No, but box office is a factor. If a film is as terrible as so many on message boards claim, it wouldn't pull in that much money would it? Especially if it continues to do well after its opening weekend. People can be fooled a little bit by good marketing, but not all the way.
And the reviews for X3 weren't bad - just mixed. It cracked the top 50 for Rotten Tomatoes 50 Best Reviewed Films Of 2006.
Since when has anyone's opinion on Rotten Tomatoes mattered?
I agree, Daredevil & Ghost Rider were poo!
When it comes to the X-Movies, I was just happy to see a fandom I follow so loyally brought to the silver screen. Having said that, while there were elements I disagreed with I did enjoy each film, but then I did apply the fact that since it was a movieverse, it would never compare with comicsverse for many reasons (corporate nuisance, translation to film, botched ideas etc).
I wouldn't have been happy with any old crap, and there were many things in the X-Films that grated on me, but overall I did like them.
