text: I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.  They did some things I didn't agree with at all.\n\nI was mad about Xavier dying, no matter what the clip at the end of the credits showed.  I was mad as Scott dying.  I could see him being a tragic figure for a long time, but I think he would have pulled out of it if given a chance.  I think they over-did pretty much all of the fight scenes to make up for a weak plot, and the emotional scenes, with the exception of the one where Rogue leaves and the part right after Xavier died, fell pretty flat.  I greatly dislike that Rogue actually took the cure, no matter that the end shows evidence that it's not as permanent as the humans thought.  I thought that she'd turn up during the last fight scene and drain Magneto or Phoenix.  I dislike that she came back to Bobby, too.  Let Kitty have him.  And I thought the ending with all of its sunshine and happiness was a little too trite.  I also do NOT like Storm as the leader of the X-Men.\n\nOkay, now for what I did like.  I liked the Rogue and Wolverine scene where she leaves, obviously, because that rang true for me.  I actually liked their explanation of how Jean survived and how Phoenix came into being.  That part was better than the comics or the cartoons, in my opinion.  I liked that they gave the background of Jean in film rather than dialogue alone.  I liked most of the fight scenes as being well done by the actors, and I liked that Wolverine killed Jean because I'm a sadistic person who never liked Jean in the first place and thought she was playing Wolverine a bit too much in the last too movies.  I'm protective of Wolverine.  I also liked Beast, pretty much through the whole movie.  Loved him.  Laughed especially hard at "Oh, h@*&, you get the point!"\n\nMostly, though, *wailing* I WANT ROGUE BACK AS ROGUE!\n\nSorry.  At least she would get the chance to feel love through a touch a little before her powers came back, though.
