It's Van Helsing without Carl . . .

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2006)

I saw X-Men 3, and there were many things I did and did not like.
All these superpowers that the mutants possessed were deliciously crazy. I was interested to see the fight between fire and ice and who would win. Sir Ian McKellen, whom I've never seen as the villain, was wicked awesome.
However, the one thing I couldn't get over was how ripped off I felt towards the end of the movie. I couldn't help but get the deja vu feeling when I saw Hugh Jackman with those scruffy wolf man sideburns. Then it hit me. This was Van Helsing. How X3 ended especially, concerning Jackman's character, reminded me of Van Helsing, but that's just my opinion.
Is it supposed to be a trilogy? I loved that teasing ending, but it's making me wonder if they're not hinting for a follow-up story . . .
