Are you asking for video footage? Short of copying the script, I'm pretty sure that is the most succinct and accurate, while still remaining objective, summary. Any more would, in my opinion, be making assumptions.longeatonram1 said:
Would just like to know what happened after the credits in detail(words) thats all since i missed it

Nope, it's Arclight. Calypso's not in the film. Callisto is the chick that helps Magneto track down Mystique, but Arclight is the Prince-looking chick.

Heres what happened after the credits
You see a man in a hospital bed, you can not see a face. A doctor or nurse is attending to him, and he has patrick stewarts voice. He talks and refers to the person attending as moira. It seems as those he has transferred his brain into the semi-coma no personality dude he was talking about during ethics class.
O yes, I was soo invovled with the woman that looks like Prince I forgot to type;
This was a rather good film, me and my 3 friends that went enjoyed it...

My issues with this movie.
1: Where the hell is nightcrawler?
2: Juggernaut is not a mutant. Therefore Leechs power should not have effected him
Overall I was happy with this movie although all the stuff I was expecting at the end did not happen. Hopefully they will explain all this in X4

personally, i loved the movie yet was disapointed with 2 things
SPOILERS
1: i was very dissapointed when magneto's army just lost soooooo easily and the fact that not enough cool mutant powers were shown
2: all my favriote characters either got hit by the cure and/or died.
3: (shrivels in disgust) in the beginging with the young angel and cutting wings
things i loved: i really though the pyro magneto flaming cars were pretty awesome, i was excited to hear that xavier didn't die!!, magneto moving chess piece(all time favriote character), and finally just all the cool battles!!!!

A Watchmen movie has been kicked around for a long, long time and it's still unclear if it will ever get made.eva01 said:

I don't know if it will for a long while.
I really want it to become a movie.
Such a good storyline
I'm a bit of an X-Man purist.. but as usual I suspended my comic book 'reality' for the movie. It wasn't too bad. Pretty good action.
Well, if it's going to be turned into a movie, I want them to do it the right way (and I'm not sure what that is). I wonder if it couldn't be turned into a mini-series? Anyways, it seems to me that there are a lot of ways that one could completely screw up a Watchmen movie and I'd hate to see that happen.eva01 said:
The only way Watchmen is ever gonna get made correctly is if some studio doesn't mind risking a boatload of money on a story that appeals strongly to a small core audience and almost not at all to the broader audience. Sort of a V For Vendetta-type deal. (Come to think of it, let's get the Wachowski Brothers working on this. Surely they have the clout to pull it off.)Lyle said:Well, if it's going to be turned into a movie, I want them to do it the right way (and I'm not sure what that is).

The graphic novel I'd really like to see made (besides Watchmen) is The Dark Knight Returns. Perhaps when Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale have gotten tired of the new Batman movies, they'll come back one more time for one FINAL Batman movie and do Dark Knight. I'd love to see Batman and Superman go at it on the big screen.

I liked X3 but not nearly as much as X2. Had Bryan Singer not abandoned the trilogy for Superman, X3 would have been a lot better. Which is why I will not be seeing Superman
^The Superman movie looked real good but after seeing the longer trailer they showed before X3.....i have my doubts

I don't know ...
Jean Gray / The Phoenix would have been done way better I think (why did she get all weird, I was expecting a massive fire bird that was allured to in x2 and existed in the animated series). Storm would have been bad like the first three, I thought she was much much cooler in this one.
I don't think he could have imprioved it much, the plot was set before singer left.
Well first of all, I just saw the movie, and let me tell you: it was rushed SO BAD. So bad that it wasn't even funny. One minute Magneto is at some underground gathering, the next he's making direct threats to the President. I mean, come on! They could have easily expanded X3 into both X3 and X4... Which there will so be an X4, since at the end Magneto moves a metal chess peice slightly... wow. I think they did a really good job with Pheonix (Jean)... at least with the visuals. Very enticing, but still... the movie could have been so much better, so much longer, and so much more exciting. It didn't even follow the real comic book. X1 and X2 was mediocre, definately made up but still followed the general idea, but X3 completely obliterated itself, I think mainly because the guy who wrote the first two movies also wrote the third movie's script, but then backed out and some other guy bought his original version and completely re-wrote the damn thing and added events that should be happening WAY more into the story line. Grr. That angers me. That movie dissapointed me. It could have been WAY better, I can guarentee you that. Double grr.watcher2001 said:
And the actors/actresses.
-Kelsey Grammar as Beast? Good one, if you want Beast to be compared to Fraiser (though he does play the part as an intelectual mutant, which Kelsey gets kudos, for the intelectual part, as he is actually rather enjoyable... still screams Fraiser).
-Angel? Sure, Ben Foster was a georgous actor for the part (like an angel), but all through the movie he was so fake. I couldn't stand it. He was always so... expresstionless. Also, the part when he saved his father; They could have totally re-did that part. Way too fake and I'm sure was created with very little thought in hand.
-I don't know why, but Vinnie Jones didn't quite work out for Juggernaut. They could have at least done differently with the accent he had.
-Dr. Jean Grey, the Phoenix. Famke Janssen did a fantastic job. Kudos.
-Otherwise, the rest of the cast was quite alright, as the characters from X1 and X2 were familiar and were set for that character, so bonus points for them not being changed/swapped/tampered with... too much.
I also enjoyed the visual/special effects, except for the house that was raised by Pheonix, while it zoomed out to the house actually being lifted (which you could tell they did not work very hard on... very detailed, I'll give you that, but nonetheless fake. Was very shimmery, gave false reflections, which, as being a house, shouldn't reflect anything. The water coming up underneath it was a disgrace and did no justice for looking realistic), and the part when Magneto was lifting cars for Pyro to torch and be thrown at the X-men. The moving of the Golden Gate Bridge was great though... I really enjoyed it. Great job with real physics and colors, reflections, happenings... very complete.
Anyways, back to watcher2001's quote, you do see nightcrawler, but ever so briefly. When Magneto moves the Golden Gate Bridge to reach Alcatraz to capture and kill Leech, and when he sends what he called "pawns" (when the mutants were getting shot down by 'The Cure'), then realizes that the weapons were plastic and has to have that one girl (her name escaped me) that performs shockwaves to disarm them, and then finally... No. It's come back to me now. Nightcrawler went in the, as I like to call it as of this moment, "pawn wave," when it shows all the mutants running off of the bridge to kill the Army, if you look in the far left, not neccesarily a corner but just the general left, you can see him disappear with his fancy black smoke, then re-appear. But, it was so far to the left that if you don't see the movie again in theatres, be sure to get the widescreen version because showing him will most likely be edited out. And then again, not showing Nightcrawler was so unorthodox to the story line... triple grr.
Well, as you can see I have a lot to say about this movie, and will most likely say more later in the night (morning) as it's 2:24:27 a.m. Later!
Bret Ratner & co totally killed X3. The plot was horrible. It was little more than fractured foreshadowing and pointless exposition.
Just to be spiteful I hope "Superman Returns" sucks too 'cause I'm pissed that Singer left X3.

I think this is what happens when long-time fans of a story have to watch a movie created for an audience that is familiar with the subject, but not the details. As a movie I liked the concept. But I really do feel this film had plot holes that could hold an aircraft carrier. And making juggernaut a mutant just so he could be in the movie...ugh.
Still, I loved the epilogue (especially the after-the-credits one).
Most of the battles were visually impressive.
Any top-down shot of Rebecca Romijn is worth watching - i can't help, she is THAT hot.
Angel (@ the beginning) was very moving.
Kelsey Grammer gave a very solid performance as beast, some really good delivery of some really bad lines.
The Jean Grey / Pheonix storyline was really compelling. But the plot holes definately affected my suspension of disbelief.
On the whole I was glad I went. But it's not a movie I have to own.

Even having been a long time fan of the comics, I still enjoyed the film. The deaths were unexpected, but I thought it was good that they took it there. Made it a much more realistic movie, so to speak. My only complaint is that it should have been longer. And I too wish that Brian Singer had stayed on.
Saw it last night. Thought it was absolutely terrible. Easily worst of the three and a movie I wouldn't go out of my way to watch again even if it was on TV.
A couple of stunning money-shots and yet with a cast of that talent, to produce something as dull, soulless and tension-free. Criminal.
