X3.. Was It Really Worth It?

Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2006)

X3 as a fan of the comic and the films, I feel kinda ripped off. Having endured and exciting lead up with a lot of expectations of this film offering up ideas we've wanted to see happen, eg Danger Room, I was really excited about this fill, however their was a lot to be desired. X3 had some great moments, and many things that will make the comic fans yell "Hell yes!" But the ending has left me with a sense of 'this is gay' and hostility, not a good way to 'end' the series Certain cameo's are half assed and you wonder why they didn't do them properly when there was no reason for them to not to be. Other characters are seriously under used and sub lines that could have been better developed. Given the short running time it does leave you with the "why did they?" and many ambiguous answers, if this truly was the last stand I don't feel a sense of closure, or that nice "things will be okay" that you want to see, or at least get a feeling of.
There was a lot of potential, and I just feel it wasn't reached. Its worth seeing, but nothing to really write home about.
