X-Men: The Last Stand

Posted on | May 27, 2006 | 7 Comments

This movie bummed me out. I know that there’s a difference between movie X-Men and comic book X-men in terms of characterization and continuity, but WAY too much stuff happened that seemed totally out of character. Also, it was really anti-woman to an astonishing degree. I mean, if Halle Berry’s Storm is the strongest female character in the movie, that is just sad. On the other hand my main expectation for an X-Men movie is to see Hugh Jackman shirtless, and at least that expectation was fulfilled. I liked the little scene after the credits.

    I was so disappointed by this movie! My friends and I groaned a lot and laughed in all the wrong places. Too many mutants and too much plot crammed into a small span of time.

    I was psyched to see Multiple Man, however. I have the world’s biggest Jamiecrush.

    I liked seeing Multiple Man too, that was one of the parts of the movie that I did enjoy.

    Man, as big as Multiple Man fan as I am, I was still disappointed.

    Jean’s storyline was awful! And I saw the misogyny too. It was awful.

    [...] 13.) This is The Last Stand, but the short little clip right after the credits allude to a fourth one and there’s been talks of a Wolverine spin-off. Although every X-Movie seem to be just about him – but that’s another story. I would just like to see one thing – Wolverine wearing a mask. I’ve grown up with Wolverine wearing a mask, and as much as my wife and others love to see Hugh Jackman, my fondest memories of Wolverine going beserk all contains him wearing a mask. [...]

    X-Men 3 – extra scene at end (spoilers!)

    I saw the X-Men 3 movie today; really good!
    However, I was asked to fill out a “Producers’ Questionnaire” with part before and part after the movie….

    I was filling in the part after the movie, and low-and-behold, an extra scene came on briefly AFTER all the credits were over….

    spoiler:Xavier’s voice (don’t remember what he said) talking to a nurse in a hospital room…Has anyone else seen this, or was it just for “Questionnaire” people ?

    I saw X-Men 3 a couple of weeks ago and I loved the film. It is a very relaxing amusement. I really loved the special effects.

    Like the 3rd spiderman movie, they just tried to do too much and failed epically. This movie was quite terrible, and I agree about the out of character stuff. I hate when that happens in movies, especially when I’m fortunate (or unforunate, depending on how you see it) enough to know a lot about the characters and what they would actually do.
