X-Men 3 : The Last Stand

As I said, the day isn't over and I still have to go back to SM Mall of Asia but this time to watch the next awaited movie after The DaVinci Code… X-Men 3 : The Last Stand . I received the invitation to watch the Press Screening of the movie last Thursday, got so excited coz it will be shown in SM Mall of Asia cinemas… too bad it wasn't in the IMax theater… but I guess that's asking for too much. Beggars can't be choosers.

Although I'd really like to post some spoilers here, it won't be appropriate coz I don't want to burst the bubbles of those who are awaiting for the regular showing of the movie. Just post a comment if you want some spoilers, I'd gladly tell it to you… I won't write here that… bleep bleep bleep… hehehe

Up to now I'd still can't believe to what happened in that movie. The story has the elements of the usual comic facts we know and stitched it together to create a new storyline that you would not imagine nor predict that would even happen in the movie. It actually bested the two previous X-Men in terms of the story line. In this final chapter of the "X-Men" trilogy, you'd see more mutants and mutant powers used at its best… action packed mutant fight scenes that you have never seen in the previous X-Men movies. The only short coming is that you have to know a few about Marvel comics to find out which mutants are which. But if you are not an X-Men fanatic… it would not be a problem.

So for the risk they have taken for the X-Men story they did for this movie, I'd give them a 4 thumbs up! (2 hands thumbs… and two toe thumbs)… I know not everybody would agree so sue me!

There isn't so much improvements to the special effects but it is still great and kinda suffice the needs of the movie.

If there will be a fourth installment of X-Men we can only speculate. I won't spoil… I did promise. Hehehe…

Next press screening would be that movie of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Then of course the next much awaited movie for this year… Superman! (Sana sa IMax na ito!)

Sounds promising. I’m still going to manage my expectations however. They changed the plotline of Jean Grey from dying in outer space to dying in a flood.

as i said, their story is quite risky coz not every body especially the marvel purist, would not want the stories all mixed up… but for me a not so afficianado, the risk is all worth it. don’t expect much from the comic trivia, if you’ll depart from that context you’ll sure appreciate the movie… :)

By the way, I just noticed the photos in your Flicker strip on the right (the Wawa Dam pics). I have the same pics on my computer – so I was wondering if they are my pics or yours/others? If they are mine, could you please credit me pleeeeeeeease? Thank you…
