How could any TRUE FAN be disappointed with X 3!?!

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2006)

If you are unwilling to accept that Hollywood will always take creative license to a project, than you have already set yourself up for disappointment, X-Men or otherwise. They would like to keep the entire audience guessing what is to come next, only making references to what "fans" would already be familiar with( like Morlocks, or Juggernaugt Vs. Wolverine, etc.) but twisting it, in hopes that you too (the fans) will be surprised, or pleased that Hollywood at least included your 'mundane' favorite characters or plot.
To achieve a story that can summarize, in the case of the X-men, a fictional world that has spanned over 20 years of development, into a single movie or a series would require some "healthy" alterations to already developed, and known plot designs. How could anyone claim that they didn't capture the complete awesome power of the Dark Phoenix? And they used several angles of different character's awareness or powers to set the stage for this being, and everyone else's burden in relation to it. Everyones interaction and relationship development was completely believable and consistent. (As in Eric turning on Mystique when you-know-what happens, and that we aren't done with her yet, also, as she continues to interact as... I'm giving way too much away!)
This series has several actors already locked in contracts for 5 movies. Sorry if that's a spoiler (it should be a thriller to a true fan!) In a quintuplet that is being released over several years, you can't get all of your character development in on the first movie, because you want every movie to hint, and fore-shadow to future plot development, ALONG with the character's. I felt the first movie was too forced in character, and story development, and I'm glad they slowed the pace. If you have never been exposed to The Dark Phoenix Saga, The Executioner's Song crossover series, The Rise of Apocalypse, or Cable: The Man From the Future, then sit back, and stop criticizing a story that has yet to be even HALF told! Mark my words, the XMen series will be the greatest comic movie series EVER!
