X-Men 3

I don't disagree that movies that are comic book adaptations should feel more like the comics themselves when being portrayed on the screen, however it is not a simple task in doing that translation. Some comic movies try it, and fail at it horribly.

With the X-Men however...I think we shouldn't base the movies off of the comics, but rather the writer's and director's take on the X-Men. Yes, I think The Phoenix and Dark Phoenix saga were amazing stories, but those were sagas, and I think what this new film will do is take the climaxes of those sagas and implement them to the big screen, along with main story. I don't feel Phoenix will play the ONLY major part of the story, of course.



But seriously...all in all...I think everyone in general just needs to relax and enjoy these films and not be so goddamn critical with every little thing and detail. It really has become that...more of a critic/judgement call, than a good time at the movies. I think we should just enjoy the movie, not get all strict. :/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well after seeing the film...I can't say I was disappointed in it, however the 'absolution' of characters were hit or miss with me.

Spoiler:

Cyc dying so early and hell, dying in general was ridiculous. Even though it happened in the comics, just the fact they would be bring that element in was just not worth it. And holy shit....Xavier...dead... That was just unbelievable. It was just very saddening to see the true leader and pinnacle of human and mutant peace...just die. Hopefully what BucPride said is true..and somehow Xavier is still alive through Magneto. Whoa..wait a minute...Mag and Xavier as one...Onslaught?

And what else....Dark Phoenix was defintiely evil. What she did was just unbelievable, and it's frightening in my opinion...to see how evil and dark The Phoenix was. So yea...they did a good job making her scary.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well about the Juggernaut thing...like soulsteel said...it's a universe based off of the main X-Men universe, and also the writer's and director's interpetation. I mean, how come no one is up in arms because Cain is Xavier's stepbrother?

And yea...Cyc is kind of one-dimensional, but I mean....he really should have had a bigger role. His wife died, and he's in the middle of a horrible depression. They should have tried to focus more on that. One of the things these X movies have is sub-stories withing the main story. It was the same thing in X-2, and I don't see why they couldn't incorporate more depth into those sub-stories, such as the Cyc one.

Spoiler:

But just for the record, that battle at the Grey's house was horrible. Not in a bad way...just to see Xavier fade away like dust, man that's disturbing. They really tried to make Dark Phoenix as dark as possible. I'm curious as to when did she receive the Phoenic powers...was it during her childhood, when Magneto and Xavier met her?

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

@VitaPup
I'm sure you know this but incase you didn't...

Spoiler:

The reason Storm was so IN this movie was because Halle Berry felt that Storm didn't get enough attention as she should in the past two films..hence so much storm. But hey, I think it's awesome Storm was really in this film, it showed her power and what she can really do. Plus, you gotta love when her eyes go white, hehehe.

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