I have now more or less finished my thesis and am trying to get back into the blog-loop. It feels good to be back!!! Much reading around to get into, but that is the joy of it. I hope you are well :-)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-60928203870171086702009-05-19T14:30:00.000-03:002009-05-19T14:30:00.000-03:00I loved it.

Although my youngest daughter is not a fan of X-Men, she went to see the movie just for the Hugh Jackman factor!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334812243182354729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-66660829103398966432009-05-18T23:54:00.000-03:002009-05-18T23:54:00.000-03:00I have to say that while I thought the actor did a...I have to say that while I thought the actor did a decent job with Gambit, I was a wee bit disappointed with him. I think mostly it was the accent. You occasionally hear a bit of an accent, but Gambit is supposed to be purrrrre smoooooth cajun sexiness, and I just didn't get it with this guy. He did do a darn good job with his fighting though.<br /><br />I did always kind of have a crush on Gambit though so my expectations may just be a bit high. LOL<br /><br />Every other aspect of the film, however, I found absolutely delightful. <br /><br />Wasn't it just heartbreaking when he didn't remember his sweetie!? *sniffs*MsSnarkyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433129988001574898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-4354410783501559692009-05-18T22:17:00.000-03:002009-05-18T22:17:00.000-03:00Travis - my husband agrees with you.

But for me, ...It sounds great when you analyze it. But for me, the movie was kind of pointless.<br /><br />I enjoyed the action, but here were all these really cool and intriguing characters with so little screen time and so little back story.<br /><br />I'd have to give the film a B-. It stays in the 80% range for me because of the action and stunts.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.com
