Surprised

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2006)

To me, the first two X-men movies were good and exciting but were not very in touch with the original comics. Little did I expect to be blow away by the intensity and excitement of the third one. With epic battle sequences, amazing special effects, and a great story line, I believe this movie really got in touch with the original comics. Whether it was the new director, the amazing actors, or just the shrill brilliance of the screen writers, I can not say, but I do think that just by looking at the movie's 120 million dollar gross on its first weekend can be proof enough of the movie's success. I expect this movie to do far better than the first two - no matter how good they were. I cannot wait to see if any more movies are to be made.
