I watched X-Men3 at the theater a couple weeks ago. If it's still playing and anyone is planning to see it, be sure to sit through the credits so you won't miss an important scene at the end.
I have heard many complaints that the new director wasn't as good, or it didn't follow the comic book like it should, but I liked it.
Has anyone seen it yet? My favorite line was Kelsey grammar as The Beast, when he said "Oh my stars and garters!" Cracked me up.
I went to see this movie with a few friends for fun, not really expecting to like it. Woah! I was completely suprised by this movie. I am obsessed with it now and will go with any of my friends that haven't seen it just as an excuse to go see it again! I haven't seen any of the other X Men movies or read the comics but I probably will now.
SPOILER
I was impressed to see that so much time and effort had gone into one movie, indeed it was a last stand considering that many of the main characters died.
I wondered if Jean's return had anything to do with her lover's beam in the lake? How did Magneto still have his power again?
Saw X-men 3 and it was not what I expected at all. I liked the storyline of Jean having a double personality and how she was brought back to life and the fact that only Wolverine was able to help her at the end..I think I expected more from the newer characters otherwise I did enjoy it.
