  • really quick rant...

    you know what I'm starting to get really tired of? Me practically apologizing for something because I don't like it, or me practically apologizing for something because I do like it.
    I'm also really tired of people complaining about things with no real proper logic behind it.
    Just stop people. Stop.

    *edit*

    alright, the real reason for that rant? X-Men : The Last Stand. I haven't seen a *geek* film more polarizing in opinion since the Matrix sequels. I think I'm in the minority opinion once again, go figure.

    I like "X-Men : The Last Stand" because of the story / theme more so
    than the actual film making. I can nitpick all I want, but I can't deny
    that I was in fact greatly entertained by the movie.

    I
    found faults in some character development, but at the same time I
    thought they did all they really had to to serve the plot. The inner
    turmoil of the Phoenix is something I would have liked to have seen
    expanded on, but for the other characters, I thought their motivations
    were presented well enough. I also felt that in comparison to the other
    X-Men movies, I didn't feel a great difference in their characters.
    Only Wolverine / Professor X got the best comic to movie adaptation
    when it comes to the films, as everybody else were altered to great
    degrees.

    I can say that as a director, Brett Ratner was more to
    the direct point of showing / explaining a theme, while Bryan Singer
    would have lingered a little bit more to completely let it sink in. I'm
    sure Singer would have let the movie run 30 minutes more though, which
    I would have liked.

    I've been defending X3 since I saw it, and
    through all the discussions and arguments that I experienced, I have to
    admit that my grade for the film might change. I know, it goes against all rules about reviewing movies, but I'd like to see this as a special case. I originally gave it a B+ but now I might be willing to drop it to a B-
    (the same grade I gave the first X-Men movie). You can look towards an edit in my original review to see if I indeed lowered the grade.

  • You mean for work?  I don't see why you should be sorry, maybe only at work because customers are always right.  Just don't let that carry over to your off work life.

  • nope, nothing to do with work.
