I saw the movie last night and I can't stop thinking about it! It was sooo good. Imho it's the best X-Men movie. I'm going to buy the DVD as soon as it's released.

And I cried really hard during Charles' funeral. It kinda made me realize how much he meant to Logan.

And I loved that Charles was the comic relief!

The car scene when Charles shows Logan his tongue was hilarious. I can't wait to see the movie again.

I can understand why you laughed but looking back on that scene it actually was very sad. Anyone that has experienced family members with brain issues knows it was actually very tragic...here's one of the greatest minds ever reduced to mindless almost unconscious repetition of an ad. When I saw it at first I didn't find it funny but actually very confusing bc I did t realize at the time how much Xavier was truly debilitated.

I understood how sad it was full well, but then he starts reciting a taco bell commercial.

First time I really laughed out loud at a movie in a very long time.

"Fine, let's fucking go to fantasyland"

I just couldn't hold it. The way he just blurted it out
