Frankenstein's Monster!
Best part of the movie.
Best part of the movie.
Charles finding a happy memory in Eric that gives him the serenity to move the dish. It made me weepy. The scene with the dish is purely character driven, and it's so tightly written, so assuredly directed, and so effectively acted that it blows that scene in X2 out of the water. You don't have to be an X-Men fan to be moved by it. It's genre-transcendent, and simply a great piece of filmmaking.
My favorite scene in the movie too. I can't say enough things about this excellent scene.Charles finding a happy memory in Eric that gives him the serenity to move the dish. It made me weepy. Yeah, I got that teary-eyed feeling when Wolverine went berzerker during the mansion raid in X2, but that was geek nostalgia for the most part.

It's such an emotional moment and incredibly powerful acting from both James and Michael.The look Charles gives him as he is lying on the floor and Erik is calling him his brother is superb, as he knows Erik has gone to far to ever follow their dream in the way Charles wants.
