review: X-Men: The Last Stand

[Bill_Snyder]

Who would win in a fight between Cyclops, Gambit, Wolverine and Mary Magdelene?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I'm thinking Wolverine. Then Mary Magdalene.

Who would win in a battle between Jubilee, Aquaman, Dan Brown, and any of the dead Robins?

[Spriggan]

Which Aquaman?  If it's Dancing Aquaman from Adult Swim then there's no contest.

Tim Robins is my my favorite of dead Robins - his zombie alter ego, Dead Man Walking, could kill any one them.

I also have a theory that the really cool comic characters have multiple powers. Look Spiderman, Wolverine, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman for examples.

Batman? Not that I dislike Batman, as a matter fact, he is definitely one of my favorite heroes, but what multiple powers? Batman doesn't really have any powers, per se.

Batman doesn't have any inherent powers, except his fighting prowess and keen intellect. He does have access to a lot of cool gadgets with effectively give him a multitude of powers.

The fact that Batman doesn't have any superhuman powers is what makes him so great.  We can effectively see him as more human, like us, and this causes us to relate to him more.  

As Seinfeld would say, "When men grow up reading about super heros, these aren't fantasies.. they're options"  ha ha

Batman DOES have super powers. 1): He's a shapeshifter - he can look like whatever actor they cast in the part, and 2:) he has the ability to change the environment around him from dark and brooding to campy and flamboyantly gay.

LMAO!  Bwah-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa!  Your killing me

The correct answer, of course, is who cares? As long as most of them are wiped from continuity.

Particularly Dan Brown.

So, I just saw the film. It was fun.

Hint: there is another scene after the credits.

Not that anyone here would be so callace as to leave the theater before the credits finished rolling, but if you have to miss it, I wouldn't panic.

[Tage]

I left before the credits are done. Well, now I'l have to go see it again. Shucks.

Having just seen this a second time, I'm debating whether we should have knocked another half star off our rating. it's fun, I love "X-Men" movies . . . But this just isn't up there with the first two. Those make my list of best superhero films of all time. The best value of this one is nostalgia for the first two.

I'm conflicted on this. It's so much fun to see these characters again that I'm inclined to go easy on it. But it could have been so much more . . . Definitely worth seeing, though. But I'll be watching the first two on DVD next week to enjoy "X-Men" at it's best. Some films are very hard to rate, and this is a tough one for me.
