The Best Honest X-men 3 review. (WRITTEN by X-MEN COMIC FAN)

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2006)

X-men the Last Stand was a fairly good movie, I admit I was entertained, but the movie had many flaws.
The first thing wrong with the X-men movies were they had only half of the main X-men who literally make X-men what it is. In X-men issue #1the first X-men were Professor X(1,2,3), Cyclops(1,2,3 barely), Jean Grey(1,2,3), Beast(3), Angel(3) and Iceman(3). In the '70s night crawler(2), Colossus(3), Wolverine(1,2,3), Storm(1,2,3), Rogue(1,2 barely 3) and Shadow Cat(3) were added. X-men Movie #1 Only 6/12 of these characters were introduced, in the 2nd 7/12 were introduced. By the third they managed to have all 12 characters introduced but sadly too late. There was not enough time to introduce these complex characters, but it was cool to see the "missing" X-men in 3 even if only for 10 or 15 seconds.
After you realize half of the "movie X-men" are missing more problems arise... the personalities of the existing "movie X-men" are also missing or warped. In the comics the X-men are all oxymorons of their powers... in the movie they basically only have their powers but missing their unique personalities. The people who made the X-men movies only saw the powers and not the characters associated with the powers.
The movie was pretty good though, good action scenes, good acting, nothing really wrong more good than bad. For an X-men Fan movie scores 3/10, for the average joe who has no idea what the X-men are 7/10. If you want an excuse to see a movie and you have already seen Davinci Code and Mission Impossible 3, this movie is worth seeing.
PS: isn't the phoenix suppose to represent something of a bird? I think a flaming bird would have been cool at least...
