Do you have complaints or worries about how certain things are being handled in X3? Post them here for discussion. All opinions are welcome and should be respected. --Lightning Strikez!
********************************
I just think that all of the problems with the movie will ultimately effect it greatly. Even after the great trailer, i still feel that this movie will turn out poor. Here are the main reasons
-I have never watched a movie by Ratner that i have really enjoyed, though i have not seen Red Dragon. But most of his movies dont get good reviews either.
-The running time is a big worry for me, with all this movie has to deal with, and all of the characters, i cant help but feel we are just going to get a dumb action fest with a few deaths. I mean look at Serenity, it had ten main characters, was 1hr 54 mins long, and still some characters had a lot less screen time than they deserved. So imagine what x3 will be like with a similar runtime.
-The deaths are another one, i wont go into them as everyone knows them
-The writers: I didnt know Kinberg wrote XXX2, Catwoman and Charlie's Angels 2, i've also heard Mr and Mrs Smith is only average. That three terrible movies hes written, along with having some involvment on the bad FF movie. Penn also wrote the terrible Elektra movie. Yes Penn was involved in X2, but he wasnt a writer, the story idea was his and thats it.
-The changes in Director have also been unsettling, I was gutted Singer left, and still am.
-The choice of story, it is just a re-hash of X2 with the Pheonix thrown in, judging from what i have seen so far. Even then it is same great Pheonix story from the cartoons, so many good parts of the story will be missed out on. I'm happy they havent included the Shi'ar. but a lot of good stuff they could have put in will be missing.
-The rushed production time. Fox did this with Fantastic Four, and look how that movie turned out, it wasnt the best, and i am getting the same vibe from X3. Fox is crap studio that just rushes out movies so they can make as much money as soon as possible. If it wasnt for Singer, we wouldnt be having any X-sequels. He made a good movie out of crap situation with the first one.
-The costumes also have me worried. I'll admit Juggarnaut has grown on me, as i thought it was bad at first but i am warming up to it. But i dont like the Beast costume at all, it has not convinced me in any way, shape or form so far. Even Mystique looks a little different IMO, and not in a good way. Some of the others dont look the best either.
Please people i am not trying to troll here, so dont jump on my back. I'm just worried that a movie about some of my all time favourite characters will turn out bad. IF the movie does turn out good come May 26th, i will eat humble pie with a big stupid smile on my face and be the happiest person ever.

It still in no way is a sign that the film is going to suck. It's been this way since the beginning (read my signature), and look how X1/X2 turned out? And how they (mostly X2) got critical praise? Brian helped build this franchise, but the quality of the franchise does not rest soley in Bryan's hands.
