Good Clean Mutant Fun

X-Men: The Last Stand was awesome. Sure, the dialogue was cheesy, at times reminiscent of a coming-out after-school special. But I'm able to look past that because this X-Men movie, unlike it's predecessors, had lots of what I want to see when I go to an X-Men movie: crazy mutant fight scenes. The first two were fun, but there was way too much emoting and talking, and not enough laser beams, flying mutants or cool powers. If I want to see kung fu, I'll watch kung fu; when I watch X-Men, I want to see weird stuff, and lots of it, and this movie just plain delivered.

Although a bit lame, my favorite part was when Iceman went full-on; I only wish they'd done some sort of ice spikes thing...oh well. Seriously, this was good times.
