Quick, Fun, and Dumb Entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2006)

X3 is superior to the first two, in my opinion. It has more action than the first, and a better story than the second. I was never bored, and generally entertained. However, it really doesn't cover a heap of new ground, and I'm not sure how much else can be done with the X-men series. How many more different kinds of mutants can they cough up, and how many different stories? Maybe they should seriously consider making this the final X-men movie, as partly hinted by the title. 'Beast' looked ridiculous and laughable, and the "mutants fighting each other" schtick is wearing thin. Ah, well. X3 is still quick, fun, and dumb entertainment. It'll keep you entertained while you watch it, but you'll likely forget it soon after you leave the theater. Maybe this is a better one to catch on DVD.
