I just got back from seeing X-Men: The Last Stand. Yes, huzzah for my local theater! Well, I'm not going to spoil any, but the short of it is, I had high expectations for it and it left me utterly underwhelmed. If not all-out pissed-off, I'm still deciding.

The beginning is all right, and then it quickly fades into the "Who the hell wrote this sub-drivel?" show. The dialogue is cheesy double-fat cheese cheese, and good gravy! The characterization! *brain fries* Basically, EVERY ONE was dumbed-down as low as they possibly could stoop, until they were conveniently disposed of, one by one. I cannot believe some of the crap that happens to them. It's like, *blinkblinkjawdrop* That didn't just happen. *blinkblink* *facepalm* *cringe* And okay, Storm's eyes turn white when she changes the weather, WE KNOW THAT ALREADY. Can we say "annoying"? (Oh yes, we most definitely can. Sheesh.) And the timeline is definitely the most screwed-up I've ever witnessed in my LIFE. Laughable, really.

On the bright? side, there were quite a few Typical Fangirl Moments. Which isn't the most intelligible reaction you expect a movie to create, anyway. I highly doubt this was the type filmmakers had in mind: omgthehood!!*gasp*OMG!! TEH!! HOOD!! adsdalkkajhkjh *deddedded* You'll know what I mean. I'm of the Hugh-J-is-sex-on-legs persuasion, by the way. Also, if you're a ship-whore like me - subtext ALL over the frakking place, it's crazy.

Final scene broke my heart, but the ending as a whole? Made me pinch myself. My gosh, I'm going to wake up and see the real thing tomorrow. And bam, end credits, lights, this was supposed to be it. Pfyeah. When I'm all bitched out about this, I'll watch my DVDs of the first two again and pretend this one never happened. Because, just... It shouldn't.

p.s. Angel = awesome. Too bad he was so outrageously underused.

this has very little to do with anything, really

I had a dream the other night that we were watching X Men 3 on TV, and I was amazed because it hadn't even come out in the cinemas yet. And then I woke up very confused, because I don't even like X Men.

*coughs*

:D

OH MAN! That sucks! I'm glad I read this because now I won't expect much.

My friends went to a screening tonight - one said it was awful, the other said it was "okay" and they both agreed that the entire cast was underused with the exception of Halle Berry, who is wholly pointless. I was so eager to see this movie six months ago, and now...I may wait. Which is sad, because I saw the other two in the theater.

PS: I agree with you about Hugh Jackman.

Damn and I thought this movie looked so cool.

I'm of the Hugh-J-is-sex-on-legs persuasion, by the way I agree with you :D

Ah well. I'll just skim through the movie and say I watched it =]

Sorry you had to be traumatised *patpat*
