year. We got two good X-Men movies so far. We got two good Spider-Man movies. A good Daredevil movie, and next summer we get a great Superman movie. So X-Men 3 will suck. Who cares? Let it. Other then Hulk and Elektra we've been getting a lot of good stuff lately. Hopefully New writers and director will be hired for X-Men 4 and they can clean up Ratner's mess. Just buy the Batman Begins and Fantastic Four DVDs and let thier goodness calm you. And next summer when you walk out of X-Men 3 annoyed just remember that in a few weeks Superman will arrive and make those bad memories go away with his Super-good-movie-ness.

by adolfoliver
"Dreamer" will be shit. "Garfield 2" will be shit. "Rocky 6" will be shit. It doesn't take a proctologist to figure it out. "X-Men 3" will be shit.
-
I get this shit everyday. 'Hey, why did you hang out with those green macqaue monkeys?' 'Hey did your internal organs fall out?' Well, my internal organs did fall out okay? If it happened to your you wouldnt be laughing. Its not so funny when all of your skin falls off you know?
-
when ebert and roeper give thumbs down to a shit movie, they don't worry about the actors, writers and everyone who worked so hard on this would-be masterpiece, they care about the good people who spend their cold hard cash to see the movie. yes, we got good x-men, hulk, batman, daredevil, fantastic 4, stu-dent and spider man movies and yeah, i guess it's a little safe to say that x-men 3 will burn in hell and then we get a glorious superman movie over a month later, but that's something else.

deedle deedle deedle... ominous whine/drone... (hmm this must be some kind of compooter thingee! compooters are scary)... WHOOMP! (whoah! something fell down weally hard!)... KAAANG! (metal on metal! must be some sort of melee or slugfest! wow!) BOOOOM!!! KRANGKA!!! SHAAAK!!!! WOWOWOW!!! (trees? a lake? what the fcuk?)...silence... (whats up with all the silver flying around? huh? what? oh, right, it's an X... seems reasonable since they're XMEN and all... oh, and theres wolverines claws... so what is this movie about again?) in a word: WHATEVER. [btw, who knows how this will turn out, every single person on this site is going ot be there on opening day regardless so stop pretending like you're gonna boycott... seriously, it's ridiculous...]
-
... "good fantastic four movie"? Seriously, lay off the bong. I'll take Hulk over that mess any day. Though I agree that Daredevil is a decent flick.
-
I have to admit that after watching the first X-men movie, it already looks dated to me, but I've sat through X2 probably 3 times and it doesn't disappoint. What will disappoint (ok, do I even have to finish this sentence?)

Gotta love polar bears...
