I gotta see for myself,the big reason i like the movies are the music. I loved the rock mixs of the original theme music in MI2.

I didnt like MI2 either, I mean come on how can you turn around like that when your on a motorcycle (In the end now). And I can take a rock to the head without getting my skull split open, everyone can :P
Was lots of unrealistic scenes, not to mention the crappy soundtrack. Limp Bizkit made it if im not mistaken.

It was directed by John Woo, who just like does anything that he thinks would be cool and action savy.

Yeah i think thats it the one he is a general.



I just saw Fearless with Jet Li, what an amazing movie both fightwise and actingwise. 10/10 The fights are atleast as good as Fist of Legend the best Jet Li movie before Fearless.

It sickens me that a movie this good wont come to the cinema over here :(

I won't see it simply because I'm not a fan of lovey-dovey romance movies. Gay or straight, it really doesn't matter.

Saw Thank You For Smoking last night. Hillarious movie. Some great one-liners topped with other deeper jokes. It was casted just about perfectly. What did I do right after the movie? Lit up a smoke.

i want to see this as well!
but i think its one of those movies that will never make it to singapore cos its not 'blockbuster' potential.
i tried looking for torrents as well but it seems its not popular enough to be in torrent form as well.

It's out there, a crap-ass cam version. Absolutely awful quality. Guess you torrent kiddies don't see everything.

Since i gave X2 9/10 i give this movie 4.5/10.

SPOILERS

















Only thing was decent that was the end when Wolverine killed Phoenix cause she coulndt help cause of his healing factor healing faster for every strike. Some good action.



The problems with this movie is this. Too much wolverine,too much x-men stories in one movie,too many known characters from the comic being unused(Colossus,Angel),the end. Why the hell do that to Magneto and why kill three big characters when we all know its just a set up for a sequal,thats too Clichè....

I hated that most of everything that Colossus was on the team this time and in the big fight at the end but we never see him fight. Too much of Wolverine and Beast and Kitty going through walls(Yippi!!!... ):


It wasnt even half as good X2 storywise,just had more actions and more characters to ruin.

I thought X3 was fun, although definitely not as well done as X2. If the movie had been about a half hour longer, it could have been 10 times better, allowing for more expansion on the different characters. There were definitely a crazy amount of characters in the movie, which is basically a kind of fan-service, and not all bad, imo (there are so many charas in that universe that it would be impossible to fit them cohesively into a single movie, but on the other hand it is a little neat to see them make at least a cameo).

I didn't mind Wolverine being the spotlight, because he is Wolverine. I would have liked to see more Collossus action too, but at least he had some fun teamwork with Wolverine. I like Kitty, but she had too little screentime (as did most of the active X-men members).

A lot of people died in this movie though, which was awesome.

About cliches, umm... this is a world adapted from a comic book, the mother of all cliches. If you expect them to happen, then you won't really be bothered by them.

Yeah but three of them dieing at once that doesnt happen often and is even worse.


The action at the end was alright nothing more.


Colussos thing annnoyed me most cause why give him a bigger role if you dont give him the chance.

I mean did he even have a line and do something other throwing Wolverine. He is a big character from the comic,that many of the fans wanted to see him shine with power for atleast a couple of secs its that too hard.

Was a fake Calypso(all her powers in the movie they stole from Sage) or Spike guy more important than a famous character like Colossus.

In the comics wolverine isnt the main focus all the time,the movie folks thinks x-men comics is only about him. I mean save his action for his own who comes out next year. Dont get me wrong Wolverine is my fav X-men but this movie isnt his own.
