DISQUS

Don't be sad - much like a soap opera, I don't think anyone in that movie is really dead. They'll be back in some form or another.

And what?! Because ONE guy didn't take a role, they completely eliminated Gambit from the whole thing?! Pretty much everyone I talk to about that movie is crying because they wanted to see Gambit kick some ass.

My favorite part of the movie? The mutant that looks like Prince. Hahahahaha!

Ben Foster, the guy who played Angel, was actually auditioning for Gambit before they scratched the character for Angel

I didn't mind The Last Stand and i'm familiar with the comics too and did miss not having Gambit yet again, but I've been generally impressed so far at how they have been able to bring the 2d characters to life. However, yes this was the weakest of the trilogy yet. Unfortunately I ended up missing the specail end part after the credits--I just found out about it now :(

Gambit, gambit, gambit, are you really mad they didn't cram another white guy onto the screen? How about Bishop? Or is one black mutant enough? "Black and a mutant, wow that's just too much diversity there" - Hollywood. This movie was stupid, I was very much dissappointed, way too much time spent on the Phoenix, how can one of the baddest mutants (Mystique) just up and loose her powers (that was gay). Didn't stay for any special scene after the credits, oh well. I was just kinda corny, I understand killing of people that you wouldn't normally expect to die, but the professor, that's just silly. Also Jackman is a really annoying Wolverine, I wish that Charles Bronson had been born in a different era so that he could have played Wolverine. He would be a good cast, short, salty, old, crotchety, canadian, half man half animal. Jackman acts too suave and not grizzly enough, plus he's like 6'2" and that right there doesn't make any damn sense. For true X fans what are people always calling Wolverine in the comics? Runt. I'll give this movie a D, and for the comment about the mutant chick who looked like prince I too was shocked to see ALMOST another black person in this movie, but sadly, no.

Why would they do that, though? The Angel character seemed so weak to me...I mean I understand the whole secondary (or tertiary?) storyline of his relationship with his father and all the misunderstanding there, but all he does is spread his wings out, fly out a window, and then mysteriously show up again at the end to save his dad!!!! Some people are talking about how badass Angel is, but I would have preferred to seen Gambit since he's always the one I hear about...although maybe not if they would have given Gambit the same treatment they gave Angel.

Ahhhh!!! There's too many characters to develop and not enough screentime!

Well I think there were three reasons for Angel instead of Gambit. First, 100 minutes is not enough time to develop a character fan fav like Gambit. Second, Singer eluded to the original x-men being in the same movie (Jean Grey, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel). Also, I don't think Hugh Jackman or the new diva Halle Berry wanted to lose any more screen time. Jackman probably wants to keep momentum into his Wolvie films.
