X-Men

I'm sorry, but that was the most infuriating movie I've seen in quite awhile. See, comic book movies, while free to take some creative liberties, are expected to follow the general plot of the comic in question. They are NOT expected to kill characters and in other ways remove characters from the plot when such things don't happen in the comic. This happened to too many fucking characters! I had a similar problem with Serenity, but they only killed two characters. In this movie, six people were killed/cured! I realize that directors and screenwriters are free to write what they please, but for fuck's sake, there was too much deviation. Thank you. This rant has been brought to by (insert consumer product here).

Might I point out that Serenity was written by Joss Whedon? As in, the same guy who wrote Firefly? As in "It is not people taking given material and changing it as much as the author continuing on with the story he wrote"? Yeah, it made me sad that certain people died, but, IMO, Serenityw as by far the better movie because of it.

On X3: I personally like death in general and think that unalterable chanegs are awesome because people don't expect them- but, erm, there was a total of two people dead. Where one is ridiculously powerful, which could mean anything and the other is dead by omission of "We never found the body".

'Cause I thought the chess scene did a good job of showing M.'s powerz returning- meaning the drug isn't actually permanent. Also, have you seen the scene after the credits?

No, I didn't stay for that, but I heard about it today.
