X-Men: The Last Stand

Alrighty.....finally I have caught the latest x men movie.....albeit a little disappointing because going in the movie I knew there was a change in the director....Bryan Singer went to direct Superman Returns because it was rumoured that Halle Berry wanted a meatier role but Singer didn't want to condone the superstar's request. And I knew once again it is going to be a Wolverine-Storm movie..... Not that I am complaining, it is an entertaining movie nonetheless but X men is supposed to be an ensemble type of movie. And by killing off people in a retarded manner is not justified...I mean Cyclops is a prime example.....Cyclops is like my childhood hero man......not Batman and not Superman but Cyclops.....
I grew up watching x men and you know having the hero you look up to die in a retarded and not a heroic fashion just pisses me off.....bah

To set the record straight.....Cyclops is the leader of the X men...not Hugh Jackman....not Halle Berry.......it is bad enough that Cyclops was being under developed in the first 2 movies but for him to just die in the first 15 minutes when they had the perfect chance to develop him especially when Jean Grey is turning into Phoenix. What a movie it could have been........Cyclops would have been the one in the last scene killing Phoenix if the movie is not a Hollywood setting.........

And again to set the record straight, the movie had totally downplayed the love Jean Grey and Cyclops have for each other.......omg......what a movie it could have been.......From what I gathered in the cartoons at least, Wolverine is always the third party between Cyclops and Jean Grey. I seriously feel that Wolverine is just being over and over and over for the past movies and it is hindering a lot of characters development....and plus the Halle Berry incident....gosh...totally ruined the whole movie for me...... Big ass disappointment.....

Huge ass disappointment
