[invincible mann]

enjoy DOD how many times have you seen it now?

 

[Bastila]

I want to see it again so much, might go this week again, seen it 3 times lol. I did like it, but i get sad.

 

[StreetWarrior]

I saw it Friday night and enjoyed it. I thought I was a great movie with some minor flaws (I'm kinda ticked about the character deaths) but I still thought it was good. Looking forward to seeing it again.

I've only seen it twice, but am planning on seeing it at least two more times!!!!!!!!! I started noticing different things the 2nd time cuz stuff goes by so fast, so the more I watch it I'm sure the more I will catch stuff I might've missed. That's why I love the pacing, it makes it more exciting. Plus, when you know what happens to Magneto at the end, when he says earlier "Never again shall a needle touch my skin," it makes the line more meaningful!!

 

[Angry Sentinel]

While we were driving home, all we talked about were the ******ed plot mistakes, horrendous music, s***-ass direction, almost defiant inadherance to the comicbook mythology...and then we'd relax and say, "But MAN, it ROCKED!"

I was super-aware of the flaws, but*shrug* I guess I wasn't a big enough fan of the comics because I turned into a 13 year old kid and shrieked like a moron when Beast attacked and involuntarily, yes, audibly, exclaimed "THAT'S THE BEAST!!!!!"
And fuh-WHOAH! inTENSE Wolverine stuff.
I also liked the fact that the crap ass score got sad when they "robbed" Magneto of his powers.

The deaths were the WORST, "I'm Juggernaut, *****!" was the worst, the short shrift given to such worthy characters ( Angel? Colossus?....CYCLOPS?!?!? Gah! )

But, maybe it was because I saw it after reading all of the "Ratner raped my Mom" - Reviews here, Sorry, it got enough right to make me very happy.

There was actually a moment where I said, "F***. I know I'll be buying this DVD!"


For me though, I think a huge part of my conflicted but strong love for the movie comes from the fact that I was way more into the art in comicbooks than the wannabe Shakespearean/Soap Opera stuff.

I'm in a stupor when I see comicbook panels effectively "brought to life", and...
I don't want to make it sound like I only enjoyed the action, because I thought it had some really superb character stuff as well, but Whoah!

I loved when Pyro said he'd've killed Xavier, and even though they ended up enemies, Ian was just like, "****, you don't know wtf you're talking about. He was a great man."
And even though we were giggling our asses off after Logan "killed"(can anyone really be killed in X-Men 3?) Jean ('cause of the...I can't believe they did it..."NoooOOOOOooOOOooOOOoOO!!!!" bird's-eye-view shot), I still knew that if I'd been watching it alone in my room it would've broken my dork-heart.

There was so much that was egregiously stupid about it, but I didn't care. Kind of like, when you're in love with a girl, deep, true, profound, inescapable love......but she farts in her sleep and likes Green Day and nags you when you try to get on the Hype.

It's still a good thing. I liked it.




SUPER bad-ass action scenes.
And that's a GOOD thing, yo.

(and believe me, after 3 or 5 minutes of raving about the intense effects and fight scenes, we're not stupid, we did always come back to, "Yeah, but imagine if it had had stuff like that, WITH a decent director and screenplay!")

But, yeah, I guess I'm a bigger Fantastic Four zombie than X-Men zombie, 'cause despite it's flaws, I thought it rocked ass and enjoyed it like crazy. Not just the fights, but several lip-twitches by Ian and Paquin, many details, like Mystique flailing and paying back Magneto, and.......f***, a hundred things.








But really, Ram-Man has got to go.

Who designed that helmet?
They shouldn't be fired, they should be shot.

I have to say, it's 'uncanny' how much I agree with Wilhelm... I know exactly why I don't like certain aspects and exactly what part of me loves the rest. truly LMAO!

yeah when i saw it again i saw thing i had not seen and found it the second time more sad and third time i liked it alot didn't get as sad though.

 

[Son Of Logan]

yeah when i saw it again i saw thing i had not seen and found it the second time more sad and third time i liked it alot didn't get as sad though.

When I saw it the second time I still almost cried when Professor X died...even though I already knew he wasn't dead.

 

[Bastila]

When I saw it the second time I still almost cried when Professor X died...even though I already knew he wasn't dead.

me to it wasn't as bad but when Jean died and Jean Scott saw it eacher i got like sad, but i had a tear for Jean when Logan stabbed her.

 

[PhoenixRisen]

yeah when i saw it again i saw thing i had not seen and found it the second time more sad and third time i liked it alot didn't get as sad though.

And when I first saw it I thought the music was too much during the Phoenix parts but now I LOVE it and her theme is playing in my head all the time now!!
(Dah dah daaah, dah...day dah day, la da de da DAY...Dah dah DAHHHH dah, de la da, de la da da da!! <--that's what plays in my head!!)

I don't know but I intend to find out!! I was gonna buy the soundtrack from iMusic but there are like 24 songs on there so I figured the actual CD would be wiser choice.

 

[xwolverine2]

His Movie gets worse with each Movie dont get me started

they deteriorate with more money

 

[Tony Stark]

The best thing about the movie was the Ghost Rider preview.

yeah as then you get the case and there might be pictures in it lol.

 

[kingart4]

This may be a hit-and-run post as I don't get a chance to do this stuff much. But I was totally shocked by the overwhelming amount of negative comments! I thought this movie was awesome! Sure it had flaws, but all movies do because you're never going to please everyone all the time. Especially in a 3 hour time limit. But here's my take.

Cyclops – First, I’ve thought through all three movies he was a week character. Cyclops is a natural leader. He’s the type that calls for a charge into a hopeless situation and you eagerly follow him. This character might be a good leader of a frat house, but just doesn’t have the commanding presence and charisma of the comic book Cyclops. So I didn’t really miss him.

However, one big complaint I keep hearing is about his lame death so early on. But who says he died? We never saw him die, we never saw him dead. We saw his glasses, that’s it. Maybe he’s knocked out, imprisoned, temporarily powerless and wandering in Canada, sulking because he realized Jean was still dead and it was the Phoenix in her place? But dead? Who says he’s dead??

Jean/Phoenix – I’ve heard complaints how the Phoenix story line was undeveloped and needed more background. First, there is only so much character development you can do in the time allotted. A movie with one super hero can spend more time. But if you tried to develop the background on each of 15 different characters, you wouldn’t have a movie at all.

Second, what more is needed? She is found exactly as she was left in X2. The story picks up right where it left off and we find out more and more about her as she and the other mutants find out more. What’s the problem?

Rogue – Sure she is underused. But no more so than in previous movies. Besides, she’s not very interesting until she gains the rest of her powers. In fact, the way she is left in X3 leaves a perfect opening for her to gain the rest of her powers. Think of this.

In the comics, she is on Magneto’s side and steals her powers by killing Ms Marvel (think that’s who). To recreate this here, they have to turn her evil, have her kill Ms. Marvel, then turn good again. Whereas now I can see her still around the mansion, she gets jealous and is consoled by another student. Oh say, Ms Marvel. And as we saw with Magneto, the “cure” isn’t permanent, her powers reappear and she absorbs her powers. Wallah, a fully functional, full power Rogue who didn’t have to turn evil or use her powers in any “immoral” way to gain her full potential.

Iceman – The first complaint was that he was under utilized and I agree. But to have him used to his potential and be as cool as he could be, we’d either have to take more away from another under utilized character, have less character development or have a 4-5 hour movie. I’d love to have seen more of all the mutants, but reality has to come in as well.

The other complaint I have heard is he isn’t funny enough. He’s a kid in a messed up relationship and a war to save his life and the lives of all his friends. Maybe he’d be funnier if he had a chance! I mean he has broken the rules in at least 2 of the 3 movies. So he’s definitely got the potential, give him a chance. Again, make the movie an hour or two longer so we can see him in a normal circumstance and he may be quite the jokster!

Beast – The first complaint again was too little time (at least outside of political time). And again, we are still bound by time constraints. I’ve also heard that it should have been a long-standing character from the movies to take out Magneto. Why?

First, the way Magneto is removed IS by setting him up using Wolverine in a way we’ve seen in both movies. It’s the perfect setup and the only other character that could have pulled it off would have been Nightcrawler who wasn’t in this movie. The others are too slow and would have been sensed.

Nightcrawler – Yeah, he wasn’t in the movie, but neither was Bishop, Gambit, Havoc, Cable……

Storm – I’ve heard the complaint that she shouldn’t have been given such a leadership role that others deserved more. Who? Definitely not Wolverine. He’s too much of a loaner who doesn’t play by rules. Cyclops? Again, no charisma. Besides, in the comics, Storm does lead one of the teams. She’s an awesome choice!

Kitty – Another one that is said didn’t have enough development. That one I’m stumped on. What other mutant was not a main character but in all three movies?? And heck, she had one big scene where she single-handedly took on and took out Juggernaught. What more do you want? Especially from one with such limited powers?

Angel - Another one that is said didn’t have enough development. Again, how long of a movie is realistic? He’s not yet a member of the Xmen. Its not like they’d just throw a stranger into a uniform and hope they’d know what to do and how to act as a part of a fighting team…

Colossus – Yet another one that people complain didn’t have enough time. Same issue as all the rest.

Prof X – The complaint there is they shouldn’t have killed him. The problem with the complaint is if you stuck around until after the credits, you see that he is not dead.

Magneto – About the only one I haven’t heard complaints about. Yet I think he is too frail. Awesome actor, but far too frail. There are many people who are old and not frail but still very strong and fit. So I’m torn on him.

The only complaint I have heard about Magneto is how cold he was to Mystique when she was “cured”. Well, he’s Magneto. Did you really expect compassion? THAT would have been out of character.

Mystique – The complaints I’ve read are she shouldn’t have been “cured”. First, why not? Someone had to be. Plus, this fit right in with her “betrayal” which turned out to only be a distraction which helped Magneto. So it actually allowed her to further help out the Brotherhood’s plans. Besides, if the cure isn’t permanent as hinted at, she’ll be back.

Other bad guys – The only other complaints I’ve heard were again air/development time. Again, I’d love another 2 hours to the movie. Most wouldn’t…

Other general complaints I’ve heard are in general, too little development of individual characters. But at the same time, complaints of too little screen time for other characters. Without going to a 4 or 5 hour movie, to get more character development, it would take away more screen/action time for each character. To get more screen/action time for each character, it would take away more development time for each character. I think for a three hour movie, it was a good mix.

Finally, its been suggested that this was a terrible way to end the series. Regardless of the rumors, I cannot see this as the last. It ends with too many cliffhangers. Does Magneto get his powers back? Is Professor X really still alive? How does he answer is “moral” question he asked at the beginning? If Magneto is regaining his powers, does everyone else? Did Mystique betray Magneto or was it all part of the plan? Does Rogue get to stay even though she’s not a mutant? Can Iceman now transform or is he stuck? WAY too many questions for there not to be a sequel. There may be a Wolverine movie or more in-between, but I’d highly doubt a movie company would abandon such a money maker.

All in all, I loved X3! If movies weren’t so dang expensive, I’d have seen it twice already! But believe me, I’ll be buying it the day it comes out!

I have to say, I thought the teaser trailer made the movie look really bad, but this new trailer makes the movie look promising.

And to respond to Kingart4:

I felt that Mystique shouldnt have lost her powers. Besdies Magneto, she was the most consistent villian in the series. Yeah it lead to the betraytal but, for no reason because the soldiers went to the brotherhood camp to find what? Multiple Man? It really didnt amount to anything.

I loved the movie, dont get me wrong. I believe the short running time lead to bad pacing. Other than that, great movie.

 

[LongDong]

I'm sorry you feel ticked off but sheesh... it was just a joke!

No, I don't think you understand my point! It was a lighthearted joke. I really didn't mean anything this time, and I have no intention to come here to bash the movie. I know this is a sanctuary for you people. Sorry.[/quote]


Right...


Anyway.

This is my fave:

But I do know that somewhere that the good Jean is in there and she's struggling/fighting the Phoenix within herself.

Maybe I am sick and wrong but my god she looks freakin HOT right there.

 

[LongDong]

There wa sone jackass X2 supporter who said I was "wrong" for not liking that movie as it made a ton of money so more people liked i than disliked it, so it made me wrong. He also bashed X3 as being a crapfest, well by his logic what does that say about him? X3 is on pace to blow X2 out of the water with ease moneywise.

 

[PowersOfMind]

I thought the movie pace was good. Just when you thought there might be too much talking... oh oh ACTION!! Little more plot development... ohh ohh ACTION!!!
I dont understadnwhat the big deal is about Cyclops? I just dont. Please some one tell me.

 

[iceberg325]

Just picture if cyclops were in the last battle at alcatraz. It would have been crazy!!! Imagine nightcrawler also. wow!!!!!

 

[GhostPoet]

I loved this film just as much as X2...also, Scott is NOT dead. They never say so in the movie. Jean was confused when Logan asked what happened to scott, she never SAID she killed him...Logan ASSUMED she did.

 

[PowersOfMind]

But Jean said "stop me before I kill somebody else" to Wolverine when they were in the lab. And how would he have survived what she would have done to him.
Not that it cant happen becuse this is a movie with people who can levitate bridges and such. There would just have to be a good explaination for his survival. After all his abilities are offensive not defensive.
