OK here's an idea.... comic book fans....stay home and read your comics and let the rest of us go watch the movie without getting a bad taste for your commentary.
I agree that literature and things like comics should follow true to the how the story was written...or else its simply not the same story and cant carry the same title. But listen to our popular music nowadayz...specifically hip hop which "steals" music for previously written songs, adds in their own words and then calls the song the same thing as the original recording...as if it were a cover(??)
If X-men 3 doesn't follow true to the original concept of the comics...i blame you, the general public, for demanding so much from Hollywood. The directors decisions are based on what YOU would like to see in the theater and what will determine a marketable DVD.
One big problem with Hollywood has always been that the directors aren't only directing...they're writing and needless to say, "re-writing".
Um i thought thats why we had WRITERS and screen writers and the directors were there simply to DIRECT how the story should be put into visual form. Maybe i'm wrong but if i owned a major movie making company in Hollywood....a lot of over-payed suck ups would be weeded out from their directors chairs.
As far as the movie feeling rushed.....think of X-men 3 as a long commercial for the next movie. Rattner did his "job" and set us all up, leaving us all wanting MORE.
Personally, as a movie, i thought X-men 3 was great. I don't think i've read one review mentioning the suspense that was created in the scenes. Some of the events that took place in the story i was NO WHERE NEAR expecting!! And yeah the action was great but there was a lot of emotional drama in this sequel paired with tragedies that really would leave anyone with an once of a conscience in the theater seat very moved. And thats what film making as an art form is all about right? entertaining and MOVING the audience? Well i was both entertained and moved and X-men 3 will be the 1st movie i've gone to see twice in the same day this year because it was so good. Happy Viewing!
