Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I just got back from that movie with my girlfriend. I must say I enjoyed it, at first I was afraid it wouldn't be any good as I read so many reviews that it sucked. But after watching this movie, it's become way to apparent that those reviewers knew nothing of the comics.

Just taking several threads in Gaia for example, oh and if you haven't seen this movie don't read anymore, there will be spoilers.

*Spoilers*

Many were upset that they killed off profersor xavier. However, if you stay until the end of the credits there is a key scene that shows good old profersor X in a hospital bed, speaking to his irish friend who was suprised to see him.

How is this so? Well, remember earlier in the movie when he was talking about it being ethical to transfer one persons concious into a person who was a vegetable?

Well, thats exactly what he did to save his own life.

More complaints was scott and jean died. Well this happened several times in the comics. Actually, phoenix killed scott in the comics. Where as jean dies all the time.

Moving on, some complained that wolverine cried. Well, he did it in the comics, and just consider what this movie presented to us for just a moment. He had to kill the woman he loved. HAD TO, would you not cry in that case?! I honestly don't see the big deal about it, he just fell down and cried a little but still kept the macho vibe about it with trying to hide it and all.

Now many were upset that magneto lost his powers. Well, if you watched the ending you would see him move a chess piece. How is that so? Well, leeches power and cure was only temporary, everyone that recieved it will revert back to normal eventually.

Oh and lets not forget juggernaut. I'll admit, I was a little peeved at how he was effected by leech. But they never really stated leeches power was limited to mutants only. Even if they did, explaing juggernauts whole background would of been to lengthy to put in the movie.

*Spoilers*

All in all I liked this movie, it just irks me that everyone thinks you can only be a critic if you downtalk everything. It's like everyone mindset now is that, if I am the first to say something sucks everyone will think I'm cool!

Pfft.

Anyways bedtime for me. I work tommorow, and am going to a fair on sunday. With kings, wenches and knights!
