- That's a case study in how tone on a line reading changes everything. - Reagen Jul 6, 09:34 2
  - or the reader/character. Magneto could have made that delivery sound solidly menacing. -- nm - Max Jul 6, 10:19 1
    - Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 10:30

^this. X-men proved if you do it seriously you can have a success. Spider-man 1 just did it bigger -- nm - Remlik Jul 6, 09:29
Not close to the same degree. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 09:27 18
- Disagreed. X-Men broke the ground, and then 2 years later Spider-Man refined it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 09:30
- And such a trainwreck of a movie. -- nm - David Jul 6, 09:29 13
  - X-Men was a trainwreck of a movie? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 6, 09:37 12
    - Yes, it's a blueprint example of the dangers of deleting too many scenes. -- nm - David Jul 6, 09:39 10
      - and somehow, X-Men 3 was even worse. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 6, 10:07 2
        
        And then Wolverine worse than that. -- nm - David Jul 6, 10:15 1
        
        can't wait for Magneto. - groiny Jul 6, 10:15
      - Outside of them missing on Cyclops....I have limited problems with it. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 09:56 1
        
        Since Mel wants it dropped, all I will say is that it's clear that Singer had to drop most of the story and only left in the "action". -- nm - David Jul 6, 09:57
      - we shouldn't talk about this. - Mel Profit Jul 6, 09:41 4
        
        What was the other movie? -- nm - David Jul 6, 09:50 3
        
        I'd like to stay married, thank you. - Mel Profit Jul 6, 09:52 2
        
        we'll talk about this later. - Diva Jul 6, 10:30 1
        
        you're getting a spankin'. - Mel Profit Jul 6, 10:31
    - 2 was better -- nm - J Jul 6, 09:38
- Well yeah, 50mil vs 115mil. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 09:28 2
  - Raimi was hired five months before X-Men opened, so unless there's a time machine involved... -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 09:31
  - this. -- nm - Remlik Jul 6, 09:29
