And of course they needed Kitty to push Rogue to the cure, but it was just one more character in an already packed film. Although even just the frustration of not being able to touch Bobby, never mind that he was flirting with anyone else, I think could have made that point nicely. I just feel if they'd made two films they could have really gone to town with all the plots, especially the Dark Pheonix stuff which could made a brilliantly apocalyptic film all on its own.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying it was bad, of course. Still much entertainment going on and it was all competent: nothing especially bad except Vinnie Jones who will probably still end up the most quoted character out of the whole thing!<BR/><BR/>And yes, with you on the acting props. Especially Beast. Hurrah for Beast.Russelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882590221382217329noreply@blogger.com
