Also, I would think that the very fact that Juggernaut said "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" would clue you in to how ridiculous this movie really is. Fazum'Zen Fastfist fucked around with this message on 05-27-2006 at 11:29 PM.

What matters is who will direct the next movie and whether they convince get some of the unhappy cast to return.
In the Marvel universe, anyone can come back to life as many times as the writers require.

If I don't have to pay for it, maybe. Though I did feel the fight scenes in this one were kind of lame, so even then it might be a waste of my time.
I do would like to se a retro X-Men movie. Using the founding members fighting the Brotherhood of Evil. I don't think it would happen.

Remember when Kait thought Batman and Robin was the best Batman movie because George Clooney was the "epitome of perfection" as Batman.
Good times.

For an action/adventure movie it's very good, but my inner geek hated it. Everything I knew about the X-Men is wrong in this movie. There are too many things are wrong with this movie. They ignored Juggernaut's relationship with Professor Xavior. They also forgot the fact the the Juggernaut is not a mutant. At least it wasn't bad as "Batman and Robin".I do would like to se a retro X-Men movie. Using the founding members fighting the Brotherhood of Evil. I don't think it would happen.
It's because they're using all of the Ultimate storylines now. That's why Venom will be a little emo pussy in Spider-Man 3 also.

I do wonder how the next movie will turn out though. The so-called cure isn't permanant but the guy that created it is still alive. But a good portion of the interesting mutants have been killed on both sides, so...

Actually, the storyline in the series is some bastard hybrid of Ultimates and 616. Trust me, the Ultimates storyline doesn't suck the ass that the movies do.
Though Juggernaut did start as a mutant in Ultimates, he has since collected the Cyttorak gem.

He also killed Gambit, which made me immensely happy.
The only reason Gambit didn't appear in X3 is because some loser from LOST couldn't make the production schedule, due to his LOST commitment.
I still say that everyone should die/retire after X3, leaving the inevitable sequel to the younger generation of mutants. Give me Beast leading instead of Storm any day.
Then give me my dream team of Iceman, Colossus and Nightcrawler. BUT OH WAIT, ONE'S PISSED OFF AT THE SHITTY DIRECTOR AND ANOTHER HAS HAD FOUR LINES IN THREE MOVIES. 
It's not something people hear about.
I still want to know what the deal is with the Mighty-Morphin-Bondage-Mutants costumes. Black leather and yellow for Wolverine, Black leather with White for Storm, Black leather with light blue for Iceman, Black leather with...PINK!? for Kitty Pryde... Ugh. Give me a break.
I want a CGI Beast, I want Colossus better sorted out, I want Kitty Pryde either made less of a whiny teenaged girl or out, I want Nightcrawler back, I want Iceman back. I could give a flying flip about Storm, I'm sick of Jean (Famke Jansen, while hot, seemed to be doing heavy doses of valium in the last two movies, now that I think of it), and while I was just starting to like Cyclops, after his whiny "Not everyone heals as fast as you, Logan!" scene in X3, I want him gone. I'm SICK TO FUCKING DEATH of The Brotherhood. Magneto is a badass, but I'd like to see him be a more subtle force. Mystique, hotty, is depowered for now and no longer an issue. Pyro...dunno. Actually like him more than I ever did in the comic.
I want to see The Blob. And I want to see more mutants with freakish appearances. Leech was not some bald kid. I want to see Juggernaut (assuming he survived) squaring off toe-to-toe with the Colossus.
I want Angel to be Archangel. Except I want it to happen at the start of a movie in a modified "Mutant Massacre" scenario laid out by Sinister, who is working for Apocalypse, to start weeding out the weak. Apocalypse then takes Angel (and whoever else) and turns them into Horsemen and starts screwing with them. Except I don't want it to be absolutely clear whether or not Apocalypse is real or the creation of Sinister's deluded mind (sort of like Ultimates, but with 616 evil bastard Sinister).

Wtf was with colossus spreading his metal like a thick paste over someone else to protect them?
Anyone else notice Mystique's backup was a LOT less detailed than previous movies and her CG transformations even more so?
All in all, an ok action movie, so many little errors (Day changing to night instantly, wolverine's shirt repaired after being stabbed the second the scene changes etc.) but not AS bad as I feared. Still not up to par with what it could have been sadly

Colossus was touching Rogue. She was duping his power when he touched her. You notice he was touching skin? Yeah. Though I admit it did stop me for a second at the time before I realized who it was he was touching.

ACES! Another post by Lechium:
Is it me, or was the scene with the bridge completely unnecessary?
Computer geeks need to eat too.
Delphi: Juggernaut and Phoenix's origins are both far too involved to condense into a 90 minute movie that already got stuffed with so much plot that it rolled over and became no plot. They're the least offensive drastic changes made in X-3, I don't know anyone who cares too much about them with all the other bullshit that went wrong.

Just a query. Wasn't Jean supposed to be taken over by an alien entity thing to become the dark phoenix? I only have to go off the mid-90s cartoon, but they never mentioned anything about her being more powerful then the professor or some such crap.

in the very end after the credits...it shows a female Dr enter a hospital room, she checks in on the patient then we hear Prof Xavier's voice say,"Moira" and she replies "Charles?" so, this is Dr. Moira MacTaggart and Prof Xavier has transferred is mental being into this man. Leaves it open to sequal of course...especially with the fact that Magneto could start moving the chess piece even if it was slight..showing only temporary cure (at least in some cases). Almond fucked around with this message on 05-31-2006 at 09:19 AM.
Remember when Professor Charles Xavier was giving the lecture to the students about their poweres and abilities and he had them watch the guy in the hospital bed? He talked about ability transferring if they had the power to do that and what benefits it could have and the ethics of it, etc etc?
YES, in the original comics, Cain Marko/Juggernaut is powered by magic. And he was a significant threat to the X-Men in and of himself (up until Colossus they didn't have any "tanks" in the party; closest thing they had was pre-fuzzy Beast). But you can't easily introduce magic into the series they have going, so they opted for a mutant origin. Juggernaut started as a mutant in the Ultimates storyline for much the same reason, though he has since grabbed the gem of Cyttorak.
YES, in the original comics, Jean was an avatar/host for the Phoenix Force, an entity of destruction and rebirth. In the Ultimates storyline, they're playing things coy. Xavier insists Jean is schizophrenic, and the Phoenix is just the voice she hears now and then. Thor seemed to be insinuating otherwise, but since Ultimate Thor may or may not actually be a god, he may or may not know what the hell he's talking about. Seems like Ultimate Jean Grey is using the Phoenix power pretty openly these days.
Jean's always been a more powerful psychokinetic than telepath. Prof X is the most powerful telepath in the world (save for Nate Grey "X-Man" from AOA when he arrived in the 616 universe), but Jean's by far the most powerful psychokinetic. Which begs the question why Prof X didn't just turn her mind off in the movie, but of course you can't do that. PLOT POINT. Ugh.

Sad thing is, since his death wasn't technically CONFIRMED (like how we saw Xavier get atomized, kinda like how they don't really confirm Juggernaut's "death") they will probably find an excuse to bring him back.
