Every once in a while, X-Men 2 will be on TV or something, and I'll watch it all the way through and be simply awestruck at how well-crafted and perfect that movie was - I'll start to get excited about X-Men 3, and how much potential there is to make it so completely awesome, and then I think about what you just said and I seriously just feel like blowing my fucking brains out.......
X-Men 2 is probably in the top three for best comic book movies ever made - simply AWESOME movie, one of the best endings ever in a movie. The reactions of Wolverine and Cyclops to the Jean Grey deal transcend comic book hokiness and hit you personally - quite emotional. Just a good, solid movie. Why in the fuck did they have to completely ruin the damn series with 3????? Why Marvel, why?????
Also, do a Find and Replace with "X-Men 3" in the above paragraphs with Spiderman 3, and I feel the same way
What the fuck were they thinking???
