i would have too say david boneraz(angel) for night crawler and for beast i have too say slyvester stallone

Those are two excellent choices, Reptile! I never thought of Angel but he does seem to fit and Sly Stallone would be great with his voice as it is!

I love the film..possibly cos it had Patrick Stewart in along with hugh jackman!!!

I watched the cartoon when i was younger and loved all the characters..Rogue is v.cool but i am disappointed Storm couldn't fly in the film and rogue was missing, like, half her powers!!!hopefully she'll learn them in the next film, which i have gathered is likely to be about wolverine mainly!!!

Storm did fly in the film a couple of times, she flew in the Station scene and in the scene with Toad in the museum at the Statue of Liberty. I also saw the cartoons and read ALL the Comics since the #1 Episode, that's how I got hooked on XMen! It was quite some time ago but I love what they did in the movie, I do hope the next movie is about Wolverine, he's always been a favorite of mine.

I think Wolverine is pretty cool. Hugh Jackman is a good looking man. :naughty:

I not a fan of comics so this was my first look at the Mutant theme. I have to admit that what drive me to see it was Patrick Stewart after seen him in Star Trek I really was curious to see his new franchise. And I love the movie, it was very good. But I hope they continue developing the character in the next X Men movie. I also love the character of Hugh Jackman, this is were I first hear of him and after this I follow his other movies. And he's not only good looking he's a great actor. Love him in Swordfish and Someone Like You.

The X-Men have been re-invented again!

And just for once the film makers and my opinions more or less coincide. Probably because I didn't try and compare what I remembered and the film, you always have to suspend credulity with comics.

Okay, the characters are different, leaving out Beast, Angel and Iceman (the later still at school in the film), substituting Wolverine and Storm (strange girl). But they did leave Cyclops and Jean Grey, even if they are somewhat older. Stewart looks as if he was made for the part of Xanier.

Magneto and Sabretooth were almost deadringers for their sixties counterparts, though Sabretooths fangs and claws were longer in the books as I recall (Beast grabbed him by a tooth once)

I'm actually glad I've seen it now! Roll on episode 2

This is another film I came to late, just watched the DVD on the suggestion of Annette.

I'm afraid I have to agree with padders on this one. I thought 'Spiderman' was much better.

As for the storyline, I did hear Ian McKellen in an interview on the radio a while back. He said it was only because of the story that Bryan Singer persuaded him to do it. To him the story concerned alienated youngsters (the Mutants at Xaviers school) and he had felt that way as a child himself (being Gay) and thought it would be a help for other kids from ethnic and religious minorities who didn't quite fit in. If you rewatch the film (Magneto being Jewish, Rogue being unable to touch her boyfriends) then maybe there is a theme running there that wasn't very obvious at first.

Hey Dave, sorry to hear you didn't enjoy X-Men.

I suppose everyone has different tastes. Will you watch the second one?

annette

Dave · 22nd May 2003, 09:23 PM

I'll give it more than padders 3/10, probably a 6/10.

I don't know if I'll see X-Men 2. It's supposed to be better.

If you only can see X-Men 2 or Matrix Reloaded, my recommendation would be Matrix Reloaded.

I just saw it today and it's a 10½/10!

Annette · 22nd May 2003, 09:27 PM

I did enjoy X-Men 2 but not a fan of 'The Matrix' so will watch 'Matrix Reloaded' on DVD when it comes out.

I must admit thought Patrick Stewart played a brilliant part in X-Men. Mind you I'm a fan of his anyway.
