Storm’s class 4? She sucks ass! Well, at least in the movies I thought she was pretty lame. In 3 she got the crap kicked out of her the whole movie until the very last scene.

Speaking of which, the mutant that kept kicking her ass, the one with the piercings and tattoos: Is that a known mutant from the Xmen series, or some random mutant that was just created for the movie?

Something that irked me in this movie was the sudden use of mutant ‘Classes’ with utterly no explanation whatso ever. Everyone just automatically understands and uses the new term. “I know that no one in this room is above a class 3, except you.”

I went and saw this with my girlfriend and she turned to me and went “What the fucks a class 3?”

I guess I never even thought about that, but now that you mention it, it does seem odd. Was there ever even any classification discussed in the comics?

I imagine they primarily did that to simply show how far more powerful Phoenix was than every other mutant out there, but I’m wondering if it was something solely improvised for the movie.

Cool, thanks for the info.

That was (excuse the Geekness) Callisto, leader of the Morlocks.

Ah, thank you for your sharing of the Geekness.

Morlocks huh? I could swear I’ve heard that name used in another movie before…

Was the “Morlocks” ever actually spoken in any of the XMen movies?

I told my girlfriend we had to stay through the credits because I heard there was “more stuff” afterwards. She stayed, even though she was about to pee in her pants.

After sitting through 12 minutes of credits, we saw the “big surprise”. She watched the all of 3 seconds of stuff and bitched: “WTF?! Is THAT all?” and then hauled ass to the RR.

I have to say that I wasn’t impressed either, to say nothing of the fact that I already knew they were going to pull something like that with X anyway.

That was the reason for the facial markings.

Either you guys both don’t remember the scene and how bad Famke’s legs looked, or you both are incredibly desperate and would actually consider her legs to look nice. Wow. I honestly suspect it is the latter.

I’m with you on that — I’d expect more muscle tone on someone who used to be a dude.

Morlocks were also a race in “The Time Machine” by Wells. They were the underground bogeymen that preyed on the Eloi hippies.

That’s where I heard it before! Gary Sinise also talks about them, in reference to The Time Machine, in the movie Ransom.

Thanks Crispy.

it sucks to bump this, but for what it’s worth, I thought the movie blew.

If you look at the mutants they have casted for the movie, it’s a pretty good list (they needed nightcrawler) but anyhow, the crap they produced with what they were given was awful. There were way too many stories going on that they barely told anything about any story.

I don’t care what kind of mutant or anything the kid in the white room was. The juggernaut has practically unlimited power. Besides, a 900 pound human running full speed with a suppossedly indestructable helmet into a wall, would at least dent it. It’s not even a munant power debate, it’s physics!

It was a waste of my time watching the movie I feel. I guess I had high expectactions and was excited to go see it and then it totally bombed in my mind.

If omega red is in the room with the morlocks then why does castillo say there are only 2 level 3 mutants? Omega red is clearly powerful enough to be a level 3.
