I saw it.
I liked some of the ideas. The execution and conclusion were a bit . . . unfulfilling. The word copout comes to mind.

copout and lack of focus, i thought. the idea of the mutant cure is awesome... the one and only x-men comic i have deals with the cure and it's handled pretty well in there.
The movie tried to focus on too many good ideas (and a couple of bad ones) and didn't really get to give any one idea the attention it deserved. my #1 biggest beef was with their treatment of the overarching conflict. The cure was really the villian of the movie, not Magneto and his brotherhood. they were antagonists, but not the main villians, and using the cure against him in the end felt... wrong.
my #2 biggest beef... where the hell was Nightcrawler??? he's totally rad!

ah shoot. My most anticipated movie of the year (that's right! it's not Pirrates, nor Cars)..and I don't get to see it cause I'm in stinkin' Japan. Japan doesn't actually stink. It is the fact that all the U.S movies come out about 3 to 4 months later that stinks. No matter how bad it is, I will probably love this movie. cause it's freakin' X-men.

Heidi and I saw it yesterday.
Movie ends. Credits start to roll.
Heidi - "John Powell!! He did the music for Ice Age 2!!"
It was better then I thought it was going to be, but still a terd in the end. The more I think about this movie the angrier I get about it. It has some really interesting plotlines and ideas, but it screwed up all the conclusions. They made this movie to end a trilogy, and to me superhero movies just shouldn't be trilogies. They should be unending, or just openended. The premise and basic characters should stay intact in every film. X3 completely destroys their franchise by making it a closed ending. And maybe I could handle a closed ending if it ended in a good way, with all the characters I know and love fulfilled in some way, but its not like that at all!! I won't say anything, cause I don't want to spoil it, but man they made some assinine descisions with these characters!
So yeah... I don't know... I guess its worth seeing for the first half, before they really start screwing things up.

I think I pretty much agree with what everyone else is saying. I liked it a lot better than I thought I would. And there were pretty cool moments in there. I feel like it just starts to get lost in the middle. They start following all these characters that we don't really care about. But yeah, better than I was expecting, but not as good as the first two at all.

jen, after you told me the plot of the film, man, i'm just as angry as you are. how can they have killed "..........." and "........" and "..............." !!!! that's just wrong! but then,,, this is just to show austin that pen was right, wolverine is better than cyclop. the bad ass sexy mutant always win, and the goody boring fiancee mutant d*es.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???!!!!! Cyclops Dies??!!! ack! I didn't know!!! I can't believe you are posting this ED!!!! I haven't seen it, but it's my most anticipated movie!! GRARRRR!!! MAJOR SPOILER!
oh well, I don't really care that much so don't worry about it hee hee. I didn't like Cyclops anyway (who does?). But then again I don't like Wolverine either..hm. and Lissa is right!! Night Crawler IS one of the coolest characters and I guess he doesn't appear in the 3rd one hugh?! dang it.
I FRIGGIN can't wait to see this film...but when will I see it? Japan doesn't even have an official release date for it. This is really pissing me off.

I'm not a homo but i have to say wolverine is a bad ass sexy hero, how can you not like him!? he is attractive to both man and woman, that's why he is so awesome, and that's why the movie is worth watching... in my opinion. and he is canadian!
and i'm sorry minkyu, i didn't mean to spoil it... i thought everyone pretty much saw it except me and nick.

I was not a fan of this movie at all. Minus a few semi cool ideas...
Q major spoilers so don't read this...it is a topic about the movie...to discuss it, so yeah, anyway
when wolverine is trying to get to grey at the end, that was pretty cool with his skin...I know small, but I liked it.
The mutant cure....awesome idea but I hate when they set something up in a movie to be a certain way and then totally reverse it in the end....with the whole Magneto still having power....stupid....it like negates the whole point of having it....I know you could say "magneto is so powerful though" but that's stupid.
I could go on and on and on with things I didn't like about this movie, I was hearing that we finally got to see iceman and pyro (is that the characters name?) go at it and that fight was STUPID, and the whole angel thing swooping and saving his dad...just crappy stuff.
One last thing, isn't Prof X suppose to be like the most powerful mutant ever...how come Grey took him out so easily? Maybe her new form is more powerful in the comics...don't know.
that's enough ranting.
peace.

I like that angel came in and saved his dad, but i wish they'd let that play out a little more. I mean that was a big move from a character that we SHOULD have gotten to know better. They could have at least shown them standing together at a press conference or something, showing angle with his wings out and unafraid of hiding them anymore. All in all, with angel, it sucks that they'd introduce him and then take him nowhere. Just one of the many awesome concepts that they threw in there and didn't do jack with.
