The Best Non-Spoiler X3 Review Ever

[apotheon]

I'll make this quick.

1. Stay through the (very long) credits, or at least don't leave any longer than it takes to urinate. There's an anticlimactic "surprise" scene at the end of the credits. I'm sure you'll guess what's going on before anything happens. Still, watch it.
2. The movie is kinda fluff. I'm not surprised. The previous two weren't

"If you didn't complain about continuity, plotline, timeline, characterization, and so on in the last two movies, ever since the COMPLETELY HOSED UP introduction and unrecognizable modification of the Rogue character, you BETTER NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT ANY OF THAT IN MY HEARING WITH REGARDS TO THIS MOVIE."

Of course, this is a movie and they are never as good as the book -or comic book...(or even cartoon.)

But I liked #2. I'm hoping to be entertained by #3 and more following. I won't complain, but I might point it out from time to time as a point of interest.

I can't wait to see it.

Oh, yeah . . . I've been discussing the variations to death over here. I don't even mind complaints so much, as long as the complainer doesn't act like this is a new thing. I wonder how anyone could be having such an awful reaction to this one as many people are without having had the same awful reaction to the first one and given up on the series before even the second was released. The second movie didn't let up on the variations, either. The third is no worse in that respect than either of the previous two.

I hear that with a new director the film is less cerebral and more action-smash-crash-bang.

I hope this isn't so. I liked the thinking part....

Well . . . it is kinda true, but the script may well have led him that way somewhat anyway, so don't blame the director so much.
