Of SM, X-Men 3 and Superman

I went to the SM Mall of Asia this afternoon. It is the 3rd largest mall in the world, and I think the first SM located almost in the middle of nowhere. Doesn't stop the people from flocking to it like Muslims to Meccah....

--------------------

People who've been to the USA tell me that most malls there are located far away from congested areas to prevent traffic jams. Here in the Philippines, malls are situated in the most congested areas, never mind traffic. This new SM however is set far away from traffic. Sadly, the curse of SM lives on. The place was packed. Vehicles were everywhere--private vehicles, taxis right and left, jeepneys, and even buses! Just getting to the parking lot was a nightmare!

--------------------

The mall was just overflowing, so we opted to check out X-Men 3 instead. I had to line up for 15 minutes just to get a ticket, and twice that time to get in. And the film was just an hour and a half long! Talk about last stands.

--------------------

I really liked this 3rd installment. The writer was very bold, and the plot was more interesting--relatively simple, yet very involving. As usual Ian McKellen was sterling. They're actually making a movie spin-off, Magneto, next year. There are more Wolverine sequences here too, bravo! A sneak peek at the Wolverine movie perhaps? And I must say, I enjoyed watching Kelsey Grammer play Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast.

--------------------

And watching the trailer of Superman got me excited. I think it's great that Kevin Spacey is playing the part of Lex Luthor. Superman movies always had good actors to play Lex. If only the new Superman would be as good.

--------------------

All in all, it was an interesting afternoon, though we couldn't have our dinner there because the restaurants were just overflowing and we didn't have the patience to stand around anymore. But I am kinda pissed right now, because I just found out that there's an extra 30-minute clip at the end of the credits. So if you haven't seen it, remember to wait for it when you do.

Surely I did...

But, seeing as I wasn't able to see it, I can't be absolutely sure hehe...

X men 3

isn't as good as u say, well just didnt do it for me, xavier looked really gay, acted really gay, so mayb is gay. cyclops killed so easily, dat is definitely too gay. ian mckellen is gay. wolverine killed like wat 10,000 mutants? dat's way too gay, so all the other mutant can just jump really good? dats their special power? juggernaut is not mutant, he just got a magical armor, and plus he can't take his armor off. they should've just computer imaged the whole beast and juggernaut instead of using human actor. and wat is the role of angel in this movie? he appears on almost every poster, yet is completely not involved in the story. he was supposed to be turned into war-angel by apocalypse. and no apocalypse, a lot of bullshit though if u ask me, which u didnt so its kinda gay.
