salineaJust saw X-Men 3 :
Overall not a bad movie, but probably my least favourite of the three. Though the moral dilemnas were interesting and well set (remember me of a short story by Greg Egan about Scientist finding out how to effectively "cure" Homosexuality), there were too much cheesiness overlaying the important plot points. Too much was predictable and I found myself not much emotionnaly involved with the characters. The writing of the dialogues was I think not as smooth as they'd been before and I get a feeling of lack of finish because of that.
They probably did better in the usage of their powers cleverly in various plot points than they did before, but I hardly care about that ^^
I love Kitty Pride. Total fangirl. Best moment of the movie was her against Juggernaut.
I really loved the symbolical usage of Angel. He's character wasn't important as such, but he really brought a poetic intensity to the story.
Beast was simply perfect.
Storm bored me as usual. So did Iceberg, but that's no fault of his ^^
I really liked the conclusion of Rogue's storyline, small as it was, it was fitting and well done.
They mostly wasted the Phoenix storyline. Though I'm hardly a Scott fan, and even though his death had a use to bring down the "anybody could go" feeling, I think they probably shouldn't have killed him. The story lacked resonnance because of it.
I love Wolverine, I really do. But they should learn not to use his character when it doesn't bring anything more. Cool anti-heros are cool because they're not center-stage, otherwise they lose cool points.
Lastly, CharlesxEric OTP.
And the very last scene was very clever ^^

Oh! Joss Whedon's is great! The first run is about the Cure.

Date: 28 May 2006 10:28 pm (UTC)I only checked out the first of the regular Ultimate thing, and the first crossover with X Men (which didn't make any sense to me because I didn't know the characters)
I thought the regular Ultimate story was pretty good. I'd like to check out the one for X Men some day, if I find someone I can borrow it from ^^
Oh! Joss Whedon's is great! The first run is about the Cure.
Oh, that same storyline ? I wagger he does it better ^^
Is it out in TPB yet ?
