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

[CapBeerCino]

That and the rest of the Danger Room were actually one of the worst parts in the movie.

I agree.

 

[invincible mann]

yes we saw the sentinel head
where was the rest of it ?

 

[Tony Stark]

X3 had its moments but I was still dissappointed with it overall. It just seemed to move along too quickly from one scene to the next. There was no time too process the dramatic events occuring. What bothered me about Cyclop's demise was that bascially no one seemed to care except Wolverine. Angel had such a ridiculously small part that my friends and I actually laughed about it later. Colossus was just there to help Wolverine with the fastball special. The epic war just came across like a big battle. Alot of the mutants in the last battle looked really stupid. I don't where they found all the hopping mutants, but all they seemed to do was hop and get cured. Also Magneto could completly own Wolverine. So what does he do when Wolverine is barking orders and stabbing multiple people from Magneto's side? He just stands there and lets it happen!

You hit the nail on the head. This was one of the poorest edited films, I've seen in a long time. It's just a bunch of fanboy orgasm moments strung together.

Lack of imagination for what. That film had less imagination than the man in the persistent vegatative state on the television in the X3. The characters DID NOTHING, they acted with abandon with no reason behind their actions, you know like good movies have.

yeah, right, and you're an award winning director.

 

[Whack Arnolds]

X3 was good.

 

[Prognosticator]

It's way F@#$%ING better than X1, that's for damn sure!!! It's a real toss with X2, and again, I've only seen it once so I don't know about it's staying power! But it was a powerful theater experience, as was X2. X2 is longer, which is a HUGE plus. But i figured something out after X3 which may give it an advantage. It doesn't have Bryan Singer screwing up the action scenes by trying to recreate The Matrix!!! Cheers to Brett Ratner for fixing the X-franchise's inability to obey the laws of GRAVITY!!! That may be the deciding factor for me...at least, it is today!

The thing X3 needed most was Bryan Singer in the director's chair. He knows how to create an emotional flow for the audience to track with. He understands how to reveal the characters and their issues in an interesting way. He knows how to bring out conflict in the way that it creates the maximum dramatic impact in the story. In short, Singer is a much better story-teller than Ratner.

The shame of it all is that X3 had some really good themes to explore, some great storylines that just weren't developed properly. It turned out to be more of just an action flick. I agree with someone up in the thread who said it had its moments, but it just kind of rushed from one action sequence to the next. It could've been a great film, but unfortunately, it wasn't.

Couldn't agree with you more!

 

[borinquenknight]

It's not worse than Elektra but considering the films that came before it, it feels worse than Elektra because of the potential that it had with its ideas and characters.

Well said. It did have great potential and because of this it can be considered one of Fox's worst "Marvel" failures.

 

[Latin_Princess1]

I Just Saw X3 I Think It Was The Best Movie Of X1 & X2 I Dunno It Had Alot Of Action...at First I Thought It Was Goin To Stink But It Turned Out Great! N They Leave U Guessin Alot

 

[b_boy]

Worst of the three..... crap crap crap.....

 

[lordofthenerds]

The worst of the trilogy. Not saying that the movie was bad, just that the other movies were better.

 

[co2]

The reasons X3 is doing so well at the box office is because of the first two films. People enjoyed those and want to see how it plays out. It will take a big drop next weekend.

 

[britrogue]

The storyline was by far the best
