I remember that Psylocke was incredibly hot in the very odd X-men swimsuit comic they drew for some reason... My friend bought it. (YES, THAT IS THE TRUTH! Friend does NOT = me)

didnt end the series well at all. not a bad film, just poor tying up loose ends


A if its not the last

B- if it is

I saw this a second time , (didn't pay for it), and enjoyed it much more. I give this a C/C+ now.

I thought Magneto walking away from Mystique was one of the best scenes in the whole franchise.

Still attacking me for my grade then?

Hmm... I like the look of disgust in his face upon seeing the "ugly" Raven Darkholme.

Eh.... I didn't like that scene much. It seemed kind of fake to me.

I walked into this film with great trepidation and apprehension. I set myself up for a big disappointment. And, to an extent, I was right. This is a far cry from the first two, both masterpieces in their own right. X1 is one of the best pure fun films of recent memory, and a fantastic starting point for the franchise. X2 is just brilliant. X3, on the other hand, is a step down from both. It has neither the fun of the first nor the drama of the second. The screenplay is quite lazy and poorly written here. That being said, this is still a good flick.

The movie did have its moments. The action scene at the end was quite good, as was the scene in Jean Grey's house. Wolverine remains the best character of the films, but he is rivaled here by Magneto. Jackman and McKellan are by far the best. The effects were perfect, but I would have preferred some more "background mutants" like the second one had. The new mutants were interesting, but underused. The general story about the cure was intriguing but, again, underused. I didn't really mind the random killing of some beloved characters, but Cyclops and Mystique should have been given a proper send-off. And Xavier's death was too... disturbing. I did like the way they did away with Magneto, though, as well as the last scene which leaves room for a sequel. And the scene after the credits was pretty cool.

The real problem with this film is the script. Ratner's direction is fine - he certainly knows how to film action - but Singer brought his writers with him to Superman, and their replacements aren't that good (who are they anyway - IMDb doesn't have them listed). Many sub-plots are introduced but not resolved. Many characters are underused (Colussus and Angel especially). Some of the dialogue borders on after-school special cheese. Some scenes are perfect examples of lazy writing. And the plot attempts to bring about some moral and ethical depth but ultimately falls short. This is a film which would have greatly benefitted by being 20-30 minutes longer and broadening the story. Greatly disappointing.

All in all, this is a worthy addition (conclusion?) to the X-Men series, albeit a step down. I doubt it really is "the last stand" as the scenes bookending the credits seem to suggest otherwise. I am sure that with Singer at the helm, and more competent writers, this would have been just as excellent as the first two.

I will still disgusted.

its a classic summber blcokbuster and the first real blockbuster in the US.

Da vinci is Turing the Overseas marketdown.

And what was that exactly? What made it "special"?

The Nightcrawler scene was good until the slow-motion which is a little too melodramatic and Matrixy for my liking.

It is a great scene.

Overall I liked the film, though I am entirely sure why Ben Foster was even in the film. His opening scenen mad eme think he'd show up at the school earlier, do something at the final battle, you know be in the movie.

I enjoyed it. It had a few flat moments, but overall it was entertaining.

B

*Supposedly* Angel and Colossus had a bunch of scenes (battle or just narrative) deleted. Angel had really great potential, specially how they built him up from X2 (the x-ray of his wings) and the flashback scene in the beginning of this film.

Wouldn't hurt if this movie was the same length as X2, but eh they wanted to shorten it I guess for maximum flow.

X3 is easily the best of the series thus far. I thought the action was well ahead of both X2 and X1. I loved the foreshadowing of "the not so distant future" with the X-Men fighting the Sentinel. I can't wait for X4 as Gambit (my favorite X-Men hands down) should be in it to lure Rogue back in and fight the Sentinels.

Was there a scene after the credtits?? If so, could someone explain what was in it?

A-

That female doctor acquaintance of Professor X's is in some kind of hospital with a person in a bed, and you hear the person in the bed say something, and then the doctor starts to tear up and says "Charles?"

It's a rather...huge...scene regarding future films if they make any more, I'm not sure why it was after the credits.

Someone asked about the screenwriters. They are:

Zak Penn (X2, Elektra, Suspect Zero, Behind Enemy Lines, Last Action Hero)
Simon Kinberg (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, xXx: State of the Union)

I assumed it was the same guy from the video the female doctor was in that Professor showed his class

Correct!!!!!

It ties in to his discussion whether it is ethical to pass on one's memory/mind to another body, as far as telepaths are concerned

Wow. Thanks for the info guys. I might have to see it again now. So when are the Storm and Wolverine movies coming out? I'll assume that they will make X4 after those two movies are made.

Well here my opinion from high school

Only one thought it sucked or was terribile.
50% loved it and found it amazing, 30% found it good, 20% found it okay.

WOM is quite postive with regular fans and regular moviegoers. People loved the scene when the Bridge is picked up.


If they market well they could get 2nd time viewers and other moviegoers.

Did you take this survey for your psychology class?

oh wut the cluff!

I think I might give it a second chance this week sometime.

*RI accent*

I'm wicked smat like that.
