This concludes the Xtraordinary series run wherein I rewinded back the X-Men movies & posted my fave scenes from all of em...Just finished rewatching X-Men Origins: Wolverine & while X3 had many great CG scenes, however ineffective they may have been in the whole scheme of things, I just didn't really find a scene in X-Men Origins: Wolverine that REALLY excited me!
Probably because the story itself is so mutated- the Origins have been changed A LOT compared to what they were in the comics & characters have been thrown in just to keep the fans happy (when in fact, it resulted in quite the opposite)!
Anyways it's not like the movie didn't have it's moments AT ALL...They were some great scenes. My personal faves? Well the first HAS to be Wolverine taking on the helicopter! Cool scene! And the second fave is Deadpool showing what he can do with a katana for the first time in the movie!
Once again the fans' uproar against this movie probably led to the fact that there are no "fave scenes" vids on Youtube. So this time also I give you the "Legends" trailer of the movie from marvel.com itself which contains snippets of both the scenes I was talking about before...
Right now I'm just glad that X-Men: First Class has managed to rejuvenate (as I hear & have read) the X-Men series on the silver screen...It's FINALLY releasing tomorrow in India (though they did have paid previews today itself that I was unaware of!! Arrrrrgh). So goes without saying I'll be watching it tomorrow itself :P! Expect a full (spoiler-free) review in the days to come after that...
Looking forward to see what comes next- X-Men: X-Grads or X4! And it better have Mr. Vaughn at the helm & Singer as producer! :D

Xtraordinary! X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
We are down to the third X-Men movie in the Xtraordinary series! Now X3 did have many great scenes (although the movie as a whole is an entirely different story!). The main problem is that these scenes only seem to be inserted for shock-value & to deem the movie trailer-worthy! And all of us know that though the movie sucked, the trailers were awesome! (Thankfully something that didnt happen in the case of X-Men First Class I hear).
Anyways so as a result to what a huge dud the movie was (critically), there aren't many videos from X3 available for the scenes that I actually wanted to showcase out here :(
The scene I wanted to post out here was mainly the one in which Magneto stops the tuck holding Mystique & helps her escape. Other scenes I liked from the movie: Mystique in the interrogation room, Storm flying, Angel's wings & Magneto's bridge transportation (although this was one of those scenes that really wasn't needed & was just used for the drama & CG. Couldn't there have been a huge trailer truck on the road that the Brotherhood stood on top off & Magneto move that entire truck. But where's the fun in that! lol).
Though the transformation of Mystique was done well it wasn't my favorite scene cos I remember when I first saw it I was PISSED they made her turn human so early in the movie! lol
Bottomline is that the video posted below is a X3 trailer, but hey, it contains most of the best scenes from X3. Enjoy!
Next stop- X-Men Origins: Wolverine! AND THEN? I'll be going to see X-Men First Class on Friday! WUHOO!

Xtraordinary! X2 (2003)
So as promised here's my fave scene from X2! I think all of you guys might unanimously agree it's gotta be the opening sequence of Nightcrawler's attack on the White House!
The blue smoke effect looks amazing! And when the action goes into slo-mo it's just spectacular! A really well executed scene from SInger...Great vision!
After X2, Nightcrawler really became a fan favorite, & all us X-fans were shocked by his exclusion from X3. But i guess Singer might've included him if he was at the helm...
Other standout scenes from the movie include Storm's tornado X-Jet escape, Wolverine's fight with Lady Deathstrike & Magneto's escape from his plastic prison. But none of these scenes are as EPIC as the one I've posted with Nightcrawler doing what he does best. Nooo, not attacking the White House! Bamfing of course!

Xtraordinary! X-Men (2000) Pt. I
In this "Xtraordinary!" segment, I'll be showcasing clips or artwork from X-media that I really love...
Now, X-Men: First Class has yet to be released out here in India. It was to release on the 3rd like everywhere else but has gotten postponed to the 10th :( So I thought why dont I rewatch the previous X-movies & post clips of my fave scenes from em?! It's more awesome than posting a review or something like that. Besides there's no point of a review cos we X-fanatics must've watched em an umpteen number of times anyway lol!
So I've finished watching X-Men (2000) & my first fave scene from the movie is posted below...
In this scene, Mystique's first-EVER transformation is shown & to say it's glorious would be an understatement (for me at least). The way the scales rise & envelope her body with such grace & beauty is gorgeous. And I especially love the way they enclose right down to her toes! When I watched the movie today I dunno how many times I rewinded & rewatched this scene frame by frame just to see the way those scales move...And dontchya just enjoy the face kicking she delivers to Senator Kelly?? Geez this chick doesn't even need a gun! lol
The above is a slightly weird video i know (the uploader seems to be some sort of feet fetishist! lol) but the video still serves it's purpose here :P
Personally, I think the makeup & prosthetics for Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique is WAY better than what Rebecca Romijn had to go through (Rebecca's makeup is too shiny to look like real blue skin & the prosthetics look a wee bit plasticy imo) BUT from what I've seen from the trailers I didnt go so gaga over Jennifer's FX transformation as I did over Rebecca's. There seems to be much more detail to that of the original trilogy's Mystique than in First Class. But I can only say for sure once I see it on the big-ass screen on the 10th! :D

Xtraordinary! X-Men (2000) Pt. II
Hope you guys enjoyed that last video scene as much as I do whenever I watch that scene in the movie! Alright now onto our next & final Xtraordinary video for X-Men 1!
Yes, both my fave X-Men 1 scenes involve Mystique cos as you may have read on my Blogger profile that's the movie that made me fall in love with the X-Men canon & especially with the Mystique character.
In this scene Mystique has transformed into Wolverine & the two Wolverines claw at each other for some time. Then my second most thrilling scene in the movie occurs: Mystique jumps into the air as Wolverine, transforms into her true-blue form MIDAIR! Amazingly done! And some really great wire-work done by Rebecca...Enjoy! And do share your fave moments from X-Men too!
