Christ. It's 10 times worse than I thought. I hereby firmly place my vote in the "CGI or really, really good puppetry would've been better" category.

Well, I will say that I remember expressing serious disbelief when I found out that Elijah Wood was going to be cast as Frodo.

I did. I am looking at a 6'0" Ex-Wimbledon player whose previous fame is being "Bullet Tooth Tony" portraying a 8'8", five foot wide wall of muscle and aggression. My dissapointment is palpable.

There are even WORSE pictures out there than these. Aint It Cool News or Dark Horizons linked to them about a month ago (sorry, can't dig them up while at work). One shows Colossus metal'd up crouching next to Rogue during a battle. What sucks is that his metallic arms look like metal plated plastic tubing sewn into the costume. His face makeup also looks like silvery makeup you can buy for a Halloween costume. I was expecting some quality CGI work to really bring Colossus to life but it looked like a really bad half-assed attempt to save money.
And wait until you see the band of "evil" mutants this time around. They look like homeless goths with an over-abundance of hair gel and a wardrobe stolen from The Matrix.

It's the loss of Singer that did it. Stupid Superman.

And Jackson made normal sized humans look like hobbits and dwarves, things can be done to fool the eye into percepting different sizes and depth.
I would just like to see the finished product before I dip into my fanboy side thats all.

Aw, come on. How can you say that? Vinnie Jones practically screams Juggernaut.
Of course, he screams it like a girl, but still.

Out of curiosity, what real person can you think of who could portray a 8'8", five foot wide wall of muscle and aggression?
Even the tallest NBA star isn't 8 feet and they are usually stringy...
But Colossus looked fine in X2, could this and the pics of Juggernaut be stand ins for CCG to be added later? There was so much promise at the end of X2 with the Phoenix. Why Singer, why? For Clark F'ing Kent?

I'd think he'd kick your ass for that. He used to play football (soccer) I'm pretty sure!

As you can see here, Mr. Jones certainly has the "aggression" down, but not really the whole "bigness" factor.
Perhaps i'm just being an alarmist, but if Hollywood has made so much else look reasonable. Almost attractice. Perhaps they'll get this right, but that just doesn't look anywhere close to OK. Every other example you've given, Mayfield, I felt "so-so" about when I looked at it. This I just feel 100% bad about.

Mabybe they will replace all the other characters with anorexic midgets in scenes that he is in to make him look much bigger.

I thought Colossus looked fine in X2, though the actor they got to play him was a bit of a pretty-boy.

I liked Bullet Tooth Tony... if that counts for anything

Juggernaut isn't exactly a complex character to act. You get a big guy, he destroys things.

I think he was better in "Lock, Stock, and Two Smockng Barrels" Than Snatch.

I liked him in Snatch but Lock, Stock, and Two Smockng Barrels FTW.

It's amazing how a lot of the costumes used in movies look like crap out off the big screen. Did any of you see that Star Wars exhibit at the Smithsonian? Most of the costumes looked pretty cheesy. I must admit this looks pretty bad, though.
Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
For the people getting hopes up about CG, he was in the X3 trailer that came out a couple of months ago and looked exactly as he does here.
My days of not taking you seriously have certainly come to a middle.

Ok, disregard my previous comments about the Halloween makeup... instead it looks like a clunky silver mask...
I looked around and I can't find that picture of Rogue and Colossus anywhere now. Also, for those Vinnie Jones haters, you better get used to him because he's signed to appear in X4 and X5 (if they actually make them).
Lastly, a little blurb from Ratner on the pics floating around...

That looks pretty cool, Lock. Is it the same buff kid from X2?

Some pre-release shots look like someone just snapped them with a disposable camera, oh god I think I'll kill myself now.

Well, Colossus was a pretty boy.
And Colossus did look fine in X2 because they used an extremely well-done CG effect for his metal skin.
I'm totally expecting to be disappointed by X3.
