LastSunrise, I haven't disagreed with you that much but that was uncalled for.
What was uncalled for? I told the truth. Just because I don't sugarcoat anything doesn't mean I'm a prick. He has his opinion and that is fine, but he needs to accept that some fans don't like this film at all.
He needs to accept the reality that this is an Internet Message Forum. No one is going to fall on their knees and worship X3, and then blindly support it when they know it could've been better.
You call it uncalled for, I call it the truth. Don't like it? Too bad.
@NateGray- I know A LOT of fans who HATE Superman Returns. Those same fans and same people respect my opinion, and I respect their opinion. The only difference is they're not insulting anyone who enjoys the film. They're not saying, "those who like the film are losers and don't have good taste", or "those who love the film blindly support it".
They offer intelligent reasons for their dislike of it, and some of their opinions/feelings I agree with actually. Those same fans aren't going to accept a mediocre film as an ending to a trilogy. Which is why I respect them a hell of a lot more than some fans here.
Some fans enjoyed X1/X2 because it concentrated more on the emotional character stories. Some of the changes and flaws didn't ruin or change the film in a major way, you know? Whereas this film took what was unique and awesome about The Phoenix Saga, X1/X2 and just defecated on a masterpiece of a story.
I don't understand how some "true" X-Men fans can just sit here and accept that Fox did. How can you just sit back and say, "oh big deal, they killed Cyclops, Jean, Xavier, cured Rogue, and so on and so forth". This story was to be the story that focused on Jean/Cyclops(which Singer promised the fans after X2's success).
So as fans of the source material we're supposed to sit back and let Fox spit in our face? No. I've never been one to accept mediocre material, and I'm not about to start today.
I know some fans enjoyed X3. My girlfriend loved it, her sister enjoyed it, the majority of my friends in real life enjoyed it, and quite a few people I know on the SHH! enjoyed it. I don't insult them nor feel the need to look down on them for their own opinion. I think they present their opinions in a different manner to be honest. They don't come off as elitists, snobs, or blindly support a film and call those who don't enjoy it "Fake superhero fans."
Nell says we take the film too seriously, yet he has a counter under his name that states he saw it seven times. So we can't take it seriously, but he can?
THIS is what should've happened in the film.
