X3 is not a bad movie ... in fact, I quite enjoyed it!
It just could have been so much better ...
1. How can you properly tell the story of Phoenix without Scott Summers? 'Killing' him off so early was ridiculous and shows that the filmakers really have no concept of the characters and story they are trying to tell.
2. As has been discussed extensively elsewhere, this movie was far too short. Although the action scenes in the move are really good, there is almost no character development (other than the excellent beast) and an extra 30 minutes would have made this a much better watch.
3. Moira MacTaggert, Colossus, Angel - why bother! They get almost no screen time.
Hollywood just seems to be producing such mediocrity these days; do we really need big budget remakes of Dukes of Hazzard, Starsky and Hutch, or Miami Vice .. I dn't think so!
So enjoy the X3 for what it is, but it could have been so much better.
