You're planning to see X-Men: The Last Stand this weekend, right? We expect most of you are. That being the case, apart from our regular reporting on the movie, IGN FilmForce now asks you to do one important thing. If you're an X-Men fan, you'll regret it if you don't! At the theater this weekend, when the credits roll, when the audiences begins to filter out of the exits... keep your seat. And then, perhaps, share this little secret with a few of your friends: the movie isn't over.

don't know how true it is.. but somebody oughta make sure.. lol
-
I will verify this tomorrow night after the 9PM show finish :P
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Edit]
OK, here's the deal after I saw the movie last night...
OMG!!! It is definitely worth waiting to see that scene after the credits!
Don't want to give away any spoilers, but IMO, the movie will satisfy some fans, and leave others wondering, WTF!?!?
[/Edit]
-
Thanks for the heads up disciple!
The guys at GAT THQ made a big lime down MovieTowne for this and waited till the credits were over for that scene.
Worth it, most definitely.
I see they mentioned COD 2 in the credits. Not sure what Call of Duty had to do with X Men, but I'll google that sometime when bored.
Great flick.
Time to start a spoilers thread for it. lol
-
Please do, because the big 6 cinemas dont like to run credits. I not paying $35 just to see the movie again for the ending.
-
Well after the credits roll, they flash to a scene of the brain dead guy laid up in a bed. Remember him from when Professor X was lecturing to the students??
Well the brain dead guy begins to speak to the nurse in the Professor's voice. Man pull an Orochimaru on we mc. Mind transfer no jutsu!

d nex once will hav new people an dey bringin bak Mystique an Cyclops.......no he aint dead
-
isn't the next story gonna be a focus on wolverine? they might have minor roles though
dunno if this was intentional, but durin a scene in the Blackbird, behind Iceman head, the seat was numbered 'PS 3' lol
-
^^^ I noticed that myself and thought " NICE one Sony, you sneaky sons of bitches".
Sly product placement, or coincidence?
-
ALthough X2 didnt have the whole Wolverine story, it was primarily focused on him. Hollywood not going to do another XMEN movie on Wolverine again, as far as they are concerned its been done in X2.
I would imagine X4, if they make one, will be the return of Xavier. Im hoping to see Dark Phoenix, but i doubt, it will possibly be the return of Maneto, Rouge probably fallout with Iceman and go do she theif work where she kill Miss Marvel and get her superpowers, i dunno how they going to give her back her aother abilities though.
Alyuh doh fine Paquin teeth kinda wierd? She hot otherwise though.
-
remember when he say dis?
Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, b!t*h!
dey take dat from the internet movie LOLOL
-
you WAYYYYYYYYYY behind the times boy Heady...o lord
-
I don't know about you, but Cyclops died like a freaking PACO in the movie.
Now, while we're on the subject, some people are theorizing that the people 'killed' by the Dark Phoenix aren't actually dead at all....they were banished to the astral plane. It -would- be a convenient way to bring back Cyclops and Professor Xavier (and Psylocke, if Hollywood agrees to give her a bigger part this time.) On the other hand, it's pretty much a wild theory, seeing as how Wolverine was clearly taking damage from the disintegration while approaching Jean. Sequelitis you say?! Maybe........
I enjoyed the movie, personally. Canon-wise, it's not all that great, considering that the movie got a few key things WRONG (especially with Juggernaut, with his cockneyed-British accent, his lack of connection with Xavier, and THE FACT THAT HE'S A MUTANT IN THE MOVIE.) Still, it fell into place with me, because I usually don't expect movies based on comics to fit canon anyway.
Now, on the Wolverine movie topic.....it seems to me that this whoooole movie was about him. He almost brushed off on me as the Neo of it...the 'one who can save us all'. Nice to see that Storm got a bigger part this time around, but maybe it was too much time. They might as well have called it 'X-Men 3: The Wolverine and Storm take over the whole freaking movie show!'
Kitty....should not by vying with Rogue for Iceman.
Not when Colussus is THERE, and doing NOTHING.
I was thinking that this was a good time for the movie to pay homage to the comics by bringing them together, but noooooo. Far be it from us to do something that would make the characters RELEVANT.
Ho, ho, ho. Speaking of which, anybody know just WHERE in the blue ballzacks did Colossus come from? And how he evolved into a key player for the X-Men? I swear, he turned from cheap cameo in X2 to supporting cast member overnight. At least they did the Fastball Special. Gleeeeeee.
One thing that totally redeemed it for me. Mystique. On the floor. NAKED.
Instant WIN, case closed.
....I'll give you guys a moment to stop rolling your eyes now.
......that'll do.
The girls were pretty hot, I must say. Anna is still the secksy, though that girl who played Kitty can polish this Outlaw's pistols anytime she pleases-ahem. Sadly, I still don't find Halle Berry any more attractive (BIG surprise) but I do have some more respect for her now. Jean with long hair = WIN, short hair = LOSE. Psylocke needed more screen time, yes, but that doesn't make her any less sexy.
I know she was only on the screen for two seconds.
And NO, I WASN'T LOOKING FOR ANY 'NIP SLIPS' IN THOSE TWO SECONDS.
....this time.
Now, as for the COD2 reference, I believe that Leech was playing it in his room. I could be mistaken, seeing as how it's an X-Box 360. Did COD2 come out for that? I think so.....
Well, that's enough of my incredulous ranting.
Time to go and get some sleep. Later, amigos!
-
......
You don't find Halle Berry attractive???
.......
-
While I thought x3 was a failure for the most part , there were some high points for me. For one I LOVED the piece of music that played during the "battle" between Jean and the Professor (which I thought was the best part of the movie). I just thought it conveyed the message well, also the different version of morealess the same theme was used during the Jean & Logan sequence at the end. In the end I was vex that I spent 50$ in snacks @ cc8 to watch X3 worse yet I didn't even see the Superman trailer in all it's glory, they showed the 6 month old TEASER!!! then I walked outside and saw the trailer playing on those little tvs and the arcade was closed....dammit. At least I can sleep well knowing Superman Returns ain't gonna suck like X3.

dude kitty is like 13 u sicko

lol @ rb.
Hoss, you need to spend some time watching truly shitty movies to gain an appreciation for the good ones.
Go and watch Ultra Violet, Daredevil and Hulk three times each. lol

like you forget where I working baego...I see shitty movies on a daily basis...Mansquito anyone ?
-
You don't find Halle Berry attractive???
To each his own, my friend. Halle's attractive to a lot of people, this I know, but I'm not really one of them. I do, however, have more respect for her as an actress, because she gave a decent performance as Storm in the movie.
dude kitty is like 13 u sicko
.......but she TOLD me she was 18....... O____o;;
Nah, I kid. I keed.
In the movie, though, I pretty much doubt that the actress was anything but 18, especially with the scenario she was placed in (namely, the relationship with Iceman, who's clearly 18-ish), which would undoubtedly cause a buttload of controversy. Besides which, she doesn't even look 13. Maybe 17, for the very least, but certainly not 13.
-
horse.. kitty practically SCREAMED jailbait......no.. LYNCH MOB..lol
i have fillings that look older than she did
-
rofl @ fillings that look older than 13 years
nice analogy
-
Sorry guys, i thought X-men 3 was the biggest dissapointment this year thus far. everything in this movie was wrong to me. yes there were a few good action scenes but the lack of plot development and character development hurt the movie bad. There are so many good actors in this movie that just didn't get a chance to act!!!
in my opinion X-men:- The Last Stand is FUBAR! (effed up beyond recognition)
-
dude kitty is like 13 u sicko
WTF .......................I almost cuss d CC8 guard fo not lettin meh see See no evil because ah too young......what does that mean.....I'm F'ing 15........So she can still be hott in my head...rite
Dah Wolverine movie....is it X4 or jus a movie on its own ???
-
Most likely, a movie on its own. According to initial reports, the movie is going to focus on Wolverine way before he became an X-Man. In that regard, I hope Sabretooth comes back. 1 line of dialouge in the first movie between the two does not an intense rivalry make.
-
Hmm..I wonder if it will be based on the Origin line of comics then...cuz that could come out good...if done right anyway...
-
13 to 15 year man u big up.
-
lol, shogun.
That is harsh.
You want them to cram 15 years of comic book character development in 2 hours?
It just cannot be done.
They made a damn good effort of giving us a piece of marvel movie magic within those constraints.
-
blah it turns out she is 19 irl but the girl i swear look 13
-
for the record- The Last Stand is supposed to be a conclusion, and for all who slow ie. no more crappy seqeuls.
Me a no about the Wolverine movie doh
-
it supposed to be a conclusion, but then y did they start so many new twists in the plot? In a conclusion u supposed to answer questions not make more. And I vex cyclopus dead cause im one of the very few people in the world who likes him more than wolverine. THEY KILL HIM LIKE A PUNK MAN!

baego baego baego.... sigh....
i tired of ppl using that argument to justify the atrocities that made x-men 3 a disaster. of course they cannot cram 15 years of story into a 2 hour movie. I don't know if you realize it but thats exactly what they tried to do and they failed. they writters of x-men 3 failed to realize that the x-men movies is now a FRANCHISE. as many of the members here on GATT have been discussing, there is more than likely a possibility of more x-men movies and/or spinoffs. as to why they decided to make the third x-men movie so final was very foolish.
X-men fans on this forum can all agree that the dark phoenix saga has to be one major story arcs in X-men history. Whether or not the writters of the movie chose to use the actual story that took place in the comic or decided to slightly change details to fit the movie is not the issue. The real issue is that the dark phoenix character was over shadowed by stupidity of magneto's foolish plans.
(krist now i'm can't stop...) it seemed to me that x-men 3 had a total disregard for what happened in the first 2 movies. characters that were defined and solidified in X1 and X2, all of a sudden changed, without any hint of it. Xavier, the mutant that stands for everything right and moral all of a sudden throws morality out the door inspite of fear? Jean grey who in the first 2 movies showed no sign of a split personality all of a sudden has one. and you accept it because "they weren't able to fit 15 years of story into a 2 hour movie"? That was never an issue in the first 2 movies. they were still able have proper character and plot development will still being true to the comics and just putting a new fresh spin on the "X-men" title.
to me, the more i discuss this with more ppl it seems that people are settling for medicor writting but great special effects and action scenes. I'm not going to lie, the actions scenes where pretty decent, but without good writting and story to back it up, in my opinion it was just shallow (just like a video game with great graphics and no game play). If you liked the movie cuz the action was great then fine kudos i totally understand that. but to say that they had to fit a lot of story into 2 hours is stupid. in the first two they went slow, took their time and gently carresed the story of x-men until it felt goood. in x3 they speed things up too fast and pre-maturely ejaculated on the storyline.
lastly i totally know that ppl have a difference of opinion but i think i do know a thing or 2 about movies as its the field that i choose to work in
SHOGUN OUT.
-
COuld it also be because of the cast and their interests?
Rebecca Romijn has started her series Pepper Dennis, we all noticed she was rarely seen in the movie. I am not an avid XMEN follower, i did read the Dark Phoenix saga though, quite some time ago, but still.
There is more to this than simply saying there was poor character development because of the director. Anna Paquin again was barely seen in the movie, and instead we see lots of Shadowcat, who was almost nonexistent in the last XMEN movie.
But i with Baego on one thing....once i see Halle man get happy. :):D
-
I thought they did well with the arc which they created for the movies. They tried to keep it as believeable as possible (even if it's fiction) and they held true to form. The evolution of the characters was enough and though they focused more on certain chars than others, I think they did quite well in ending the story for certain 'main' characters and though it was a bit saddening to see some of Xmen's most beloved characters come to an end, it was a fulfilling movie and definitely worth seeing.
PS was good to see Wolverine's healing factor REALLY come through for him apart from just making him a kiling machine.
-
I guess its all in how you look at it.....if you followed the Marvel X-men comics for years you'd obviously be disappointed. I mean alot of the characters were messed up and they changed the whole storyline.
But if you were looking at it as just a movie...well i guess you'd find it great. Personally i REALLY enjoyed it. I for one knew they could not fully follow the comic storyline, so i didn't go with that mind set.
To say the movie is absolute crap is unfair.They had some real cool parts....Like the whole scene with the house being lifted off the ground with Juggernaut and wolverine battling and the way Professor turned to wolverine just before he was disintegrated.
Or the way the 6 X-men stood up against a multitude of mutants ("no matter what,we hold this line !!!"), knowing they outnumbered and outgunned i mean .......that has alway been the underlying plot of x-men. The few standing up for right, justice and equality no matter the odds and no matter if they seem like traitors to their kind.
In my book the movie was good...one of the better ones i've seen for the year so far.
My only change would be i would at least let Wolverine get some from Jean...... i mean is long time he hunting down that. And i glad they take boyscout Cyclops out of the picture early...... punk bastard!
-
it....the movie didn't live up to expectations...and when u look at the movie in detail shogun was right in a regards...but i still can't figure out why they wouldn't postpone it for the original cast being singer* and those dudes from 1&2 to finish off a trilogy that he made a name for....
-
Well said Dread... but I disagree with the taking out Scott.. de man was a fundamental Xman from the very start, sure he's a boyscout but the man was also a symbol of dedication, commitment, etc. It was unfortunate imho that he ended as such... (esp as that leaves NO hope of a Cable movie... lol) but yeah it was a good movie. And as a fan of the comic and sure they messed up the chars a bit, but I think it's in keeping with the realistic approach. For those that don't know, Xmen was a comic founded on expressing the political and moral issues plaguing the US and the world over back in the day (see magneto==holocost survivor, Hulk==child abuse, Xmen (mutants)==discimination based on colour, etc). These movies are in keeping with those basic fundamentals and still deal with similar (if not the core) expressions of discrimination albeit mutant vs. Human. Ethnic cleansing all these things are tied in and though its not the same as the original, well I guess if you'd argue that, you'd also argue that the final fantasy movie "spirits within" was a departure from the RPG and was a FARSE... simpletons i'd say if that's the way you look at it.
-
True W1nTry i know Scott Summers is the symbol of dedication and commitment blah blah blah.......but there is one problem that will overide all else.......and that is his undying and vomit inducing love for Jean Grey.
Cause honestly now....think about it.....Scott doh have de belly....de testicular fortitude to do what Logan did in the movie. "Babes ah love you.....but you really f@#king up now!!" Admantium in yuh pweffum for you.
-
where Psylocke is in de movie?
-
Psylocke, believe it or not, was the purple haired Asian girl you saw next to Callisto (the tattooed girl with super-speed and the ability to sense other mutants) and Arclight (a.k.a. Prince) when Magneto appeared to the crowd of mutants in the ruins. She appears again in the laboratory, phasing through the wall (WTF?), right before they take Angel's father to toss him off the building. Close to the end when Dark Phoenix goes psycho, Psylocke is seen running away with Kid Omega, right before she is disintegrated.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psylocke
(Scroll allll the way down to the bottom.)
-
lol @ vomit inducing love for Jean Grey.
That fits in perfectly with Cyclop's boyscout character. Dedication to the cause and dedication to his woman.
I must admit that he is one of my favourite X-Men. That said I was impressed by the guys of the director to have him killed off so quickly. Likewise Xavier, even though he returned in some form.
Yeah Shogun, I catch your drift and it is a strong drift but for all the reasons others here have already said...it still turned out to be a good movie. Things could have been worse. They could have dragged us along by the testicles for 100 X-Men movies with a finale in the year 2020 a la Naruto.
-
yeah but baego they doin that already horse. cliffhanger ending? talks about spinoffs? you gettin what i saying.
If i had my way, x-men 3 would have totally been about apocolypse, featuring angel as the new x man and some what central to the story line. would have been good with the whole horseman of death arc, pretty simple. THEN make the next movie focused on the dark phoenix.
anyways i dun talk. we all have different feelings on this and i don't think they will be changed.
-
yeah, is good to get the opinions out in the air nonetheless.
not so much to change the other person's point of view, but to discuss the movie and share ideas/perspectives.
true at their still being potential for spinoffs and such. Either way an "ending" never stopped Hollywood before. They remake superman, batman, hulk, King Kong and "insert remade movie here"
Nothing wrong with that I guess.
-
http://www.superherohype.com/news/x-mennews.php?id=4329
They making a Wolverine, Magneto, a movie on the children, and a movie on Emma Frost. I read that there was a X4 confirmed by Fox but that's actually not the case yet. But the spinoffs all seem to be confirmed.
I thought the movie was awesome, depsite all the waverings in the adaptation, it made for a fun summer movie. Most of the movie-going population will have no idea how badly some would say they wrecked the characters. I mean how would you juggle all those characters in a two-hour film.
-
Personally i think the writters of the comic version scripts are quite talented so maybe they should try doing a rendition of the "rea;" story that we all know......btw it was cool but it needed some more characters like Gambit and Mystique died / was out too early...
-
waz de scene fellas!saw that spoiler dog.guess that means sequel coming out.that real gay dogs.later
-
Mystique didn't die, JD. Just got depowered, is all. And naked. Naked and depowered.
:)
-
lol @ naked and depowered
umm
I saw this finnally last nite.
Decided i would get a nice sleep before posting..
um, i never cuss so much in a cinema before.
I mean, jean grey is my all time favourite marvel character, so when the movie opens and the first thing yu see is the nice little culvert
and then yu see in the corner of yur eye, the mail box saying grey.
I nearly lost my mind, make real noise and everyone around was like ??? wtf? is just a mailbox and then the awesomeness of jean begins.
Iam upset they didnt include the REASON why jean's parents contacted the xavier institute in the first place. The murder of her mutant best friend (who could control water) by some stupid mutant haters and the fact that jean expereinced the pain of her friend dying through her empathy, thus sending her slightly mad and releasing tremendous amounts of her power.
After the beginning of the movie, a spiraling assault of suckage began.
THe only two things that i will give this movie props for, are that, they allowed, for the first time, people to see the extent of jeans power in animated form, in the comic we know, but in the cartoons and tthe movies before, she was a this weak damsel in this distress,steups.
THe second thing i give them props for, is the fact that we get to see a truly awesome spread of heroes, it was like omg thats so and so, and thats that person, and look over there thas this person, i was going mad identifying people.
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
OTHER THAN THAT, THIS MOVIE WAS ^%^&!!!!
HOW DE FORK DEY GO MAKE JUGGERNUT A MC MUTANT! I REALLL CUSS!! I NEARLY WALK DE FORKIN MOVIE!!! STEUPS!!
they over played wolverines healing factor. He doesnt heal that quickly with the adamantium in him, as everyone knows.
Oh yeah, BEAST WAS AH FREAKIN BEAST!! W000T!! lol
i mean i could point out a zilliiionnnn stupid inconsistancies and annoying plot changes that just had me like steupssssssssssssssss whole movie.
But what i wanna talk bout, is the POSSIBILITIES that could be ignited by just that 30 second ending, oh yeah and the fact that magneto is getting back his powers... cant beat the magnetosphere can yu, lol.
Anyways, xavier transferring into the other body, being tended to by moira omg!!
Could we be seeing a legion in the near future???
Secondly, the fact that they didnt REALLY kill xavier may hopefully mean that they didnt really kill scott and jean either!
Like how in the original story line, when they thought that jean was really dead but it was really the clone of jean created by phoenix, called madelyn pryor. So jean could be alive as the true phoenix, still in the lake(which should be ny city habour but whatever) and scott... unfortunately could have been transported either into a pocket universe or into the future sorta along the original story line.
We MAY have alot to look forward to if the directors and writers were actually being creative.

http://revision3.com/geekdrome/2006-06-05/media
Here's a podcast with a really good review on the lower points of the movie.
-
Is it just me...but anyone else notice that the cameo of kitty pride in the second movie...is not the same person in X3?
Secondly.... How was it Leech was playing game....isnt his powers supposed to shut down ALL energy fields? Sight...its just so sad..
IMO, if they were to do any storyline in the marvel universe, and actually stick to it and get it right, it would have to be the "House of M" saga, they dont need ALL the storylines....but the general one. It would be soo cool to see so many mutants at the same time!
-
1. Yes. In every movie, a different actress has played Kitty Pryde.
2. Mutant powers, man. Mutant powers. I believe a context it was defined by was 'mutant energy signatures', so I could see the confusion there.
3. Good idea, but bad timing. To have House of M, you need to have Scarlet Witch and the Avengers involved, as well as a host of other pivotal characters, and that might be introducing too many characters too soon and at the possible risk of having the 'Annihilation' effect (characters just being in the movie for the sake of being there.) Way too soon in the franchise to think about that.
-
Interesting mix of the dark pheonix saga, rise of apocalypse and age of apocalypse (with the latter bieing the least influence)
-
2. Mutant powers, man. Mutant powers. I believe a context it was defined by was 'mutant energy signatures', so I could see the confusion there.
Well...i watched it again..and yea they said that in the movie, but Leach's powers stop ALL energy fields arround him...atleast tahts what i remember...but oh well...
And as for the house of m, I honestly dont expect to see that onscreen...atleast not anytime soon at all! All I was saying was that it would infact be kinda cool to see...even if its just animated....
