Downright terrible

Rating: 2/10 (25 May 2006)

Regardless of how insanely this film deviated from comic book story lines, the absolute triteness of this film will upset anyone who claims to own one ounce of film integrity.
The opening of the film, in which a young Angel is attempting to cut off his own wings, is a very bloody, intensely dark scene that gives one the notion that X3 will be one of, if not the, darkest comic films ever. That is the high point.
The plot is obviously haphazardly thrown together. There are at least four points in the film in which anyone who has watched more than ten movies in his/her lifetime can word-for-word predict the following lines. This film is a cliché encyclopedia. The score is trite and awful. As is the dialogue - even so much as to use gratuitous profanity in one of the closing scenes.
To think that the finale of an extremely successful series runs under two hours goes to show exactly how much of a lack of storyline was able to be created for this film.
If you enjoyed the first two in the series, think Matrix, and avoid watching this film as to not poison your notion of the first two.
