The continuing adventures of the superpowered group, the X-Men, led by Professor Xavier, and based at his school for gifted students, as they try to foster good will for mutants like themselves, in a world where some people are born with extraordinary powers, and many ordinary humans fear them for it. I'm looking forward to its release!  |

I am sort of looking forward to this one. My sister and brother are more fans than I am, though. Wolverine is a big part of why I like this series. Not only does Hugh Jackman play him, but he's a great character by himself.  |

I can't wait!! This one finally has THE BEAST. He has always been one of my FAVORITES!!! I think that choosing Kelsey Grammer for the part was right on. Even if he is a bit scrawny. Then again Hugh Jackman is a bit small for wolverine but could you really see anyone else in that part either?

Jackman is the best I've seen in this movie. All the characters in this movie have fit their parts. That makes this series of movies even better.... |

Me too, it's the only comic book franchise I've enjoyed, apart from Flash Gordon that is.

X-Men has good characters and an interesting conflict. I'm also happy that they're wearing dark leather in the movies, instead of bright spandex - that has always been my problem with superheroes: I have trouble getting over what they are wearing. I just can't take Superman seriously. Not when his costume makes me  In spite of that, I adore Spiderman. It's a nice blend of comedy and action and a little bit of drama. I like it because it's tongue-in-cheek. Now Batman, he takes himself way too seriously these days. Some people think the seriousness is a good thing though, and I guess I can see that side to the argument, but I prefer the 60's series... |

Larry I want to watch both "X-men one and X-men two" I will do that right before going to see "X-men three" (Wolverine is my ALL TIME FAV) I have always liked him I guess cause he's a lot like me very head strong and quick to act.. (SHUT UP)  (Larry of no ice cream for you and no fried taters.)  |

I am in total agreement.. I reall enjoy the funny phrases Robin comes up with during the show. They make me laugh but the morals of the show are great for raising children in this nasty day and age. I think my fav charcter in "Batman" was Riddler, played by Frank Gorshin and next the Joker played, by Ceaser Romaro

OK, you guys. Based on all the high praise I've been reading here, I went out and bought the first X-Men movie. I'm not into action movies and had never even heard of X-Men before joining this group. The only reason I bought it was that I need an "X" movie to play the "Movies You Own A-Z" game at GAOH. So all I've got to say, people, is, this better be good!! |

I just got back from this movie and I have to say, OH MY GOD!!! If you are a fan of the movies, it is a must see. I laughed, and cried! I have to say Kelsey Grammar was THE pick for THE BEAST! I Stayed for the entire movie, credits and all, ( thanks TC for the heads up on that) there is a MUST SEE at the end of the credits. They need to make at least one more thanks to that little bit! GO SEE IT!!!!

Excellent movie, wasn't it, Gina!!!! Don't you recall that MY initial posting on Friday was also, "Oh My God!!!!"?   Anyone who hasn't seen the movie, and wishes to see it, you MUST stay AFTER all the credits have run on the screen, because a surprise awaits you!!!! ;D ;D It seems like a lot of movies are doing that nowadays.

Sorry for reviving a topic that's been dead for more than two months. . . but I just saw this movie for the first time this weekend, and I agree with what everyone's said. . .I liked it a lot! I hope there'll be a fourth one, too. Glad they gave Storm a bigger role, though that is probably mostly due to lobbying from Halle Berry. |

Yes, this was an excellent, fantastic movie! And Angela, I don't worry about necro-posting here (reviving old topics); that's not a problem. Actually, that's better than starting another new topic on the same thing!  |

Love the X-men movies. Haven't seen this one,yet. If it's anything like the last ones,great. Thanks for letting us know about the credits. We sit there,just in case. Like Sweet Home Alabama. It showed you what happened after the wedding,in photos. |

Hope you enjoy it when you see it, Liz!
I wish they'd had more about Scott, though. . .he wasn't in it that much, and he didn't do much in X-Men 2, either. Ah, well, maybe he'll get his time to shine. I'd like to see the backstory for Storm and Scott, as thus far in the movies we know virtually nothing about their past. (I've never read the comics or seen the cartoons or anything like that. . .)

We didn't stay till the end of the credits, my impatient horror doesn't believe in sitting through credits (although I had persuaded her to for The Producers) please don't let on what happens as we plan to see it again, this time with a box of tissues.  Well it is worth seeing again. Just stay for the credits....... |
