I thought X3 was decent. It's far from the car crash some people make it out to be. The main problem with it is that it's not X2. X2 corrected every problem with X-Men and delivered some more. It was thrilling, had some cracking set-pieces and cranked the story up several notches without betraying the atmosphere and nature of the story and characters. X3 didn't really have anything which hit the ball out of the park; so to speak, whereas X2 had loads of different elements all working in unison.

As for this clip, I was feeling ok about the film before I saw this. I know it's a montage so it's edited to hell but it looked generic in look, confusing and I think that mini-trailer set the record for the most cheesy cliched lines of dialogue in a one minute clip.

Looks like Fox is continuing their fine run of the recent year or so....

I think James Cameron is about the only (decent) creative mind still working at Fox.

And I can remember thinking The Girl Next Door was one of the better made teen comedies of the past few years, even if the concept was a familiar one. Tim Olyphant and Emile Hirsch gave breakout performances and Cuthbert hadn't and still hasn't been 'hotter' since then.

All positive stuff here... I truly hope McG has sorted his issues with this film and done the franchise justice.

It's the best look yet, even if it isn't much. It's just nice to see James Cameron back doing sci-fi. He's probably the best science fiction director still alive and working in Hollywood.

In my opinion, Cameron automatically gets complete confidence and trust for this project since (if we exclude Piranha 2 which he didn't have much control over) he has one of the most compelling directorial resumes, which is nigh on spotless and just darn impressive. Titanic may be iffy but some of the action sequences are fantastic and you only have to look at Australia to see how hard this romantic epic stuff can be to pull off, and he did pull it off for the most part.

I know it's another picture of behind the scenes, and I'm/we're still looking for a good decent solid look at this film, my expectations and enthusiasm remain high. This should truly be an event film for all to see.

Like it or not, for the next few years she will be a star, thanks to the young massive audience of HSM. Whether she can cut it in more adult roles past HSM and Twilight is another thing but y'know I have nothing against her so good luck to her.

And yeah, it's an awesome move on the terms of the marketing and casting department if it is true. She'd probably add $5 mil on opening day grosses alone.

He's dead. And any twist to get him to come back wouldn't fit in the world that Nolan has created for this Batman.

It's a shame that the Joker can't come back and that they killed Two-Face off, but shit happens and I'm guessing they cut the whole mortuary scene out of The Dark Knight for matters of time and for the rhythm of the ending. A new Batman film could establish new territory with fresh villians and a new dynamic now that Batman is the 'bad' guy. I don't see how you have to re-hash things, especially since TDK took very little from Begins. Nolan is too much of an original director not too repeat himself if he can.

I can see Slumdog taking this. I think it's got the big 'mo' and Boyle gets best director, it's basically signed, sealed and delivered. That's (of course( if the best director award is presented before best drama, which to be frank - I'm unsure of.

I'm not completely sold on this film, however people who've seen longer stretches of footage say it's sublime and Pixar haven't made an average film yet (I quite like Cars even if it is a league below the others). Hopefully this film allows for the 'Golden Age' of animation to carry on for a few more years...

I too wish them all the best. I love Dexter but they're merely actors on a (admittedly great) television show and what they do onscreen is what they do for a living. In short, I hope all goes well for them.

You can bet your damn Megan Fox will be on the final poster. She's half the selling point of these films for the teenage/geeky/FHM audience. That and the giant robots smacking the two shits out of each other...
