X-men 3 Review

[Yellow Mystic Ranger]

Well, i am happy to say i have seen it, i havent long came back and thought i would review it for you guys.

The film was perfectly done no faults or mistakes, The storyline was absolutly amazing the actors gave it everything they had not to let anyone down. And i am glad to say they didnt let me down. The special effects were awesome and the way that they developed the story through the film was also inspireing.
The only down fall for me was that they killed of 2 of my favorite characters but i wont tell you who cause dont want to spoil it for you.
Over all the film its self was a must see. If i was to give it a score out of 10 i would give it a 10. I recommend you see this film as it might be the last film they make. Soo go see it and i promise you, you wont be disapointed!

This movie was absolutely PERFECT!!! I loved it
It´s somehow different from the previous films but it´s awesome the same way they are, I just wished some characters had bigger parts in the movie, but it´s ok

It had so much more then the other two films, and having the x-men such as Collosus (Sp? ) Have a bigger role. Seemed cool. Not to mention the danger room scene. Great movie.

It took me several days to figure out my feelings about the movie.

First off, it's different. It's not much like the first two at all. This is due to the director, Bryan Singer, leaving the series to direct Superman Returns and its sequels. The end result is that there's somewhat of a lack of "flow" between the past two films and this one.

The story is now done in the style of a comic book, with much more happening at a much quicker pace than the previous films. This is NOT a good thing. While the others were slower, they had a certain kind of "magic" or "charm", that made you care about the characters, whether they were beating the Brotherhood's skulls in or just siting around drinking an Iceman-chilled soda. That magic is now gone, and we are left with a bunch of characters that severely lack depth, or, more accurately, the character development necessary for us to realize how deep they are.

In addition, the writers have fallen into the "writer's block death trap". When they are confronted with the challenge of making a situation seem more dramatic or figuring out how to make this "the last movie", they resort to the cheap practice of killing off characters. The sad part is that they are killed off in the oddest and most unnecessary ways. The first two movies managed to simultaneously keep the tension going, yet keep everyone alive. X-Men: The Last Stand fails to do this.

The musical score was also sub-par. It kept your blood running, but it was nothing memorable. John Ottman's X2 theme was phenomenal, but for some odd reason they opted not to go with his theme after he left the X-Men series (to work on Superman).

Perhaps the most dissapointing thing of all is that the movie is very (to borrow a phrase from someone on another forum) Wolverine-centric. They basically transfer all of Cyclops' good qualities that made him a great X-man into Wolverine, who then becomes the "superman" of the film. Not only is Logan the tough, rugged loner, but he is also the kindest and most caring person you'll ever meet. Sound confusing? Well, it is, and it sucks.

The only real positives are that (A)the special effects were nice, if not entirely realistic, and (B)there is a ten-second scene after the credits finish that ensure a fourth film. Oddly, that contradicts much of what they were trying to do with this film, doesn't it?

Well, that's my take. In short, X3 had its moments, but its quality, both in plot and direction, were severely lacking.
