Ahh, X-men 3. Loved, hated, but never ignored.
The thing about that movie was, it ruled as much as it sucked. Depending on what you watch it for, it's realy several different movies.
A cool movie: You get all kinds of mutants, different powers, fight scenes, the works. Like, remember the Deathstrike/Wolverine battle from X2? Imagine something on a bigger scale, several times.
A crap movie: Unlike X1 and X2, which focoused a lot on the charecters and how they evolve as people, this film focouses on the mutant/human conflicts. WHile we get lots of insite into the way that mutant kind fares, what little charecter devolopment takes place is an afterthought, or a veivhal to show the world. We realy only see anyone as a mutant who has powers, not a real person with 3-dimensional feelings.
An X-men movie: THis reeks of X-men. It royaly screws up juggernort, but everything else feels right. Wolvie as a cigar smoking combat specialist, not afriad to take on a giant robot single handed. Colousus as an iron strong man, the team player. Phoenix as, well, phoenix.
The judgement: Fun. It fucks itself by not realy focousing on anyone, treating everyone as a secondary charecter, except posibly Magneto. But it provides so many options for the next movie, and has all sorts of cool fight scenes. I would recomond seeing it, but would never buy the DVD.
The Banana, the Atheist's Nightmare:
God made it with a non-slip surface, a color coded system so we know when to eat it, and an easy open tab at the top of the banana. It's just the right shape for a mouth and is easy to digest!!
