Finally saw it. I think it was up there with the 2nd episode in emotional impact.
The theme of mutation 'cures' was really good and done well with both the pros and cons shown. You could sympathize with both PsOV.
Angel - while gorgeous - was unnecessary.
The entire movie is geared up for a battle...what does Angel do?
Fly.
A nice, easy target to shoot down with that big, pretty wingspan.
He wouldn't have been much help.
Plus, you know that Xavier's School is on the east coast, and the final battle takes place on the west coast...
Boy, Angel must have been flapping them wings like mad to get there...or he probably just threw on a coat and took an early flight to get there in time.
Rogue was also taken out of the action as she didn't have the talents for a stand up fight.
Kurt, the Night Crawler would have come in handy at the fight, but we guessed he went back to the circus.
We all wondered why Magneto needed an 'army' at all, since Phoenix was more than capable of dealing with all and sundry.
We did think that Rogue and Leech would have made a good couple. She would have been able to touch him.
But we did wonder why she came back to the school. She wasn't a mutant anymore. Why didn't she just go home?
The face-off bewteen Phoenix and Wolverine was really good - Phoenix who can destroy and Wolverine who regenerates and can't really be destroyed. We were hoping Phoenix would manage to rip ALL of Wolverine's clothes off at the end.
Damn.
