X3 Spoilers And Thoughts

Got to see it last night due to some “connections”. Wasn’t expecting much going in, so I wasn’t insanely excited.

I loved it. It was better than the first two. It was sad that they gave Angel and Cyclops personality in a few minutes, whereas poor James Marsden had nothing for the first 2, excepting a tiny sliver. Now he’s been transported to another Singer movie, poor chap. I knew his death was coming, the trailers made it obvious. However, the death of the Professor was a huge shock, but it worked from a storytelling POV. Everyone in this movie stepped up and did a really good job, including Halle Berry. This was by far the most “comic-booky” of the series, and that’s what it needed: no more deep philosophical debates or blatant metaphors, just some good action. If you’re unhappy because it wasn’t anything like the books, tough. This is a seperate yet equal universe, with its own version of characters, just like the Ultimate line.

So, in summation: Was Angel useless? Except for a disturbing part at the beginning, yes. But he has a useless power, and Nightcrawler in the second was the same way, with a badass intro but nothing else.

Was the plot excellent? Yes, better than the first. No slowdown, many great moments, and not too much talky.

Did I roll my eyes? Once that I remember. Same as the others.

You disagree? Fine. But go see it, then decide.

Rather than re-type my thoughts on the movie (which, it would appear, are the polar opposite of yours), I direct you to my already open thread on the subject

Well, poop. I saw that one but I didn’t know it was about the movie from the title. Sorry. I’ll have them close this one and I’ll move my post.

Closed at the request of the OP.

Damn, you’re fast.
