Then again, I haven't seen those movies in a little over two years, but I still had no problem with her decision.I'm just cutting n' pasting what I've posted elsewhere, forgive me if this is just a little 'stream of thought'-ish, I wrote it late last night after getting back from the movie.Overall... I enjoyed the movie.Felt kinda rushed in parts and some of the dialogue was clunky, but I like that the movie went all out and killed off some characters. I guessed that Cyclops would be one to bite it, didn't see Xavier or Jean getting killed (in Jean's case, again). Some characters needed more screen time and some of the plot could've been expanded upon. As it is, the plot made logical sense to me, but it felt unnecessarily vague at points.Why did Pheonix join up with Magneto?Probably for 2 reasons: 1) She saw the 'cure' as being a way to 'cage' her again or 2) Magneto was there, offering her freedom from Xavier and she took it.This plot could've been cleaned up a bit. It's a bit too haphazardly constructed and it could've been left out of the movie without really hurting anything.I was surprised that Rogue actually took the cure, though it really made sense for her character as established in the movies so far.I thought Mystique getting cured and Magneto's subsequent reaction was brilliant. Though it may not mesh with how the character is portrayed in the comics (I'm not sure, I don't read them), I thought it was a nice way to show how Magneto has truly become what he's hated most of all... a racist. And he doesn't even realize it.Angel needed more to do. Though with the way his character has been established so far, I wonder if any subsequent movies will kick out the whole 'Archangel' idea. Probably. I don't see a movie about Apocalypse being as interesting or relevent as the previous films.Halle Berry just... isn't that good. She has very little screen presence, though thankfully, her wig is better this time and she actually gets to do stuff.Colossus was underutilized.As usual, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellan, and Patrick Stewart carried the movie... acting-wise. Famke Janesson, Kelsey Grammer, and James Marsden were really good too.</blockquote>
