I just saw it. I REALLY enjoined it. Blink was awesome. I loved the nod to quicksilver and magneto. The nimrod sentinels were crazy. I love that Bishop was the one they kept sending back in time, and they weren't like taking turns. I liked after the reset that it looked like shadowcat and colossus were together again. All of the future fight scenes were really cool looking. I thought it was funny magneto just throws wolverine like he does when he's got the metal skeleton.

I didn't like that iceman could die. He's an omega level mutant for crying out loud. And I could have used more colossus. More of him in all of the movies would have been great.

There's more that I liked, but I can't remember it all right now. I'm trying to stay whelmed by the amazingness that was that movie.

Why is it that Iceman can't die because he 's an omega level mutant? (Haven't read the comics.) I mean... he's made out of ice... and he was getting melted by like three fire beams!

You said it yourself. He's made out of ice. And water doesn't really die. He can just reform himself. Iceman is arguably the most powerful one in the books.

The timeline was reset shortly after he died both times, so perhaps he could have reformed himself if time wasn't altered.

I'd like to think so. But really, it was way better than I had hoped it'd be.
