Saw it last night, it's OK, but probably the worst of the three movies. Overall it was still pretty good, and most of my quibbles are fan-boy...

Good stuff:
The Danger Room Scene (very reminiscent of 'Days of Future Past')
Wolvie in general - especially the fight with the Spyke/Marrow-style stooge
Kitty Pryde is ace, nice pink flashes on her uniform
Storm's powers have been max-ed out, she does ace stuff
Multiple Man's ruse
The adjustment of the the Dark Pheonix storyline is interesting
Iceman's groovey ice form
Beast was ace. Nice 619...and he says "Oh my stars and garters"
Magneto moving the Golden Gate Bridge was ace
*affects ridulous Scottish accent* Moira Mactaggert fae Muir Island

I repeat - SPOILERS...







Bad Stuff:
Prof X and Cyclops BOTH get killed off in the first half hour. Cyclop, IMO, is pretty integral to the X-Men, and you don't even get to see him die.
Juggernaut was SHIT SHIT SHIT
No Gambit
Rogue did fuck all
Colossus did fuck all
Mystique did fuck all
Angel did fuck all
Much more could've been made of Prof X's manipulation of Jean Grey's powers
Why make up characters for the film when there are literally thousands of minor villains to pick from the books?
Juggernaut is not a mutant, his powers come from the Cyttorak crystal - why did Leech's powers affect him?
No Juggernaut Vs Colossus fight!?
No Nightcrawler

That was me /\

She hadn't logged oot....

oh, i actually thought i was the best of the three movies.

i agree it was weird how little angel did, when he was introduced he seemed like he'd be a fairly important character.

[Demon Of The Fall]

load of crap. skimmed over things. none of the main characters did anything relavent. utter pish

Well....I ENJOYED IT. I'm not a huge reader of the comics, although I could catch up over Summer..but even then I thought this was good. Obviously there were a few scenes that made me groan, so here is a plus and minus points list.

PLUS POINTS

*The Comedy Moments - 'I'M THE JAUGGERNAUT BITCH!!'

*Storm kicking everyones ass with lightning

*Magneto

*Bobby turning into the Ice-Man proper. Take that and shove it up your fancy lighter sleeve Pyro

*Killing off Cyclops five minutes in. Scott Marsden buggs the fuck out of me

*The pure 'OMFG' scariness of The Phoenix in full RAGE mode, especially when she obliterates the Professors body.

*BEAST! He was ace!!



MINUS POINTS

*Bobby and Kitty skating on the pond, barforama.

*The schmaltzy ending going on five minutes longer than it needed to when it should have ended with Wolverine clutching Jean's dead body.

*Magento/Mystique/Rogue (three of my favourite X-Men no doubt) being cured.

*Some of the dialogue was on par with Storm's toad/lightning scene from the first move.

*The fact that there were some scenes being played purely for the emotion that just didn't work in the hands of Brett Ratner.



Overall, a pretty good movie, not a touch on X-Men 2 which it could have been if Singer had remained in charge. Alas, it is a 3 star movie in the hands of Ratner. It's really enjoyable, but there's a slight twinge of ''this could have been a thousand times better than X-2 if Fox hadn't fucked up''.

I read a really bad review of it today, it said that it lacked everything that made the first 2 good. It's quite odd how many characters appear to have minor roels in the film.

I went for a piss at that bit. I was perhaps a bit harsh, I will be going to see it again for sure, I've FUCKING LOVED The X-Men for 16 years now, some bits just fucked me off though.

i agree with most of the 1st post, even pointed out to my mates about the Juggernaut not being a mutant bit.

did everyone stay right til the end of the credits?

[Afro Droid]

No, what happened?

[John C]

you know when prof x is teaching in the classroom and asks the students, whether it would be wrong to operate on the brain dead man in moira's lab? well at the end you see moira walking over to the person and prof x says "hello moira"

did you notice magneto slightly moving the chess piece with his powers at the end aswell?
