X-Men Movies have all failed (including X3) next to great films like Spiderman + Batman Begins thats a fact

Rating: 5/10 (31 May 2006)

Brett Ratner did pretty good job considering the the original x-men director Bryan Singer left and took all the people who worked on first films with him to go make superman returns. (which looks actually pretty good)
Most of the problem's about X3 were out of Rattner's control because you take all the former writers/sound that did both of the previous movies things aren't going to sound an look the exact same as the first two.
Do you think it helped that Cyclops is the star in the the new Superman film? It forced them to have to kill him off early in X3 or it would have delayed the film to get him in more scenes.
Anyway here is some reasons though why X3 fell short and isn't as good as other comic movies.
Rogue - the worst character through all three movies does absolutely nothing at all in this film...She was one of my favorite characters in the cartoon, could fly, had super human strength, yet in movies she was completely worthless an didn't fight at all, and was tight cast to be the movies mutant pity character who made you feel sorry her so that people might see the cure could be used for good.
Gambit - one of the best x-men is nowhere in this film :\ yet they make room for ice-kid + some new kid-chick an of course fire-boy
Beast - sucked horribly, he did one fight scene for about three seconds where he kicks a few mutants, he only talks five times in the movie an doesn't sound intellectual when he speaks. He makes no connection with any characters...he really just doesn't ever fit in the movie at all or the x-men...while in the cartoon I remember he actually is very useful and has good idea's and gets crap done by himself. In this movie he was politician an offered nothing really at all to the team.
Wolverine - Hugh Jackman acts even worse then Halle berry in X3, also not only is the actor not good but the script for him is awful.... he makes out with jean Grey even tho he knows she had gone crazy and killed cyclops....yet he makes out with her for like 5 minutes right after that scene where he found Cyclops vanished and his glasses floating around yet all that doesn't seem to have wolverine bothered at all once he sees her boobs !!!???!?! (doesn't make sense)
Angel - Trailers made him out to have a much bigger role basically he speaks twice in the movie and you only see him for about 5 seconds both times, could have just not had him in film at all and made a mutant we already knew fill in for him instead
Worst part of the film is when the army started using plastic weaponry with cure needles I know they can't use metal but it just seemed very cheesy like they were shooting mutants with super soaker's....this kind of stuff you don't want to see in a movie of this budget.
I also laughed when magneto started throwing cars off the golden-gate bridge an the flame-boy decides to flame them up beforehand. (Basically the director saying how can we make things explode, oh lets just have the flame-kid throw some flames on magneto's car like some kind of fantastic 4 ending battle rip off)
X-men on fox-kids being my favorite cartoon I knew from the start that they really dropped the ball at making the movies any good. How hard would it have been to find actor's that portray the characters? Find someone who's grittier then Hugh Jackman, easy. Get someone who's less attention whoring then Hallie berry, is it that really that hard to do either?
Please understand these people don't fit the roles, the worst possible choice was the magneto actor who looks like hes 80 years old when magneto is only in his 50's and his costume design's seemed way off, the villains were not developed enough especially toad that was the worst character ever.
The first x-men film was a really cheesy and trashy movie IMO compared to x-men 3 if your going to compare which movie gave me better bang for the buck an more entertainment people will always pick x3.
Overall I think they all were like mediocre movies in there own ways
Id rate
X1 5/10 X2 6/10 X3 7/10 spider-man 9/10 spider-man 2 10/10 batman begins 10/10
See how all the x-men movies especially the first ones don't stack up to the competition? Both directors failed not just Dan Rattner, both of them don't compare to the director's who did batman ran returns an spider-man so don't blame one or the other blame them both for not being able to bring x-men to the movies on the same level.
