I'm glad y...Thanks for the thoughtful comment!<br /><br />I'm glad your opinion resides closely with mine, in terms of X2 being the best of the series. And I respect anyone who is willing to announce their opinion no matter how far from the consensus is strays. I applaud your appreciation for The Last Stand. <br /><br />And your point about Storm is well-taken. Her character was one of the more appealing aspects of Ratner's direction. <br /><br />I hope for a sequel too since First Class is only merely a prequel.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-90489213288187856892011-05-05T11:27:28.712-04:002011-05-05T11:27:28.712-04:00What a great read!

This film was really an improvement over the first one and there was some character development as well. <br /><br />I for one, loved The Last Stand (I know i´m probably on the minority side) even though it does not compare with the first two. However, what I loved in The Last Stand was that Storm finally reminded me of the character I knew from the comic-books which I think Singer failed to accomplish before. <br /><br />I hope someday we get another sequel instead of Hollywood rebooting it once more like they are doing with Spider-man.Tanausú Vilcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042529524253602442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-52829558728776560132011-05-02T15:47:32.913-04:002011-05-02T15:47:32.913-04:00Haha, you are right my friend.

There was no real emotional investment. X2>X1>X3...we shall see where First Class ranks. <br /><br />As for the Ratner bashing, I think he is a bit of a narcissistic prick. But I won't discredit him completely. He has shown some promise as a director. I really enjoyed the first Rush Hour and I liked The Family Man. And Money Talks was another fun time with Chris Tucker. But a lot of his other work has been really meh.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-55888502507202963502011-05-02T00:51:33.726-04:002011-05-02T00:51:33.726-04:00Matthew - and we thought Q was a bit of a challeng...Matthew - and we thought Q was a bit of a challenge - but once again, you have proven yourself up to the task - a very fine film. Without a doubt it whips the first one because we have fewer origin touchstones to carry, plus this is a perfect example of fixing mistakes in the second movie. And I'll go on record saying The Last Stand is a fine X-Men movie - not really understanding the Ratner Bashing he faces EVERYWHERE - he may well be the most arrogant, self-centered ahole to ever take a breath - but he's made some kickass movies, and I think X3 is one of them. X2 is better, but only a little bit! ;) Cheers!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-4462138359081251162011-04-29T18:56:56.631-04:002011-04-29T18:56:56.631-04:00It's all good.

Ooooh, Halle Berry was in her sexy glory during the early 2000's and she's still a complete fox!<br /><br />@ Nebular<br /><br />Thanks buddy! I totally agree. Thrilling, emotional, action-packed, intense, exaggerated—all the comic book buzz words are apt descriptors for this movie. <br /><br />@ T.D.<br /><br />Really? For the sake of avoiding any contentious argument, I'll just say I completely disagree. Deathstrike died and Jean Grey sacrificed herself (becoming Phoenix in The Last Stand), so I'm not sure who you're referring to as "all the notable characters." Besides, it's a comic book movie. Inevitably, some characters are going to meet their demise. <br /><br />I think you're confusing my review with X-Men The Last stand.<br /><br />But thanks for the gesture. Have a good one yourself!FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-44427564396852811042011-04-29T13:28:02.562-04:002011-04-29T13:28:02.562-04:00I hated Xmen 2!

It raises the stakes from the first, and dwarfs the execution, in every respect, of The Last Stand (not that our expectations were too high with Ratner directing). <br /><br />Hopefully, Vaughn's installment rekindles the atmospheric and emotional gravity of X2.

Not just a balance of heroes and their motives, but of light and dark. Things did not end so well. Yes, they won, but there was sacrifice. To me there cannot be great heroic epics without great sacrifice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018122949256325759.post-44311446288022264522011-04-28T17:25:06.493-04:002011-04-28T17:25:06.493-04:00Aha, touche.
