Am I the only one that finds it ironic, it being called The Last Stand, and having one of the main characters in a wheel chair??? :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

The thing I never understood was the Nightcrawler thing, ok he's not in the 1st but he's in the 2nd and now he's not in the 3rd. I heard it had something to do with the Halle Barry demanding a bigger part and more lines, and they couldn't afford putting Nightcrawler in it or something along those lines.

And Gambit is yet to make an appearance which I don't understand. I assume it had to do with the Iceman and Rogue relationship, seeing as how Gambit is suppose to be with Rogue.

The whole Juggernaut being in this I was so hyped up about turned out to be dissapointing, he really didn't do anything except beat up Wolverine and run through some walls, and then he knocks himself out. I gotta say Vinnie Jones is a freakin' monster.
But that whole "I'm the Juggernaut bitch" line of threw me off, you'd understand if you saw that stupid cartoon.

Colossus had a somewhat bigger part, but he rarely talked and they showed his fighting scenes for like 2 seconds and went to something else.

No problems with Beast at all, it was perfect.

I didn't have a problem with Cyclops dying, he was such a prick anyways in the prequels.

Charles dies, which is really sad to me because I really liked his character.

There was also a lack of Sentinels.

Maybe the additional scenes after the credits explain this, but if there's a sequel then why is the title of this one "The Last Stand?"
(I didn't wait for the additional scenes because I didn't know about them)
About Gambit- the actor that was supposed to play him didn't want to because Gamibt was too much like his character on Lost (my big sister was really mad about this- she ADORES Gambit)
I was just really mad about no Nightcrawler- I loved Alan Cumming's portrayal of him in thesecond one and, heck, I just love Alan Cumming.

Still haven't seen this yet, but I'm a spoiler addict and decided to pop in.

And YES, Mushroomhead, that is pretty ironic!

Didn't like it.  Too many deaths.  I liked part I.  Wasn't the phoenix supposed to rise in flames?

Saw it yesterday, it's really too bad they left Nightcrawler out..he and Sabretooth are my favorites.
While i didnt liked the way they presented Sabretooth in the first movie i think Nightcrawler is the best char on X2.
If you go to page 1 on this thread you'll see my "Cant wait to see Juggernaut" post..well, i'm disappointed..they basicly made him a gigentic europian body-builder with a egg shaped helmet..and in the "I'm the Juggernaut,Bitch"(Rick James?) me and my girlfriend was like: huh?
I enjoyed it of course, but i missed alot of things (most of them was posted already).

oooooh sweet Moses, I LOVED this movie! haha it was AMAZING (I just saw it tonight). Except the President used cliche quotes ("If he wants a war, we'll give him one" "God help us all"), and of course, no Nightcrawler.
But I was waiting for the "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch" like the entire movie (I went with my friend, who had already seen it, so she told me about it.)
And DUDE! the ending=major w00tness!!!!

TOTALLY getting this on dvd like, the day it comes out.

I forgot to ask, did anyone who watches Buffy kind of see a similarity between the end with Jean/Phoenix and Wolverine and the Season 6 finale, with Willow and Xander? Well, at least up until the very end of that sequence.
And she also kind of reminded me of Illyria.
