I am floating through a head cold fog today. Have been since Friday or Saturday. But today it seems quite noticeable. I went to the movies and saw X-Men:Last Stand anyway! And it was the high point of my day. Gotta love Wolverine! Ha ha ha! Actually, I realize a lot of people have issues with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine but I am not one of them. I try to keep the movies separate from the comics in my head. I'm happy when they include alot of stuff from the comics into the movie but I don't expect it. So I am never too disappointed with movies because I go in thinking, they are gonna screw the x-men up. It is not even going to be remotely like the comics. That way when it is, I am pleased. See how this works? So, yes, I enjoyed X-Men 3. I especially liked the beginning with Prof. X and Magneto going to get Jean Gray as a child, and Warren (Angel) trying to cut his wings off as a child. That was cool back story stuff they didn't have to put in but added depth to those characters. I loved that Storm was able to fly and throw lightning bolts like she does in the comics. Disappointed with Rogue, she has turned into a wuss when she actually has a mean streak. Phoenix, hmmm, kind of disappointed but then again not. She looked awesome but it seemed like for the end of the movie she just stood around and looked impressive. Phoenix wouldn't have stood around waiting for Magneto to tell her what to do unless she had a good reason to. And I don't think that was a good enough reason. I don't want to ruin the end for people who haven't seen it yet so I'll stop there. Well, 2 more things from the end. Wolverine's healing abilities-those of you who have seen it know what I am talking about. And stay until after the credits people! Those of you who haven't seen it yet, there is a scene after the credits! Okay, that's all. I was in my head cold fog so I actually want to go see this again after I am well. See if my opinion of it changes at all!

Thanks Punk! I haven't seen X-Men yet! Actually, I only read your first few lines about the movie, so I'll come back and finish reading your blog after I've seen the movie. Sorry you're feeling bad. :(
