From:

I'm not sure mine was a review so much as documentation of all the things that caused me to make squeaking noises/cry during the film *g*\

I am having all kinds of nostalgia for the years I've been in this fandom, the movies that have come and gone, the friends I've made as the canon expanded and expanded, and it's really lovely. Sloppy and emotional hugs for everyone, okay?

Yes, this. I love that every few years when a new film is released, we all seem to circle back around to this fandom and squee in unison. (Well, if it's any good. And this one was the BESTEST EVER OMG.)

The bong that appeared in the future not so cunningly disguised as a vase?

HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT?!

The Professor sits there solemnly while the students look and look away and desperately try not to think "Was that a bong? Does the Professor even know what a bong is?"

I imagine that any future student caught with drugs gets a long, gentle talk from the Professor about how this is not the best way to deal with your problems. Meanwhile, the rest of the staff think he is too lenient about this kind of thing and Hank conspicuously does not say anything at all.

I was not prepared for how much I enjoyed Peter Maximoff's storyline, but wow! Evan Peters was great - droll and hyperactive in turns, and the scene in the Pentagon kitchen was amazing.

I just love the way everyone is freaking out - understandably, since Erik + kitchen full of sharp things + guards with plastic bullets is likely to be a mess all around - and he just casually solves their problem with as much slapstick as possible.

The thing I enjoy about Bryan Singer's X-Men movies is that we see people using their powers in interesting ways - Peter vibrating the glass in Erik's cell, Blink and the way her team used her portals so smoothly in combat, Erik threading metal through the Sentinels so he can walk them like puppets.

I love that they are smart about their powers - and smart about other people's powers as well. (Full marks to Logan for figuring out that Charles should be able to talk to himself in the future telepathically.)

Peter Dinklage was all kinds of amazeballs. I hope he gets cast in everything. He did so much with Trask, and his Mystique as Trask was all kinds of heartbreaking.

I cannot believe I forgot to squee about Peter Dinklage in my post, because yes.

It occurs to me that Alex is of an age to be Scott's dad. This is troubling and intriguing at the same time.

If we take the first Wolverine film into account, the timeline actually makes a heck of a lot more sense that way. (Insofar as anything that involves the timeline and the first Wolverine film makes any damn sense. Which it does not.)
