X-Men 3

Already posted a lengthy review in my journal, but I'll join in the random bitching.

I don't see why everyone keeps saying "everyone dies", when

Spoiler:

it was only 3 notable people, and one of them comes back in the end.

If there's one death I was upset over, it was

Spoiler:

Psylocke. As if it wasn't lame enough that they made her a bad guy, she doesn't even do anything notable. What a complete waste of a well-known character, they should have saved her for a fight with the Shadow King.

Making part 4 about Mr Sinister and Cyclops might save the series, but that probably won't happen for another 5+ years.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's got a flaming chick who can atomize people. I think the line's been crossed.

Plus they could always come up with a semi-convincing story for Shadow King. I still prefer Mr Sinister, followed by Apocalypse.

But screw them both, they need a movie with nothing but Sentinels.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I was kind of surprised with Xavier. Just the way he talked to Wolverine rather venomously at points shocked me since I never really knew an incarnation of Xavier that was ...well...mean. Not that it really bothered me, just something that stuck with me when I saw it because I didn't expect it.

In a sea of out of character moments in this movie, Professor X was probably the biggest asshole out of anyone. It was even worse when

Spoiler:

in response to her promotion to team leader (once again, in an attempt to appease Haley Barry's bitching), Storm asks about Cyclops, to which the professor pretty much answers "fuck him". No sympathy at all for the man who has been both a surrogate son and the most loyal student he will ever have.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I know the game was supposed to reveal why Nightcrawler isn't in X-men 3, but what was the real reason? Internal conflicts, or was Ratner simply incompetent to realize he was the most well received X-man from the previous movie?

Also, could someone tell me what reason the game gives for Nightcrawler's no-show in X3 (so I don't have to play it)?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
