Listen here Sally Struthers, I consider the x-men films much more important than the Underworld franchise. Because Synger did such a great job with 1 (A-) and 2 (A), I had high hopes for no 3, even with a new director.


Yeah, that's obvious. What with the, "This is gonna suck!" "This looks TERRIBLE!" "There's no way this is going to be any good!' - type comments. Good to know you walk in with an open mind.

A B grade is crushingly dissapointing when you're talking about you're favourite movie series with such high quality films preceeding it.


I guess.

Still seems like a generous grade, though.

I'm more interested to know if this was a compliment or an insult. Choose carefully!

Exactly.

The first film is probably my #12 or #13 of all-time.

The second is in my all-time Top 10.

Not a single franchise has ever got this far with me. I got several franchise films among my all-time faves, but it's never two, usually just one of the series.

In such a case, a B is CRUSHINGLY disappointing.

On its own, it is an entertaining film. Good summer fun, certainly enjoyable. You see, we've argued about this before, makeshift. I see summer blockbusters usually for pure fun and not something more. This delivers in the fun department, thus the good grade. It does not deliver otherwise as I have gotten used to with the series.

Like...I am sure that Michael has found the third season of Alias disappointing compared to the second, even though it was good on its own.

As I've said before, our taste in films is confrontingly weird. Except for rom-coms we most often agree.

And like you I came out of the cinema wanting to walk in front of a car. But your "B" grade suggests this has some sort of merit. It did not.


Well, I see you just raised it to a C- yourself...

I'll tell ya what I'm talking about: I did give BATMAN BEGINS an "A" WHEN COMPARED TO THE LAST 2 MOVIE'S.. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU?? When compared to Tim Burton's movie's?? It received a "C" and like it or not, there was ALOT of BB that was just flat out boring as fuc* whether you want to admit it or not and chances are, you won't if your a diehard BATMAN fan.. Tim Burton's BATMAN movie's didn't take themselves overly serious like what Nolan brought to the mix.. The Batmobile Prototype blew and to this day, no one can STILL give me an logical answer as to how the Prototype Batmobile could jump from roof top to roof top without falling through the roof weighing 2000 LBS that it did??? Nice one Nolan..

Well, genius, incase you haven't noticed, I said it is crushingly disappointing compared to the first two movies as well!

Hopefully the humor hasn't been taken out of the final picture, right?

Mostly, it was. I remember laughing once or twice.

Usually, it's Wolvie providing his trademark one-liners.

Well I will find out myself tomorrow night, I am still looking forward to it being an X-Man fan. Also there will be more movies I think calling the Last Stand was trying to get more people to come out. I think they will just start a new trilogy either through Fox or Marvel will fiance the movies themselves.

Well, judging by the reviews here, it looks like I am not the only one disappointed here.

I thought it was far better then the other two. IMO they are highly overrated, almost as much as Spider-Man and its sequel. This is the first PG-13 rated "popcorn" comic-book movie that I really liked (of the PG-13 movies I only liked BB more). It was a lot funnier and entertaining for me. I still liked Underworld: Evolution and V more, but this was a great action movie IMO.

The whole reason I was looking forward to this, unlike most here, was because Singer was replaced with Ratner. He might not be the best director, but I've never left the theater after one of this movies without being entertained. He didn't disappoint me.

I hate it when people say that SPIDERMAN and it's sequel are overrated.. Like it or not, that IS the Best Comicbook Franchise out and BB doesn't hold a candle to it.. The SPIDERMAN Movie's certainly didn't make the $$$ they did for no reason..

I don't doubt that it wasn't some fluke. Just my opinion.

Spider-Man>X2: X-Men United>X-Men>Spider-Man 2>Batman Begins>..... X3

I'm sure X-Men 3 is a good (unintentional) comedy movie, probably even better in that department than the already very laughable 2nd installment of this overall paltry series.
