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. This currently leaves me with about 6 hours of sleep, but the movie is fresh in my mind, so review. Complete side note: they promoted me to

Yeah, the plot change for Jean Grey/Phoenix was a bit of a put off, but I realize that "split personality" is easier to explain to the general public than "possesed by an alien being, killed, later ressurected after alien being is killed, wait, no, REAL Jean in a stasis pod at the bottom of the ocean..." and so forth. Split personality is kinf of a crappy explanaition, but it's also way shorter. I don't know why they even bothered trying to do Phoenix, let alone Dark Poenix. It needs a TV show season, not a 2 hour movie.

I don't know why Wolverine didn't just jab her with the cure. I guess Jean could have disintigrated it before contact, or something. Really the very end is what makes no sense. Everyone's all happy with the mutants? After one of them single-handedly took out an entire platoon of soldiers with her brain? No...I think America, and the world, would not be okay with mutants after that.

The more I think about it, the more I wish they'd chosen the Sentinel plot line for the last movie. It could still be a last stand, and there is WAY less explaining to do. Ev0l scientist makes killer robots to wipe out mutants. Government is complicit til they realize the scope. No split personalities or anything. Way simpler. They could still have worked in the cure. Everyone would have won *g*
