The only major death that wasn't reverted was cyclops, and that was more of a disappearance than anything.

No, I'm complaining about the movie inadvertantly reverting anything it did by the time it was over. As in, it was utterly pointless D:

And it's not so much that characters can come back, it's that one never died, and one is known for coming back over and over.

See, had they not reverted Xavier's death, or had they shown Cyclops getting killed, or anything similar, we'd actually have something meaningful accomplished(even if it could eventually be reverted)!

the movie was literally a spectacle of powers and explosions with no actual content

stuff 'happened' but nobody cares because none of the characters were actually developed at all besides wolverine. for example, many fans were actually happy about cyclops dying, not me because hes my favorite x-men character, but... even if it was handled better just killing off some character who nobody feels connected with in the first couple minutes only works if their death impacts other characters and provides drama that way. unfortunately, nobody seems to actually care (or even notice, really) that he dies and it impacts literally nothing except that it gives them an excuse to let storm get more screen time. hell, i am pretty sure that cyclops was killed off because the actor went with bryan singer to do superman returns rather than because the writers actually thought it was meaningful or interesting in some way.

basically the whole movie was just to try to fit as many new 'characters' in and have them fight, but nobody has any connection to them or reason to care about them besides that they like those characters in the comics. this is why I think the first x-men film is easily the best x-men film...it focuses on a small group, they all get a fair amount of screen time and most of them have some kind of story arc.

Anybody hating on Cyclops probably hasn't picked up a comic book. The man makes the hard decisions, he kicks ass, he's one of the more dynamic character out there.

(not targeted at you LtM I know you picked up a comic book, I meant the guy comparing him to Freddy. Though Fred is also cool)

The only good part about the movie was whenever they dropped the "I'm the Juggernaut, b****" line. Everything else was atrocious.

Also, every single media Cyclops is in except for the comics, they make him such a douche. I don't get it. Wolverine & The X-Men is the worst offender of this. I recall the one Cyclops-centric episode of it where it felt like they were purposefully trying to make him look like the biggest douche in the world. It became hilarious at one point.

This. Cyke >>>>>> the other X-Men.

Last Stand was terrible for many reasons, though. I think the only thing I actually liked was Kelsey Grammer as Beast.
