I didn't either, but I think part of that was the hurried ending. I could believe Mystique was just a teenage girl at some point, but then there was some very quick "Wellll now you're a badass terrorist with nothing in between". She went from being unsure of herself to NAKED way too fast as well. And a lot of her lines were just...awkwardly phrased.

I thought it was a miscast when I saw it the first time, but then I saw Hunger Games and got confused. I decided to chalk it up to her being inexperienced and inattentive directing.

I still feel like they should have left the betrayal and the changing of sides for another movie, and given her character time to grow up.

I meant on a purely physical level, but now that you mention it, I didn't like her as the character either. She wasn't terrible to me, but like you said, the ending was rushed, there was little believable character development for her and her characterization in general was a bit hit and miss imo. And the way she left Charles...oh boy.

The betrayal probably would've been better suited for a different movie, but knowing Hollywood that probably never would've happened either. They love to 'get to the point'.

Ooh, physically, I know what you mean. As disguised!Raven, she was cute, but the blue and the style just did not work for her like it did for Romijin. Romijin can play sexy and confident in the way that Mystique is.

That is to say, Mystique knows she's gorgeous, and that she can be whatever a person most desires. It sits in her mind as a part of her. However, it's not her priority. Her priority is being an efficient ninja who can do anything. For some reason, when Romijin was Mystique, while you knew she was sexy, that wasn't what held your attention, nor was it what concerned you. She was a badass terrorist to be reckoned with.

I think the actress just is either too young, or it just isn't in her repertoire.

The make-up and hair was just not as well done this time either, surprising, considering the original job was eleven years earlier, and you think they would have learned from it.

Hollywood is full of idiots who think we have the attention span of mayflies. That's nothing new.

Yea, agreed on all accounts. Mystique was not only beautiful but she was confident in her beauty in a way Raven never seemed to (organically) be. And of course she was badass and competent as hell, and again, Raven didn't get to show off much this film. Like you said, she jumped from "Blue is ugly!" to "Clothes are for chumps!" rather quickly, and instead of nodding along because it seemed like a natural progression for her, I side-eyed the screen.

The makeup def wasn't as appealing on her either. Seriously, you think they would improve after all this time. I guess it might just not be flattering on Lawrence, but...idk.
