X2 Trailer (otherwise known as Kick Me In the Jimmy!)

[John Crichton]

Now, I haven't seen DD yet but I will see it this weekend. I did happen to catch the X-men 2 trailer just now. I wasn't all that hyped for the movie until that little crummy Window Media Player file finished playing on my monitor. The action looks great and the plot (centered around Logan?) seems interesting. I never really read the X-men comics but this flick looks really entertaining! I liked the first one, even with it's flaws, but I thought it was a solid flick. But this thing looks like it will really up the ante for superhero/comicbook movies.

And it has my favourite Xman of all time, Collussus, in it! Yay giant people made entirely of metal!

I'm such a sucker for trailers...

I saw DD this weekend, as well as the X-2 trailer, and all I can say is seeing the X-Men trailer on the big screen gave me chills!!

Now, I'm not an X-men reader (as mentioned) but I felt quite similar as I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It really feels like they captured the characters and brought them to life. I can only imagine what a long time X-men fan thinks of it. Now, I don't know if anyone here is one or not, but I'm interested as to what the readers of the comic book feel as, I am not one.

As a fan who read it from the late 70's until the early 90's I ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVE IT. The first movie did it real justice, and nailed the characters right on the head, even if they didn't follow the story line faithfully. To me, the important thing of a movie is to capture the feel of a franchise, because capturing it exactly is impossible to make a successful movie.

The continued focus of "race relations" is a great way to keep the films grounded enough to keep the average movie goer interested - after all, it was this statement on "special and different" that Stan Lee furnished in the 60's that made it so groundbreaking then, and so popular even today. Problems between different groups will always remain - and the dream of something like Xavier's school for the gifted, where people came to understand their uniqueness and how it could benefit themselves and others, is a dream that will always remain just beyond the grasp of humanity.

In this respect, it's analogous to Ed Greenwood's Myth Drannor - an unattainable goal that sparkles with the promise that it WAS ONCE attained.

End of Fan-gush.

The nightcrawler stuff did look cool...

I think it was the combination of all of it that really hit home. All the great characters onscreen in such a short period of time.

The preview on the X-Men 1.5 DVD is really nice too. Different things to see...but, alas, still no Angel. *sigh* Am I the only one that loves the original Angel instead of the new-and-improved Archangel? Granted, Archangel is cool..but..he's...not...well...Angel!
Going to be good though...heheh, comes out day after my B-day. And the X-Men 1.5 DVD has a free ticket. Bwahahaha!

Archangel was in the trailer? Got wings, right? I must have missed that...

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Oops, didn't mean to imply that. Nope, no Archangel either. Just that from what impressions I get, barely anyone even KNOWS Angel anymore and Archangel is the popular guy...*sigh* Just me complaining, nothing more.
