Why do I get the feeling that I will someday be wishing that Mike Myers had just given the Austin Powers follow up movie to this guy rather than making it himself?

Also, he needs to flip it around andfind a similar stick he can do with Magneto.

if they really have fun with it and give a wink to the comics, they should have Xavier call Magneto in, to HIRE him as a teacher at the school, and list off all his... good qualities, and why hed make such an excellent addition to the staff :peace:

After reading the Wolverine led X-force books over the last week... I wonder if the X-force movie that will be out in the next couple years, will indeed be R-rated. Be surprised if Fox goes R, but, X-force is pretty brutal.

not many, and on top of that, very few (Watchmen and Kickass?) are the only super hero ones to go R
depending on what X-Force theyre going with (if its the Cable lead team from the 90's, or the newer version) the newer one is basically a X-hit team. Its bloody and graphic. But knowing theyre heading to Age of Apocalypse, im going to bet its the Cable lead team, with more possible time travel setting up the Age of Apocalypse movie.

The Blade films were rated R. Not super high grossing on the Avengers scale but if not for the success of the first two I don't think the first X-Men movie would have been made.

I would love to see Angel / Arch Angel somehow tied in, but that would take some serious re-writes
It also depends on what time line the X-Force movie will be in? will it take place in the 70's coming out of the first class movies (now that Wolverine will be re-introduced there, and where Deadpool already existed) or out of the original class / future time line in which case Warpath would most likely be in (as hes seen in the preview in Days of Futures Past)

course thats assuming Fox follows the comics, but knowing Fox, theyll go with the best lineup they think will make money.

Cable, Deadpool, Wolverine, Psylocke and maybe Domino in the 70s time line would be pretty killer

Every time I watch an X-Men movie, I can't help but to become infuriated when I think how crummy X-3 is and how good it could have been.

So my wife has never seen any of them and now she wants to see the latest Wolverine one and the upcoming futures past one. I told her I would watch them all in order with her before she saw any of the new ones. We watched the first X-Men yesterday. It was ok but I didn't remember just how fast they got into the swing of things without much back story.

i think it kinda forced people to read into the character...you knew wolverine was pretty much a loner by his demeanor. storm didnt get much story time to explain how she was born in the US, moved to cairo as a baby and learned to be a pickpocket and a few other backstories. but for the most part i think it gave an accurate albeit brief back story

they even kinda poked fun at it? the scene when Wolverine meets everyone...
"Storm... Cyclops... what do they call you? Wheels?"

I always thought they did a pretty good job at introducing such a big cast of mutants to the general public in a short period of time to not bog down the movie. Better than First Class's "montage" training sequence anyway.

After the terrible Wolverine movies and X3, I'm surprised people are excited about this one. First Class was decent but I'm not sure how throwing that into the pot along with all the other movies PLUS adding those ridiculous looking future mutants is going to add up to anything but an epic disaster.

Is it all because of Singer being back?

plus this:

i mean, that should tell you everything you need to know about this movie.

The montage was fine in First Class. That aspect of their growth wasnt as crucial to the story as the emotional and moralistic ones of the central figures, so giving it more time would have just been padding (unlike, say, Batman Begins, which had to invest a lot of screen time on the ability transition in order to work).

First Class was really good, in my op. singer is almost a detriment to my expectations...I thought the trilogy was really well executed middling expectation work, for the most part.

A first class sequel plus wolverine is aces

I thought First Class was absolute garbage. Like Wolverine Origins level terrible, just a bad bad movie. But I'm kind of excited for Days of Future Past in a "wonder how they'll pull this off" kind of way.
