X-Men 3

In order to celebrate the passing of my PENULTIMATE CALL OF RESIDENCY--the last time I will have to spend 30 straight hours in the hospital, I might add--I went to watch the "X-Men 3" movie yesterday afternoon.



The verdict: not quite as good as the first two X-Men movies (which in my opinion are the strongest comic book movies out there), but still had some memorable scenes. I loved the new characters they introduced--in particular Juggernaut and Kitty Pryde (the mutant who can walk through walls), and the final scene with Magneto playing chess in the park (I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen the movie yet) provides enough ambiguity to make us consider an "X-Men 4". You could tell it was a different director, and I didn't necessarily agree with his decisions to kill off so many characters--then again, it comics, nobody's really dead permanently.
