Nope not buying the writing exuse. Ewan, Sam Jack, and Ian McDiarmid did just fine with that script and with their performances :francis:

watch your mouth about J Law B, she is great as mystique :ufdup:

I think Natalie Portman is extremely hit or miss. She's either great (V For Vendetta) or kind of annoying.

I came in to post this. She clearly doesn't one to be in the X-Movies anymore. Matter of fact, you can add Mockingjay to the list.

Does Affleck count?

Wesley Snipes in Blade Tragedy aka Trinity. I understand why though. :manny:

New Details Of Chaos On The Set Of 'Blade: Trinity' Indicate Production Was Doomed From The Start

"The fact that he would later sue New Line Cinema, writer/director David Goyer and Toby Emmerich, executive producer of Blade: Trinity, in a wide-ranging lawsuit seeking more than $5 million in damages, was certainly a nod to his disgust with the film and his involvement in it.

You might recall that, in the suit, Wesley claimed

- A violation of his contract;

- That the director (Goyer), the screenplay and the supporting cast were essentially forced on him, and he had no say in any of those choices; especially with the script, which he didn't care for, objecting to what he called the "juvenile level of humor" in it, as well as the fact that his character, the lead character, whose name is on the marquee, was marginalized, with focus being shifted from Blade to the 2 sidekicks (played by Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds) - the plan, Snipes claimed, being to set the stage for spinoffs featuring other cast members.

- Racial discrimination/prejudice against Goyer and the whole production. Specifically, that in contrast to the first two Bladefilms, in which efforts were made to select a multiracial cast and crew, Goyer and Emmerich "intentionally hired only white people," which Snipes claimed led to him feeling isolated and excluded. He also claimed that Goyer made racially motivated statements about Snipes being unprofessional and difficult to work with, and that Goyer refused to discipline a crew member who wore a racially discriminatory T-shirt on the set."

:scust:
