Yes, very pleased they she had more to do.
I really liked the movie and as you all may have guessed Storm/Halle Berry was my favorite character as usual. But Storm was my favorite character before any of these movies with Halle Berry were ever made so it fits perfectly.
My favorite scene was............Naw I won't do it, but just know it involved Storm.
I actually have a piece of an interiview with Halle regarding the supposedly dismissal of her in X3 if she didn't get more screen time.
Here it is:
"SHH!: So you basically told them that you wouldn't come back unless you got to do more in the movie?
Berry: That's what I threatened. (laughs) I really wasn't going to do that, but I thought that I somehow have to scare the sh*t out of them and get them to give Storm a point of view, so I really didn't say that to the studio; I just sort of threw that around thinking that it will get some attention. This is all I ever wanted. Not really more screen time, because I know it's an ensemble, but if Storm spoke for 5 minutes, then I wanted it to be 5 minutes that meant something. 5 minutes of character development; 5 minutes of a point of view and 5 minutes of some back story history, not just "Go get the plane" or "Come on kids, let's go". After three movies, I really wanted her lines to mean something."
"SHH!: Were you ever worried that they might get someone else to play Storm?
Berry: Yes, and I didn't like it. I would never not had come back. Honestly, I love the character and I love the franchise and my responsibility to come and see this character through. I just felt passionately that she needed to be stronger. Making an X-Men film is a big chunk of my year--I could have done two movies in the time it takes to do an X-Men film--so I struggled with this time in my career. I'm not getting any younger and do I want to give nine months out of my year to a movie that I do nothing in, and pass up two roles where I can really do something. It's those sorts of decisions that one has to start making for one's self, so I'm happy that I got to do more in this film."
is it comprehensible.....
