<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>that when Mystique was on the computer and there were names of all of the mutants there, Remy Lebeau was listed? I thought that was cool.

I'm wondering if they will ever put him in though, since Iceman seems to have taken his role as Rogue's b/f. Of course, they could break them two up and then work it out or something. Who knows.</div>

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>Collosus got no screen time. He was there, he powered up, and then *bam* he ended up babysitting children and leaving. It's a minor complaint for me, though. Collosus isn't even one of my favorite characters.

Nightcrawler is, though, and they got him down pat. I couldn't have been happier with that performance.

But what is this shit with the Phoenix foreshadowing? I remember in the first movie they kept playing up the fact that they were only going to put "believable mutants" in the movies (or some such nonsense), which would leave characters like The Juggernaut out in the cold. Well, what the fuck, Bryan Singer? We can't have Juggernaut but a bizarre fiery space god inhabiting Jean Gray's body is okay?

Maybe in the next movie they'll explain away the whole Phoenix phenomenon by simply saying that it's another part of Jean's powers. I kind of hope not, though. Not because I have any great love of the Phoenix character but simply because if they stay true to the storyline Mr. Singer might change his mind about allowing Mr. Juggernaut to make an appearance. Heh, I like Juggernaut. Even more now that he's currently a "good guy" living at the Mansion in the comics. Allows more good old fashioned banter between him and everybody else.

Juggernaut: Oh, I'm so sorry, Wolverine. How <b>awful</i> of me. You didn't like that wooden spike jammed through your lung?
Wolverine: Sure. <b>Loved</b> it.
Juggernaut: Then I'll be sure to put it <b>back</b> when we're all done.

In other news, some crazy/wonderful sap on my campus network has <b><i>four hundred and twenty</B></i> issues of Uncanny X-Men scanned and available to me, and I downloaded every one of them. That's 2.56 gigabytes of X-goodness. If not for the exams that are killing my free time at the moment, I would love to sit down and read them all, but I've only managed a few issues here and there, sort of out of order.

I wish I'd known this guy had those before. I got 31 issues of Ultimate X-Men from him before, but apparently that was merely scratching the surface of his Leprechaun-like treasure pot.

And yes, I'm more than aware of how insanely nerdy this makes me.

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>Blast. Um, clearly the entire bottom part of my message was so important that it had to be bold.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Singer said that? Uh, newsflash buddy, the entire premise is unbeleivable.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Yeah. A lot of people in my theater were chuckling at that one.</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yup...I saw that too. heh</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Ooh...I'd kill for access to those issues! :)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial, Tahoma, Geneva; text-align: left; '>I didn't like how normal people were the villains throughout most of the movie. Maybe if they had weapons to help stand up against mutants, like say, Sentinels, I would appreciate the action more. It just seemed like humans tryin to start fights, then getting their asses handed to them. Although, there is one fight I really liked. I don't need to say which one though, do I?

Collosus... poor guy.
Collosus: "Let me help. I'm shiny and dartproof."
Hero that matters: "Um... I don't need you, go away, unimportant person."

I obviously exagerated, =) but you understand how I feel.

About the Pheonix... they seemed to give the impression that Jean became the Pheonix at the end, without the aid of aliens. You know... you could barely see something under the water at the end =).

I don't like the "believable mutants" much, either. It wouldn't be so bad if they improved how the characters use their super hero names. Such as the first movie when Rogue introduces herself to Wolverine. Or in this movie when Iceman does it is pretty bad. "I'm Bobby Drake, but my friends call me Iceman." They don't call you Iceman... no one does in the movie. They all know your real name! X(
However, I thought it was pretty funny whenever Nightcrawler tried to introduce himself to someone new.

Whatever. Still was a fun movie to see =D.</div>
