text: have you seen x-men iii yet?? what'd you think of it? i didn't like it as much as i thought i would.  they did some things i didn't agree with at all.  i was mad about xavier dying, no matter what the clip at the end of the credits showed.  i was mad as scott dying.  i could see him being a tragic figure for a long time, but i think he would have pulled out of it if given a chance.  i think they over-did pretty much all of the fight scenes to make up for a weak plot, and the emotional scenes, with the exception of the one where rogue leaves and the part right after xavier died, fell pretty flat.  i greatly dislike that rogue actually took the cure, no matter that the end shows evidence that it's not as permanent as the humans thought.  i thought that she'd turn up during the last fight scene and drain magneto or phoenix.  i dislike that she came back to bobby, too.  let kitty have him.  and i thought the ending with all of its sunshine and happiness was a little too trite.  i also do not like storm as the leader of the x-men.  okay, now for what i did like.  i liked the rogue and wolverine scene where she leaves, obviously, because that rang true for me.  i actually liked their explanation of how jean survived and how phoenix came into being.  that part was better than the comics or the cartoons, in my opinion.  i liked that they gave the background of jean in film rather than dialogue alone.  i liked most of the fight scenes as being well done by the actors, and i liked that wolverine killed jean because i'm a sadistic person who never liked jean in the first place and thought she was playing wolverine a bit too much in the last too movies.  i'm protective of wolverine.  i also liked beast, pretty much through the whole movie.  loved him.  laughed especially hard at "oh, h@*&, you get the point!"  mostly, though, *wailing* i want rogue back as rogue!  sorry.  at least she would get the chance to feel love through a touch a little before her powers came back, though.
