Hoping Ottman brings back his X2 theme and reuses Jackman's FC theme somehow.

[Jonesy 55]

Ottman won't use Jackman's theme.

[crocodile 9,534]

Bring back the television theme.

Karol

[Wycket 36]

Ottman won't use Jackman's theme.

I wouldn't be so sure. He used the same ideas for Mistique as Kamen did, and we know he's used previously established themes before. I don't think they'll be any big statements of the stuff Jackman did, but I wouldn't mind Magneto's stuff from FC to be referenced.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,938]

Jackman's theme seemed like a variation on Ottmans theme anyway.

[crocodile 9,534]

Which in itself was sort of a variation in Kamen's.

I'm actually looking forward. Ottman is doing better with each big film he tackles.

Karol

[JoeinAR 1,956]

this film is looking HUGE.

[Sharkissimo 1,977]

Aye, great to have you back Joe.

[Jay 45,403]

Too bad Powell isn't scoring this, would be a good return to live action action scoring.

[Koray Savas 2,259]

Is that Ellen Page in the middle? She's still doing these?

[Jay 45,403]

Still? She was only in one before. This is her second.

[Koray Savas 2,259]

Wasn't she still a nobody when The Last Stand came out? Didn't think she would come back.

[Jay 45,403]

Every actor from the original trilogy is back (apart from Cyclops and Jean Grey, natch). Have you not seen this?

For a movie about time travel I'm surprised they didn't find a way to work them in. Probably could have inspired some rather emotion scenes.

Well didn't they recast Kelsey Grammar?

[BloodBoal 8,218]

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262]

He is insufferable. Never should have replaced Kelsey Grammer.

[Jay 45,403]

Kelsey Grammar IS in the new film.

[BloodBoal 8,218]

[Jay 45,403]

It's just a cameo, the First Class Beast will be in the majority of scenes.

[BloodBoal 8,218]

[Trent B 354]

Kelsey Grammar IS in the new film.

Not according to the cast list on IMBD.

[Koray Savas 2,259]

Surprising that they got so many people to return. These films are awful.

[crocodile 9,534]

Here.

I actually liked him as Beast.

Karol

[Jay 45,403]

Not according to the cast list on IMBD.

Wait a minute. Are you saying there is some WRONG information on the Internet? No way.

[Richard P 5,145]

Surprising that they got so many people to return. These films are awful.

I liked the original and First Class.

Have yet to see 2 or 3.

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262]

You're not even a fan of the first two, Koray?

[Koray Savas 2,259]

Nope.

[JoeinAR 1,956]

Surprising that they got so many people to return. These films are awful.

No they are not.

Surprising that they got so many people to return. These films are awful.

No they are not!

[Wycket 36]

Surprising that they got so many people to return. These films are awful.

You're surprised a lot of actors probably took a nice paycheck for a couple of days work? This is mostly a First Class sequel, all the others are just there to try to bolster ticket sales, sorry, establish the story.

[crocodile 9,534]

As I said before, it's also a tool to completely reboot the universe and recast roles for future films. That's time travel magic for ya!

Karol

[gkgyver 1,647]

Who's the Desmond Hume lookalike?

[A. A. Ron 2,460]

It's young Xavier with a beard. Did you not see First Class?

[gkgyver 1,647]

Why should I? I've seen more than enough X-Men films.

[A. A. Ron 2,460]

I don't know -- why ask questions about characters and details if you don't even give a fuck?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,938]

He's just being his usual dickhead self.

[crocodile 9,534]

Apparently, people expecting a musical sequel to X-Men 2 are in for a disappointment.

Karol

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,938]

X2 isnt that good of a score.

[crocodile 9,534]

Well, it is or it isn't. But it would have been nice to have some kind of continuity. I guess his theme/motif wasn't dark enough for this film?

Karol

[BloodBoal 8,218]

[crocodile 9,534]

I don't know for sure if Ottman completely abandoned his material, but it seems that that is the case for the most part. In any case, the score is nothing like the other one in terms of style.

Karol

[Jonesy 55]

Indeed. The snippets from the score I've heard sound like a blending of orchestra with RCP sound.

[Richard P 5,145]

I don't know for sure if Ottman completely abandoned his material, but it seems that that is the case for the most part. In any case, the score is nothing like the other one in terms of style.

Karol

Good!

I find most of X-Men 2 quite boring. Don't think his theme is particularly good either. I'd welcome a 'reinvention'.

[crocodile 9,534]

I'm not sure is this kind of re-invention you had in mind, Rich.

Karol

[Jonesy 55]

Thanks for the warning. Another disposable entry.
