The Last Stand

So I saw it today. I don't see why critics are giving a bad rap. I think it's a good movie, with only some corny dialogue and this extremely gay dude.

Other than that it's excellent. The movie begins with the future Magneto and the not-yet-wheelchair-bound Professor Charles Xavier interviewing young Jean Grey. They invite her to bea student at "Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters", the boarding school where mutantslearn to use their powers. It then cuts ten years later to Mr. Gay up there trying to saw his wings off. It then goes on to reveal a "cure" for mutation. Magneto and his Brotherhood are against it, as are the X-Men. Only Magneto wants to kill people and blow up stuff to make his point. Also, Jean Grey is reborn as The Phoenix, her dual-personality ten times more powerful as her old self. Obviously she cannot control it, and ends up killing Cyclops and a few others. I can't really say any more without putting a big SPOILER ALERT!!! on top, so you have to see it yourself now!

Jessica Alba is reason enough to see it.

Um, Jessica Alba isn't in it.

I liked the winged guy, but I agree about the corny one-liners they had peppered in there. I definitely liked the movie, well worth the money.
