it was pretty crowded at 5:30 here.... with it showing on 2 screens.... and this town.... i expect it'll be a pretty massive this weekend.

I didn't like it. It was much better than I thought, but I wasn't expecting much after the first 2 movies. They weren't that good either.

shut yo mouth!

Saw it a few hours ago. Wasn't expecting much from Ratner, but I was pleasantly surprised. Still didn't like Juggernaut. MFer should've been Hulk-size, and he didn't even fight Colossus.

The best of the 3 so far, but I'm no expert. I really liked it.

I didn't expect much, but Ratner BROUGHT IT! I was definitely proud of him!

This film definitely isn't the (slightly more) cerebral character study composite that the first two flicks were, and I think this was appropriate. This movie is pretty much a summer ACTION flick -- and a decent one.

Lots of special effects, but they didn't overtake the movie. And only a few -- like Angel's fake-looking wings and a couple of the "flight" scenes -- were hokey.

My biggest complaints were a conspicuously hurried paced, too many underdeveloped scenes and the introduction of more mutants than camera time could accommodate (I'm WAY sour about Psylock and Multiple Man's wasted parts ), but a fun, satisfying ending to the trilogy.


...Oh, one more complaint... Xavier comes off as an arrogant, condescending jerk in many scenes, rather than the conscientious mentor of the previous two flicks.

i thought this was the best of the three--mo action, mo action and mo action!
i hope everybody stayed until AFTER the credits for why this MIGHT not be the last X-Movie

...And, oh yeah, I definitely respected Jean Grey after that scene at her crib. I thought it was gonna be stupid, but

also, is it just me, or when they got to alcatraz it was daytime, then it was suddenly night time?

...And did you notice the last Magneto scene... in the park?

meltwithu said:

Yeah, that was wack. And WAY too big a mistake not to have been caught.

Oh... and did you see how GANGSTA Calisto and Arclight were? The way Calisto was kicking Storm's butt; the way Arclight stepped up pimp-style when Magneto called on her!?!?

Those gals were taking it to the STREET!

Lammastide said:

yup

good stuff. i'm a moviegoer only, and don't the story, so it was a great ride for me.

I agree that this was the most action-packed of the three, but I also thought it had the most emotional content. A nice balance.

1. the ending was powerful
2. a lot of killing on both sides
3. this pg-13 rating was much closer to "r" than the other two flicks
4. did you catch the stan lee cameo?

Lammastide said:

yeah, well, they finally got him right then

he's equally both parts in the comics.

meltwithu said:

chris claremont was in the same scene

Evidently I have a lot to add to this thread.

Don't mind me.

okay, i just saw it for the second time.


my personal top 10 X3 moments: (WARNING! SPOILERS)


10: "Oh my stars and garters"
09: "Hello, Moira"
08: Chris Claremont as the lawnmower man in the first scene (and Stan too!)
07: the Danger Room! a fastball special! and a Sentinal (at least part of one)! in the same scene even!!
06: a fully iced-up Iceman!
05: Jean holding back Scott's optic blasts. ahhh, memories
04: the Golden Gate Bridge.... come on, that's pretty awesome.
03: Angel's wings! (the first time anyway)
02: Wolverine's claws in Jean's gut, echoing what he did to Rachel in Uncanny #206
01: the scene at Jean Grey's house. it's a stunner! it's breathtaking. it really does a good job of portraying how beautiful and terrible the Phoenix is.

10: "Oh my stars and garters"
AWESOME



08: Chris Claremont as the lawnmower man in the first scene (and Stan too!)
I thought I was the only one that caught Chris....

07: the Danger Room! a fastball special! and a Sentinal (at least part of one)! in the same scene even!!
hahah, GREAT!

06: a fully iced-up Iceman!
I thought they weren't going to ice him up, I was happy they did, in the comics Bobby would have handled Pyro easily


02: Wolverine's claws in Jean's gut, echoing what he did to Rachel in Uncanny #206
Yeah, I thought the same thing!

Dayspring said:

the bridge -- yow-zaa. the whole sequence was fantastic.
the wings -- even having seen that in the trailer, it was cool. next time, he should fly wearing only a jockstrap.
the house -- wow wow wow -- i loved the veins on her face, and the ripping off of the top layer of skin.

meltwithu said:

It actually was dusk; the sun was beginning to set, when the whole Golden Gate deal occurred.

I'm going to sound like an idiot. It's been a a long while since I collected comics. Who was the girl that CLAPPED, was that Psyloch?


M

Professor X did not die though!!! If you stayed til the end afterthe credits qwas over, a 10 second clip came on where a man woke up out of a coma and it was professor X in another mans body and everyone in movie theater who stayed to see it clapped and yelled!! Thanks to my soon to be ex for telling me to stay

There will be a 4 with a different body professor x
