And they made it pretty clear he was a former X-Men when he tried on his old jacket and noted it didn't fit any more.
It didn't fit because he wasn't blue and fat when he wore it last. He was the guy from the TV.

Halle Berry wants an X-Men 4?

Just saw this on Superhero Hype...

http://www.superherohype.com/news.php?id=5084

when Halle Berry won for "Favorite Female Action Star" at the People's Choice Awards on Tuesday night, she called out to X-Men fans. Here's a good summary of what she said from XMenFilms.net:

"I had no idea you guys loved Storm so much! Wow, thank you, thank you. And I want to thank Tom Rothman for allowing me to play Storm, and Brett Ratner for allowing Storm to finally use her cape and fly this year." said Halle Berry at yesterday's People's Choice Awards.

"But I have something to ask you guys. You guys really love X-Men? Ok, here's what you have to do. Write letters. Every one of you in this building who love X-Men and want to see X-Men 4, write a letter to Tom Rothman at Fox and tell him so and you will get another one, and I'll be there too."
Anyone surprised that she's the one championing yet another sequel?

When her career was "hot" post-Monster Ball, she was ready to leave. Now with nothing but X-Men, she has to stay with her hit.

Too bad the third one was such a letdown. What a disappointment

I'd like a fourth, but without Storm. The character is fine, but she's been pretty lame in the movies.

My favorite question she asked was "Can you make me feel good!"

For real though, I'd like to see her go out with a mohawk

I'm surprised she didn't beg for her own Storm movie.

It's a shame that the 3rd one was the best in the series and no one can see it that way because they were all tricked into believing the very poor 2nd one was actually good.

Interestingly, I found none of the X-Men films to be worth re-watching.

X3 was like dating Mystique only to have her morph into Fred J Dukes while you're doing the horizontal mambo.

Wow. I'd sure love to see some support for that opinion. Why do you think that...or are you kidding?

Well I guess I'm in the minority that feels part 3 is the best, but I wouldn't go so far as to say part 2 was very poor. (I think part 2 serves as a great second act in a trilogy.)

I feel a lot of the complaints people have with the third can be easily attributed to the first as well, but for some reason no one sees these "flaws" if Bryan Singer is credited as the director. Only if the director's credit goes to Brett Ratner does everyone pull out their carving knives.

I bet people ask her all the time if there will be another x-men, so she's replying to that

I call shenanigans on this statement. Most people who love the second film recognize how much less of a film the first one is. To step back to flaws from the first film (as well as shovel in a lot more), is what makes the third so poor. The third one just had so much wrong with it, which is shame because it had potentially the best story.

I'm all for a fourth especially because

of that reset button that was the ending of three.

I had no idea the 3d one was a different director (and I have no opinion on Singer), I just didn't enjoy watching it very much. The first one was also somewhat weak, but better than the third.

With or without Halle more comic book movies is always good. I realize a lot of you fanboys/Halle haters get your BVD's all bunched up and your zits start popping because you can't everything you want the way you want it in your Comic movies... you'll just have to get over it. Halle, bitch or not, was part of a huge franchise that has the potential to be milked for years to come. No one needs to be reminded that Wolverine and Magneto movies are in the works.

I thought the third one was weak. It really had an anti-climatic ending for me. All this lead up to really nothing for me. Plus having the phoenix in the movie felt out of place. The x-men cartoons were so good that this movie I guess just let me down.

Halle Berry is rather pathetic. If only Catwoman had worked out for her.

Very, but pleased she's come around, whatever selfish reasons may be behind it.

I never understood the rabid hate for Berry. A lot of people say that she somehow stole the show in X3 which seems like total bs and even if she did, that probably wasn't her doing, more like someone from the higher-ups as they wanted Jackman to have a bigger part too.

I'm definitely set for another X-men movie whether Berry is in it or not.

BTW what does that mean? Did you see it? Did it suck? I haven't seen it yet so why would I not want to see a Ghost Rider movie?


I'm a comic fan so MORE comic movies, specifically Superhero movies, sounds good to me.
