I thought X3 was a better X-Men movie then X1 and X2. I thought X2 was a better movie focused basically on Wolverine.
X1 doesn't even come close to X2 or X3. I'm sorry but anyone who says the characters in that weren't one dimensional are just....well everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I have to say you'd be flat out wrong.
Wolverine, in X1 one of the main characters, was little more then a tough guy act, and Storm, Cyclops, hell basically everyone aside from Rouge or Magneto were one dimensional characters and many of the main characters were never used. Sure X3 had characters like that, but the impressive thing to me was that they had double the amount of characters as the first two movies, and still only had a few characters that were very one dimensional.
X1 and X2 had five or six main characters tops, they had no excuse to have any of their characters be one dimensional, yet they still did, Because they focused mostly on Wolverine. Which I didn't mind since he's my favorite character, but don't act like X1 and X2 didn't misuse characters too.
