The Kennedy and Magneto magic bullet idea is the best thing to come out of that interview.

I dont give a shit either. Smells like another European conquers America movie.
There got that out of my system. Still, I wonder if this movie is going to be Magneto-centric. If so what a shame.Last edited by RolandJP; 05-25-2011 at 04:17 PM.

lol Roland, what are you talking about?
Anyway, Matthew Vaughn is great. I just saw Layer Cake and was mesmerized. If you're ever in Chicago, Vaughn, send me a PM.

Lets see. Given that the plot is also about how Magneto became...Magneto then why shouldn't it? Originally Posted by RolandJP

he doesn't give a shit?
well.....the last person, who was proud they didn't know anything about the character in his movie was Ang Lee's Hulk.....
I love the X-men, been a fan since the first class...actually WAS the only class, so I have a hard time buying a ticket for this miss-mash.

Yeah, he came off as pretty arrogant in that interview. I don't think I can give a shit to go to see his film, now that I think about it. Originally Posted by Dreighton

Really, these quotes made me more excited to see the film. A film is a film and a comic is a comic. Originally Posted by kalorama

Yeah, I don't get the hate for him, he said exactly what every director should think when they make a movie. Originally Posted by kalorama

I agree. Might as well call it 'Santa Maria: First Class' or 'X-Men: 1492'. Originally Posted by RolandJP

That being said, Ive heard good reviews. And XFC will wash the stank of X3 out of my eye sockets."Until the Lion writes his own story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter." - African proverbs

Regardless I'm just glad to see a movie that actually looks like a X-Men movie.

Magneto has always been a sympathetic villain though... that's pretty much his whole shtick he's not really a bad guy he just has a different point of view. And the movie is about the X-Men, it's just a different group of them than we usually see, nothing wrong with that as an interchangeable roster has been part of the X-Men's charm for a while now.

Also, since when is the whole "magic bullet" thing a sacred cow? It's a conspiracy nut theory that is a huge joke so it being explained away as trickery by Magneto is just a further play on that asinine theory.
