The Deceased: Scott Summers AKA Cyclops
The Death: Turned into a mere collection of particles by former lover gone wild, Jean Grey.
Why So Lame? Not only is poor old Cyclops offed within the first half hour, he barely even gets the chance to say goodbye. On top of that, his actual death takes place off-screen, meaning the only confirmation we get that he has indeed snuffed it, is a quick glimpse of his fallen visor and then nothing until his tombstone is shown at the end of the film. We know Fox were pissed at James Marsden for joining DC’s Superman reboot, but still… Have a little respect for the character at least!
How To Make It Awesome: Cyclops should have been up there firing off energy blasts with the rest of his mutant buddies at the film’s big climax. Jean could still have killed him then, but the whole thing would’ve been far more epic.

I thought Haldir was in Fellowship as well, kind of defeats your argument a bit there, though you still don't really care agreed.

Erm, The twist in Signs has nothing to do with the 'Water' it was supposed to be the 'there are no coincidences' and about fate and destiny, that his wife had warned him earlier whilst dying. That is equally a c**p twist. I do admit that when i first saw signs, the twist for me was that the Aliens actually did exist because other than a finger and loud banging we hadn't seen any. Up to that point I assumed the family were being duped by some reality show.

Who actually rooted for these people in CLOVERFIELD..? I mean, they're just a bunch of rich kids with no worries in life. Well, other than a huge monster coming after them.. But really, I did not like these kids.

Cyclops' death was lame but it was only coz James Marsden left to be with his buddy Bryan Singer who both thought Superman would be better than rounding off the trilogy. Marsden ends up getting what like, 20 mins totak screen time?

Signs... does make you question the aliens' intelligence when if water is fatal they invade a planet 70% covered in the wet stuff

Monkeynuts30 - The Antartic, the Moon and the bottom of the Ocean are all pretty fatal for humans - but they still go there.

What about Michael Douglas when shot by Robert Duvall in Falingdown? Good film but the ending was a little cheesy when he pulls out his water pistol gives it a squirt and falls off the Pier. ha ha "I would have got you" tut tut!

I thought killing Bill was so right from the script point of veiw. i mean the Bride would have never been able to kill him in any other way he is far more skilled to be taken down by sowrd or one on one fight. He went away with such dignity
