Still a terrible, terrible film that can't be seen with the first two X-Men films....
Yes, when I first saw the "weather" line on the trailer, I thought "damn we have a hell of a great line there". But in the movie, it's said like "Hey, hello Storm, you of all people know how fast the weather can change, now let's have breakfast, shall we?". A line like that should be placed at the end of the scene, with one last take showing Storm's face, thus letting it get to us. But right after the line Xavier goes on blabbing. Shame.Even the humor in X3 didn't compare to the first two.
Logan and Hank's first exchange was horrible when compared to Logan and Scott's 'you're a dick' or Logan flipping Scott the claw scenes in X1 or Logan's 'save it' comment to Kurt's babbling introduction.
So much of the dialogue in X3 was embarrassingly bad. Hardly anything memorably quotable like in the first two films. Rogue's comment about boys only wanting one thing and Charles' you of all people should know how fast the weather can change might be the only lines that comes close, but most of the dialogue is forgettable.

Yes, I just did a mistake. Still, it doesn't stand out as it should, imo.No he doesn't. He says 'You of all people know how fast the weather can change' and she stops, stares, and says 'There's something you're not telling us' and then they go in to meet Beast.
I think it did serve the trick of creating suspense. He didn't go on blabbing at all.
I have to say i hated the 'You're a dick' line - i also hated Scott's acceptance of it, and i laughed at Jean's reaction to his acceptance (she looks Scott up and down with contempt). It didn't bode well for the character even back then.
When he tells Scott to keep his 'eye' open, it's Jean who reprimands Wolverine with a sharp 'Logan!'. It was all horrible.
Funny, it looks like she smirks to me.
It's Cyclops who reprimands Wolverine with a sharp 'Logan!' as it should be.
No, she doesn't. She puts hands on her hips and looks Scott up and down as if to say what a wimp he is.
I am convinced it was Jean who reprimands Wolverine.

My thoughts have not really changed. I enjoyed many parts of the film, but felt the script/ studio politics created many weak points -- it had more potential. I like both X1 and X3 equally, with X2 being my favorite.
Maybe the movie would be okay if the story took place in a bizzare parallel Marvel universe were very little makes sense.
Closure?!
What good is the Closure if it was Craptastic Closure?!
In The Opinions of many anyways.
Oh Thank God Rogue is human, Scott's dead, Jean's dead, Xavier's dead, Mystique might as well be dead, Wolverine's the home ec teacher, Beast is in office even though the X-Mansion probably needs more staff members, and Storm is trying to take on a whole school practically by herself.... Oh yea the unexperienced kid members are still around!
Now that's Closure!!
Sorry i got carried away.

Mystique being cured is not that devastating; she's had her time in the movies and Rebecca said at one point she'd had enough of the make-up and that X3 would be the last time she did it. .
