Now he doesnt have a mask in the 2nd either so that excused has to be ruled out, the movie is made from a serious point, dispite the mutant thing, so a mask would be really lame.

I think they only didn't include the mask because they foreseen the kind of Hugh Jackman pin-up type thing. Because it's quite obvious he's adored by millions of female fans so wearing a mask half the time would detract from that.

Fair enough that you disliked the film, and you are entitled to your own opinions but y give us all an essay telling us how bad it is when no 1 really wants to kno? People in the X-men forum like talking bout how good they think X-men 1&2 was and what they liked about the characters. Every1 likes some1 different which is good, and bring variety to the forum, but your post could have been posted sumwhere else. All you needed to tell us was:- I didn't like it. 👿

So It's perfectly alright to go and start off a thread about a film you like but when you wan't to post about a film you dislike you can't for fear of your ideas being rejected by other people. Sometimes it takes some one else to highlight the real problems within a film, someone who is not just liking it because it's called X-Men. If I said 'I didn't like it 'and then just never gave any reasons then I would have been slaughtered. The very fact that I gave an argument proves I've watched it and thought about enough to say what I said.

Then you go off and attack evolution, have you ever watched saturday morning cartoons? It was very good for what it had to work with. I would rather see it at as rated pg-13 or pg. Have you seen the filth on Saturday mornings? Mucha Lucha, Pokemon its just rediculous. I liked X-men Evolution it was a pretty good show. What did you not like? It was a kids show.

I can honestly say I didn't like it. It didn't really engage me in the way the X-men originals did. The introduction of really pointless characters; Spike, Toad , Avalanche, the Blob( Wow..... he's incredibly fat....what a power) etc. The voices were annoying, the theme tune was gay, Wolverine with that orange/black combo, Sabretooth just looked completely laughable with his appearance(but then again it probably was styled off the movie). I've seen the way they've chewed up Gambit and spat him back out as this weedy freak of nature so I generally don't care for it much.

P.S. I'd rather watch Pokemon than X-Men Evolution.

omg 😂

No offense

It's just it kinda freaked my out

Okay, this mask thing.
1) What reason would there even be for him wearing a mask? Apart from 'because he wears one in the comics' The movie isn't going along with the comics, they are just being used a guidelines.
2)A mask would look bad on screen because you can't see hugh jackmans facial expression which tells us a lot about a character
3)A guy running round in a leather mask? Come on, how stupid is that. So uncool.

First of all I have watched all of the first one so I am entitled to have my opinion.
X- Men was just completely terrible in the way of showing off the good original cartoon and comics(Evolution is also bad). The dialogue is mind-numblingly boring, the set pieces, scenes and special effects where not really impressive to say the least and the casting was awful.
That guy who played Cyclops had absolutely no screen presence to pull off a part that definately required it. Like Tobey Maguire in Spiderman he looked like he was just about old enough to legally drink milk and wear a bib.
Halle Berry as Storm was totally a misdirected casting as she also did not fit the image of a kickass mutant (She fries Toad and makes a mist... what a part!)
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine I just couldn't take seriously enough, he just didn't have that Wolverine attitude(or mask-total mistake because I loved the mask); he just walked around like he was miffed at something and occasionally getting his claws out.
Mystique in the comics and cartoons is a central figure in the plot, in the film however she's a naked , scaly, ugly, blue thing that runs around and holds no apparent influence in Magneto's plans.
Sabretooth was just a long-haired rockstar(with fake hairy eyebrows....ewww) in a long, brown coat who growled every so often and apart from dying did nothing of any importance.

OMG!!! OH HELL NO.......NO HE DIDNT OOOOH HE DON GOT ME PISSED OF ....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH If you dont have nothin nice to say at all then dont say nothin

u said it BB

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of a movie, and bringing a reason to this forum is perfectly okay. However, the only flaw I see in posting this thread is that you are obviously starting it to piss people off. If you want to wax philosophical about something and argue a point to the bitter death, join a debate club. If you have something intelligent to say, then start a thread.

That only happened after X-men.
IMO they didnt use it cos it would look stupid, sorry but it would.

xboy and Cyclopse> He can right whatever he want, as long as it follows the rules. He doesnt like it, just deal with it ppl.

Lord Shadow> I dont like the way the Evo characters look either (never saw the cartoon!). I almost 😘 when I saw what they did to Gambit. Plus they all look the same. I grew up with the old cartoons and I love those!

Erm, not really. B.Singer gives an explanation to Jackman in the "making of". " I couldn't contrive a reason for a mask...and then your mask is over your face, so now you're really a masked man running around this movie and the audience says...and if you've ever seen the movies with ... when Batman has his mask down it's all about being hidden, the character (...)you deprive it of a lot... You don't realize it until I started visioning you wearing a mask for the third act of the movie...that sort of thinking...What's that about ? Who are you ? Darkman ?Who are you hiding from ? (...)The X-men could come up with an excuse for you to wear a mask, but these things, the masks and the wingsand all that, were just designed by drawers and painters to create a sense..."
