X Men 3


Spoiler Alert.

Saw X-Men: Last Stand yesterday. Not bad at all, some really good set pieces and more meat on the plot. Halle Berry's hair has definately improved. It has a kind of blue hue. Nice.
My only problems with it really were the waste of Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones is fine..but don't let him speak), and the half-assed discarding of Cyclops. Ok, they never made much of him in the previous movies, but still, it is Scott Summers. Might want to make a little bit more of killing him.
Otherwise, though, it rocks. Kelsey Grammar is ace.

You're going to have to make that 'Spoiler Alert' message a bit more prominent - I lurched straight into the body of the text and missed it!

Ah, fuck it, I never liked Cyclops anyway...

Too little too late, I know...but how's that?
As for Cyclops, it's just kind of really weak the way they dump what is a major character.

JC said...

Much better, thanks!

Good to see you and Mrs Zero last night.

Now everyone seems to have seen it, you really can't spoil it. Cyclops has been a complete twat in the films, and not much better in the comics. Trouble is when anyone dies in the X-Men They just get more popular, and come back again and again. Morrison even ressurected Unus the Untouchable, one of my faves from the old days, who died back in the 80's when his forcefield became uncontrollable and he starved to death, even though his mate Blob tried to save him.

Cyclops was missing?

Gee.... i never noticed?

(By the way JC, do you really only want team members to comment? I came up with such a good one as well ....)

Halle looks lovely. Perhaps I should dye my hair blue.

Molly Bloom said...

Oh goodness...you inspired me...I dyed my hair purple today. All hail Halle. I'll probably get sent home from work.

I shall say: 'I refer you to Dominic Zero.'

Dominic Zero said...

Nice. It's inspired me too, to look for another Halle Berry X-Men photo.

Molly Bloom said...

Excellent. She's got such lovely skin too. I notice a tendency towards shiny cat-suits. Hmmm. Perhaps I should do pic of me doing a Halle in some kind of lycra cat-suit with my purple hair. I'll use a hair dryer for the blowy look.

Dominic Zero said...

Anything shiny basically works for me.

Molly Bloom said...

Wahey! Shiny!

Molly Bloom said...

Right, I'm off to try and set up a re-enactment in the garden. Does anyone want to come and be those extras in the background. I think I've got an old front-grilled heater that you can pull apart and use as that mask thingy.

But where is my shiny leather stash? Attic I think.

Doppelganger,

Sorry about that. I'm fairly new to the blogging experience, and some of the setings might have been set to 'default'. This is, of course, a code worse than the De Vinci one for 'I have no idea what I'm doing'. Mea culpa.

Da Vinci, damnit, not De Vinci!

...OK, I'll go quietly...
