Thought of something else on the car ride home. Is it just me or did Storm have a southern accent, especially when she got annoyed? I'm really used to that calm, otherworldly sort of voice that she's had in the previous films, so I really noticed that something was off in her voice.

It was ok, but...the directing kind of let it down I think. :/

(Oh Warren. *hearts*)

Storm's accent failed me in the second movie. I continued to ignore it most of this one. >.>

The Stepfords were in there? I missed that. Which scene was it?

They were only in the background. Three indentical blonde girls walking in perfect unison up the hallway with books in their hands. Logan and Storm were talking about something and walking down the hallway as well.

Did you stay right to the very end? Hee!

But yes. Movie was waaay too short. Not very much emotional attachment to any of the characters.

I was attached to Hank. And Angel. But with Hank I am biased beyond belief, and Angel just made me wibble. Both of them needed more screen time.

Hee. Hank roared. KING OF THE JUNGLE!!!

Thought you might find this interesting...

Josh Holloway was offered the role of Gambit, but turned it down because the character was too similar to his character on "Lost". As a result, the character was never added to the film since this would have been a special cameo put in later had Josh decided to sign on.

I'm glad he wasn't there because a) If Gambit were to be in it, he better damn well have a speaking contributing role, and not just a flyaway screen appearance, and b) He would've been kinda superfluous in this movie, and not particularly...

Yeah. Basically it all comes down to a). I will settle for nothing less.

That's good to know. Then it doesn't cheese me off (as much) that he wasn't in the movie.

Juggernaut!!! SO AWESOME!!!

Very kewl mutant battles.

And I have no faith whatsoever that the 'cure' will endure. Rogue will get her powers back...but I'm glad she gets some touchy time in the interrum. She is a bit weak but I like her character as a whole I think.

Yeah I agree...I wouldn't have minded if it was a nice 3 hours long or something. There was so much that they could have/should have expanded. Scott!! Where did you go?? *has images of him stumbling around the lake with his eyes shut going 'jeeeeaaaaan???'*
