Yeah, the make-up team did an awesome job. It doesnt look like Grammar at all imo. In fact until you just mentioned it, I had forgot.

This is the only thing that annoys me about the movie so far, is that there was so much more that could have been used, villian-wise. Instead it looks like Magneto is taking the fore-front of the role again (and more anti-mutant black op government agents?). I dont know about the Brood, but seeing Apoc or the Sentinels on the big screen would have made me jitter with glee.

And in the scene with Wolverine and Storm standing around the burned out buildings and stuff, did anyone else get a Future's Past storyline vibe from it?

Whatever the case, I'm sure if it was worth his time he would have taken it.

The Beast makeup looks like ass... why hire Kelsey Grammar if you're going to hide him behind 10 lbs of prosthetic makeup?

**Dolemite** · 06 Dec 2005, 01:54 PM

Because then people would bitch that it looked like Kelsey Grammar and not Beast.

You find me a hairy blue fucker, and I'll tell you that he won't need 10lbs of makeup.

I thought the trailer looked very good.

Way better than I would have ever thought, I'm even satisfied with Juggernaut since he seems like one of those Gladiator types given superhero form. My only minor quibble about the helmet is that it's sort of similar to Magneto's but that was bound to happen I guess.

Like I said, Kelsey as Beast is fucking perfect. I have a feeling that his voice will just perfectly match up and he'll sound alot like the cartoon/comics. The Brotherhood looks formidable finally, it has alot more members and power. Halle's Storm looks better since I'm digging that wig and she looks to be played up more prominently alongside Wolverine as leader and co-leader. It's not too far off from the comics from when Cyclops passed to torch to Storm to lead the X-Men and it came out well.

I'm still very worried about Cyclops, it looks like he's going to bite the dust. Out of all the characters in all 3 movies he got the short end of the stick. He should have been alot more prominent in the second but in the first he was actually ok since he did more. Wolverine and crew look exactly the same costume wise so I'm a bit disappointed that they barely modified them. Usually with each movie costumes get changed even slightly so that it would look a bit better and higher budget with each iteration.

Anyway, I can't wait for this.
