X-Men 3

I am definitely looking forward to X3. I will be very interested to see how much time is supposed to have passed between X2 and X3. It seems like things will be happening on a grand scale in X3, which to me should mean that quite a bit of time has passed.

I think Rogue is interesting, because she's not really Rogue. I think they morphed the role that Jubilee plays into Rogue's character, so that Wolverine could be a father figure to her. They really need to find a way to remove the lameness of her current state of power in the new film.

I can see how they added Beast and Angel to please fans of the comic book, but I really don't see how they will add to the film in a serious, positive way. (Except that Grammar's acting should be superb.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That thing was very, very disturbing. I looked at preview pictures on the web and totally didn't realize that thing was a chick until I read that the character was a woman.

Did anyone else notice how it went from sunset as Magneto was moving the bridge and dropping it down to it being about 10pm as his army rushes the troops? Did I lose time or was there some sort of continuity error going on?

Spoiler:

I think they made it like that because of the dark weather that Storm caused, but visually it did make it seem like 5 hours had suddenly passed...

Overall, I liked it, but I don't think you'd get as much out of it if you hadn't watched the first three movies. Knowledge of the comics also helps. I looked all the characters up on Wiki first, otherwise it would have been more confusing. I actually don't mind that they didn't develop all the characters - do they in any film? The only thing that I thought was cheesy about having hundreds of mutants is that during the battle at the end, they really didn't show any of their mutant powers, except for the very main ones. So, that scene didn't have impact, for me. Still, a great film.

Spoiler:

I thought it was weird how they just killed off Scott, without even showing it. I mean, what a throw-away character. Still, he was even kind of a throw-away in X-men 2 since he was captured for most of the time! They definitely did some things that can't be undone.

Also, if they really had a "cure" for mutants, this is how it would pan out in reality:

Spoiler:

It would have been put into the drinking water, into food, vaporized and put into the air... there would have been no way to escape it. Sure, they made it seem at first like there wasn't much of it, but then at the end suddenly there are like bazillions of gallons of it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Juggernaut must weigh, without his "inertia" power, at least 300 lbs. He wouldn't have lost inertia just because Leech drained his powers. Realistically, he would've kept going through at least the first wall he hit until the natural laws of physics stopped him, since there was no "opposing force" pushing back at him.

Really, you have to look past silly stuff like that, though, and just take the film for what it is.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
