who are these characters based on?!

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2006)

As far as major blockbusters go, X3 is a success. (that is, to someone who's never read a single X-Men comic in their lives!).
trying to squeeze four different stories into one film just doesn't work, stick to one storyline and keep to it. the film could have been a lot better, had only one story arch (such as the dark phoenix saga or juggernaut) been used.
some of the major problems i had with the film: 1. multiple man, psylocke and callisto part of the brotherhood?? 2. rogue actually going through with the "cure", if i remember correctly, she destroyed the machine in the comics. 3. cyclops, jean Gory, professor x and psylocke getting killed off as well as magneto, mystique and rogue getting depowered, why don't you just kill every last mutant?! 4. juggernaut is such a push-over in this film. did no one actually tell the writers he's supposed to be unstoppable and not a mutant. why the hell would leech's power affect him. oh, did i mention he's supposed to be professor x's stepbrother?? 5. why does rogue still not have all her powers? 6. rogue and iceman being in a relationship? when did that happen, or did i just so happen to miss that particular comic? 7. phoenix is one of jean's other personalities... i didn't know jean was a schizo... 8. where is colossus' Russian accent? 9. why was pyro ever part of the X-Men??? and where is his Australian accent? 10. when did mystique and magneto, and for that matter, magneto and pyro ever work together?? 11. Colossus and shadowcat are supposed to be together. 12. archangel, beast , jean Gory, cyclops and iceman are professor x's first five students, so why does archangel have such a small part in the film? 13. where did nightcrawler go?? did he just disappear off the face of the planet?? the writers could have at least try to explain as to why he's not with the x-men anymore. 14. the phoenix is called phoenix for a reason!! where are the flames??? it was hinted at in the second film, but never used in the third. 15. could they not at least give colossus and rogue a bit more screen time? they didn't do much... 16. when i heard moira mctaggert would be in the film i was extatic, she's such a good character, but she's barely in the film, about 3 seconds if i'm not mistaken!!
a few things did actually make sense, however. callisto and storm's battle scenes, for example, an age-old tradition in the comics as well as wolverine and colossus' "fast ball special".
a total flop as far as character development and storyline goes!!! the film-makers should know that what makes the x-men great is the characters and their relationships and views and not what powers they possess. it certainly adds to the characters, but should not be the main focus of the film!!
where is Bryan singer?????????
