X-Men: The Last Stand

I loved this movie.

However what they tried to tackle was the Dark Phoenix storyline and that just failed completely.
By the end Jean Grey turned into more of an afterthought than a character.

Now for comic fans EVERYONE knows the story of the Dark Phoenix! It is a story of loss, sacrifice, and genocide on a galactic scale. If you aren't familiar with it, just search for Dark Phoenix Saga, I'm sure that someone out there has summarized it or buy the trade paperback. You won't regret it.

Yes there is lots of controversy concerning the true ending of the Dark Phoenix but the point is that the movie failed in that regard and threw her into a different storyline all together.

It could have been done, it would have been about a three hour movie but it would have been epic and quite possibly the best comic based movie of all time. The Ben Hur of comic based movies, if only someone in Hollywood would have read a few comics.

It is frustrating at times when you have this grand idea of how it should be made but can't because of a variety of reasons, like not having the funds to make your vision of the story.

Now at 4:00 P.M. today the Coca Cola 600 will begin! Woohoooo!!!!
