[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Oh my stars and garters! Where should I begin? Pyro was good (looked like Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka's baby brother), Iceman looked a bit dorky but respect goes to his powers! Cute cameos with little Siryn and Kitty Pryde. Colossus owned, no russian accent but heavy nonetheless. The FX-team all worked wonders on Pyro, Iceman, Magneto and Nightcrawler. Nightcrawler was played well, he took the brunt of the "Comedy Sidekick"-part but I think his character survived it. He's a charmer, that Alan Cumming is. Fun Coincedence: Loved Kelly Hu as (Lady) Deathstrike. Then I came home, switched on the TV and "Martial Law" was running. Well if it isn't the same cute chinese girl doing high kicks and talking sass. She really could've done with more lines here, Darth Maul had [i]more[/i] lines, at that. In all other regards she's the classic "OddJob"-lackey. Silent, unquestioning tool of destruction, sent out to do its master's bidding. And prettier than Lucy Liu, to boot! For all of you who have feared Logan to've been domesticated or MacGyvered, prepare to be surprised. My popcorn-hand stopped dead at times, Ich schei�e you nicht. As for acting, even the most nonchalant viewer can see that Stewart and McKellen is in another league entirely. Such grace, such elegance, esp McKellen. Respect! *does that thing with the fingers* Biggest disappointment: Scott "Cyclops" Summers. His powers looked better than last time but the Drake family cat had better acting. I even laughed uncomfortably at one point, but I won't tell you which. I know $$$-signs won't be heeded by anyone but the strongest of wills and some spoilers just aren't meant to be released. If I have any gripes (apart from Cyclops' not being replaced by clay brick) it would be with certain decisions to change facts and plot threads inherent in the Marvel world, but the more I think about it the more I understand how they had to make these concessions and modify certain things in order for it to flow smoother. For instance, Lady Deathstrike never was part of the Weapon X-program, she has her own agenda. But she fits in very well here, so I'll let it go, even though they gave her adamantium and healing factor suddenly. Rogue is more powerful than in these movies, but if we go by the logic that she's young and hasn't assimilated that many powers yet, it fits. Could be spunkier, tho. AND WHERE IS MY DANGER ROOM??? Ah well, maybe in X3... This is a "to be seen in cinemas"-movie definitely, that goes out to all of you downloading, Div-X burning spoilsports. I'll say it again, "Oh my stars and garters!". ; ; [/QB][/QUOTE]
