Thor is the beginning of the end.

The only comments Ive heard from audiences re: Thor trailer has been "wow theyre really scraping the bottom of the barrel now" :lol

 

[Blader]

McAvoy and Fassbender have always been the only points of interest here for me.

 

[S1kkZ]

new pics look much better

You know what? I take it back. Superman might keep the flame alive for a few more years.

But I hope this movie is a wake up call to most people about just how important Bryan Singer was to the franchise. Producing doesn't mean shit.

He did come up with the story for this one. It was basically a copy-paste job from his X3 treatment, but still. :lol

You sure? Because his X3/X4 treatment was the Pheonix saga spanned over both films.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Why did they even bother calling it "First Class". Because of the uniforms? Thats really...really lame. Im surprised they didnt sneak wolverine in there somehow.


Farewell

Heard they wanted to but Vuaghn put his foot down.

Is that Pikachu got raped by some random Koala?

My God. It reminds me how much I hate the 60s.

 

[bathala]

Oh hello mrs draper

 

[Blader]

You sure? Because his X3/X4 treatment was the Pheonix saga spanned over both films.

iirc, his X3 dealt with the Hellfire Club resurrecting Jean as the Phoenix (and then X4 was the rest of that saga). From what I've read, First Class seems to deal with (at least in part) the Hellfire Club summoning some kind of super-powerful mutant or whatever.

Heres the org one.

Heres another mod I have for it.

It looks even worse!

Thanks for posting the Asylum version of the cast.

Now where are the real pics?

. I wish we still have the LOL emoticons right now.

Re: that large picture of the X-men, Frost still looks ridiculous. At least Fassbender and Avoy look somewhat decent.

Damn, that is even worse. Beast looks like the beast from that shitty, 80's, tv adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. And holy crap, I alwasy knew that was Linda Hamilton (this was post Terminator IIRC, so she was highly recognizable), but only after looking at this picture did I realize that Ron Perlman was the beast. Damn he's got to have broken some records for the number of roles he's had to wear heavy face make-up/prosthetics throughout his career.

 

[Zoramon089]

Hey look, another topic where a ton of GAF members whine and moan about something that looks perfectly fine

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

My expectations are low.

 

[Kjellson]

This is a movie? The picture in the OP looks like a group photo for a TV show.

The Beast looks like the Hulk from the 1977 series.

Well, that's just like your opinion man.

 

[-tetsuo-]

This is the first time I've even heard of this...

 

[hamchan]

I like James McAvoy.
I like January Jones' hotness.

but where is my man Hugh Jackman?

 

[Nakazato]

wow i am so not interested in this now

 

[avatar299]

So the thread for the trailer will be empty, right?

 

[Suairyu]

Know what I remember?

I remember Iron Man being surprisingly decent and a promising sign of things to come from this fancy 'Marvel doing their own films' thing.

What the fuck happened?

I believe Fox retains the rights to Xmen as long as they keep crapping out movies. Fox sucks. Marvel's studio doesn't. Pretty simple really.

Marvel signed really shitty licensing deals back when they were struggling. IIRC FOX retains rights for X-Men and Spider-Man for as long as they keep making the movies.

Oh this is by Fox? Oh boy. That means we have two sucky studios, because everything Marvel post-Iron Man has also been not great so far.

 

[Discotheque]

People have been saying this film looks like Xmen: The Porn Parody. I think this picture pretty much confirms it. God damn, what is this? Austin Powers?

Even Fassbender/McAvoy can't really get me excited after this. They better bust out a trailer soon.

dem boobs

 

[7Th]

I have hope for this and Spidermang...all the others are probably unsalvageable.

Even Aronofsky's The Wolverine?

 

[Blader]

Marvel signed really shitty licensing deals back when they were struggling. IIRC FOX retains rights for X-Men and Spider-Man for as long as they keep making the movies.

Sony has the rights for Spider-Man, and those may or may not be capped at 6 films.

But you're right that Fox owns X-Men and will continue to as long as they make a new movie every 3ish years.

 

[Discotheque]

Fox sucks. Marvel's studio doesn't. Pretty simple really.

lol except Xmen 3 > Iron Man 2. And probably will stand as a better film than Thor and Captain America.

 

[Epcott]

Well... at least it looks better than The Cape :/

What'd you expect it to look like given when the movie takes place? Honestly, tell me how that scene could be improved

Well 50% of the problem is marvel getting too much control in their movies and the other 50% of the problem is that FOX are mentally retarded.

 

[Discotheque]

Yeah I have no idea. It's clearly a product of the 60s. But it just looks silly is all. I guess it's more interesting going this route than the 'dark reboot' angle again.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

lol except Xmen 3 > Iron Man 2. And probably will stand as a better film than Thor and Captain America.

Really? Man I don't know I think they are both pretty bad but X3 definitely edges out Iron Man 2.

I had no idea Kevin Bacon was in this. This movie truly looks awful.

 

[Dali]

Oh this is by Fox? Oh boy. That means we have two sucky studios, because everything Marvel post-Iron Man has also been not great so far.

Iron Man 2 was okay. Hulk was... well... I like Ed Norton. Mindless, wrecking ball, Hulk has never been a very compelling character to me anyway so I think they did a good job considering the source material blew. Cap looks like it could be okay and Thor looks... watchable. Contrast that to Fox's complete shitting on the F4 ip (which never once looked appealing) and partial pooping on the Xmen (with only one entry that's actually what I'd consider a good movie - X2).

This movie looks like I'd expect it to. Anyway, I'd rank IM2 > X3 >>>> Spiderman 3

Hulk on a 7.1 system elevates that movie to a whole new level.

This movie looks like I'd expect it to. Anyway, I'd rank IM2 > X3 >>>> Spiderman 3

Yeah that's exactly where I would put them.
Does this movie have the budget of a sci fi original movie or something?

 

[JdFoX187]

McAvoy and Fassbender have always been the only points of interest here for me.

Knowing the actual context of this picture, it looks awesome. Young Xavier and young Magneto facing off against each other over a game of Chess. But I just don't get any sort of Xavier vibe from McAvoy at all. I like him as an actor, but he doesn't look the part whatsoever. Fassbender, on the other hand, looks pretty good as a young Magneto.

 

[LaserBuddha]

Well at least he didn't go full retard. You never go full retard.

He did, I was just trying to more clearly illustrate that the X was a mark on the scale.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Well at least he didn't go full retard. You never go full retard.

Damn where are my laughing faces! How can I express my feelings anymore!?

 

[Dead Prince]

when i saw the picture i couldn't help but think a cheesy porn parody movie. it's so bad looking lol.

Wow why couldn't they just straight do that? Is fox so afraid of costumes that they. Would look cheesy? Well heh heh guess what fox your ideas look worse.

Meh

 

[S1kkZ]

the interview with the director (http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011...hotos-and-a-report-from-the-stressed-out-set/) doesnt sound good, at all.

film comes out on june 3rd and they are shooting until march. then there is still post production, editing, sound mixing, overseeing the cgi stuff...

i like the new (none costume) pictures, but i think the film will be a rushed mess with awful cgi effects (like origins).

 

[.GqueB.]

I look at that cover and get the same feeling I had when I read all of wanted:

"...why didnt they just do that?"
