Just Saw X3

Just saw Wolverine and His Bitches X-Men 3: The Last Stand with Bro. I didn't like it. Even Daredevil was better.

I'm sure everyone has seen it and knows wht's with the story. So I'm going to just do a pros and cons thingy:

Pros
- Wolverine's battles. At least this time he didn't get his ass kicked around too much. The jungle battle was pretty cool.

- The opening scene with a younger Xavier and Erik. I enjoyed watching their relationship. It was funny in a putting a smile on my face way.

- More mutant cameos.

- Henry McCoy, The Beast. Kelsey Grammer did a good job.

- Collosus and Wolverine's Fast Ball Special. Nuff said.

Ok now the cons:
- Special effects. It was used too sparringly and it felt very "been there, done that". It felt like Collosus didn't appear that much course it would be expensive to do his armour form. And oh same goes for Iceman's ice form. Jean Grey's Phoenix without any firey essence? WTF?! Turning the whole place into pixels wasn't impressive in this day and age of movie effects technology.

- Character development. Almost none.

- Halle Berry. She's definitely no Storm. But it was fun watching her getting her ass kicked. Funny how Storm took over the school but everyone's taking orders from Wolverine hahaaah!!

- Killing of major characters. Yeah, alot of characters died in the X-Universe and came back, since we are going for a more realistic approach with the movie which was established by Bryan Singer in the first two; we don't have to kill em off just because they were more involved with other movies. Yeah, I'm talking about James Marsden.

- The mutants that were introduced in the movie. Yeah, it was fun to spot them "ohh, that was the triplets whatstheirname" but introducing major characters with very minor roles just turns me off.

- Juggernaut as a mutant? To quote Juggy himself "Don't you know who I Am??!..."

- Brett Ratner. Please stay away from comic movies.

Overall the movie gave me a "movie indigestion".
