This interview has made me slightly more excited to see this movie. I don't know if that was your goal Ed, but that's what happened.

boring!!! this interview has succeeded in making George Bush's speeches interesting, that's how worthless this interview is.....WHY DON'T YOU ASK QUESTIONS THAT ARE GOOD?!!!!! QUESTIONS THE WHOLE GOD DAMN INTERNET IS ASKING!!! example....do you think that the fact that the original first class is not in this film hinders it at all? how did you feel about not having the original first class? do you think that the film is redeemable of this because it captures the heart of x-men; the discrimination, childhood trauma, the racism, especially since it's based in the civil rights era? can you tell us anything about the action? does beast get a lot of wire work? THESE ARE THE KIND OF QUESTIONS YOU ASK!!!!!!

THE FIRST QUESTION I WOULD ASK AT FOX STUDIOS IS, "HAS ANYONE HERE ACTUALLY READ AN X-MEN COMIC? FROM FRONT TO BACK?" all you would hear are crickets after that question....fuc.kin' morons...

he is the visual effects supervisor, not Matthew Vaugh.

he would talk about the effects, not about the story decisions, you know?

fullmetal, why don't you chill out? First off, as it was pointed out, he's the visual effects supervisor, so he's going to talk about the visual effects. Second of all, it was the first question in an interview with more to follow. Third, with all due respect, I think I know how to handle myself in an interview, but by all means, if you can score your own please do so and I'll be happy to check it out.

And, yes, Dykstra worked on the first two Spider-Man films. He's also the guy who handled the effects on the original Star Wars.

interesting.

Im having the feeling the effects on this movie will be some of the best of the x-men franchise.

sorry, it just seems everyone has their heads in the clouds when it comes to this movie...like there's no sense of urgency in trying to make it succeed...

lets be honest guys.
This movie wont be a masterpiece, but at the same time it doesnt need it.

But it will be a really decent movie, with a good script and cool action sequences.

so the hate on this board only comes from the fans of the comics that were expecting the original five.

Forget that during some months, and enjoy the movie for what it will be.

and next, let's wait for the sequel with the awaited Scott, Jean and Ororo joining Beast, Havok and probably Banshee too.

Im sure most of the haters will end liking it.

but anyway, they will see it and then their opinion will be more realistic.
