Yes, the line can be crossed well

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2006)

This only has spoilers for the insightful. I just saw the film after sitting on my hands for about 2 years aching for some closure. I saw, and after texting my sister in a mass freakout, i came to this site and was appalled by all the nay-saying. Anyone who simultaneously loves the x-men empire and loves cinema would have to realize that this movie could not have gone any other way. It was building, something had to happen. Yah people you like would have to die. No you can not understand the all of the personality facets of a cast this size, including the principles, in the meager dialogue during an action film plot progression. yes some things will change. No some things will not gel with the characters we grew up with in the cartoon and the several comic incarnations. To get it all right there would need to be as many films as comic books and none of us have the wallets for that. for those who have yet to see the film please keep these points in mind. this is how you make a harry potter caliber series (or LOTR for those who need that parallel), not a scary movie series. if anything consider the film series as a spin-off, as Venom to spider-man. this movie is not another ewok f-up, as some have tried to paint it. you just have to realize that movies make you happy, films may or may not. So quit looking for the happy sappy perfect bow tied ending in a film that illustrates the natural conflicts of life in a supernatural setting. its as useless as trying to smile at the end of Schindler's list.
