It's been panned by a lot of critics and viewers for getting AWAY from the character development and moral ambiguities of the rest of the series and basically turning it into more or less a straight action movie.

It's because Singer decided to do Superman Returns instead, leaving Ratner to direct. And Ratner is NO Singer.

I'll still go see X3, but I'm expecting it to be less grand than X2.

Also, just because they incorporate ideas from the internet doesn't make them good. For instance, the inclusion of goatse could really bring down a movie quite easily.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I think it'll be a fun movie. I'm just not expecting to be, say, that intellectually stimulated. (X2 actually, say, activated one or two of my brain cells.)

[Innockcroff]

Interesting. Everybody, please tell me more about your hopes for an intellectual and thought-provoking movie about "genetic mutations" that let you teleport, turn intangible, control the weather and shoot laser beams from your eyeballs. This should be good...

Not that I'm ragging on the movie (haven't seen it, probably won't till it hits DVD), but the premise is a little too absurd to make into more than a fun action flick. Which is all I expect from it.

X-Men 3 was the worst of them all. No character development, nothing done with the Phoenix, etc. Shoddy.

Spoiler: There is a powerful scene where a young Angel is trying to slice off his wings before his father sees them. Far deeper than the cheesy "have you tried not being a mutant" from X2. The dynamic between Angel and his father was very well done.

The ethical implications of the cure were very well developed in the film and posed many questions to us.

Also the implications of massive power were made a point of in the movie and well done. Especially in the light of Phoenix's emergence. The whole dynamic of Phoenix with what Professor X did to her to control her darker side and surpress her powers raised even more ethical questions. There were some good exchanges between Xavier & Magneto, and Xavier & Wolverine about his handling of Jean.

Just like X2, X3 leaves us in a murky gray area where there is no black & white good vs. evil set-up like most Hollywood movies. We see darker methods from the "good guys" and noble goals from the "bad guys".

The choice Rogue had of taking the cure so she could live a normal live - while not developed as well as it could have been, like Verto said - I think was still thought provoking and for as much of it as was included, was well done.

To get away from the childish thing, a more mature response might be helpful. He made a personal attack and I responded in kind. Considering he made an entirely unnecessary and biting personal attack for no reason whatsoever except to insult me for expressing my opinion my response was more than justified. Things would have definitely gotten heated if he had the balls to say that **** to my face. An appropriate response would have him walking away with a black eye.

About the 'spat', Overreact much?

[Tam04xa]

I liked it.

character development is nice, but since X-Men is not something I am interested in, I prefer to just see the action and see main characters get killed.

Character Development I reserve for Superman.

Half the time I wish Superman would fly down and kick those mutants arses; which of course he could do without any of them even realising it before he's done it. hahaha!

And yes, the crowed "wow'd" at the bullet hitting supermans eye during the previews. Chills.

[lkastonidwedsrer]

Going to see it in a few minutes. I'll post my thoughts later.

[Katrinsitter]

i think ozzy is just offended because he fights for child's rights and i called him a child. but why would that be offensive to him, if children are entitled to the same rights as adults?

either way, punching me for calling you a child is awesome! next time you come to seattle lets strap the gloves on and go a few rounds.

[lidya-sggf]

Spoiler: The use of the fastball special and the Danger Room satisfied my inner geek.

[neerewed]

Don't be silly. I've seen Imran. He doesn't wear rags on his head.

[sonsayx]

I reiterate, overreact much?

Who the Hell gets all puffy about being called 'child' and amused by 'childish things'?

[yovbQVpD]

I"M TEH JUGGERNAUT *****





how can that be a childish thing if it has profanity?

Would it be less childish if it were in a British accent?

Personally, I think the Juggernaut thing is just funny... if young people find it funny, they have good taste. People who don't find it funny don't have a good sense of humor.

Also, watching Ozzy get all pissed off about being called a child is also HIGHlarious.
