X-men 3

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2006)

I liked a lot of things in this film, and hated just as many. I went and saw it on the midnight showing baring a false hope for this film to have the same fell to it as the first two. I knew that Ratner had taken on this project and loved all of his films he had done to date(Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, Red Dragon). I thought that I was even lucky to get such a good seat at the showing. I sat own watched the starting, which started like the others had(for the most part). As I watched certain characters die that I had come to get used to in the previous films, I noticed that someone had sat in front of me with a giant afro. While I struggled to see the WHOLE screen, I realized that the story was not worth struggling for. So as the movie went on, I really just waited for the action, which at times was a let down as well. But mostly a great achievement. I go a little too far when I say i struggled to see. But I did only see about 2/3 of the screen. My point is, that when watching a more story worthy film, I might have struggles to see the other 1/3 of the screen for the rest of the time. Overall, it really fell victim to the it's publicity. I had such high expectations going into it, that it did hurt my review of the film a little. The most annoying part came when ....SPOILER.
.........the Brotherhood was taking the bridge, and as they got to Alcatraz....it went night-time. Just another overlooked, or lazy decision on Ratner's part.
