"way to go, Furball" (Logan on Hank)



WOOHOO! Finally get to see X-men 3 : The Last Stand! Ummm... Just a reminder that the following would be a MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD! As in I would talk a lot about the movie probably dissing it at a couple of parts within the movie...

Okies first up, what's with the lovey dovey scenes that seems to engulfed the whole bloody film. Yes ok you can argue that it becomes an important part within the movie for the character developments. But talk about the goddamn original lines they've put into the movie! SO GODDAMN CLICHÉD!

Storm (looking at Logan): "It's not whether THEY can or not, it's whether YOU can."

err... uhuh... then there's the scene where Angel "rebelled" against his father.

Warren Worthington, Sr.: "Warren, it's a better life. It's what we all want."
Warren Worthington III: "No, it's what you want."

AND just for that overused quote I did mouthed the quote BEFORE he even said "no it's what you want".

ok ok I know I'm being WAY too critical on this movie. But I can't help rolling my eyes at several scenes... AND I don't think Halle Berry is really cut out for the part of Ororo Munroe aka Storm. First of all, she's too short. I'm kidding. But I always admire Ororo as someone who is in a way multi-faceted. She's not someone who is too girlish and is not an expected person. When I read the comics her character gives up this vibe that is constantly changing according to whatever situation she is being put into. When she becomes a leader she would be someone who is superior yet understanding, when she's a friend she becomes someone who is reliable, when she becomes an enemy she is someone who will be feared. Halle Berry is predictable. Of course I can't explain it in more ways than that.

Mystique is cool! (hehe) But such a shame that she has to change back because of the cure. And it's such a shame that Nightcrawler is not there anymore. *sigh and it's such a shame that Rogue was jealous of Kitty... Why the hell is Kitty so... childish? She sat open-mouthed and blank faced. It's not fun being irritated like that!

Haha and I was kinda hoping the lower part of Wolverine's clothes would somehow come off coz of Jean's power hehe you know in the last scene where Jean was destroying everything and then (clichéd moment) Wolverine walks up piles of rubbles trying to stop her (hehe)

Another clichéd moment:

Jean: "You would die for them?"
Logan: "No... not for them.... for you."

Yeah no laughing matter though that was quite serious.

Lastly, they cramped so much minor storylines that in the end it feels... cramped. It does! I ain't kidding. I kinda wished everything would go slowly coz the characters develop WAY too fast and the emotional and sentimental sides of the stories are kinda rushed a bit...

ok ok I know I'm being WAY too harsh on this movie. I like the previous two better though. But I would probably find faults when I rewatch them all over again... hopefully not.

To conclude, I like it. Not in a favourite movie kind of way but it's ok. I like how Magneto moved the bridge (what was the bridge called again?) that was way cool. And it was funny how the mom locked the car door after they moved the bridge. And then Magneto rolled his eyes (hehe). AND OMG Beast WAS THERE!! O..O I like him too!!! It's such a shame that Professor Xavier died TT__TT *hicks... I like his character the most... o well... that was the story anyways...

Although the movie has quite a handful of actions it was being overlayered with romances... after all romanticisms always rule don't they?
