Far from horrible...

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2006)

One thing you have to remember about the X-Men, is that it is about a group of heroes, not just one. Each sequel has introduced new characters, and in doing that, reduced the roles of others. It is hard to focus on everyone in just 2 hours. There was also a question about Scott Summers.... I think his fate was purposely left open, because maybe his character is still alive somewhere. The reason I say this, is because James Marsden, who plays Cyclops, wanted to do Superman Returns, which filmed almost simultaneously as X3, so they had to be creative on how to keep him out of this film with the possibility of bringing him back. I think that if there is another sequel, there will be some surprises on what actually happened to our heroes.
This movie was action packed, and fast paced, but the plot was not convoluted. Magneto got a lot of face time for a good reason...he is only the most powerful baddie out there right now. Wolverine is everyone's favorite, so of course he gets some good screen time.
Overall, this film was very enjoyable to watch! I recommend this on the big screen! Don't wait for the DVD!!!
