A Disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (6 September 2008)

I was very excited to see the third movie as I enjoyed the first two very much. However, I was a bit disappointed. It seems to me that instead of X-men 3, it should be called Carrie 3 as Jean Grey goes completely insane on us and starts killing people and blowing things into smithereens. The story was not very good. I really did not like Jean Grey's part in this movie. I also thought it was odd that they killed Cyclops in like the first fifteen movies of the film, and then move onto killing the professor. Mystique, Rogue, and Magneto lose their mutant powers which also makes me sad. Rogue's role in this film was way too minimal with Kitty practically replacing her. Honestly, I did not like Storm's new hair very much. Oh, and Mystique's role was also pretty minimal in this movie. The ending seems to hint there will be another X-men movie but with a lot of the main characters gone, what will happen? I'm disappointed with Brett Ratner, as he made the Rush Hour movies, I believe, and I love the Rush Hour movies. But he did a horrible job with the third X-men movie. Whatever, I'll just pretend that one doesn't exist and just watch 1 and 2 happily.
