I wasn't criticising the spoiler warning dude.

*sigh*

i know I know, but still, I didn't read the thread all the way through and didn't see how many times it was there

Well, that's your problem right there, dude.

exactly, back to topic

I personally think the movie rocked no matter what anybody says. and there is enough stuff to make a sequel

Yeah I'd like a sequel. If the Star Wars series was 6 movies why shouldn't X-Men be?

Yea, lovely red carpet:) don't forget the celing. Plus the noise/atmosphere wasn't great. No flow in the plot so I made up my own while I watch it. :p Joke. Watchable but boring.

just to add, it is rumoured to have a x4. Maybe the appearance of Apoclaypse.

"Maybe the appearance of Apoclaypse."

No. No. No. No. No.

In a couple of years they should do a remake. Look what happened with the Batman franchise! Two GREAT movies and then after that it was laughable! Wait a few years, is what they should do, and then remake the whole lot with Apocalypse as the up and coming bad guy.

A sort of thing where Magneto thinks he's the Cat's Pjama's, and tries to take on Apocalypse, but then Apoc is just all "No, daft lad" and gives him a back-hander.

What's Apocalypse's story?

I've never read the comics, but from what i understand there's an Alternative Dimension storyline called 'The Age of Apocalypse'. Obviously, they can miss that part out. ...as well as the whole thing of him being part Alien technology, part Mutant.

But Apocalypse is basically the oldest Mutant there is, born in Egypt.

"Apocalypse's story begins with his birth in mid-30th century BC ancient Egypt during the First Dynasty. He was born disfigured in the settlement of Akkaba and abandoned in the desert to die. He was the last child born in the settlement before the nomad raiders, the Sandstormers, slaughtered the area's population. Their leader, Baal, found the child and considered it to have the potential to be a god. He raised the child as his own.

He named the child En Sabah Nur ("The First One"- see below) in anticipation of others like him. The tribe lived and died by the philosophy of survival of the fittest (with "fittest" being defined as toughest, most ruthless and pitiless). En Sabah Nur earned the right to adulthood at seventeen by surviving an endurance test in the desert. He and Baal were the only Sandstormers to survive when General Ozymandias attacked their camp. They found refuge in nearby caves, but Baal was killed when the cave he was in collapsed. En Sabah Nur, however, escaped to the surface, only to be enslaved."

...it then goes off into Time Travelling shenanijinks and the like, but the film could have it so that Apocalypse was buried by the Egyptians who enslaved him, fearing his disfigurement.

Yadda-yadda-yadda, Centuries later he emerges all "Roar" and the like.

Exactly what powers did Apocalypse have?

Hmm, advanced extraterrestrial equipment giving him the ability to take huge amounts of punishment, super strength, and the ability to alter the mass and density of objects...
2 minutes at wikipedia to verify. Yup, he's a more bad ass supervillain form of Colossus.
SPOILERS: How do you manage to screw up a friggin' Pyro/Iceman battle?

I thought that was pretty cool actually. The full ice man suit. For once Bobby doesn't act so cowardly. Hidding all that rubbish.

Yeah jacob, your right. This should make a remake of the x3.I am sure that someone spotted earliar. The director(s) follow the same plot war/cure. It would been nice if this broke the chain. Humans and mutant working together to take on apoc. Or least the introduce the mad scientist who put mass of tiny airships and sentinels running mock.

Bastion would be an interesting character to introduce, as well. Just a more realistic version - like instead of having all the complications of the comic, just have him as a Droid built to destroy mutants.

Hmmm...

I've seen this movie and I think it is really cool.

yeah...that is good. Something different to break the regimme of mutant fighting humans all the time.

BUT

There in the beginning of the movie where the students: ice man,kitty and rogue were training in the danger room. Was this to introduce the sentinels for their next movie. Could this be the whole robot droid thingy you were thinking about?

And how would they know what the Sentinels looked like?

Nah, the Sentinel introduced was an Easter Egg for the fans, as was the whole Danger room content, which always got scrapped from the original scripts.

Are the Sentinels really important or something?

Not really! But it would be highlight to see them.They were created to sidetrack the story a bit. But adding Sentinels to the sequel would've cost $8 million, Thus, it was cut from the movie.

They used to hunt Mutants in the comics, i think, and in the animated series. Bastion was, like, the head Sentinel. Quite coolio looking.

What are they, just huge robots that attack mutants?

I can't wait till I go to see X-Men 3. The first two films were great and the third is bound to Rock. I will definately be going to see it because I am a huge Patrick Stewart fan.

Oh yeah, and I watched a Patrick Stewart interview on the BBC and he said that you are not to leave the cinema when the credits are on, because the film might not be finished when you think.

Next time, read the whole thread :)

The Sentinels were created by Bolivar Trask to hunt Mutants, which Trask saw as a threat to humanity.

Refer back to my links in page 2. Comicial pictures of what they look like. In the movie you just got a glimpse of the head.

People should read the whole thread. :p I suppose I do that too :evil: :)

That photo is where I got the robot thing from. I gave a very general description in the hope that someone would fill in the finer detail for me.

okay, I'll try my best gave you the full story. For starters you know what they look like.

Sentinels created by noted anthropologist Bolivar Trask, the first Sentinels were lumbering, semi-humanoid robots tasked with the apprehension or elimination of mutants. Although Trask's principal field of expertise was anthropology, he also demonstrated considerable talent in the areas of biophysics, cybernetics and robotics. When his young son, Lawrence, developed precognitive abilities, Trask embarked on a privately funded anthropological study of the rapidly increasing, worldwide emergence of genetically empowered individuals. He became convinced that these mutants, the first of a newly evolving race, would use their powers to dominate the world and enslave mankind. Trask eventually founded a small group of researchers, led by himself and his now-adult son, to compile evidence that mutants posed a threat to humanity. Drawing on his considerable fortune, Trask hired a large team of cyberneticists, roboticists and engineers to realize his designs for the ultimate solution to what he perceived as a global dilemma.

Trask publicly revealed the existence of the Sentinels during a live, televised debate on the alleged mutant menace with Professor Charles Xavier -- secretly the telepathic leader of the heroic band of masked, mutant adventurers known as the X-Men. The Sentinels were programmed to protect mankind from mutants, but cold logic led them to conclude that they could best accomplish this aim by seizing control of society from the imperfect humans they considered to be their inferiors. One of the Sentinels attacked and kidnapped Trask during the debate, countermanding his orders. The Alpha Sentinel, Master Mold, attempted to force Trask to construct more of its kind, so as to facilitate the androids' conquest of the human race. Training a thought-reading probe on the ape-like X-Man called the Beast, Trask realized that not all mutants would inevitably use their powers to subjugate humanity. Finally grasping the magnitude of the evil he had wrought, the scientist sacrificed his life to destroy Master Mold.

Following Bolivar Trask's death, his son spearheaded construction of the Mark II Sentinels. Wrongly blaming the X-Men for his father's fate, Larry Trask targeted the outcast adventurers for capture and imprisonment. When the medallion that suppressed Trask's powers was removed, the Sentinels realized that he was a mutant and declared their autonomy. In effect, they had become their own masters. The Sentinels computed that the best way to halt human evolution was to destroy the sun, the source of most mutation-inducing radiation on Earth. While orbiting their target, however, they concluded that they lacked the means to destroy it. The Sentinels returned to Earth to implement a new set of tactics, but were put down by the Avengers. Earth's Mightiest Heroes deactivated or destroyed most of the robotic executioners. Trask died during the battle.

The U.S. government took ownership of the Sentinel plans following Trask's death, and Dr. Steven Lang was placed in charge of a federal investigation into the origin of genetic mutation. Unknown to his employers, Lang's objectivity was skewed by a fanatical, irrational distrust of mutants. He used his position to acquire Trask's designs and notes, then sought financial backing from the Hellfire Club, an elite social organization of the world's wealthiest and most powerful figures. In pursuit of its goal of world domination, the Hellfire Club provided Lang with funds to construct new Sentinels and an orbital space station -- not knowing that he intended to terminate every mutant abducted. Unfortunately for Lang, his first captives were the X-Men. The heroes escaped their bonds, and destroyed Lang's Sentinels and space station.

After the terrorist organization called the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants attempted to assassinate Senator Robert Kelly, the president inaugurated the secret and illegal operation known as Project Wideawake to apprehend and detain genetically empowered individuals. The government contracted Shaw Industries to construct Sentinels in secret -- unaware that the company's owner, Sebastian Shaw, was himself a mutant. Without the government's knowledge, Shaw used the Sentinels to attack the X-Men in his role as leader of the Hellfire Club.

The next Sentinel threat would originate in an alternate future where the mutant-hunting robots reigned supreme. Nimrod, a state-of-the-science Sentinel, traveled back in time -- emerging in the present to hunt mutants as he had in the future. The X-Men neutralized Nimrod, but his technology merged with that of Master Mold. The amalgamated android battled the X-Men, who were able to defeat the robot only by forcing it through the dimensional portal called the Siege Perilous. The magic of the Siege Perilous would allow any entity that passed through it to be reborn as a new being. Nimrod returned in humanoid form as Bastion and began to integrate Sentinel technology into unsuspecting humans.

These sleeper agents were unaware of their programming, awakened only by mutant activity. Privately re-establishing the Sentinel program, Bastion received government sanction to commence Operation: Zero Tolerance. Commanding a hidden army of Sentinels, he ransacked and razed the X-Men's mansion, downloading Xavier's extensive computer files on mutants around the world. Bastion used this information to systematically attack and capture the X-Men and their associates. The android ultimately was destroyed, but the X-Men found it difficult to locate and deactivate all the humans he had transformed. The mutant heroes could not attack these cyborg Sentinels in wanton fashion, as they were victimized humans -- a weakness on which Bastion likely had counted.

The latest mutant-hunting androids, the product of a shadow-ops program, assimilate automobile and aircraft components, machine parts, and building materials to keep pace with genetic mutation. As humankind inches toward extinction, the Sentinels gather in secret enclaves throughout the world -- waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting mutant population.

I saw it today. Patrick Stewart was superb.

Spoiler GAP




















Bit of a shock when he died.

The opening sequence was fantastic, it was excellent how they made Xavier look like Jean-Luc Picard (if you catch my drift) And how they Made Sir Ian look younger too.

At the end of the film was Magneto managing to move the chess peice with his powers regenerating or something?

:fuzconf: Sorry, i didn't realize that there was a page 1 and 2. I was nackered after going out jogging and couldn't be bothered looking at the top to see what page I was on.

*feels embaressed* 5 Times in one thread !

I didnt see the chess piece move. did you? I pointing earliar that it can be taken either way. Depends on viewer:

Got his powers back

OR
Grieving that it doesnt work.

Because the piece wasn't moving we dont know for definite.

I finally saw the movie yesterday. Believe me, Magneto wanted
to really make sure his power weren't gone completely before
he started grieving in that park. It was a moment where you just had to feel
sorry for him. Looks like he'll finally have to except life as a human would.
(pretends to sob.) He was a good man.

The fucking chess piece moved.

+1

*sigh*

I guess we'll have to wait till it comes out on DVD so we can play this on super-low-speed.

yeah..well see:evil:

The boy (the cure mutant) was he in the comics at all? Or was he some made up character?

Leech was in the comics i believe.

And yeh, the Chess piece moved, i'm sure you can find clips of the moment on youtube or something. So go find.

oh yea I know Leech, I believe he is green skinned and has yellow eyes.

here is the link from youtube on the chess piece
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDXKj...%203%20magneto
It was so hard to spot. It didn't move one square, it was a nudge. Took three or fours runs to spot it.

I really don't like X-Men, it gives me a headache.

I watched X-Men 3 whilst drunk at my friend's house.

Needless to say the only interesting part was when someone blew up.

- Rexy

Yes X-Men is very boring.

Oh my Word!!!!¬_¬
 

:lol: I can imagine you are the one bursting into laughter...and everyone was looking at you. And you say 'wot?'

my humble lord vulcher...how could you find xmen boring. They defy all laws and is one dream to have what we don't have. Yes, there are spite and hatered in those who have it. "Refering to the movie" Angel and Rogue. I have you know although Rogue can't touch anyone but she is one of the most powerful mutants in the world. She doesn't know it yet.

Plus she is mystique's daughter apparently. Although being mutant...you cannot choose your gift but it something that is good and special.

No. It's only good and special if you CHOOSE it to be good and special.
