jackI saw X-men 3 again. It's still well done (though still silly in all the ways people said it was before).
* It definitely benefits from a big screen
* Magneto and the tattoo, magneto and the bridge, Hank "There comes a time when any man... oh, you get the idea", are all my favourite moments.
* It's still stupid to build a magneto-proof prison out of metal. What's next, out of money or high explosives?
* I notice Magneto, despite being willing to kill all humans in the world last film, still attacks on foot rather than, eg. dropping a nickel-iron asteroid on alcatrz island
* Alternatively, I notice Storm, Magneto, Wolverine, Charles, Pyro, etc could nearly run the economy of a small country. What would it be worth to never have any storms devastate any coast for ever, or free space travel, or free heat, or free meat? Oil barons get legal breaks, how about mutants? :)
ETA: Did Magneto's powers start coming back for any particular reason? Is he just that cool? Do class 4 mutants have greater powers in other ways? Or did they just not have enough long term testing for the cure and it's going to wear off for *everyone*. That would have been handy to know before.
ETA: The academy is going to be fun with Jimmy in some classes, it'll keep some people on their toes.

Mystique: That bothered me an awful lot in lots of ways the first time. The best analogy I can come up with is someone brain-damaged, and not considered a real person any more in a battle zone. But even then you'd try to care for them if you could. Magneto really does seem to assume it's over without question. And even that she's on the other side, considering he let her live, but didn't bother asking her to be quiet or setting her up with a retirement.
