I really, really hated X-Men: The Last Stand.

What a pile of shit.

I like cyclops. He was always terribly underdeveloped in the films, which is a real shame. He is important in the comics, despite seemingly unanimous hatred of him by the fans.

The dialogue was terrible, and I'm sorry, Magneto would come out with that stupid quip about "Charles always said he wanted to build bridges." Nobody was around! He was floating in the air on his own, with his minions below him and behind him. I did feel cheated by Magneto's fate, and somewhat by Charles', even though I understand the purpose of the latter. The "I'm Juggernaut, Bitch" was awful, and I've seen the cartoon. Vinnie Jones was awful. The action scenes were so workmanlike yet completely uninspired, they rank as 'very bad' in my book. And no, it wasn't as bad as Elektra, Fantastic Four, or Catwoman. I think it is on par with Daredevil (filmmaking wise), and X-Men had about three times the budget. I think the Punisher is a perfectly well made film, especially on its budget, but its problems were elsewhere. But anyway, the action scenes were dull and inspired. I had a lot of hope at the beginning, during the danger room sequence, but even it was a let down (all we get is the head?). The action sequences were using spectacle as the set piece, not the background for the action. Also, why did all the pawns in the brotherhood of mutants look like New York Gang Members from a Jackie Chan movie?

Just annoying, and a total waste given that X2 had made such great forward leaps.

Okay, lets go bitch.

1)Cyclops has no redeeming or interesting characteristics. He is a giant douchebag whose eyes emit lasers...I am sorry, but Superman is better. Next, the only importance he has is to father Cable and to end the life of Dark Phoenix, once or twice.

2)I admit the dialogue was terrible. I even mentioned that, but the quip that you refer to is comic book-esque. So, you don't like that line...get over it. It is better than "holy toledo, looks like someone had fun". I don't know why they did this entire storyline regarding this cure, but you just have to accept that, it is part of the film, maybe the could have done something different, but it is unoffensive what the story was. And, my friend, "I'm the juggernaut, Bitch" was fucking awesome. Awesome. I don't even need to see the cartoon, which I have only seen a little of, to enjoy it. The action scenes I thought were brilliant. I realize we could have had more mutant action, but they were good. I liked the muted aspect to all of Dark Phoenix's battle scenes.

To refer to this movie with any similarity to Daredevil is to illustrate your own blind arrogent ignorance. God. How can you use the hands that typed this prattle for anything but cleaning out shithouses? Ugh, no Matthew, NO.

THE FACT WE GET EVEN A HEAD IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! It somewhat softens the realization of no Gambit. Oh jesus, I was so glad to get a head.

They looked like that because there were there own little omega squad. Why the fuck do X-men put of skintight black suits? Makes them look like rollerball contestants.

And the end all be all. KITTY FUCKING PRIDE MOTHER FUCKER!
