When you call your movie "The Last Stand" you don't leave a lot of wiggle room for sequels

Writing this review now is foolish, since I have to be in Richmond tomorrow at 9am, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to meet with the Manager of Wireless sales in Western Canada and all the managers from my area.

The more I read the spoilers, the more I don't feel like I want to watch this movie. The only thing going for it right now is, in fact, the absence of Gambit. Why? Because from the way it sounds like they've cocked it all up with the other characters I think I'd have to send death threats if they'd done the same to Remy. Can you tell he's my favourite character? Like, EVER?

Jean Grey dies? Again? *yawn* No. Didn't see that one coming./end sarcasm

If I could write the oft-touted Wolverine script, I'd have wanted to bring back Cyclops and toss Emma Frost into the mix too. But that would only really work well if they'd gone with your suggestion and had Scott kill Jean. Plenty of angst and anger and recriminations and inappropriate feelings in that triangle... Hmmm. Okay, maybe not summer blockbuster material but I'd have liked it.

Also? Gambit MUST be in the Wolvie film. Gotta be. I like Hugh Jackman but he wasn't enough to make me go see Van Helsing. I want to see characters that I care about. And a hint of flirtatious subtext wouldn't go amiss.

You're totally right. Gambit needs to be in a Wolverine sequel. I'm glad Jean is dead, because she's always been the most boring character for me. MarySue :P

Cyclops does need to be back. His death in the movie sucked ass. It was so random and pointless.
