X-Men 3: The Last Stand
May. 28th, 2006 06:45 pmOmaha and I managed to swing someone to watch the kids, so we went to watch X-Men III: The Last Stand.
On the whole, it's a popcorn comic-book movie. They got many things right, and several things agressively wrong. The second movie discussed Kurt's Catholicism, so why in this film did the director or costumer refuse to give Kitty the Star of David she always wore? Where was Peter's Russian accent? Where was Rogue's Louisiana drawl?
It was badly edited and poorly written, and it could have been so much better. They got Kitty so right, and Colossus so cardboard. The ending makes sense, but not in the context of the comic book. It's much of a wash. If you're a serious X-Man fan from the 80s, you'll probably have the same love-hate reaction to it I did. Great actors doing great jobs with great characters in a setting and story that nobody could love.
And Hugh Jackman is still hot. Whoof!
