[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 874865, member: 3570"] Highly entertaining film, but I'm a little ambivalent right now because they blew what should have been the most powerful moment of the film; Jean Grey's death. First it was a mistake the way they had Cyclops react to her speaking through Professor X. He should have just listened to the Professor while watching her mouth the words outside, his hand pressed against the glass of the jet cockpit, almost trying to will her back into the plane. But having him get all cuddly with Patrick Stewart caused giggles and even some bursts of laughter. [b]Not[/b] the reaction the scene was going for. Then when she died Cyclops was way too mellow. They should have cranked up the music while he screamed and everyone held him down, with Logan off on his one, utterly stunned. At the very least we should have seen a [i]little[/i] more than the pat "She's gone", and then nothing, no heartwrenching music, nothing. That should have been X2's "death of Spock" or "death of Lois Lane" scene, without a dry eye in the house. But it just didn't have the punch it needed. Everything else pretty much kicked ass. Side note: [b]Millions[/b] of people would have been killed by the little Professor X/Jason Stryker stunt. Everyone in the world clutches their head and screams for two minutes straight? Yeah everyone on every freeway in every country with cars going more than 50 mph DEAD. Ditto for any commercial jets that would have been landing. The last scene in the Oval Office was also a tad dorky, but damn, Nightcrawler, Collosus, Logan, Lady D, Mystique, just a ton of coolness. EDIT: Oh and the Drakes coming home to find Logan standing in their kitchen holding a beer....classic! [/QUOTE]
