I thought the movie was fairly good, but movies are so predictable nowadays, ya know. I like Magneto quote in the movie: WE ARE THE CURE...WE ARE THE CURE!!!!! I've been annoying my little brother saying that all day...lol
Oh-did anybody like BEAST!!!!! That was my dawg!!!
He was so blue and so cool...lol
I went with like 30 people to go and see it at the movies, and when when Beast came on, we were all chanting: BEAST...BEAST!!!!! LOL!!!! We almost got kicked out of the theater!!!!

The way they killed of Scott - how cheap was that? I know that the actor was busy with working on "Superman," but I thought it was very cheap how he was only in two scenes for the movie.
How they had Rogue give in her powers, even though they have never given her character the attention that she deserves (Why Anna Paquin - WHY?!) It's as if the essential point of all the movies has been to never change yourself and always be proud of being what you are....then all of the sudden it's "Eh, I don't like myself *that* much, so I'll go ahead and change who I am just for my current boyfriend."
How they completely ruined Mystique's character. Why did they bother having her in the movie when she would only have two scenes? She was one of my favorite characters and they really ruined something good there.
It upset me how they changed the story of Jean Grey and Cyclops. In the comics they got married and had a family, but in this one they just decide to kill them both - WHY!?
It seems like a lot of things that were done in the movie were done for sheer shock value. Killing off Professor X in such an anti-climactic way was disappointing to me and left me questioning why they had to do it in such a way that seemed so pointless.
...don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie, but all in all it was pretty flawed and certainly the first and second films were better. I wish they hadn't gotten a new director, especially one that had worked on "Fantastic Four." Yikes.

I agree with how scott was killed was lame. but the way the movie ended does give hope that more will come. with magneto seemly getting his powers back ,it seems that the DNA thing is only temporaly.
I didnt like how there was no Nightcrawler, Colus(sp) should have been used more, you never got to see cerbus( or was it competly destroyed from the xmen 2 when it was taken apart?
WTF happend to Gambit? thought he was supposed to be in this movie.

There is a Magneto movie in the works, as well as one for Wolverine. I doubt there will be any more actual X-Men movies though.

C'mon, they kill Jean, like, ALL the time in the comics. It was bound to happen in at least one of the movies. ;)

- I agree it was good that they maybe gave Magneto his powers back, but the fact that Professor X is very nearly gone is disappointing. I imagine all we will have of him now is a voice-over of his new self or flashbacks.
Nightcrawler was written out completely b/c the actor hated putting the suit on. He said it was too stressful and only agreed to doing one movie. Which sucks, cos he was a fave character. And Colossus was just not given enough air-time, I guess.
Gambit wasn't put in it b/c, supposedly, they didn't know how to not have him look silly, since his power is "different." I think it's a shame he wasn't included.
As for Jean dying, she already died once in the second film and it was great to have the hope that she'd be back. Bringing her back again now is just too redundant.
If you count, there were five mutants in this movie that were lost either through dying or losing their powers: Rogue, Professor X, Mystique, Cyclops, and Jean Grey.
Isn't this a bit much?

Yes, but we don't know if these actors wanted to play in another movie which Dan said, a spin off would be something, something better then nothing, I for one will go to a open night of Wolverine's movie and a Magneto movie, I cant recall but I think in the comic Xavier died and mostly comunicated via his voice from the dead...I could see that in a Wolverine movie.
If the lose of power is temporaly, Rogue can get her powers back so can Mystiqe(sp) I'm hoping she comes back, I think in the cartoon series and comic series, Mystiqe is Rogues real mother.
The thing about these X men movies is so many get killed off, I remember Sabertooth (who was killed in the 1st one) was allmost always a fixture and Wolverines main enemy.
I do hope in the spin off some of the other chars come back, like Beast, Colusses(sp)
Be nice if Magneto movie was his past and how he and Xavier ended up tother, and built Cerbus and the falling out.

Okay, now that I have some time, here's my full two-cents on the X-Men 3 movie experience:
This movie, through character deaths and the mutant cure (which is an idea from Joss Whedon's AWESOME Astonishing X-Men book), fixed something that let me down in the previous two. It gave me the feeling that no-one was safe, and therefore made it more enjoyable, as I never knew WHAT was going to happen. Who was going to die? Who would be cured?
In the other two movies (that I also love) I didn't get that. I always had the feeling that they'd all come out unscathed, and everything would be fine. I mean, c'mon! They're the friggin' X-Men! But, that starts to get old. The characters are always in (pretty much) the same place they were in at the beginning of the movie, and that always takes people (like me) out of the story.
The stakes have to be higher. There has to be a real sense of danger, otherwise, most movie fans will be let down. Look at the Batman movies. The Joker DIES in the FIRST one! He is one of the most MAJOR of major characters in all of comic book history, but in a movie, the stakes have to be higher, thus, the Joker had to take a dive. Literally.
In the X-Men comics, they've killed off most (if not all) of the main X-Men in one timeline or another. Take 'Days Of The Future Past' for example. Most of the major X-Men are dead (more or less) from the get go. And I don't even KNOW how many times they've killed Jean Grey (remember, she IS the Phoenix after all).
With movies (for the most part), you only get about two hours to tell a story that, in a comic book, could easily take up a couple years worth of issues (depending on writers/atrists). And you have to take into account the percentage of your audience who hasn't read the source material, while still staying close enough to that same material to keep the established fans happy.
I guess what I'm really saying is to try and look at the X-Men movies as an alternate timeline. Something all their own and original. If you can do that, you'll be less inclined to be upset about certain things, and more inclined to have a good time at the movies. To me, all three of these movies are yet ANOTHER writer's take on the X-Men I've loved all my life, and there have been MANY before (in comics and other media) that have done FAR worse than these guys... and I am anything BUT a fan of the writers of this movie. And ah don't like th' director none too good neither. ;)

Saw it earlier today with a friend. Overall, not really bad. But nowhere near great. And before I say anything else, I know nothing about the comics.
A lot of nice action scenes and some misc things that I also liked. But mainly, lots of missed opportunities. Miss James already stated a lot of what I thought. But I suppose the biggest could be the Phoenix idea. I know zip about the Phoenix stories. Nada... But from what I hear, they're BIG and could be the source of a great story if tapped.
Even my friend who was looking forward to it more than me, left feeling kinda bummed. He kept saying how short it was. It's 1 hour and 36mins long, btw, which I guess is pretty short for such a film like this. I don't know why, but I didn't notice how short it was. When I told him Fox had rushed it into cinemas, he began to take some solace in knowing that maybe they'll release an extended cut on dvd.
A lot of plot and heart was missing from what had come before. But I left entertained and there are some nice little chuckle moments. And if an extended dvd does come out, I hope there is enough material to flesh things out more.
Peace,
Adam.
