cornerofmadnessWell tomorrow I head back to OH. Yesterday we went to the lake for the holiday. Seriously, some people are beach people, I'm a lake person. Didn't matter that the water was only 60 odd degrees, I was in it. It was a good time for all my aunt's non-stop complaining.
went to see the X-Men movie tonight with my parents. Spoilers under the cut.
Okay, yeah it wasn't as good as the first two but I still enjoyed this and so did the Rents. Did I wish there were more characer development? Yes, especially of Warren. He was lovely to look at but rather wasted. This was a short movie. there would have been time.
Did I wish they hadn't wasted Rogue? Yes. SHe was nearly totally pointless in this movie and that was a shame
Did they surprise me? Oh yes. There were twists I wasn't expecting.
But it was fantastically imagined with the FX and it was enjoyable enough. I was leery of Kelsey Grammar's inclusion as Beast but I liked him. You could see he was having fun. I wish the director would have had Berry back of the Bitch Button since Storm was unbearable but since I don't think much of her as an actress maybe he did the best he could with what he had to work with. Phoenix's outfits made her look like she robbed a goth mutant's closet. They didn't suit her.
Oh and the trailer they showed for Ghostrider looked cool and I don't even like Nicholas Cage

Date: 2006-05-31 03:41 pm (UTC)So was it worth watching in the theatre then? I'm such a huge fan, but the reviews I have seen aren't that good.
One a side note. Reborn Desires is back up at it's original location, but I've made a board for it now, so author's can post their fics on their own. I created a sub-board for you, I'd love for you to join and add your newest stuff!

I do hope to see you there!
