Well a lot of these characters have a huge history.And to start from the beginning for most of these characters would be somewhat weird.and long.I think some of the changes are just suiting.Like Rogue.In the comics she out spoken and has a lot of southern hospitality.I think the movies gave her a very good make over and made her a little darker.I think some changes like this work well.
Hey, I think this movie is going to be kickass, but I have shared my opinions on some of the ways the characters looked. However, I'm not stupid enough to think how well the characters looks is equivalent to how well the movie will be. 😬
Juggernaut looked like a friggin neanderthal. I understand this, though, but that doesn't mean I like it.
Angel's wings are fake looking. Completely. These they could have done better, definetly.
Beast is growing on me, I must admit, but I still think the actor is going overboard with his character. 😬
I like Storm's hair. Makes her look pretty cool. Better than the fake-ass white wig in the last ones.
Jean is going to be awesome. I loved the scene where she destroyed the vault door and threw it aside as if it were paper.

not true. adhering to continuity doesn't mean plastering a story from years past onto the big screen. ages, powers, affiliations and relationships could be the same as they are in the comics, and a completely original story could spin out from that. it's happening ALL THE TIME in the comics, why not have some writers sit down and put an idea on the silver screen?

Fi, as much as i love you...if the previous two movies havent accurately captured the x-men, why should we believe the third one will?
I'm glad you were here for the short time you were hug kisses ...take care and come back soon...
As I said before, this pathetic loyalty to the cause is exactly why corporations can get away with making movies as bad or as un-adhering to storyline as this.
How can you say "Don't slate it, we've only see two minutes" then be hypocritical enough to say "be positive about it"? We've only seen two minutes of fast cut action scenes. If those are enough to make you get wet over a movie that for all intents and purposes, will probably suck, then you are the one being sucked into seeing it unrealistically.
Spider-Man had genetic webbing, fine with me. When it comes down to such drastic deviation from story as X-Men, it's disgraceful. It's been reduced to cameo city.
Stop making excuses for the fact that the movie just looks like more of X-Men 2 esque material. Though we all know that all of you will probably come out of the movies, love or hate, and say you liked it.
You can tell it's been reduced to making excuses because people are citing Jean destroying a door and Storm's hair as a plus. HER HAIR!

AC...do you ever get bored of saying exactly the same thing over and over again but in more long winded ways?
The point of this thread was to get some positive views on the movies rather than people slating it outright from a small clip....I never said it was going to be fantastic amazing, true to the comics movie, at best it would probably be fun, but I personally found the movies entertaining and though they didn't stick to the comics they still are quite good as movies....
I just think people should so optimism for once....hard as it may be for some....

A) Technically not the same thing then is it?
B) Exactly. How can you say it's ok to be positive about a two minute clip and then be less than encouraging about the negative responses?
If you accept one you have to, in turn, accept the other. As much as there are people slating it from a small clip, there are people praising it from a small clip, you're not telling them to not judge first are you? History is on the negative side.

The trailer is nothing special but i think the movie will be great. The only thing i hate is that they flat out ignored Gambit and all the fans who have been saying they want him in since X1. Yeah i know i'm another whiny Gambit fan but just think about this: The reason they didn't put Gambit in X-3 is because they wouldn't be able to do the character justice with all the mutants they're introducing now. But why didn't they just write him in, in the first place? The first reports about X-3 stated that Gambit, Angel and Beast would be in. So basicly they lied to us.

......anway...this will probably get closed or merged but meh...
You tell 'em woman! I think the trailer looks fabulous and I'm really excited.

Not do him justice? I hardly think they didn't introduce Gambit because they couldn't do him justice. The last thing on the producers, writers and directors minds for this movie is portraying the characters like the comics. I mean they didn't exactly do ANY of the character's justice, aside from Xavier. Gambit isn't exactly the most convoluted character to portray. If they're screwing everyone else up why not Gambit? Let's just get Orlando Bloom some red and black contact lenses, give him a long trench coat and give'em an " Australian " accent. Yes, I know he has a supposed Nawlins' accent but I was making a point.
