Critics' X3 Film Reviews: Master Thread

[Advanced Dark]

This is all that's posted in the most recent mailbag there but at least it's positive:

Q.Did Gossip Monkey really see “X-Men 3”, or is this anonymous source a studio person just promoting the movie? - Thade
A. ‘Monkey’ indeed has had a peek at “X-Men 3”, from what I hear, and enjoyed it immensely. Ha. The dude can’t even get a walk-in pass over at FOX at the moment, let alone a job there, so definitely not a studio employee. In short, and for those that regularly ask, ‘Monkey’ is a screenwriter and producer who has worked on films for the likes of Tom Cruise and Steve Buscemi. The reason he doesn’t wish to be disclosed? He just doesn’t fancy sharing a cell with John McTiernan.

You post your threads and I'll post mine. It's not an online article. Just go with the flow not everyone sleeps at this website and absorbs every post.

 

[WorthyStevens]

How has he seen it already...

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ If you read the first post he's a screen writer. He's proabably buddies with Zak Penn & Kinberg if he's not one of them. LOL

 

[LEX]

Lucky bastard.

 

[Specter313]

Well, he's only seen a snippet, and it's already been posted elsewhere, so, close thread.

I've never made a thread I think...

Anyway, nice to hear positivity

Really get a life wannabe mod.

Really get a life wannabe mod.

Yes, attack people. That will really keep your thread open.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Relax gentlemen.

Anyway, according to that quote, it seems he's seen the entire film, not just "a clip". And considering that we're 2 1/2 weeks out from the film's debut it's not entirely farfetched.

 

[The Batman]

at least it sounds good....

 

[Spidey 2007]

umm we need a review form this.....monkey fellow.

 

[Storm22]

AD you never actually posted what Monkey man or whatever said - he said something like it was really good and FX and other things are still being tweaked up to the 11th hour but Ratner's gonna surprise a lot of people. Liking the sound of that!

 

[jmao]

well... did he actually say anything about it?

 

[Advanced Dark]

If you read my first post and the link provided that's all I found. If you have something else post it. Obviously a couple of people have seen it before but several people haven't. I don't visit the online article thread to much and this is NOT an online article.

Actually it's clear the reader who asked the question in the mailbag saw "something" that led him to believe he saw it. I can't find that.

AD you never actually posted what Monkey man or whatever said, didn't he say something like it was really good and FX and other things are still being tweaked and Ratners gonna surprise a lot of people. Liking the sound of that!

what!?... WHAT?!?! we need more from this monkey.

Scroll to bottom of page to see this:

Note to Aussie "X-Men" fans!
Only a few weeks until it comes out! I can tell you, it's really good, you're going to happy with what Ratner serves up. He's tweaking it up until the 11th hour, to make sure it's as good as it can be too. He'll surprise quite a few of you. Meantime, check out the new Aussie "X-Men 3" site at xmenthelaststand.com.au.
