The savign grace was that atleast Gambit was in it and I got to see him. I hope they make a Gambit movie. THAT would be a blockbuster

@ Queen of Wakanda,

I feel your pain – Storm is one of the greatest X/Marvel characters there is and I was disappointed with how her character (and Cyclops) was treated in the trilogy.

At least we can expect a remake in a few years, heh

So to all Gambit and Deadpool fans — I hope they do you justice. I’m still waiting for mine!
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!

I was more than excited when I heard they were finally casting Gambit in the movie. Taylor Kitsch seems to be a good pick for a young and brooding Gambit for this leg of the franchise. He can act and has lots of facial similarities with the current comic book version. However, I was upset by the trailer and stills showing Gambit without his trademark black and red eyes. It’s part of his look and his appeal in the comic books.

They were able to pull off the eyes of Mystique and Nightcrawler with special contacts in the previous X-films so…what the hell happened with Gambit’s eyes?

I hate to sound like a jerk because I have always been a huge X-Men fan and supported the X-films, but with the technology, special effects, and make-up available today, the crew could have done something about Gambit’s eyes for the film.

I persoanlly think that’s what the X-fans are dying to see as a challenge Hollywood would overcome and bring to life for the audience. I, like many other X-fans, will see the movie regardless, but if there isn’t a plot twist that ultimately shows Gambit’s trademark red and black eyes, we X-fans will be utterly disappointed.

Hugh and Taylor – Good luck and please don’t disappoint us!

When I first heard that Taylor K. was going to be gambit, I was kind of sad. I like Taylor, especially on FNL, but him as Gambit??? HECK NO!!!

So, a couple of weeks ago, I was web surfing Gambit as usual and saw a couple of pics I’ve never seen of him. He was in a fedora looking hat, a dress shirt and his hair was shaggy and down. He reminded me of someone from the 40’s Gangster era.

Then I finally looked at the movie trailer. I usually dont like to look at movie trailers for Super-Hero type movies because the trailer can f**k it up for me. I saw Taylor as Gambit and well….he looked like Gambit did in the picture surprisingly. Okay….but where were his red eyes? And I’m a cajun girl to the fullest, born and bred in Louisiana and as God as my witness, if he f**ks up the accent, I will swear off these movies forever.

Oh yeah…great blog Rob. Enjoyed your insights dude. You took some of the words right out of my mouth.

what im really here for is to pitch out the plot of what x4 should be about.

ok here it is… well i was a little thrown off by seeing gambit in wolverines origin but this can actually help out x4.

ok so after seeing san francisco almost totally destroyed the us government is ready to do something about the mutants . now seeing how powerful they really can be, senator kelly hires an outside agency ran by trask and gyrich to come up with an idea of how to capture mutants. so they create the sentinels. so the sentinels go out and do their job and they start kidnapping mutants. and one of the mutants they kidnap is rogue. so the x-man are summoned by xavier (who is still alive in my version) to try to save her. but they fail. so wolverine comes out and says he knows a guy from his past who is a master thief and can break into any building or establishment without getting caught. and his name is gambit. so wolverine goes out to louisiana and tracks down gambit for his help. with a little convincing of some money and some great cuban cigars gambit agrees. so gambit goes to ny to help the x-man. gambit is successful in breaking in and rescuing rogue( but it wasnt an easy mission). gambit becomes very attractive to rogue so he decides to stick around the x-men. xavier feels that the sentinels are a threat not only to mutants but to society so he orders the xmen to destroy the sentinels and their base. so there is a final battle between the x-men and the sentinels and the x-men succeed.

wolverine,gambit,cyclops,rogue,beast,storm, xavier

bad guys. senator kelly , trask , gyrich and the sentinels.

this movie would be the closest one to the comics and i believe it would bring back a lot of faith in us fans. what do you guys think?

I can’t imagine them sticking to that story. It wasn’t play time or stab someone with 3 claws and rainbows came out the holes.

It’d be amazing for adult content, but…
