This movie was not good.
For years I vowed not to watch it because i was very upset that the cast from the first film were killed off. Many, many years later I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied at all. It was boring and so lackluster. After about 45 minutes in, I gave up. There were so many things that I didn't like about the movie. The main reasons being:
* The Rock taking over. Roadblock was not a team leader.
* Flint was actually the 2nd in command after Duke in the 80s cartoon but he is downgraded in the movie.
* I hated that Lady Jaye didn't have the short cut she does in the cartoon.
* The movie lacked the fun and excitement of the first movie.
* For all the "changes for the better", this movie made less than the 1st domestically. Worldwide it made more but not
dramatically so.
I guess the powers that be thought the likes of The Rock & Bruce Willis would make it a better movie. It didn't. It felt like The Rock & Willis show and not an ensemble G.I. Joe production.
Yeah, I remember. It's just a huge omission to not see her in the film at least once.
I recorded this but almost didn't watch. The trailer didn't show this movie in the best light. However, I'm glad I gave it a chance. I was pleasantly surprised. I agree that the chemistry between the two leads was nicely displayed. Other than a small over the top event at the end of the movie was a bit "too much", I really enjoyed this film.
I saw it in the theaters. I don't have any funny stories. Other than how bad it was (which is a shame because I love the first two), the most memorable part of my theater experience is when Meg Foster appeared on screen for the first time. There was a very loud gasp by several people. She literally looked like the walking dead.
That was Dwayne Chattman. He was just another of many, many fine men on that show.
That was quite an awesome scene. And it looked real too. The chemistry between Wilson Cruz and Christian Vincent was electric. I loved seeing Ricky vulnerable, emotional and romantic. He was my favorite actor on the show. And Wilson Cruz always, always seems like such a dream in real life and on screen. He just warms your heart.
Yes, yes and yes again! Merwin Mondesir is quite a looker. We all knew Wade would go back to Noah, but I wish we could have seen more of Dre. He was one of my favorite supporting cast members. I hated the fact that the movie didn't even acknowledge him. We don't know if he survived that crash or not.
Just re-watched season 1 after many years and I had to come here to see if anyone commented on T-Money's kissing technique. I wonder if he did that because he's straight and that's his way to not really kiss a guy. Maybe Patrick Ian Polk left it in because it was so bad that it was worth seeing. I did like the actor in his role but that kissing was beyond awful.
You're not alone. That's still my favorite X-men movie. It's far from a masterpiece but it has tons of action, emotion and some good laughs. Although it's been critically panned, it remains the top domestic X-men movie in terms of box office.
I haven't seen the movie yet and don't know if I will. Constantly having Mystique in this role has always been one of my biggest complaints about these "X-men" movies of late. The fact that she and Magneto take away so much screen time from the actual X-men is such a slap in the face to longtime fans. Cyclops and Storm who were actual leaders, take a back seat in screen time and capability in this current version of the group while so much focus is placed on Jennifer Lawrence and the guy who plays Magneto.
Hopefully the Marvel representation will be truer to the actual group.
