I get what yer talking about now. I missed the end portion of the movie I guess, after the credits roll. My brother told me about it earlier today and it all makes sense. Now its not as bad.

I enjoyed it, better than I expected. Really didn't seem far off the others.

Juggernaught said "I'm the Juggernaught, Bitch" during the film in the release I saw (UK, remember), and in the portion after the credits we only saw Xavier waking up in his new body.
What else did you guys see?

I guess the cure isnt pure?

Also, I thought the Spike guy was pretty lame.

was juggernaut really as gay as everyone tells me he was?

juggs was probably one of the coolest characters in the marvel universe.

just a big mofo that fucked shit up, i mean he was very deep... but he was pretty badass.

one of my top5 marvel characters imo.

Oh yeah forgot about the magneto thing left.

Do you think it's him regaining some power, or a little bit of power left?

I think people didn't like the Jug because he had an english accent (thank god they didn't try and get Vinne Jones to do an american one).
Was his nationality ever made clear in the comics?

juggernaut was just cheesy muscle in the movie
people expected more, as in the comics he is xavier's half brother, and not a mutant, so thats an whole other story

magneto is probly getting his powers back, although chess piece usually arent made of metal... dumb dumb
and he might get his power back cause he was such a powerful mutant or wahtever, even though he was a total pussy in the movie


oh and :

I absolutely loved that Wolverine/Phoenix ending - impeccable mythology - - I'm gonna write up a thing on it soon when I don't have to go to bed...blew me away though.

For the same reason Magneto didn't rip Wolverine apart at the start of the battle.

Another alternative would be somehow launching that little cure boy at her :)

X3 made my soul hurt...

I don't expect them to stick to the comics, but at least come up with better story/dialogue. At least there was some fan service with the number of mutants shown, but seems they spread everyone out too thinly.
