X-Men 3

I can't wait for the movie. The event that Magneto loved to foreshadow in the first two movies ("hay lets delcare war kthxbye") appears to actually be set into motion with X-Men: The Last Stand. That gets a plus in my book; it's a nice way to kinda wrap things up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll just download it after the nerds put it online 5 seconds after it airs. I don't want to catch any part of 24 by accident, since I've only seen the season premiere.

It appears to be the theatrical trailer. I quite liked it, but I'm a sucker for the style of the movies.

Enjoy. (Please, HD, come online soon.)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Personally, I feel like the clip's from an unfinished cut of the movie. It just has that feel to it. The score sounds off and the floodlight eyes are a little hokey.

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

It's not unheard of. The movie does have a release date of May 23, so it wouldn't be too off the mark to think that the movie's not 100% complete yet.

Besides, The Da Vinci Code showed off from pretty early footage with a temp score from The Ring. You don't get much more unfinished than that.

The theme for the X-Men is bigger than Ottman's and the motif for Jean/Phoenix is beautiful and unrestrained. Lots of anvils too - think Don Davis, not James Horner. By the film's finale ("Phoenix Rises"), the score reaches Lord Of The Rings perportions. I know I still have half the year left but this is probably the best action score of 2006.

I'll have to agree with your review of the soundtrack. I just finished listening to it in its entirety and I came away positively amazed. My attention was caught with "Bathroom Titles," easy, but it wasn't until "Attack on Alcatraz" to the end of the soundtrack that I went, "Wow."

You can't like every song on a soundtrack, of course, but I felt like the true standouts were the finale tracks. There were a couple of good tracks between Bathroom Titles and Attack on Alcatraz (Dark Phoenix's Tragedy, for example) that kept my attention, so all in all, I'd say it's a good soundtrack.

I'm just going to get to the point: so long as it entertains, it's going to satisfy someone out there. I came away satisfied even though I knew about all the nitpicks die-hard fans were going to have with the movie. I mean, it's a movie, for god's sake. No one cares if so-and-so's origin is inaccurate or isn't according to the book. This is an entirely different universe.

Spoiler:

The scene at the end where Magneto was sitting in the park and no one was playing chess with him made me feel bad for the guy. He just looked so lonely.

Then he had to go and wiggle that chess piece. Oh snap.

The scene after the credits with Moira and Xavier completely surprised me. I should've known better; after all, these characters come from Marvel. People don't stay entirely dead.

One other thing: I wanted more Angel! Aaargh!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Spoiler:

Actually, I just figured this out. Forgive me if it was mentioned earlier, but here it is anyways. I felt smart, so hush.

Early on in the movie, Xavier was teaching a class to some students and used a video from Moira to illustrate a concept. The video dealt with an apparently vegetative man. Xavier wanted to discuss the implications of implanting a mind into the, for all accounts and purposes, mindless body of a man.

Guess where Xavier ended up?

FELIPE NO

I'm gonna hafta go with this reason as my biggest beef with The Last Stand. I just watched the first two movies back-to-back earlier today and there was a natural transition between the two. There's just something missing between the second and third movies; I bet you that Bryan Singer had something up his sleeve for part three, and then Superman Returns called. That's just how it feels to me.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
