ew i suck (and movie review/rant!)

You Are Cyclops
Dedicated and responsible, you will always remain loyal to your cause.
You are a commanding leader - after all, you can kill someone just by looking at them.

Power: force beams from your eyes



and while i'm on that topic i'm just going to go ahead and rant about "X-men 3: "the last stand"... if you haven't seen it then you probably shouldn't read this because i'm sure there will be ***spoilers***

DISCLAIMER: this is all my personal opinion. how i saw it, from where i was sitting. and i am somewhat of an old-school x-men fan and take this stuff kinda personally. so don't hate.

first off, the movie itself, as just a summer flick to go see with your friends: just fine. it's fairly entertaining with plenty of action and special efects blah blah blah.. go see it if that's all you want.

the movie as part of the x-men saga: disapointing.
because you CAN'T just go around killing off half of the characters and then set it up for a fourth movie! you just can't! now they'll either have to bring them all back to life somehow, or pull in other random x-men.

i was especially upset about xavier.. that was so totally wrong. you don't just kill proffesser x. he's like the god of the x-men legend. he CAN'T just die. and not like that. i mean really. couldn't he have a more noble death for him than some war of the worlds (people exploding) rip off?! jeez. i almost cried.

character development could have been better. namely for angel. he was pretty much just in the movie to look pretty in the previews. he barely had any part in the actual plot. just "hey here's me with my pretty wings being all angsty. yay!" and the whole thing with phoenix was predictable for any x-men comic/cartoon fan. but sadly that was nothing like it should have been either.

one thing they did do good on was the character of beast. he was probably my favorite in this one and i don't think i would have done him any differently.
oh and storm's hair was pretty cool.. :)

juggernaut was retarded. i'm sorry. but really? "i'm the juggernaut, b*tch!!" yeah. nuf said.

and the "big fight scene" between ice man and pyro.... could have been soooo soo so sooo much better! but it was too short! it was like "i want to beat you down through the whole movie" "oh now we get to fight! hey why don't you just die after 10 seconds of DBZ fighting!" ..boo.

so i asume for the next one we'll have to bring at least one character (if not more) back to life. and the stuff that made everyone loose their powers will wear off. cuz that's what always happens. duh.
i'd really like to see them put gambit in the next one.. and then at the same time i really don't want to see them put gambit in, for fear of them totally ruining one of my favorite characters (like they did rouge... poo on them).

so on a scale of 1 - 10.. 10 being highest:

story/plot - 5/10
character developement - 5.5/10
special effects - 8/10
fight scenes - 6/10
dialogue - 3.5/10

over all rating - 6.8/10

all that being said, i actually did enjoy the movie (for the most part.. big surprise huh?). just those few things i have complaints about. so yeah....
