That's true in terms of just being an entertaining movie for your general audience. But they really reduced Cyclops role in that movie which was annoying because he didn't even have a big enough role in the first one.
That doesn't say much.
True. Was expecting them in the first or second movie. Then by the third just assumed they're never going to make a proper appearance.

X2 was the best of the original 3. It was generally an entertaining movie, but I don't see the point in having a Phoenix but then just having Cyclops locked up for the majority of the movie.
But I see your point. X2 + First Class are whats giving me any hope for this movie.
I don't think he will be the star of this movie (at least I hope not). I think the intention was to always just add him to help ratings, as First Class did not do as well as Wolverine Origins at the box office believe it or not.
In X2 him and Xavier were captured early on, then we don't see Cyclops again until towards the end.
There is a cut scene which shows him in some kind of prison.
Of course. It was by far the best of all the X-Men movies Imo. And it's in my top 5 fav super-hero movies of all time.
There's lots of factors when it comes to box office. Fact is First Class did not have much hype to it (perhaps because there was no Wolverine), and was a reboot of sorts. But I always predicted a sequel would do very well at the box office. Because it was a fantastic movie(also perhaps because there was no Wolverine for a change), and word of mouth spreads sometimes after a movie is done at theatres. Just look at Batman Begins.

Ok, so it's confirmed that Peter Dinklage is playing Bolivar Trask. I'm just wondering if this makes any sense. I mean, he's a great actor and all but, why would a guy with dwarfism be all about the genetic purity of the human race? Surely a guy with dwarfism has experienced prejudice growing up just because of the way he was born right?
They picked Peter Dinklage because Fox is a money grubbing whore and they know he's incredibly popular right now because of his role as Tyrion "The Imp" Lannister in Game of Thrones. They want to cash in on that. Dinklage is an amazing actor, and I would have loved him as Puck(which is really one of the only roles he could play), but it's clear they don't want him for his chops, they want him for his name which they hope will bring in more ticket sales.
That's what I'm saying. In the comics, he's just a regular guy who's seeing the decline of "his species", so he wants to wipe them out to "keep the bloodlines pure".
Seeing as to how dwarfism itself is a genetic mutation, it would be like if a Jewish person was the leader of the Nazis.
I have no doubt he'll sell it. And while I could care less about "truth to the character" and what not, as Fox has already raped any sense of continuity with this movie, it just doesn't make sense that a dwarf of all people would be a race purist when he'd often be in the same(but less extreme) boat as mutants because he's "different."
