Yeah, she’s a hottie. And she showed herself to have an awesome voice on the last season of Californication.
just to be clear, but I’m talking about The Punisher 2004 version, not the 80s version.
I don’t know much of the back story on the X-Men so I can’t tell how well it followed the storyline but the movie was really good.
Who was the actress that played Mystique? Man she had a smokin’ bod (in her blonde form).
Nazi Kevin Bacon

Jennifer Lawrence.

Do you think he’s really fluent in German, French, and Russian or he just sounded that way? Reminded me of the guy in Inglourious Basterds…
Michael Fassbender is badass.
Kicked ass.

There were two Punisher movies, right? I am positive that Jane was in the first one (which I liked, if I recall)…but I never caught the second one. I thought that was a reboot but I’m not sure.
XFC was a great film, period. I think we’ll ALWAYS find something to nit pick about, but this film was great and had minimal Hollywood gimmick. When I say “minimal,” I mean I expect to give an…allowance for a mainstream film such as this.[/quote]
On point 1, yes there was a second Punisher film after Jane’s film, extremely violent and the profanity took away any decent plot (I don’t even think there was much of a plot). There was also a much earlier film with Lundgren (i think).
As films go, XFC was brilliant, it ranks far ahead of the super hero movies of late (Dark Knight series excluded of course and perhaps IM and Hulk are debatable good movies). Characters were well developed, story kept together very well despite co-ordinating many different super heroes.
Question - so Alex Summers (Havoc) is Scott Summers dad or something?

Movie was great. I thought the movie flowed well, and the origins of how the characters developed was well done. I particularly liked how well they pulled off the movie setting back in the 60’s. It was very believable and nailed it in great detail.
They need to do a Magneto movie all on it’s own. [/quote]
At this point, I don’t trust anyone else to direct a serious comic book film except for Christopher Nolan and Jon Favreau. This director might pull of a TRUE “Origins” movie, but I would still expect it to pander to the laymen. I dont’ want that in an “Origins” movie. Not a chance.[/quote]
Sam Raimi, Bryan Singer both did a good job with the films they were given. Neither of them is Nolan but considering the benchmark of Inception and Dark Knight I don’t think many directors would come even close (to Nolan).

I didn’t hate it like I did X3 but it certainly isn’t my top comic movie, I would put it just over Daredevil but under the Tomas Jane Punisher as far as like factor.[/quote]

The Punisher was a “cute” take on that character and nothing more. Hell, a real Punisher movie would be covered in blood and exposed brain matter. Jane COULD have been a very good punisher with a decent script…but they didn’t have one.
Rating this below Punisher means I should avoid your opinion on any other movie.[/quote]
I’d say Punisher: WarZone deserves a fair viewing, Prof.
I enjoyed XFC thoroughly, even though I hated the first trailer they put out.
Magneto was the fucking man.
Wolverine having a Khalid moment was awesome too.

He didn’t speak German like a German would
He didn’t speak Russian like a Russian would
Don’t really remember his French
So no, he just learned the lines. I think Matt Damon did a way better job with that in the Bourne movies. The guys in Inglorious Basterds were great.
Good movie. Some flaws, but Magneto and Professor X more than made up for them.
I saw the movie last night and enjoyed it. Gave it 3.5 stars. I did find the young mutants’ training a bit hushed but hey, that’ s what a montage is about…
As for Kevin Bacon, it was good to see that he hasn’t lost his swagger…
Oh, and Magneto rocks, as always…
Magneto has always been my favorite villain of ANY story line. Just a brilliant character, which is why I hope they don’t give him the Hugh Jackman Hollywood treatment in an Origins movie. (That obviously means I didn’t like it).
I think they should cast DarkNinjaa as Storm.
(but I bet Storm answers messages, no super power required!)

Havoc is supposed to be his brother. Havoc was on X-Force, I believe.

I think he meant the Jack Bauer movies…or one of those spy movies where the guy has the initials J.B.

Sorry dude, but I’ll have to disagree. The movie had the right idea drawing inspiration from War-Zone (which to me is one of the best series I’ve ever read), but it fell on it’s head in the execution. Poor plot, poor acting, weak villain. Plus, the ‘flow’ sucked. What would’ve been nice would have been using Barracuda or Ma Gnucci, but whatever.
I’m waiting for a version of the Punisher that actually does him justice as a character. I mean, this guy is a serial killer of criminals, and in Warzone has been doing it for 30-40 years. That’s fascinating. In the movie incarnations however, he’s always just the dude with a haunted past, ‘fighting bad guys’, and having flashbacks of his dead kids.
