Watch
this movie, Bub
by Afro Thunder
Wolverine has six good reasons
for you to watch his latest movie. Count 'em. Six.
X-Men III: The Last Stand. Well,
I must say, this has got to be one of the better movies of the year.
Unfortunately, with the crap that’s coming out right now,
that’s not saying much. But honestly, this movie was excellent.
I mean it was good, I mean real good. Good like two shoes. Yeah.
Two shoes. Anyways, from the get go, the movie was awesome. Starting
out with fireballs and lazer blasts and flying Storm, and Wolverine
being tossed by Collossus, and just seeing Collosus go into his
metal form was just an awesome way to start the movie. Although,
at first, I thought it was kind of cheesy, sort of doomsday 1960’s
sort of thing, not good, but, luckily, it was just a simulation
of the Danger Room. Great intro. And, I must honestly say, most
of the movie was good. There weren’t any scenes that I objected
to, I just felt that some people didn’t get enough camera
time, like Warren Warthington III (Archangel) or even Collossus,
who had a nice role in the team, but never actually made many appearances.
I don’t know, maybe the guy can’t act, but at least
we got to see more of him. Also, what happened to Nightcrawler?
And why wasn’t leech green? Oh well, I suppose it wasn’t
that important. I must say though, I was a little scared as to what
the Juggernaut might look like, not so much his face, but more of
the gigantic body. And honestly, I wish he looked like that, but,
I also liked the way he looked this time around. They did a nice
job with the fake muscles and huge helmet. And getting to see the
Juggernaut fight was just amazing. I’m quite happy they threw
in the “I’m the Juggernaut, b**ch!” line, because
everytime I heard it at lunch, I just wanted to slap someone in
the face and say, “The Juggernaut’s badass you little
turd, show some respect!” But now, the Juggernaut really did
say it. YEAH!
Jean being Phoenix was nice set of pace, although, she only seemed
to destroy little areas, like her old home, and a medical facility.
I wanted to see her level a city and than everyone would be like,
“AAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!! There’s a crazy red head leveling
entire towns, time to act quick!” But nope, everyone was like,
“Let’s stop Magneto from whatever he’s doing,
even if we don’t know what it is.” What was Magneto’s
plan anyways? To capture the kid? Than what? Huh? I don’t
know, maybe I missed that part when I went to go pee, but I’m
pretty sure that was a plot hole that was overlooked. But, I’m
not complaining, because when I was actually watching the movie,
I was so into it, that I ignored any plot related issues. I suppose
my favorite scene though, was watching Wolverine fight the Juggernaut,
or Iceman versus Pyro, those were some pretty kickass kind of scenes.
But, most of all, I enjoyed watching the Beast fight, because he
just pummeled anybody in his way.
All the villains were good, except for multiple man. He didn’t
really do much except divert some attention. They could’ve
used him during the fight against the humans. Instead of sending
mutants in as “pawns”, Magneto should’ve just
sent a bunch of multiples. Oh well, in the end, it really didn’t
matter. Speaking of the end, if you haven’t seen the movie,
than stick around for after the credits, because there’s some
extra stuff you might not want to miss. Also, if you haven’t
seen it yet, don’t read the next sentence, it’s not
an outright spoiler, but it’s easy to figure out for intelligent
people. (And for you people that did see it, Xavier has the abiltity
to implant his thoughts and memories into someone else.) Okay, let’s
proceed. Honestly, I can’t think of much else to say except
that the movie was awesome, the villains were fantastic, and the
plot was well...holy I suppose. All in all, I give it 5 *SHNKT*’s
out of 5.
