And The Award For Worst Charactor In X3 Goes To...

Sparta* said:
Quills was the worst character ever. He had no point in the movie, and it wouldn't have made a difference if he just wasn't in it at all. It would have helped the overcrowded situation. Psylocke was terrible as well, only because she was so underused, and then died pathetically thus eliminating any chance she has at further development.

exactly, its like his power was worth something if he got close enough to hug you and BAM! your dead. LAME LAME LAME! the deadly hug giver. Arclight was okay for a bit, except the fact that it was the ugliest woman/man i have ever seen, shim looked like the kid from Indiana Jones and the last crusade.

Man this movie pissed me off :(
 
I wish I would have gotten that much out of it, otherwise I might have liked it more.

It's absolutely there t obe gotten. It's clearly the writer's intent. Or those particular kinds of scenes would not have been included.

Actually, I can somewhat agree with you on this one Guard. The Professor can be a downright bastard. He has had similar emotional moments in the comics, but I felt this aspect of his personality was rushed. It's too much of a sudden jump. They don't really seem to ease into it, and half the time it's misdirected at Wolverine . . . nor is the Professor really given any time to come down from being a jackass because he's suddenly dead (and generally when he gets angry, he has the character to come down off his high horse and be reasonable, whereas here, he's pretty much dies leaving the impression that he's deceitful and manipulative).

They easied into it. Watch the infirmary scene again. He's clearly stressed when it opens, and as Wolverine pushes him, Xavier slowly "turns" a bit. It's an aspect of his personality that was always there. It was just never explored. Like Storm having a personality.

He calms down after his altercation with Logan. Granted, he's stern with Magneto, but when he's talking to Jean, he's back to his old self for a while before he becomes intense with her. And there are good reasons for this intensity.
 
The ****ing spikey dude... The only person he could fight was so human docter and how did he kill her? He gave her the hug of death. Nice ****ing job.

^Agreed...very powerful scene :up:

Professor X annoyed me when he was in the infirmary (SP?) talking to Wolverine about Jean. I was just sitting there thinking "What happened to him???". He was like a totally different character.

Ya especially when he said "I don't have to explain myself-especially not to you" or something like that. I was like WTF!

irishmike.

that line was great...

it referred to the fact in the x2 where they said wolverine VOLUNTEERED for the weapon x program! he is a vicious KILLER with a bad attitude..

professor x reads minds so i am sure he knows about wolverines wrong doings.. so why would he explain himself to wolverine???

it is not like he is cyke!!!!!!!!!

great line......

Angel.

"No, no dad, I can't... I can't appear for the rest of the movie. I CAN'T DO THIS!!"

"Son, this is what we all want! We want you to be in this movie!"

"No dad, it's what you want."

My friends thought Angel was hilarious (in a bad way). And I had to agree somewhat. The scene where he turns and runs like that out the window is pretty goddamn silly.
 
Storm, because she was way ahead of herself. Attitude does not equal leadership qualities. You mean to tell me the best she could contribute to the greater cause is catfighting with Callisto? Weak.

And, Professor X, because he was far too submissive and lacked any type of leadership qualities put forth in the first film. Is it just me, or did almost every character cut off/run over/disregard his motives and opinions during the film? Lame.

One thing they should of gotten another director to film it. To bad they couldnt use Sam Raimi or the dude who did X-Men 2

One thing why use 3 different directors for all 3 X-Men movies?

Bryan Singer directed the FIRST TWO movies. They did not have 3 directors.

He was horrible...and every time he spoke I kept thinking he was going to shoot blue lightning from his fingers and beg Anakin to help him.

It was a bad character, and there was no need for him to be all over the film...he had more lines than most of the X-Men combined.

lol. He also reminded me of Palpatine.
 
for me..quills was the worst character...it would make any difference if he wasn't on the film or not, maybe if they gave psylocke all his lines...
 
Yes, Xavier was out of character. Why? Because he never displayed the slightest hint of the qualities he showed in this film in either of the previous two. They just tossed the whole "Xavier is a manipulative *******" quality in with no warning at all.

Thank God I'm not the only one who felt this way. I thought it made Prof X sound like such a hypocrit.

They should have gotten the actor who played the President from X2, and that character would have been better.

Schedual conflicts for the original actor assured his absence in this film.
 
Wow, what up with all the Quill not Quills hate? I like him, the scene with him and Rao was great. I believe he can shot his quills out, but it was nice they used his "hug of death". lol.

I wished they would have used psylocke better, she just pops up out of a wall...wtf? Arclight, I still find it hard to believe s/he's a model...

I agree with everyone about the President, hes way too old, and annoying. I didn't like Rao and her creepy voice.
 
I guess because they had to finish her story, but I agree, her charater doesn't off much more than her emotional problems, which is getting old now.
 
well.. jsut because people are saying it was him. i'm going to say the worst character was gambit. i swear, all he did was stand there for one quick scene watching magnito from a distance and then leaves.. way to get our hopes up gambit.. way to go... =/
 
The worst character by far was "Phoenix". Or I should call her PINO.

Ratner's "Phoenix" was Famke standing around and scowling like it was that time on the month for the entire film! And then a pointless SFX display tacked onto the end of the climax that made no sense whatsoever.

Why bother?
 
Nobody. :p
After seeing the film a second time, I even liked Arclight ! :D

Applaud to that, too bad I can't get over how manly s/he is.
 
After seeing the movie a second time I hate the President even more. His acting was terrible, his delivery was horrendous and his lines were just beyond the pale horrible...in 2006 what crapfest of a script has lines like that??? And as I mentioned before...the president was on screen more and had more lines than almost all of the X-characters combined.

Xavier was out of character, unless youve read the last year of comics (which I did not, but I read ABOUT them).

I dont think Magneto would have left Mystique behind, he would have used her as an example...but overall you really cant question McKellen, he was awesome in all three.

Angel was poorly done, even with the very little they gave him to do...

Im fine with everyone else, I think.
