Ugh - just got back from a midnight screening of X3.
It was pretty much as bad as I thought it would be. Actually, maybe just a bit worse. Not quite Batman and Robin bad, but pretty close. I should have just stayed home and pulled out my comics and wiped my butt with each issue of X-Men, because that's basically what Brett Ratner and company did. Not only that, they peed on the ashes of the divergent yet rich continuity of the first two films.
All the more reason that I believe Bryan "they should have waited for me to end the series with some grace, elegance, and an understanding of things besides massive stunt setpieces" Singer is going to deliver a massive bitch-slap with Superman Returns.
But, as is usually the case...I'm sure the public will eat up the fetid, stillborn mess that is X3. Baa baa masses. Baa baa.
I'm a director, editor, writer, producer, and quasi-composer whose work has been seen worldwide through clients such as Fuse Networks, OvationTV, Fangoria Magazine, Alternative Press, Limekiln Records, Blacktop Records, RSquared Films, Big Bite Entertainment, and Lionsgate Films. I've been doing the film thing "for reals" for about 17 years now. It ain't always pretty, and it doesn't always love me back, but it's what I love doing. Read on for more.

NO!!! Say it ain't so! BRETT RATNER CANNOT LET US DOWN!!!!
I agree with you mel. X-3 was fucking terrible. No plot and development of characters. Bret Raetner basically took a shit on Singers matserpieces. I love how beast had no story. Apparently he was just always an x-men. And it rocked when they killed cyclops and xavier in the first 20 minutes. Angel and juggernaut were as pointless as the making of this film. Why was the music in the movie so fucking reatarted. The first movies had serious tones. This movie was not serious at all. It was a movie for 2 year olds. If this movie had been a fetus it woulkd have been aborted!
