Xmen 2 is about the legacy virus.

A virus created by the government to wipe out mutants.

Two word: SPOI and LERS for those of us who DON'T like to know every detail about a movie before we go and see it. :rolleyes:

Um.. thats like saying "Saving private ryan is about WWII and some troops looking for Private Ryan"

Captain Harlock 12-15-02 10:08 PM

Okay this is my first crack at using the spoiler tags so I hope this works.....


Spoiler:
The plot of X2 is based on the graphic novel "God Loves Man Kills", which was first published in 1983. In the graphic novel a man made virus that targets mutants is unleashed upon the planet by a fanatical government scientist named Dr. Bryan Stryker. In the graphic novel he becomes obsessed with wiping out all of mutant kind after he and his wife come contact with radiation from an atomic test blast which affects his unborn child.

I am looking forward to this movie. I am going to go watch the link.
Have already been reading that Halle (swelled head) Berry thought her role was too small in the next film and won't be doing another. Did she not know that this was ensemble movie not a movie called Storm?

She got more to do last time then say, Cyclops (James Marsden).
Looking forward to more Ian/Patrick scnes

Very cool, thanks. I actually have seen nothing on this yet.

Ron-P 12-16-02 10:58 AM

I'll wait and just buy the DVD.


Peace Out~:D

A better quality trailer is now up...

What's the music that plays during and after the shot of the two helicopters? I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before.

Well then don't read on:

1. Backdraft is about firefighters
2. Two Towers features hobbits and a ring
3. Magneto's powers have to do with magnetism

That's not a spoiler, that's an obvious and simple plot point... :rolleyes:

;)

It sounded to me like the whole trailer was using Mars: The Bringer of War by Gustav Holst for it's music.

Tyler_Durden 12-19-02 06:40 AM

Thanks so much. I'd never heard of Holst or his music, so I went to Google, ran a search, and downloaded some of his music. Wow! :eek: This is great stuff. And you're right, the X2 trailer music does sound a lot like Mars.

It’s my firm contention that Angela Bassett should have been cast in that role. She is an incredibly underrated actor (by that I mean long overdue for at least an Oscar) and her facial features and incredibly fit body type are as close as Claremont (or Cockrum, Byrne, Golden, Smith, etc.) themselves could have gotten to the character. I thought the casting beside that was spot on.

Even Ramjin–Stamos surprised me! But, honestly, I tend to favor that look. ( "Mmmmm, orange eyed, blue gecko women... :drool: )

Kudama 12-29-02 05:57 AM

Dang!!!!!!! :eek:

I really am a geek!

If you download Jupiter: The Bringer of Jollity you'll see where James Horner gets most of his inspiration from, most noticably his Braveheart score.

New X-Men 2 Trailer Online
 
Check out official X2 site or Apple.com/trailers. The trailer rocks.

valkyrie 02-18-03 06:29 PM

I like the F/X on Nightcrawlers teleportation. Looks pretty damn good.

_tony_ 02-18-03 08:33 PM

Kal-El 02-18-03 08:51 PM

That trailer looked tons better than the first movie. I'm very interested.

For the lazy. Looks good.

Get Me Coffee 02-18-03 10:59 PM

Thanks for the link....i'm so damn lazy

Rogue588 02-18-03 11:29 PM

Now howzabout a direct like so we can d/l it.

I've tried the temporary internet thing, but for some reason it's now showing up...only as a 12k file. And since i'm not fully educated in the fine art of the internet, I guess i'm SOL until some kind soul posts a solution.

Kudama 02-19-03 01:21 AM

I just saw it in the theater and would like to know if someone can settle a friendly disagreement that I have with my friend.

In the scene where the male figure walks through the doorway and his face is occluded by shadow and he turns into some other substance:
Was that Colossus or Iceman!?!

My pal told me it was Colossus before I went to see it and to me it looked more like a translucent “ice like” material than chrome “osmium like” material.

Anyone got the skinny on this?

(And, oh yeah, the preview put tears of sheer happiness in my eyes. So did The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen preview. These days it seems like comic book geeks are being totally vindicated.) :) :) :)

Rogue588 02-19-03 01:34 AM

Colossus in the doorway.

Kitty Pryde falling through the bed.

LXG looks like it was made from a LoEG comic that was ripped together, and taped back together all wrong with a few other random comic books..
