So... My commentary on a trailer...

[lithera]

X3...

So, why does everyone, except Storm have longer hair? It looks good but is that a 'passage of time' thing? I like Jean and Rogue's hair all longer but it seems almost absurd on Jean.

Nightcraw... Errr. Beast looks really bad in most of the lighting they show him in.

This already has a much different look to it, even from the trailer. Everything seems more 'real' if that makes sense. I'm not sure it works.

Storm does a lot of spinning about and kicking people. Is this really needed? I mean... Seriously.

And there look to be a lot of nice cameo shots for a lot of mutants in the background.... Wheeeee.

So, it comes down to me liking the look of characters (except Storm WTF is up with the black streaks in her hair?) and not sure I like the visual dynamic of the film.

I'm going to go see it. Who knows, Brett Ratner might have been granted some sort of divine miracle...

I'm sad that there's no Nightcrawler. I'm happy that they went with the "classic" beast look, instead of the furry-inspired cat look. Guess they filled their blue mutant quota.

Ehn. Nightcrawler looks to have been better executed than Beast has so far. Angel looks cool... I'm very glad they went with the classic look.

Yeah, Angel looked tres impressive.

It was needed for the ego of the Oscar Winning divabrat occupying the role of Storm.

Exactly. She enjoyed Catwoman so much that she wanted to bring some of that style over to this movie.

I must be the only person not impressed with Angel, and Beast does not sit very well either. Hopefully Ratner will stick to the source material and not make deviations like he previously wanted, like the hooker mutant the fought with pheromones (oy!).

Sadly, I think I spotted Stacy X in there - look for the Brotherhoodling with the trashy(-iest) costume.

In semi-related news:

I have not watched the trailer. I'm not going to until it shows up in a theatre.

I'm going to go see the movie.

But if it is anything less than unspeakably horrible, which is the absolute best I expect from it, it will in fact be a divine miracle.
