It'll Never Fly

Clever… not good, but clever.

X-Men: The Last Stand

Meh. Some neat scenes, but otherwise pretty ho-hum. One of my favourite viral videos has now been sullied; I get chills just watching it now. Was it really necessary to put Rogue in this movie? What exactly did she do? Did I blink and miss it? The whole movie just seemed way too contrived.

Granted, X-Men has never been my favourite Marvel comic. I barely know anything about them at all. Just what I get from the occasional crossover with Spider-man or DC/Wildstorm. The second movie of the three is still my favourite. Stay after the credits, I guess, if you want your money’s worth. Luckily, I had free admission, so my money wasn’t wasted. However, the free admission coupon was.

    I thought the movie was all right (not great, but not as bad as I thought it would be). I believe Rogue was there to show that “The Cure” could be beneficial and useful in some cases. If there was a useless character, it was Storm. She was supposed to be leading the team but all she did was twirled around. If anyone was leading, it was Wolverine.

    Still I give the movie props for having Juggernaut, Multiple Man and Beast, even if they weren’t used much.
