I forgot how awful this movie was.

I might have to watch it again to see if there's a single scene without heavy handed moralizing and cliches.

I want to slap every mutant character in this movie and not stop until the end of 2011.

It wasn't THAT bad. I mean, it was still much better than X-men Origins: Wolverine. That was pretty awful. And it doesn't hold a candle to Battefield Earth, or many other movies.  I think that the first 2 X-Men films were good, and this one being the weakest is perceived to be worse than it really is.

I thought this was much worse than the Wolverine movie.   Just dull.

Doctor Who?

Don't forget depressing.  It's boring and depressing.  I mean they kill off both Cyclops and Professor X.

I was fine with the death of whiny cryee cyclops.

I was pissed off at the death of Cyclops just because they hadn't really done his character very well in the movies, and now they just eliminated any chance on improving that. They just killed him off for the sake of killing him off.

That is how I felt and it is one reason i hope we get a sequel to Xmen First class,so we can see Cyclops done right.

Yeah well i thought the guy who was playing him was laughable as an actor though.  I shouldnt be laughing when the actor is crying. 

Doctor Who?

Well they would have to recast in a new first class movie,Cyclops would be a Teenager or in his early 20s in that movie.

I guess they had to fill the role in this movie as Cyclops is a pretty high up character, but he had NOTHING to do in this movie.

Meh, X-men TLS has some good ideas here and there, but I think the writers counted on those
few ideas to carry the movie. Still... at least it was better than the wretched Wolverine movie.

Doctor Who?

I don't know.  I thought there were a couple of good action scenes in Wolverine.  I have a hard time deciding which movie is worse.

I think Kevin's line when Mystique gets hit with the cure dart was a lot like mine.  I just remembered regular naked Rebecca Romjin and forgot about everything else in the movie, and thought "X-3, that was a GREAT movie!"

Well, in part I truly despise Wolverine for having so many BS action cliches, most notably Logan
walking away from an explosion. I mean goddamn Hollywood would you please knock that shit
off already? Even in 1995 that shit was so old, it was on life support.

And I'm kinda bothered that they didn't really do anything with the character of Logan at all, even
though that's basically what the title of the movie promises.
