Now that you've seen it, how would you say X3 measures against the first two films?

[hypefan003]

I'm going to see it later on, but for those of you have seen it, how would you measure it against the first two films in the trilogy?

 

[xwolverine2]

its a trilogy... i enjoyed x3 the most though.

i think i like them all equally(x1 not as much as the last two)...

sort of like the killbill movies

[Patch/wolverine]

I don't know if I liked it to be honest. Its definately not as good as X2! I suppose its better than X1 as said before due to its action, but I think it could have been better. It threw me a bit, i need to see it again lol.

 

[PikaZeroX]

Worst of the 3.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Better than 1, not quite as good as 2.

 

[PWN3R]

Actiond wise? Better than X1 or X2.

Story wise? No where near X2! Better than X1 IMO.

Magneto was at his best in this film though, and that made it good for me. And his speech on television was awesome! Ultimate Magneto!

 

[hypefan003]

I'm surprised most of the responses to the poll are that this film is the worst of the 3

 

[Avalanche]

There were moments that were better than anything in X1 or X2, but overall, the previous films had better character development.

 

[*xmenfan*]

I hated this soo worst of the 3!
X2,X1 and X3.
X3 is in one of my top 10 hated films

 

[GhostPoet]

X3 easily blows the other two X-men films out of the water. No doubt about it.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Better than X1, but not quite as good as X2. Still very very enjoyable, fun, and damn good film though.

No character development. No heart. No story. My ass. It's just subtle.. It's not as in your face as Singer would have done it.

 

[Wolverini]

X2 - X3 - X1

 

[taintedFB]

This is such a difficult decision. X3 had some great moments.

But bad dialogue and poor treatment of core characters was just too much for it to overcome.

You have to admit there was a little too much humor in this one and there were alot of corny lines.

Having read a lot of X-men comics I knew some stuff in there wasn’t going to translate to the big screen so I was not disappointed when the third movie didn’t follow the comics exactly (I never expect this anyway.) The point is that you need to maintain at least the essence of X-men, which I feel wasn’t accomplished.

At the least the movie needed more screen time, especially with the story of the Dark Phoenix. I wasn’t expecting her to wake up and blow up a planet, like in the comics. I wasn’t expecting the whole cosmic force of the Omegas to be explained. But after the classic line “I don’t know” it just went *bamph* I think I feel like killing Cyclops *bamph* why not the professor too? I had to look at my ticket and make sure I wasn’t in a remake of Carrie. This is not about what happened in the comics, it’s the fact that their version of the Dark Phoenix needed to make sense, needed more screen time, needed to be more than a sub-plot.

Fearing that I’ll be just restating what most people have said I’ll say this: everyone had a different experience. I went in with the expectation that this movie was going to great and left thinking it could have been. Yes it’s a “war” but who cares about who lives or dies if you have no emotional attachment to them. And I’m not talking about Xavier or Cyclops (why the heck did they kill off a main character of X-men?). I’m talking about Callisto, Arclight and Quill. What was the purpose of that? Who cares if Dark Phoenix, Juggernaut, Colossus, Angel, etc are in the movie if all they are doing is cussing or flying around?

Others I’m sure enjoyed it because it had a lot of action compared to the other movies. But I’ll just say that for me personally, this better be the last because it is heading in the direction that the Batman industry had gone. Too many characters, no one knew what the hell was going on, bat nipples…need I say more?

SO
Great Action film
Terrible Superhero film
You are all welcome to your opinions.

No heart?? Were we watching the same movie? eh?

 

[CapBeerCino]

worst

 

[fallenAngel]

I can't really see myself watching this movie over and over again like the others. Unless perhaps there is a very good follow up that eases the pain.

Since they messed with the material so much, I atleast wanted some conviction and confidence in the story telling. Everything felt embarrased and half assed.

easily the worst.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

Worst of the 3

 

[TheVileOne]

Worst of the 3 easily.

It doesn't touch X-men 2 at all.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Im stuck on it being better then X-2 or not as good..I think its just that people had so many hopes for this movie that it would be SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD and then when they saw it, it was kinda a let down..thats why i went into the movie thinking it was going to be bad and it turned out to be great.

 

[Calendar Man]

I went for the fourth option. I'm different like that.

 

[Goddessreicho]

I actually stayed awake this time, unlike in X2. The first time I saw it I took a 40min snooze and I realized that I missed...........NOTHING!

The first movie wowed me with its realism..then pissed me off to no other end with its lack of character backrounds. (Now you all know the only people who had any time dedicated to them were Wolvie and Rogue.) Non- comic readers I know who saw it were like, "How did the school start", and "aren't they sosposed to be really powerful?"

So yeah...Singer...I have no positive thoughts on that man. Except thanks for droppin out on X3. Now people now that Storm can "control her powers like that"

Ratner...needs to desperatly learn how to pace a movie, show better transistions from scene to scene, and how to slow down on the emotional stuff. But I think that this is his best film. Is that a good thing, I dunno. I'm still on the fence.

 

[Heretic]

It is the worst of the three.

The movie may be more fun than X1, due to that movies slowness and lack of any major scope...but this movie downright insults X-fans, which negates ANY quality of the action scenes.

 

[Banshee]

I thought it was terrible. It felt like they were rushing from one scene to the next, skippign the character development that made the fist two so good, and some terrible diologue. There were parts I liked, like a lot of the action, but action can't carry a movie.

Also it doesn't help that they killed Cyclops in a story based around dark phoenix. I can accept a lot of changes from comic to film, its a given and most of the time necissary, but not that.
