What I like, plus some cleared up misconceptions

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2003)

Oh, man. This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. But I'm going to focus this review mainly on Nightcrawler. Mmmmmmmm, Nightcrawler. Can you say HOT? Sorry, but I was incredibly attracted to him, both because of and in spite of his appearance. I loved his personality, and then I realized that his appearance made him a somewhat taboo object of desire. So that "forbidden fruit" factor clinched it. I love him. And how great is it to see a devout Catholic character in a movie? I'm so sick of the media's portrayal of dorky, intolerant religious people. But Nightcrawler is one bad mutha', AND a sweet, good Catholic guy. SOOOOOO irresistable. Ok, now that I've said how great Nightcrawler is, let me just say that the reason that Iceman couldn't freeze the water in the end is because there was so much of it, and his powers are still developing (he's just a kid). Second, it would suck really bad if they "revealed" that Mystique is Rogue's mom. First off, she's just her ADOPTED mom in the comic books (NOT biological). And we see Rogue's real mom in the first film, so COME ON. Wouldn't it be better to reveal that Mystique is Nightcrawler's mom? Because she is his real, biological mother, and the movie hasn't made any contradictions to that fact (not yet, anyway). Ok, so there you go. That's my review. Oh, and on a scale of 1 to Awesome, this film is Unfathomably Super-Cool (or on a scale of 1-10, an 11).
