i've been an x-men geek since i was like, 10, so i have plenty of thoughts after watching this sneak peek.
- angel. seeing him bust out of those straps, spreading his wings, jump out the window like batman and fly off. he actually looks angelic. it is pretty much exactly how i envisioned what he'd look like in real life. especially seeing his wings strapped down to his back. reminds me of how he used to do that in the first series of the x-factor comics. excellent on-screen adaptation of the character.
- frasier beast. his blue make-up looks too much like... make-up. but other than that, excellent casting. sideshow bob has the perfect intellectual-sounding voice, and makes beast sound like the genius he is. i only hope that his fighting skills surprise me the way nightcrawler did.
- the black chick (whom i think is callisto) that runs fast is hot. and that girl with the bright pinks streaks in her hair. if that's psylocke, i hope she has some good screen time, and i hope she's as hot as she is in the comics LAWL.
- i don't like halle berry as storm. never have. her 'acting' doesn't work in this type of role. storm needs to be played with someone with more of a commanding presence, which is important since she's second in command to cyclops. the only good thing is that she looks like a better storm this time around (especially her hair). i'm hoping that her supposed increased role in this film will help dispel my feelings.
- cyclops. i know they only showed him in that one little scene, and that he's dealing with the loss of jean grey and shit, but i find it funny that he looks way more grimier than wolverine. i've always pictured cyclops to be a clean-cut pretty boy, so it's hard for me to see THIS cyclops as the professor's hand-picked team leader.
- i hope that fat asian dude is the blob. i'd like to see him in a good fight scene haha.
- i'm anxious to see how big of a role kitty pryde has. that one scene she has with
THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH! looks pretty cool. she's supposedly in some sort of love triangle with iceman and rogue, and i'm hoping that it'll help to further develop their characters.
- peeps that look badass: pyro as magento's young protegé. colossus and kitty as regular members of the team. jean grey, in dark phoenix mode. and like i mentioned above, angel.
- my wish list: a million cameos by other mutants from the comics, and since magneto assembles an army of them, chances of this happening are high. iceman, going into full icemode the way he does in comics. a colossus/wolverine 'fastball special'. and last but not least, PSYLOCKE PSYLOCKE PSYLOCKE.
holy shit i'm such a geek.
