X-Men 3

Major disappointment.

Spoiler:

You don't fucking kill Professor Xavier. At least when he's played by Patrick Stewert.

Also.

Spoiler:

Cyclops. What the fuck. What a wasted ass character. I mean I know he sort of has the personality of a plank of wood, but he didn't need to die.

Then the aforementioned wasted Psylocke, but that's just because I have a hard-on for her. For some reason she has her Crimson Dawn powers sans the Psychic Knife, but when she uses her "shadow leaping" powers, it looks like she's some kind of Kitty Pryde rip-off. There was barely a shadow on the wall she comes out of.

There were a few good action 'moments,' like Juggs versus Wolverine, but the movie overall just felt like a waste of seven bucks. I couldn't get over how annoying Storm was, too. She just seemed forced into every scene, which would've been okay if her personality and presence were more established in the first two films. This movie just felt like a Storm overload.

Spoiler:

Why didn't Magneto help Xavier when he was getting raped by Phoenix? Mags just felt SO out of character right there.

At least I got to see a full trailer for Snakes on a Plane and Clerks 2. That Pulse movie (which is yet another Japanese horror remake) actually looked better than it's source material. God, the original sucked ass.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I went to see the movie again today, this time with my family. While they enjoyed it, they still found the deaths in the movie a little jarring. My father thought the "rebirth" after the credits to subtract from the film (I thought it kind of fit, considering this is a comic book and these are comic book deaths).

After seeing it again, I liked it more than I originally did. The scene in Jean's house was well done and I particularly liked the music that occupanied it. The movie's fun, but it still managed to bug me for many of the same reasons I've already mentioned in this thread.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Magneto was practically out of character throughout the film.

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

The films are set in too "realistic" of a world to feature anything like the Shadow King or the Shi'ar Empire.

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

Spoiler:

Moira and Charles were very good friends in the comics. I believe they were lovers at a time, but broke up over some stuff. I don't recall. This was also a recurring plot in the '90s cartoon.

I was speaking idiomatically.

He was certainly more interesting than all of the new villains (minus Juggernaut) combined.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
