Re: X3

I'm not really basing it on looks as much as attitude. As far as I'm concerned, appearance is the LAST thing when casting a character off a comic or TV show(not the last thing but you get the point).

IMO, the number 1 thing that Gambit has as a character is the *coolness* factor. You need to get somebody to project that. I dont know, the characters yall listed are a bit too smug for me. Diesel probaly wouldnt be a great fit and you might want to keep him from the heavily dramatic scenes as much as possible, but I think he has the charisma to play Gambit.

Look at what happened to Cyclops....guy looked the part and had decent acting skills but he had ZERO charisma and that killed the character.

Re: X3

Actually...James Marsden is a pretty decent actor, but the movies really dumbed down Cyclops, all three, because they apparently wanted to make Wolverine to be all-powerful, when Scott was really the leader of the X-men and they made him way too big of a *****, for lack of a better term, in the movies.

In my opinion, of course.

Re: X3

If there is a 4th and Gambit is in it the role will likely be filled by a no-name actor. The biggest obstacle facing the franchise is the fact that there are too many A-list actors involved with the franchise who command top dollar. Any new characters added will likely be small-time.

Exactly. That's why I feel Josh Holloway would and should be a strong candidate to play Gambit. IMO he has the look and charisma to play the role without being a "big name"...at least not on the scale of Diesel or Depp.

Re: X3

And Cyclops didn't really get "snubbed"

I just don't think they wanted to waste the time re-casting him, so they killed him off early and didn't worry about it

Same deal, they killed him off rather than go through the hassel of re-casting him, which is just lazy.

And I agree that Marsden is a fine actor and it had more to do with the writing than his performance as to why Cyclops did not succeed as a movie character. He was basically there just to be Wolverine's foil in the first film, and then when that angle was out-played for the second they just threw him in the background. I'm not really a fan of Cyclops in general, but he did get a raw deal in these films.

I was disappointed with this movie! The action was great the plot in my opinion suck! I don't know what the comic book was like, so maybe that was my problem with the movie!

Re: X3

Does anybody know why they haven't released the entire cartoon series on DVD yet?

ABC/Disney acquired the rights to the show awhile back and has since shown no interest in releasing it on DVD, same with Spider-Man. Maybe they're afraid of Fox profiting from its release because it would help generate hype for the films? They even took the show off of their Toon Disney channel. I dropped some money two years ago on a bootleg copy of the entire show's run that is quite crappy (Disc 2 doesn't really work, and when it does it works for about 15 minutes at a time) and I'd love to be able to purchase something official. It was a pretty decent show and the first season was great. X-Men Evolution has been released in its entirety, it would certainly be nice if the original follows the same trail. It seems like everything but X-Men, Spider-Man, and basically every other superhero cartoon owned by Disney have been released on DVD.

Re: X3

I've seen it up on ebay, try searching there

Re: X3

Anything on ebay is a bootleg. There has been no official release of the series aside from a few stray DVD's and the first season+ on VHS.

Re: X3

It'd be really cool if they could release the entire thing, that and Spiderman, on DVD.

i'd certainly buy both in a heartbeat.

The old old Spider-Man cartoon series is on DVD

Re: X3

I think he meant the 90's Fox Kids series. Though everytime I see the '67 series box set I wonder why Disney has chosen to release that but not the 90's series or X-Men. Someone there needs to take a look at ebay and see how much people are willing to pay for crappy bootlegs, they're sitting on a gold mine.

Re: X3

Yeah...I meant the semi-old Spiderman, not the old-old one, sorry for not clarifying.
