- Digital make-up is just creepy. Creepy when they used it to make Tobey Maguire look lethargic in Spider-Man, still creepy now when they de-aged Prof. X and Magneto.
- Now everyone's going to equate floating objects and gravity-defying water as residual TK energy...
- So much death, so little blood. Seems adamantium claws are hemoglobin resistant, and molecular disintegration is a more hygienic way to snuff someone. "It's for the kids..."
- Interesting to note that while we're supposed to see mutant henchmen, all I see are minorities playing the cannon fodder. Just goes to show that even as mutants, Latino and Asian characters can't catch a break in Hollywood.
- I think they had Prof. X act like a dick so when Jean Grey killed him you wouldn't feel too bad about it. Not that it was a problem in the end (credits)...
- Well, Angel's role was a waste of time. And to think he got so much face time in the marketing of this film. Kitty Pryde gets a nod for swearing in the film, unlike Logan (a first, I think). Storm loses the South African accent and just went for the Halle "all lightning and fog but for some reason no hailstorm to f**k things up" Berry accent.
- Maybe it's just me, but any school with it's own cemetary for anything other than pets or strays is just f**ked up. When my friend mentioned that the school was acutally a private residence, well, that's just even more f**ked up! "Hey, what happened to Bobby?" "Oh, he's in the backyard..."
- Cliches and more cliches! I'm not sure what I hate more, dumb dialogue used to fill up a scence or cliches that think they're clever when spoken out loud.
- Homages (or swipes) up the wazzoo, indicating either director Brett Ratner's love of cinema or lack of originality. The Matrix, Star Trek III, The Exorcist, Lawnmower Man, Gone with the Wind(!), and even Osama bin Laden videos.
- It wasn't that bad. Sure, the movie had some bumps, but no more than the last one, as in the let's get Professor X and Cyclops outta the way YET AGAIN routine.
Ooh, and remind me to make a "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" T-shirt.
