This Movie's Score is Misleading

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2006)

I am one of thousands of people who have come to rely on IMDb's rankings to get a decent approximation of how good, or bad, a movie is. This movie is definitely the worst of the three, it is still worth watching in the theater, but it is undeserving of a ranking better than the original. The X-series is never going to set any cinematic history for dramatic dialogue but the dialogue/interplay appeared particularly contrived in this installment. To be honest, it seemed that those reprising their roles had really settled into their characters, yet the character dialogue and interaction felt below average. I must say that the critics who claimed that the absence of Singer would be the death knell of the series may have a point. In the other episodes I felt that the movie was cinematically sound, but lacking some experience in some of it actors and lacking plain old talent in others. This time... well let's just say that I'm not going to blame Halle Berry for this one.
