    I got “X-men 3: The Last Stand” from Blockbuster so I could check out the three Alternate Endings. I was so disappointed in the decisions they made in the film that I was hoping a major alternate ending would make me feel better.
    Well dammit now I feel even more disappointed.
    The first ending is 40 seconds and is exactly the same as the original ending, only Beast makes a joke about needing larger classrooms for all the new students at the school.
    The second ending is 44 seconds long and shows Rouge returning from the clinic where they were healing mutants. This time she didn’t use the “cure” to get rid of her powers. Although it was a such a short scene it’s the version that should have been in the original film. I mean to have the “real” version as her losing her powers goes against what it means to be an X-man.  The X-men are there to show that its ok to be different. They are about accepting yourself for who you are and it just seems wrong that in this third film they had a major character go against that.
     The third ending was 1 minute 4 seconds and has Wolverine at the bar he was in the first film. The bar tenders says “I remember you” and then gets him a drink. The bar tenders also asks “Where are you headed, home?” and Logan says “Yes.”  I’m guessing this was supposed to be a tease for the Wolverine-spin-off, but if it was there was no teasing at all. It was really lame.
   Making the DVD more pathetic was the fact that there were no other special features. There were no featurettes or behind the scenes stuff. There were a few east eggs, but they weren't funny or cool.
