Just Watched X-Men 3 #no spoilers#

Scrutinize · 25 May 2006 at 15:27

Went to see the lunch time showing and X3 is great. IMO better than the first two. I would say this would be enjoyed by everyone whether you are a fan or not.

Worth going to see and I wasn't bored at any stage. If anything it seemed a bit short but a solid 8/10

I haven't seen the film yet but watching the trailers for it it does look better than the first 2.

Probably go to watch it in the next few days.

Might go and watch this with some mates soon, the last two were good films that were cool to watch.

Alex_L · 25 May 2006 at 18:53

saw this last night as a free guest of a mate who works at the cinema.

I have to say that personally I thought it wasn't as good as the second one but better than the first.

Having said that I thought that it started out well but got a bit crazy and far fetched the further in it went. Vinnie jones ruined it for me though, just wasn't plausible as juggernaut.

good watch, and be interesting to see if they make a sequel, as i think it would be pretty tricky given the events of this film.

Haven't seen it yet but very worried that Singer isn't in control of this one, I know the new director has vowed to make a true continuation of the trilogy, but i've got a really bad feeling!

I saw it last night and thought it was great, but I'm no comic book geek so if it had been all wrong I wouldn't have known.

Mic · 25 May 2006 at 20:18

Very underwhelmed by it all.
I can honestly say i dont mind if i never see it again. It was 'alright'. So much wasted opportuinities

Rottentomatoes has 63%, positive but it's boarderline.

MajinV · 25 May 2006 at 20:59

aaaargghh! is all i can say about the 'xmen' bit

Great action movie and characterisations though

MarkyMark · 25 May 2006 at 21:20

Just a tip for anyone who goes to watch this at the cinema. Just got back from seeing it and there is a short sequence right at the end after all the credits. Kind of turns some of what you thought you knew on its head.

Am not spoiling anything for anyone though. Just thought i'd make you all aware since a nice guy at the cinema gave us the heads up

Yeah just saw it plus the extra bit at the end... another film coming perhaps?

Fox said this is the last film. But everyone involved said its the last of 'this trilogy'. And of course money talks, film does well there will be a sequal.
A fourth would start a new trilogy, probably without Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry.

aardvark · 25 May 2006 at 22:07

i heard that fox confirmed that there will be another, although it will be a separate story line, a new trilogy maybe.

Nope. They have confirmed the Magneto spin off and the Wolverine spin off.

Stelly · 25 May 2006 at 22:14

I'm going to watch the late late showing tomorrow night, not looking forward to it since the new director and a few mates sed its worth a watch but nothing brilliant

i didn't know about the magneto spin off, that sounds good.

the story i saw was talking about new xmen films but the details were vague - i think it was more a case of an exectutive saying that just because the new film is called 'the last stand' that this doesn't necessarily mean it will be the last, so he wasn't really confirming that they will make some more but didn't discount the possibility - in reality it will all depend on the amount of sales the new one makes - generally speaking if a film doesn't make $80 million then there is no chance of sequel

Just came back. It was good. Wish it had been a bit longer. Look forward to the spin offs. A shame I didnt stay till the end of the credits.

That bloke with no conciousness wakes up and says 'Marie' (IIRC) in Xaviers voice to a nurse and she says 'Charles' then it ends.

Just back from seeing it this eve. Not quite as fun as the first two and at times slightly over dramatic but a good end to the "trilogy".

Ta for the tipoff about the credits, prompted me to check on wiki.

That would be Lauren Shuller Donner os some weird ass name like that.

makes - generally speaking if a film doesn't make $80 million then there is no chance of sequel

I think this film will need to make a lot more than 80 million to ensure a sequal.. It cost a whopping 200million
