Naa X3 isn't out here yet, but looking forward to it. Shame they couldn't keep the director from 1 & 2, but he's gone off to make SUPERMAN RETURNS for Warner Bros. so that might be good...
I'd heard some people saying X-Men was originally supposed to be a commentary about Martin Luther King and Malcom X (Xavier and Magneto) and their philosophies...which is interesting. But as far as the films go, the director of 1 & 2, Brian Singer, is gay so I think he was really trying to make a social statement a bit closer to his own experience with it....I think that's probably lost a little with 3.
I think that Brett Ratner dude is/was going out with Serena Williams no?
Anyway...sounded like a fun trip to the movies for you : )
Yeah the "not bad, but a bit thin" comment seems to come out a lot regarding X3.
I think the reason for this is because Fox rushed the production to get it out ahead of SUPERMAN RETURNS. A snipe at Warner Bros. for stealing away Brian Singer perhaps. Anyway it certainly seems like the movie didn't get the polishing fans would've liked and sounds like was necessary.
You can't win 'em all...
Still, X3 grossed a lot at the box office....
I just hope someone will make a full series of the animated adventures of Juggernaut using those guys from the link in the top post...
they could call it
"JUGGERNAUTIN' AIN'T EASY"
(inspired from 3:6mafia's track for HUSLTE AND FLOW)
the opening line of the movie would be...
(blacked-out frame)
"These mo'f*ckers don't know me, they don't know who they f*ckin' with....."
(close up on Juggernauts face)
"I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BIYAATCHH"
etc
p/s I found out today that Juggernaut isn't actually a mutant
