Which ending? ;D
--- Quote ---One thing I really like about the X-Men films is they bring in emotional impact which some action flicks don't have to this extent. I would recommend it but would caution it wasn't quite what I was expecting.

What were you expecting?
--- Quote ---She was in love with Bobby - that was the whole point of her taking the "cure". That's why she came back to the school.

So, in spite of Wolverine's warning, she DID do it for Bobby and their relationship and not for herself.

*SPOILERS*
I was expecting something different regarding Jean and Logan. I hadn't read anything prior to watching the film, so I hadn't spoiled myself in any way. I guess I didn't know what Pheonix was going to be like in this installment, so that was a surprise. I was stunned that Jean killed Scott...that came out of left field for me. The whole thing went down differently than I expected, but it wasn't entirely a bad thing.
Yeah, I think Marie did it for Bobby more than anything, but I do think she had a lot of her own motivations on needing to be able to touch anyone, not just Bobby. But she came back for him, so I think that was her bigger motivation.

OK, I had kinda heard what was going to happen and I knew from the comic books about Phoenix, so that wasn't a surprise at all.

Agree. Marie needed to do it for herself, but she is a very young woman and puppy love/first love/jealousy/insecurity is a very strong motivator.
rtprod:
I saw it again and liked it much better the second time. However, I do think the scene at the end of the credits is beyond silly, one of those reversals that calls into question every single thing you've seen for three films.
Could have easily done without that little "twist."
