X-Men

I'm glad there isn't going to be an X-men 4. Because the last stand sucked so bad. Not only from the X-men (comic canon) POV but the movie itself was... well... typical.

How to create a Hollywood blockbuster:
Gratuituous servings of the following - Nudity, Violence, Grandstanding, Death, Romance. Throw in a little teenage angst and internal conflict to make the audience think the film has a point. Try to have your good-looking leads half-naked as far as possible, even though it defies all logic that a shirt would burn off faster than pants if they're supposed to be made of the same material and why on earth would you cover Jean Grey with a blanket if you're going to dress her in that skimpy black underwear suit thing, don't you know it's just a temptation to people like Logan, and please don't tell me Mystique wanders around naked all the time but only recovers a sense of decency when she turns human?

And the ending was far too melodramatic, by my reckoning. "Kill me..." she says. Ugh.

ARGH. Whatever. You've probably heard this rant before.
