We have more X3 pics for ya'! Give 'em a look!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a couple new pics from X3 courtesy of our humble and kind spy "Ur A Loser." I haven't seen these pop up anywhere else, yet, so this may be super special story! Anyway, you get a full look at Juggernaut's front... which is a little worrying. I'm hoping they'll touch up those muscle suit wrinkles with CG before the film hits theaters. I could see something like that ending up really distracting. I must say I like the arms, though, so it's not a total botch-job in my eyes. The second pic is of Colossus and Rogue taking a breather during a battle. I sure hope we get more steel Colossus than we did in X2. I'm expecting to see the big shiny lug smashing some heads. Anyway, here are the pics! Enjoy!

Wow. And I think I may be first.

Men in suits pretending to be characters that are meant to be 100% larger bothers me. If the CGI would be on the level of say "The HulK", Juggernaut could've been the badest marvel villian ever put on screen. Instead, we have Vinnie Jones in a muscle suit. Give me a break, and give me something i'll want to watch more than once. (both x-films are completely not rewatchable)
-
I just finished reading the movie review from the other thread. I have to head back over there to see what folks are saying. I thought it was a great analysis and I've even more souped now to see the finished product come this spring/ summer. I am very interested to see how this film comes out given all the activity and "issues" surrounding this production. I don't want to be too quick to judge so I wait "guarded" until I see this final cut. Peace.
-
the juggernaut design still isn't doing it for me. i'll never make up my mind about a film from a few advance photos, but so far this one's not really inspiring confidence.
-
A bunch of new characters showing off, too much CG, and painful character moments that don't work which try and legitimize the whole thing. Damnit, and X-Men was going so well! www.unseenfilms.com
-
Let me say that I am a fan of the first two X-men. I thought the first movie was ok but served as a good launching pad. I thought X2 was absolutely awesome and one of if not the best comic movie ever. Certainly one of the best. My worry with X3, if that reviewer from the other thread is correct, is the continuity. I thought one of the biggest flaws with Blade Trinity for instance, was that it was a total departure from the mythology of the previous two, i.e.- in Blade Trinity vampires were getting their butts kicked by humans, etc.. My hope for X3 is that it's a progression from the previous 2. It's ok to go in different directions with the story but make sure to remain grounded in what came before. It's provides continuity but ultimately, it provides space for character/ story development and a natural well to take from to create a rich(er) story.

Wolverine cries through the whole movie? Lame. Storm's the main character because she won an Oscar?
-
the gimp from Pulp Fiction finally took his mask off, eh?
...oh wait, that's Vinnie Jones. Or Daniel Cudmore. They both look like unfortunate victims of S&M style... -
I would love to hear the X-men cartoon theme song in this new movie.
-
As if there weren't already enough mutants, the gimp has to turn up in X3!
-
Nemesis wasn't that great...it wasn't as bad as Insurrection, but First Contact pw3ns all.
-
Which is a shame, the first two were pretty good.
-
if cudmore is in human, non-steel form for the whole damn movie, i'm going to be VERY upset. i don't wanna see fleshy colossus, i wanna see metal colossus. non-steel colossus is worthless.
-
Sorry, but that getup looks rather like an S&M costume, or something one would find in a stereotypical portrayal of gays. On top of that, it just seems...weak. Juggy's supposed to be covered head to toe in his armor--but maybe CGI will be used to fill it out. And I have to agree with most...I think this will pull a Vesuvius and BLOW BIG TIME!

Looks alright but forget that ish. KOBE BRYANT'S INSANE MAN
by r.c. the "wise"
I guess the Lakers are using an isoceles triangle for the offensive scheme.
-
Yes. I'm impressed--it's not every day that someone scores fifty, let alone 81, but it was against the Raptors, people. Had it been against the Spurs or Pistons, I might be a little more excited. Kobe can put up monstrous points all he wants, but until he learns to share the ball--and the spotlight--he will never win another championship. He's got what he wants--he's the only scoring option, he's got the fame all to himself--and his team is struggling in the playoff hunt. Great move, Kid Of Big Ego--run Shaq out of town, just so you can be king of the playground (or as a Stephen King character once said, King Shit of Turd Mountain).
-
Ridiculous! He's not wide, he looks fifty.
-
The reviewer stated that Rogue's hair was striped white on the sides in X3, not in the front, like the previous movies. Well, that picture with Colossus seems to infer that her hair is pretty much the same as before. Anyone disagree? I haven't seen the movies in over a year, so maybe my memory's a little foggy. Besides, that reviewer was so vague it had to be made up. And they didn't refer to anything specific outside of certain character deaths we'd already been apprised of anyway.
-
Who cares? It won't matter when his team squeaks into the playoffs and is quietly swept in the first round...then again, they might not even make the playoffs. Kobe is a grade-A jackass! Nobody plays defense anymore anyway, so what does it matter? He'll never be Jordan, no matter how many records he breaks.

Some people are weird.

Looks like a scene out of Mad Max.

I have trouble taking that seriously. However, with the exception of Magneto, Death Strike (who while visually interesting was nothing like her comic counter part), and Mystique, the X-Men villians haven't exactly been that memorable - I felt Sabertooth was a little to mentally retarded, and didn't really give a damn one way or another about toad. That said having Juggernaut in this film makes little sense considering that he isn't a mutant. Not that I am stating that absolute adherence to comic continuity is key - I just don't get the point of having the character of Juggernaut appear when he isn't even recognizable. There is a shit load of characters in that series - you would think they could find someone that they could adapt to the screen in a more interesting fasion. What I am more concered about however is how prominently Halle Berry is being featured in the trailer. She is one of the most annoying elements in the first one. Did she finally complain loud enough that weak willed studio execs caved or did the writers think that her portrail of Catwoman was brilliant?

Is this the same dude from Lock Stock and the rum adds? He's pretty fuckin beef cake now, eh! I pretty sure it's not a rubber suit. And I KNOW it's not CGI. Also, can anyone prove to me that the transformers test footage was fake. I JUST CAN'T get past it. Oh, and X2 will always be second rate to X1. Super tornadoes, recycled story and reflections on our previous films adventure my ass!! I look forward to Ratners take on this shit.

81 is no joke. He'll get 100 by the time he's done.

by dogsoup
Schumaker killed Batman for a while and Ratner will now kill the X-Men franchise along with Cyclops, Chuck, and possibly Mystique. Bring in a visonary like Darren Aronofsky and then you might be able to save it. Fuck them both for Schutnering up those fucking movies.

a) Juggernaut looks stupid. Should never have had him in the film
b)Now maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Colossus is Russian in the films. That's a shame. It always went well with his powers. And it goes well with the idea that Prof X's school is open to all nations, races etc. -
However my biggest concern is that they cast a girl with a forehead large enough for Galactus to stand on to play Kitty Pryde.

Is the arms actually do look good, they could have saved themselves a ton of grief by just giving the guy a shirt of some kind, but by insisting on this goofy S&M wear we're pretty much forced to notice it.

Warner Bros. Killed Batman, and it went something like this: "We can't let Tim Burton make Batman, it'll be gay like his last 2 movies!" "Wow, we gotta get Burton back for another Batman... What? He doesn't want to do it?? Nonsense, give him all the money he wants" "Burton really doesn't want to do Batman 3?? Well then tell him he has to control the director of his choosing" "Wow, Batman & Robin really picked up Batman and sent it off in a totally hip n' happ'nin way - get Shumacher in here right now, he's making Batman 4 right away." "WHAT?? Schumacher doesn't want to make it? Call in the big guns, we gotta get this film made and HE WILL COME BACK AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!" "Wow, i just had an idea for a new Batman film... remember how we kept getting snippets of Bruce Wayne as a child...?"

81 freakish pts is telling of Kobe Bryant's X-treme narcissi
by chishu_ryu
...and his "all about me" attitude. It makes one think that he really did rape that girl in Colorado, run Shaq out of LA, and talk trash about Karl Malone. What a great role model for the youth of America, what a great team player. "Give me the ball! It's my ball! It's my team!" Though stunts like this give Kobe what he wants, a bit of the spotlight, I suspect, in the end, this will get the Lakers nowhere. Incidentally, those X3 images make the film look like some post-apocalyptic video game. Methinks it's a shame that Bryan Singer moved on...

by calami-shami
He obviously looks distressed. It would make sense to just boot up smash yer wau out of there. But no, that's a special effect and would just confuse poor little ratner if he hadd to actually think how to film that. What a fucking punk.
-
...how there were a bunch of folks who thought Singer moving on from the franchise was such a good thing because at least Ratner couldn't possibly "gay up the X-Men any more." Why do I think that's funny? Because Juggernaut does, in fact, look like the Gimp without his mask on. Yet folks will still go on and on about how the new Superman outfit looks homoerotic. Oh well. As for the quality of this film, I don't hold out a whole bunch of hope based on what I've heard of the story, but I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

i mean just look at those wrinkles in that suit. those wrinkles that are hardly noticable are the main reason this movie will suck. just imagine what titanic would have grossed if leo would have been in a big wrinkly muscle suit. as a fanboy, i wish they would have done juggy completely in CG. and if they would have done it CG i probably would have complained that he looked to cartoonish. cuz as a fan boy i naturally just complain. and rogue's hair looks...different than it did before. different? i won't have it. every frame of film and every CG'd pixel needs to look exactly like singers. cuz singer's x-men are the only true rendition of the team. i love the way he never focussed on them as a team. and wolvie and iceman and rogue's personality from the comics has been completely dropped for the singer movies. and i want more of the same. i won't except different. not even a stripe on rogues head being moved over and inch and a half. not me. singer is like jesus. but cooler and gay. and we have a picture of flesh-colossus? will someone please CG that up please? i can't stand to see the that...skin. i want colossus metaled up the whole freakin movie, i want him sitting metal, i want him running metal, eating metal, sleeping metal, crapping metal, and if not then why even have colossus? surely not just because we love the character? ef that. and don't get me started on ratner. it's not like he was handed this movie two weeks before filming started and given less than ten months to complete the task, and anyone who blames anyone else who rushed the production, worked on this screenplay, the costumes, and any of the sets before ratner even thought about doing this movie, is out of their mind.

"We don't neeed to know the waaaay hooome! All we want is what's beyooooond...Thunderdome!" Um. Sorry. ANYWAY...are those fake biceps? They look kinda plasticish compared to the lower arms. And I think they borrowed that fake torso from Ricardo Montalban in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."

I remember when X1 was first coming out, and pretty much everyone thought that looked like ass too. Thankfully we were wrong. I'm not saying the same will happen here, but I see no point in tearing down an unfinished film.

I hope they intend to dress him up with CGI. Nothing against the man playing him but Juggernaut is supposed to be ridiculously huge and in that picture he is not... That fake body looks humorous at best. I feel so bad for the actor. He must know he looks bad. Unless, the picture is from before he became Juggernaut? If so, then we have nothing to worry about, but if that is the all powerful Juggernaut
-
...blame where blame is due: Whedon wrote that atrocious line of dialogue and Berry thought she could deliver it with gravitas. Singer probably gave her several takes to get it right and then just said "Fuck it...this bitch can't act."
-
Wow. You know it's times like these I realize why studio execs and various other suits seldom take us (and our respective complaints) seriously. Vinnie Jones, who arguably is adept at playing a hench thug (if nothing else) is being compared to the gimp from Pulp Fiction of all things. It's a bit much. Still, I think it's a shame when the craft that is supposed to add to the illusion in film, distracts from it. Can't we just say it looks fake or for that matter bad?Everytime I think of any one of us trying to explain what the Juggernaught is *supposed* to really look like to a costume designer I can almost see their respective eyes glazing over. But even if our every CG fantasy were to come true, I don't think anything could save the story here and that remains X3's cardinal crime.
-
Killing off Chuck, Cyke, and Mystique. Wolverine crying and taking over the school. Halle Berry being the main focus of the flick. Virtually no Rogue. Stacy X. Ram Man. No Nightcrawler. No Gambit.I saw X1 and X2 on opening day and even though I was hesitant, I still was going to see this....fuck it though. I'll just go read my Grant Morrison,Joss Whedon, Chris Claremont X-Men comics and write this pile of shit off as a waste.

For the love of god people just give it a rest. No one has seen the film and peoiple are bashinbg it to no end. FOX doesn't give a phuck what we think. I for one think it looks good. Yeah I'm going to be pissed as hell if indeed it's true that Prof X dies along with cyke(I'm expecting his though)cause their is no reason to kill off core characters. Hell that killing shyt doesn't even work in the comics for major characters, so I don't know who's bright iudea it was to kill them off in the movies. Will the X3 e good? Maybe, Maybe not, but i'm going to wait until release day, and not bash and blame Ratner. Singer wasn't that damn great any way.

by the founder
I don't know why all the Ratner bashing. The guy was brought on board for one purpose, and that's to shoot the movie and nothing more., Ratner may have had some say, but it wasn't much considering the time frame. I don't know why poeple seem to forget who the writers are for X3. Simon Kinberg and Zack Penn is it? Both of whom has not impressed with none of their past works. Penn hasn't done much for, but Kinberk has been involved with the F4, which was the charazters in spirit, but in story it was less then Fantastic. A Reed Richards that didn't even give you the impression that he was the smartest man on earth should tell you something. XXX2, Catwoman and Charlie Angels 2 are some more turkeys with this Kinberg's guy stamp on it. Mr & Mrs Smith was enjoyable, but I wans't blown away buy it. The point I'm making is that pople need to look at the writers and stop focusing on Ratner, cause like it or not Ratner is a decent director and he will shoot a good film if the script is good.

Who knows how good or how bad this film will really be until the flick actually comes out? Sure, some of the stills look like crap, but I remember ancient days on this site before the first X-Men movie came out, and a bunch of test photos of the X-Men actors came out with them in their leather costumes. The photos looked like shite, and there was this huge uproar over the leather costumes and how the movie was sacrilege and was going to suck. Then the movie gets released to general acclaim and much fan enthusiasm. Suddenly, most of the people who were bitching about the costumes and how much the movie was going to suck were generally silenced. I am not saying the next movie is going to be any good--it might suck badly--but I have to say that recent history shows that it is often tough to judge a film before you see it just based upon stills and such. A lot of it is often just a tempest in a tea cup. Besides, some of the photos I have seen look OK, specifically the ones of Famke J. as Phoenix. So, maybe the movie will suck, maye it will be merely mediocre, but maybe, just maybe, there is some chance it will defy Internet speculation and turn out to be a decent X-Men film. Stranger things have happened. Just one man's opinion.

I think this movie will be ok, if not they should burn down Fox for being stupid and prolonging this fucking flick. if it looks cheese this will burn. I really hope not though, Rattners ok, people should lay off him.
