Magneto.Loves the Metal and the Cinema!
Lets face it the X-Men was awesome, X-Men 2 not so much and X-Men 3 hands down awesome (my views may not entirely match anyone’s here and probably no ones!) but the movies we will want to see are the ones based on characters for example next year we have Wolverine in the his Origins movie. So today when I saw this over at Spoiler TV I was like heck yeah!
“The original X-Men film began with a prologue that showed the character as a child being led to a concentration camp by Nazis and that is the period in which the Magneto film will take place. This setup will allow a future villain to at least flirt with the designation of protagonist since the character will be seen almost exclusively in his formative years.”
“The storyline will heavily involve Professor X, the wheelchair-using X-Men leader. That character was a soldier in the allied force that liberated the concentration camps. The professor meets Magneto after the war and while they bond over the realisation that they are alike in their special powers, their differences soon turn them into enemies.”
A Magneto movie will kick ass into the next millennium!, thoughts on this?
Oh man, X-Men 3 was dire, and they’ve been diminishing returns since the first film If i’m honest…
But a Magneto movie would be something i’d be interested in for sure, just like the forthcoming Wolverine movie. The problem (aside from Bret Ratner) in 2 and 3 was way too many characters for my liking, it was much better in the first movie with just a core group of x-men. Characters developed as did storylines and you actually cared about what happened to them. Same deal with the spiderman movies… more characters does not equal more awesome.
Focusing just on one character I think might lead the series somewhere good.
Oh and as for x-men 3, I fucking love Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift, so I can’t talk.
I’ll let you off with you liking TD =D
