X-Men: The Last Stand

A few things I didn't like about the movie:

1. Storm DOES NOT (for the life of God) spin around (seemingly) uncontrollably when she is using her powers...that's just plain ridiculous.

2. The Phoenix was never a part of Jean! It is a SENTIENT COSMIC ENTITY which fused/possessed Jean during the M'cron Crystal incident with the Shi'ar Empire...

3. Jean DID NOT kill Professor X...

4. I still think Scott/Cyclops looks like a 'toot'...so silly lah...his stupid visor and all that.

5. I DO NOT LIKE Halle Berry's new hair...yucks...

6. Why is Kitty/Shadowcat so damn bloody short?

7. What was with the lame-ass script? Some of the lines are just plain dumb/cliched/confusing...

8. Magneto = Class 5 Mutant = needs FOUR (count 'em F-O-U-R) needles of 'The Cure' to stop his powers? Sheesh...overkill..

9. Angel was a disappointment...Ben Foster just doesn't cut it...face too narrow, eyes too closely-set...not All-American looking enough.

10. Dark Phoenix is SO OBVIOUSLY a rip off from Buffy's Dark Willow episode... (right down to the black eyeballs, and pale, veiny skin)

11. Bobby/Iceman's Ice Armour was LOOOOONG overdue...it finally came out in this installment...sheesh

12. Dr. Moira McTaggert is NOT supposed to be SO DAMN HOT...she's supposed to be old, and genial, and wizened.

13. Leech is supposed to be GREEN, and he's supposed to look like a toad...he's a Morlock for heaven's sake...

14. Angel flies like on idiot...he's supposed to do a 'Superman'...not hold his arms behind him like a ninja from Naruto.

A few things I did like about the movie:

1. Magneto was great as usual...it's Sir Ian McKellen...you can't for ask much more from Gandalf/Teabing you know... ^_^

2. Totally LOVED Jean's telekinesis at the molecular level...that's how everything seem to just disintegrate when she used her powers. ^_^ Too chio!

3. The special effects were excellent...loved the part when Jean takes down the reinforced metal door in the mansion, and when she dismantled the gun and threatened Magneto with 'The Cure'.

==================================================================================
Sadly, I can't think of anything more to say about X-Men: The Last Stand. It's entertaining in general, and I was so excited going into the cinema...sadly, the storyline was too mangled for my tastes...and having to depend on special effects alone just doesn't cut it for me...

I wonder if the upcoming Superman will be a letdown...I certainly hope not. Well, thanks to the guys (Amos, James, Aiman, Vincent, Matt) for the excellent company. Meet up soon! :)

Still missing/going to be missing those friends who are overseas...thinking/will be thinking about you all the time...sianz...

PS: Yes yes...if I had to choose between James Marsden and Hugh Jackman...of course choose Hugh lah...no fight man...heh
