The Best of the X!

Move over E. Hunt and R. Langdon, I command you to make way for my six new found friends I met recently at The Cathay Cineplex. And hey, do I need an intro for them? I don't think so. A word is enough. They are X-Men. Hehehehe.

I know, I know, it's been 2 days and I'm still up with my craze about this X-Men: The Last Stand. I just could not help it. I was very fascinated with the film overall. The story I thought were great. Fight scenes are fantastic. Everything else is superb. And get this - even on the same night I watched it, with my evening prayer, I even thanked God for all these sci and tex that make X-Men movie such a wonderful movie. Hehehe.

Oh, how I wish I was a mutant. I feel like I'm an Ice Man reborn, who has proven the underdog wasn't me; or an Angel, who flies across the clear blue sky; or Leech, a small kid who makes big wonders; or Wolverine, furious, metal, yet implicitly affectionate; or Kitty Pride, who outsmarts big and powerful men and yet are dumb. Hehehe.

There was some funny moments though on the cinema. As the billboard opens, there were others who were so excited that they applauded while other joined with hesitation. And suddenlty, a man got irritated to shout "ah, shut up". Hehehehe.

And oh, after the film, don't leave the room yet! Right after the ending billboard comes a short scene of Professor X in the body of the veggie man he showed in his video at the beginning of the film while teaching his class. It was really short though. I could not say it's a teaser for the next movie since it's the "last stand".

I landed on these few observations and comments:

• Can anyone help me identify Psylocke in the film? Far as I know, I have never seen her fight there. Or maybe she was one of those students at Prof X's class, with Jubilee.
• Even though they always say that Phoenix killed Cyclops, I was still hoping I could see him alive especially on the war scene because anyway, nobody knows how he realy died. But I was wrong. He's really dead. And that's so sad. I wonder how much he got for the film. hehehe.
• I heard few people commenting about the big difference of the film to the comic story. As for me, the hell I care about it. The movie is still so good that I can skip watching films in the next few months (except for Superman Returns hehehe).
  
• I kind of like the the fight scenes of Storm and Callisto. Electrifying. And Halle Berry is still as sexy!
• The real Mystique kind of gained weight, contrary to how sexy she was on the karaoke video. =)
  
• They always consider God as the their last resort. (Remember what the president said when he feels she lost everything). It's not a good idea. I hope it happens only in the film.
  
• I think those who did not like the film because of its being different from the comics falls under any of these classifications: a perfect epitomy of a man without satisfaction, a naturally-born nitpicker, or someone who needs utmost attention. Sorry. It bites. Ouch.

Well, again, thank you Lord for bringing this X-Men alive.
