Jeff Wells posted this on Hollywood Elsewhere this morning:

It's been revealed here and there that Brett Ratner's X-Men 3: The Last Stand (20th Century Fox, 5.26), which will show at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, 5.22, is quite violent. I learned a bit more last night upon speaking to a European exhibitor source who said he's seen it, and that the final violent sequence at the end is a bit reminiscent of the finale of Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch (1969). It also resembles that western classic in the sense that two or three "good guys" -- i.e, mutant heroes -- buy the farm. Obviously we're not speaking of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, who may return in a film of his own down the line. The guy wouldn't tell me who buys it and I didn't want to know anyway.

I wish I was him, not knowing jack about the film going into it.

>>>The biggest hype around town seems to be for "X-Men: The Last Stand" -- not only have they decorated the Croisette with individual character flagpole banners, they've also got a huge marquee directly across from the Palais de Festival, detailing each of your favorite mutants "stand"-ing in their ranks.

Wow. Fox, Marvel, and even some of us fans are going to have so much egg on our faces if this movie isn't that good. Fox is parading it around like a piece of Spielberg's fecal matter on a silver platter. Which, mind you, would be a highly respected piece of crap among the film elite.

Could you see why the reviews were bad though. There must be some basis to poor critical reviews.

 

[Storm22]

I think a lot of critics thought it was too long and dull.
