I am sort of new to the x-men, so I am verry open minded to poeples opinions. So if you like the movie, great! If you don't, I respect that.
I must say, I knew nothing about the x-men for the longest time. I would see tv commercials for the cartoon, but nothing more then that.
When I got a little older I learned it was also comic books,now you must know, most of my family grew up detesting comic books, so, likewise, I never read them.
When x1 came out in theatres I was like big woop, till about 2 years after that , i thought how dumb is that.
Well during the summer, Me an' my sis were at home 'cause my parents were still working. We were board out of our minds and there was nothing on Tv, so we were just clickin' through the channels and came across the x-men movie. It was just starting so we decided to watch it because there was nothin' better on.
I had landed on gold, although I never read comic books I loved scifi movies and horror flics not those mushy film 'cept for Runnaway Bride. I fell in love with the x-men movie and slowly became utterly obssessed wit' it. I strove to find out any info on the subject ,and watched the movie whenever it was on.
this behavior drove my sister nuts, even more of a reason to follow through with my new found happiness.
When i found out that they were making a second film my sister wished she were dead *heeheehee* me too we dont get on well. I had been watching the old cartoon,and i was intriuged by nightcrawler and the color blue was my fave color anyway*since thats the color of my eyes and have to deal with it every freaking day of my life anyway. soooooooooo going back on track, i became more insane after i saw x2. I don't really care if he has the tatoos or not, fur would have been cool, but being, as I am, one of the younger generation, we grow up without santa or the easter bunny basically 'cause the times have changed, we tend to expect more, things to be more realistic and believable. so it was kind of a good thing that they didnt give him fur b'cause it might have been too much to comprehend at one time, at least for the newer generations.
And as I see it if it's Nightcrawler it is perfection, as long as they find a way to portray his funny and carefree attitude that we all know and love.
By the way EVEN if Alan didn't do his best on x2 I still think he'll do better on the next, because if you have seen as many films with Alan in them as I have, you know how funny Alan really is and how well he portrays his characters, and how close his attitude can be like Kurts.
so whether or not you like this movie that is your opinion. Maybe I just like this movie so much because Alan is my fave actor, I adore him, but in my opinion it was a great movie. And his eyes I think they were fine, Ill explain, when he was being controlled you will notice that his irises were white instead of yellow, the same with Yuriko, her eyes were naturally brown but because she was controlled most of the time her eyes appeared light blue and the onle time you actually see her real eye color is when she starts to wake up from the drug while Stryker is talking to Xavier, and when Logan pumps full if metal, savvy? I believe that if NC's eyes were completely yellow in the movie, the effect of the drug changing his eyes color wouldn't be as good, plus like others have siad about actors using their eyes, Alan is a VEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRY eyes on actor.
so thats what i had to say, it was nagging me , and i do read comics now, mstly the Ultimate X-Men, my friends think i'm nuts but Hey thats why they love me.
:love
