Also, there haven't really been any "thirds" since the comic book movie genre got it's rebirth, through
X-Men, I'll have you know.
The only "third" since
Batman Forever was
Blade Trinity, and you really can't blame
Blade Trinity for being a bad movie, because well,
Blade 2 did a damn good job of ruining a great thing,
Blade Trinity didn't have to come along to do that (Guerimo Del Toro is the worst director on the face of the planet, I hate this guy. He ruins a totally awesome movie with
Blade by making
Blade 2, and
Hellboy was a worthless piece of **** too. You all complain about Ratner, just be thankful that it's not Del Toro that we have. -THAT- would be the ruining of this franchise).
X-Men 3 is going to be the first "real" 3rd (I say real, because again, the Blade franchise was already ruined by
Blade 2 by the time
Blade Trinity came out.
X2 was quite the opposite) since the comic book movie genre has been ressurected. And if some of the recent 3rds are any indication (
Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban,
Revenge of the Sith,
Return of the King,
Matrix Revolutions - A lot of people will say this sucked... but most of those people hated
Matrix Reloaded also, so that means
Revolutions didn't really ruin it... but
Matrix Revolutions was pretty much as good as
Matrix Reloaded at least in tone, and in my opinion, a good movie anyways), on top of the fact that all failed thirds are unneccesary (
Terminator 3,
Jurassic Park 3, etc...), I'm not too worried about this movie. I don't hate Ratner either, so that helps.
Only one thing I'm worried about, and I've complained enough about that in other threads, I don't need to bring it here too
