dumblemopX-3 was amazing.
Alright, so apparently, objectively it sucked. It was only an hour and a half long, it plays hell with the comic series, it lacks in character development, and auxilliary mutants are just thrown at you with no explanation.
Still, I didn't know it was that short when I was watching it and I can only go by what my dad's told me and what I've seen of the animated series in terms of faithfulness to the literature. The characters are all a little shallow, and there are an abundance of unnamed back-up mutants that clearly have a source in the comics but show up with no explanation and sometimes die with no explanation.
But besides all that, it kicks ass. Although, I may have been distracted by the abundance of hot women in this movie. You've got Rogue, Mystique, Jean Grey, Arclight, Psylocke, Callisto, even Shadowcat.
Rogue I think has longer hair in this movie. Anna Paquin's lips, as always, hot, although she doesn't use them as much in this movie as in the others, which was disappointing. I suppose she got her spotlight in the first one, but... I like to see pretty girls, but I'd rather they'd talk instead of just standing around.
Speaking of just standing around, Jean Grey is hot but that's kind of all she does in this movie. But is she ever hot. Her hair is also longer. I guess it's hard to get a haircut when you're at the bottom of a lake. She has kind of cool but essentially pointless outfits.
As for Mystique, I don't know why you would need a new name if your parents named you Raven Darkholme. I mean, come on. Skylar maintains she's hotter without the blue stuff, but I disagree. Mystique, essentially naked and blue, with those weird eyes, kicking ass: awesome.
Psylocke and Callisto are nice to look at. Psylocke doesn't talk much, but Callisto has a nice voice. Purple hair on Psylocke and the tattoos on Callisto work great.
Storm, meh. She looks better with the shorter hair, but she also has too much Catwoman in her in this movie. It's partly the hair, partly her movements.
Kitty Pryde looks like she's twelve, but she's actually only a month younger than me. Kitty...Kitty is cute, she's adorable...but she looks like she's twelve.
And Arclight? Androgyny FTW. Wow. Click here for some photos of Omahrya Mota to see what I mean. (These are not safe for work. Or parents. Etc. Lol.)
As for the guys...meh. You know me. :P Angel's pretty cute and I'm trying to remember where I recognize him from. Actually, I think the only thing I've seen him in is Big Trouble but I don't really remember it...but he looks a damn lot like the Flint from Liz's show in his IMDb photo. Wolverine's character falls pretty flat in this movie, I like him a lot better in the first two. Iceman, Colossus, Pyro, not that cute. Leech looks a lot better with hair. Juggernaut is just funny. ("Here at Illyria, we do not discriminate on the basis of gender, bitch!") Is it weird that I like Magneto and Xavier the best?
So character development-wise, the movie is a little weak and has some weird continuity errors that have you going WTF at the worst possible moments. But it's still damn cool. And I think if the only thing the five of us nerds are discussing on the way back is the physics of everyone's powers (Shadowcat should be able to fly, Storm can fly so she should be able to explode people's heads, etc), it was a pretty good movie.
There are other things but I can't discuss them because of spoilers. I mean, there's really not a whole lot you can say about such a short, packed movie that isn't a spoiler, so I'll talk about how hot the actresses are.
I do have one question: Where was Jubilee? She's credited in the second one too, but I didn't see no fireworks. Even Shadowcat is clearly in the early ones, and you'd think fireworks would be a little obvious. And Nightcrawler just disappears. And Gambit is not in it, again. Also, stay for all of the credits.
Well, I guess I have to go be useful now. I should've probably done all this later, because now my dad is all mad at me. I'll write more about that and everything else later.

And the blue Mystique is def. sexy.
And no, it's not strange that you like Magneto and Xavier the best, because they are awesome.
