She was not a huge star when she first got the job, same with Fass. Also, maybe they enjoy the comic movies. Some people like to have fun. And they get to work with Ian, Hugh and Stewart?

I question your pessimism.

Does not matter, thankfully that shit movie got erased.

Phoenix was not formed and destroyed. No shitty Stryker in X2 and origins.

They do not need to depower Apoc. Keep him up there, that way it takes everyone to take down him and the horsemen.

My beef was blink and bishop were pussies. Blink could tear up all of the sentinels. Bishop was lame and that weapon. And iceman, he is an omega level mutant at that point in his life. Storm could also conjure up multiple category 5 tornados.

I am happy they made all of the previous movies null and void. And we do not know Logan does not have his claws, tons of shit still could of happened in fifty years.


Also, I hate speed as a superpower. Sonic booms and opening doors would create tons of force in rooms with that speed. Nothing would stop speed but an immovable object. But Quicksilver was fun to watch.

lol. No.

Nobody will pay ANY actress to play Mystique the amount of money that Downey Jr has been paid to play Iron Man. First off, Iron Man is an infinitely more important, and popular character than Mystique is.

They could easily do an X-Men film without Mystique and never miss a beat, much like they've done X-2, 3, First Class, and Days of Future Past without Sabretooth. One would imagine with how they've made Wolverine the focus for so many of these damned movies, he would have been in more of them, and moreover, done correctly, but whatever. Wolverine is supposed to be short, hideous, and permanently ill-tempered also but what can you do.

Not only is Mystique expendable as a character, but Jennifer Lawrence is now the second actress to play the character, and quite honestly she doesn't hold a candle to what Rebecca Romijn brought to the screen. If she's hoping to pull in that kind of payday, its going to be playing another character in someone else's universe.

It would have been cool to see the X Men put in some work on the future sentinels.

Colossus was such a pussy.

I am sorry you are offbase.

They ended up getting diamonds instead of coal with Fass and JLaw. They will make sure those characters are front and center of the movies. Just like Hugh was when he blew up. The actors themselves are going to make them staples in the movies regardless of the stories being told.

Will she hit Downey Jr money? No. She did not help reignite the stage of upping the level of comic movies, and she is not a solo star in the movies. She was part of a big group and a 3rd tier actor then, now she is a A lister.

"Lawrence’s rising star is paying off for the latest “X-Men” adventure. Nearly three-quarters of ticket buyers said that they were motivated to see “X-Men: Days of Future Past” because of her role as the shape-shifting Mystique, according to a survey by online ticketer Fandango."

Personally I think actors get too much credit/blame for how a movie does, but studios take this kind of thing very seriously. She won't make as much as Downey did because an X-Men movie probably won't make $1.5 billion, but she could get a piece of the gross like Downey did.

I just don't get the love for this character. No slam to Lawrence.

Always a bit player usually moved as a plot device or retcon loophole...

You don't get the love for the smoking hot bod wearing paint and glitter? Okay.

This is a comic movie.

Every woman in the comix has a smoking hot bod.

Storm is smoking hot. And an interesting character. And is skilled in hand to hand combat.

And is played by ****ing Halley Berry.

Yet she gets less screen time than naked Smurf ninja...

I thought it was bullocks...

92% on Rotten Tomatoes, for whatever that is worth. I expect to see it on Saturday.

Owned. And unfortunately Rogue was some flat chested emo girl. So much fail.

Halley sucked as Storm, just like Cat Woman. She deserved less time on screen.
