I just saw it and I must say I am impressed. Kelsey Grammer owned all as beast, he had some of the best lines. "Aw, You'll get the point!" And I dunno WHAT this new director went and said to halle Berry but DAMN she made a total turnaround in this film. For the past two films she's been pathetic. In this film she was absoloutely badarse. (SPOILER) I was laughing my ass off when she threw that one mutant against the fence using the hurricaine force for added oomph, after whupping her arse, and then going all emperor palpatine with the lightning bolts and frying her like a bucket of KFC. Moral of Last stand kids is DO NOT F*** WITH STORM!
By the way, can anyone tell me who was that Mutant that storm was fighting with? I thought it was Callisto, but I dont think Callisto had super speed or the power to detect other mutants.
Oh yah, and Arclite is one of the marauders, their leader actually. a mutant attack squad formed by Mr. Sinister. If one of the marauders dies, he just clones them again and makes them more powerful.
But yah, I was surprised, it was really good and a huge improvement over the first two films. Fastball special rules and wolverine was still cool but not the focus of this film. I thought this new guy totally owned Bryan Singer in every way. Maybe this new director is a mutant with the power not to overuse wolverine and not to make sucky movies.
(SPOILER)But Cyclops death still sucked though. Considering how shafted he was in the first two films, I guess you can look at this as a mercy killing. But doesn't exactly help his coolness factor that his woman kills him and goes to get it on with wolverine. It's the claws right? Chicks dig the claws.
Bring on X-4!
Excelsior!
