jackwabbitIt wasn't much, but I'll take it. Just in from seeing Wolverine, but anyone who knows me and knows anything about the film knows that I went to see another mutant.
Bottom line? I enjoyed the film for what it was (I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, guys) and all in all, I'm happy. 'Cuz, really, I just have one thing to say: Long. Live. GAMBIT.

So, Gambit...sigh...I love him more than anything in the X-Men universe. Remy LeBeau is a downright rogue, and we all know how I feel about them. Once again...sigh...anyway. We didn't get to see much of him (and I knew that) but what we saw seemed right to me. Taylor Kitsch was well-cast as my favorite Cajun (Johnny Depp would've done well, too, though...just sayin...though for a prequel he might be a bit old), and frankly just seeing Gambit on the big screen gave me glee. And, well, that's all, really. Rest of the film? Basic comic book sequel type movie and enjoyable for me with that hat on. (Don't think too much - you'll hurt your brain.) BUT THERE WAS REMY! And that's really all it takes to make me happy, folks. Here's another piccie for your thief-loving pleasure:
Had to go old school first, you know, but...this is pretty in its own right, huh?

And, you know, there was Gambit, so, well...I'm good.

Popcorn, soda, and candy? $20
Spending an afternoon with your best friend with your brain shut off?
PRICELESS.
