Ororo Munroe: Storm Appreciation 2020

lololol
oh I know shes a good actress that I dont think can be denied. I absolutely loved her in dorothy dandridge but also really liked her in roots, boomerang, the bond movie, etc. she is a very versatile actress.

I didnt see her in that movie is it good?

She did do a good job as Dandridge. If you like John Wick movies, which my husband and I do, you'll like Berry in JW3. She actually broke one or two ribs making that moving, that's how hardcore they got on the set with their stunts. I loved her character in that movie. If you watch, let me know what you think.

Yes, watch them in order. One flows right into the other. Berry is only in #3, though. If you like high body count movies then John Wick is your man.

yo I dont like lobdell's writing of storm. I will admit this. he allegedly didnt like storm but there some cute storm moments in xmen issue 60-61. here are just a few:

fast enough to dodge cyclops blast



creates flash flood to take out cyclops possessed by csndra:



created a blizzarcane:



her ability to solve the mystery within this issue was also nice to read.

What happened to the girl who created Jamil?

What happened to the girl who created Jamil?

Storm says we take her home. But Storm doesn’t specify where is “Home”. I thought Storm took Karima back to Cairo.

From my recollection of casting, once Angela Bassett was deemed “too old” for the role once Bryan Singer finally got X1 off the ground, production wanted a “known” actress for the Storm role. The last 2 names that came up for the role were Stacey Dash (who was firmly straight-to-video fare post-“Clueless”) and Halle Berry who was coming off acclaim for acting and producing “Introducing Dorothy Dandrige” and scooping Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson among others getting the biopic onscreen.

That being said, Berry is an actress with a particular range. She’s great in some things (“John Wick 3”, “Monsters Ball”, “Swordfish” etc). The role of Storm in the FOX movies almost never played to her strengths and she was never served by The Director nor visual stylists in the series. There are aspects of Ororo that She could play the hell out of but that wasn’t the story the movies were interested in telling.

Burn it with acid.

Burn it with acid.

i can't bring myself to rewatch the X-Movies on Disney plus. I'm sure there are ppl who love them but they just make me cringe.

[Devaishwarya]

Pretty much.
As superhero movies go they did not age well...at all.

[Dipter]

Yeah, I have to agree. I can't watch those films without cringing at all the Jean/Logan moments, and that's coming from somebody who typically ships them.

[yogaflame]

It's like, how did Fox get handed the X-Men lore and come up with that ****? Like, did you even look at anything? (No, no they did not.)
