EvilDevo said:my thoughts exactly on the squid. i loved that shot in the trailer where a ship is being broken apart and sunk and there are tentacles coming out of the water all over the place. the camera is above all the action, looking down on it... and i THINK there were people climbing up and along the mast and rigging and stuff. so cool... i hope this shot makes it into the film.
but anyway, back to X3... i just thought there was way too much going on. too many sub plots, too many under developed characters...
***SEMI-SPOILER ALERT***
and why, WHY did they kill off not one, but TWO of my favorite characters? i loved the interaction between cyclops and wolverine in the first two movies (especially the first, hilarious)... and it was pretty much non existant in this film.
*sigh*
oh well, hopefully the wolverine and magneto prequels will be decent...
Who knows. They kinda made scott a brat. Maybe the argument can be made that Phoenix "got into" scott's head leaving him pretty much toast after Jean was killed. I personally think they needed to dumb down the X-Mens power to have a more climatic final battle scene. Lets face it, Magneto should have been able to stop pretty much all the carnage with all the metal on the island. The biggest problem with establishing power, is dumbing it down to have a more meaningful fight. I was worried they with all the personalities, like in Batman forever, it would be too streached. I give this movie a solid B, well worth the price of admission. The Danger room scene inthe beginning was the best throw back to the comics, around #165 to #220, which to me were the best. |
