The video won't play for me? It just shows a broken icon.

Looks like Storm is going to be a LOT more powerful than in the other two movies, where she was a total wimp. I'm still mad about Rogue not flying.

Otherwise, movie looks pretty good.

Do you have Quicktime 7 installed?

If I click "View the announcement teaser" on the left, nothing happens. It might be loading but I can't tell.

If I click "High definition announcement teaser" I can see that it is loading (beneath the viewing screen). The first HD listing (480P) loads pretty quickly.

Does that work for you?

Eh, Its no "Punisher"

It's no Hulk or Electra either. Of course, they all pale compared to Catwoman.

Well, Storm should be very powerful. It's either natural character progression or Halle Berry wanted a more memorable role.

As for Rogue, the first movie showed her powers manifest for the first time. Therefore, this is all before Rogue absorbed Ms. Marvel's powers (including flight). Of course, they've also changed Rogue's connection to Mystique, the composition of The Brotherhood, Rogue's relationship with Iceman, and so on.

From the looks of the trailer, they are going to start a love triangle between Rogue, Iceman, and Kitty. At least one might conclude this from the trailer. If they don't have the connection between Kitty and Colossus, I will be most unhappy.

But, since neither of these characters have really been spotlighted yet (although both are in the film) I think they will go for the aforementioned love triangle. It will add more character tension. The movie doesn't need 2 teen couples.

Like most book to screen adaptations, I concede that some things have to be changed to incorporate so much history into one movie. I'll just be glad to see it.

My understanding is that the latter is the case--she almost refused to do a third film because of her small role.

Yea bring on Halle Barry more power more beauty. Way to go hollywood.

I see they're finally going to include Beast, after writing him out of the first one due to concerns about make-up time. I wonder how they'll treat his character, since his scientific knowledge was folded into the Jean Grey character.
Overall, the movies have been fun to watch. I was even able to get over the fact that Hugh Jackman is over 6', while Wolverine is supposed to be closer to 5'.

 

[Navarre]

Logan is 5' 3" and weighs 195 lbs (if I remember correctly). His weight is due, of course, to the adamantium lacig in his skeleton.

I didn't see Nightcrawler in this one. Maybe they thought 2 blue members were too much.

My friend Mel asked me "What's with all the blue guys?" when I showed her the profile photo for Beast (I hope Kelsey Grammer doesn't screw it up by the way). I guess mutants turn blue.

Hopefully, the story doesn't suffer from all the new characters. I see Juggernaut, Callisto, Angel, Beast, etc on the official website.

 

[arnisador]

Wasn't the beast seen in the background, on a TV, in the previous film?

 

[arnisador]

What I thought was Juggernaut in the trailer seemed much too small. I hope they "blow him up" a bit!

Well, Mystique is blue and Nightcrawler is her son (in the comic, not the movies) so that explains the blue skin.

Beast wasn't always blue. He was originally a normal looking guy except he had dense musculature and overly large hands and feet. At a later point he mutated further into the blue-furred beast...and still later de-evolved into another variation of this.

And yes, Arnisador, Henry McCoy aka The Beast was seen on a television in the first movie discussing mutation. He had a human appearance at that time.

 

[splazzatch]

Yes, that is what it took for me to get it to work. I simply upgraded my quicktime..I have version 7 now, I had version 6.

That is an amazing trailer. I can't wait I am such a fan of X-men

My recollection is that in one of the movies there was a bare hint of this relationship, that those in the know would recognize but those who had only seen the movies would not. But, I'd have to view it again to see if I am remembering correctly.

The only scene I can recall where Mystique and Nightcrawler are really around each other is when they are in the woods after Magneto prevents the Blackbird from crashing.

I don't recall any hint at a connection though. I'll go back and look at it. I mean, they've essentially revised all of X-Men history for the movies. But, again, I understand why so many things had to be changed.

Yes, that's the one I mean. You have to be looking for it. Let me know if you agree that a hint is there for those in the know!

Awesome, I can't wait for it to come out!
