I don't really think one would have to know *anything* about the comics to critique the movies. If the movie can't stand on it's own without mention of the comics then it probably sucks.
The first two were pretty good. This 3rd one just looks like shit... every new thing I hear about it makes me want to see it less. The worst thing is, it's like that Star Wars Holiday Special, you can pretend it didn't happen but it did.
Though, I still stand by Kelsey Grammer, you can't go wrong with that guy.

I wasn't impressed. I love the first one, haven't yet seen the second one but have it sitting on my desk right now, and I went to this one thinking it would be great. Most of the dialog was laughable, and I really cannot stand Halle Berry. She became the focal point of the movie.
I didn't like the fact that Wolverine kept showing weakness... for crying out loud, he's a mutant, not a human! His course of action when overwhelmed is to kick some ass, not weep.
And I was so pissed off with both Xavier dying and Magneto losing his powers, though the final pre-credits scene was good. And the post-credit scene, too, left some sort of hope. But I couldn't help but agree with Wolverine when he told Storm, "It's over."
Don't get me wrong, it was an okay movie, but I was very disappointed. There was no character development. And was it wrong that I was cheering for Magneto to win?

All X-men (and X-women :S) are surely homosexuals. Everyone is.
went and saw it yesterday
in a really cool theatre at atlantic station
i have read lots of peoples thoughts on the movie prior to going and tried to keep an open mind
i must admit i really enjoyed it
now i have never read the comics and i found the first film rather tedious and boring... loved xmenII and think this one was better then the first--
i forgot about the secret scene at the end so i *f* up there--
i guess some things that bothered me is in this one there were so many new characters...
with jean i thought hey if your suddenly going to say there is a split personality around why dont i recall any hints of it in the other two movies...
but a woman sucking the life out of a man,... come on i hear yall complaining about that daily *LOL* ok ok miss james and vice versa *giggle*
the 'fitting in' arch was quite moving.... i spent years trying to fit in and be like everyone else... so that touched home a bit...
obviously i dont worry about that no more
