I have to agree. For my taste a little too many mutants and action, but overall satisfying.
The best thing for me was the Phoenix. Even though she did not appear with her comic fire bird image, she was a lot more frightening than in the comics...really scary!!!
The worst thing for me was, that Angel was nothing more than a shallow plot device.
Hint...Wait until after the credits...it's worth it!

Wannabe, atleast we got the Phoenix Flame. And Angel saving his dad was.....not needed. He had no development then Callisto and co try and push his dad off the building only to be saved by his son, who he wanted to change? Please...
But over all, really good (some scenes were too rushed)
okay yea people the last time i saw x-men cartoons was about ten or twelve and now im nineteen along ass time ago the comics too so im wonderin people who the hell is collisto and psylocke???
I can very well live with Jean not showing her bird image...the film version is sooo much scarier and more frightening than the comic version, i almost wetted myself when Xavier confronted her...COOL!
Nice to see Storm actually fighting and flying around.
Yes to everything you said about Angel etc.
Btw...the thing after the credits...wasn't that awesome (and relieving)?!
X-1 7/10
X-2 9/10
X-3 8/10

It was a pretty good movie, and I appreciated how it didn't mind to be a bit more violent than the first two movies. I mean, jean obliterating the prof came as a shock to me. but i loved it.
Also, wolverine was shown as a lot more tactical and a better fighter than when he was portrayed as a simple berserker in the first two films.
If ever they make a sequel, they should make it Age of Apocalypse, since most of the main Xmen already died and in AoA only a little xmen are left.
The only bad thing about the movie was that I wish they could have given colossus more screen time. I really love that character. I was kinda waiting for him and juggernaut to clobber each other... but to no avail.
Spidey wasn't in it.
Juggy's part was like sabertooth's in the first movie. Magneto's big man.
Wolvie did a lot. Like 60% of the movie
Beast was mostly in a suit, but he did have ample screen time and only 1 fight scene.
the movie was around 104 mins.
I haven't seen this yet. Comes out today.
The review I've seen and read seems to think the 3rd is not as good as the first two... will have to decide for myself when I watch it later this week

I'm disappointed with this movie, I enjoyed it but... there was something missing... and yes... the end gave me hope for another X movie!!!
(I meant the scene at the end of the credits!)
Still, I'm having mixed feelings about this...

Pity, that you told him...would have been a nice surprise for the others.
And you ARE mistaken!!! (now that the secret is out i can explain how)
In the beginning of the film Charles gives an ethics lesson with an example of a brain dead but otherwise healthy man, who could be the vessel for the psyche of a man suffering from lethal cancer, and if that would be ok or not. The brain dead man is treated by Moira McTaggart, a friend of Charles.
So after the credits, the room in which the patient is treated is shown. Moira is standing at the instruments and suddenly the man begins to speak with Xavier's voice, greeting Moira, and she, full in shock, just asks: "Charles?" END
When Jean disintegrated Charles (most horrifying scene of the film imo, gives you the creeps!), i already assumed that he transfered his mind into another body (those telepaths do that every now and then in the comics), but i thought it would be Wolverine's, because he was the last person Charles looked at. But the Brain-Dead-Man-Version is way better i think.
