Message: <blockquote data-quote="DonAdam" data-source="post: 876293" data-attributes="member: 2446">I will concede one thing:I had forgotten that Jean had screwed up the electronics at the beginning, so it makes sense that she left the plane if that was the reason. That would even explain the missile scene, as she was not surrounded by lots of people with telepathic overload then.As far as disjointed, I wasn't speaking about the overall plot. Maybe I'm used to the comics, but a string of tangentially related elements works fine for me as the plot, especially as the middle part of a trilogy. I was talking about the characters' personalities and the way they used their powers.I can almost see the point about Nightcrawler not wanting to teleport into the base, but when he was scared to go into the cerebro room it was ridiculous. Half the people there could have told him what it looked like. It was clearly nothing more than a setup for the silly Storm line, which was a total and unexplained switch from what the characters had said earlier.In fact, I will conced all points about Nightcrawler EXCEPT the door scene. It was just beyond stupid.I don't have a problem with Magneto showing personality, just with him showing the personality of a 13 year old girl.  As I said, his interaction with Pyro was brilliant. Also, how did he know that the Ellis Island incident caused her hair to change? He was unconscious.As far as Magneto entering the base, I realize that he doesn't do electromagnetic fields like in the comics, but if he can escape from a super bad cell the way he did the thugs in there would have stood no chance.The water question is irrelevant: huge portions of that base were made out of metal.Given those observations, I'll raise my review to a 2.5 or 3/5, with the worst things either making sense now (Jean) or being too short to really matter (Magneto acting like an anime schoolgirl [without the unfunny sex humor]).</blockquote>
