Maybe not the best, but really, really good

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2006)

I was never a hardcore fan of this series, I caught the first X-men movie at a friend's house when it came out on DVD and I saw the second one in theaters but didn't think it really lived up to the hype. I recently went back and watched the first two and to my amazement, they were much better the second time around. I found myself actually excited for this movie, which is sometimes bad considering your expectations might not be met. All that being said, from the first few minutes of the movie you can definitely tell there's a different director for this movie. I love Bryan Singer, but I'm a bigger DC and Superman guy than I am a Marvel fan, so i'm thrilled X-3 had to get someone else. I think all in all the script was pretty good. There were some surprises and twists that intrigued me and with the amount of money the film is currently grossing, who knows, maybe this won't end a trilogy. For all the people going to see it, make sure you stay til after the credits.
