man there was soooo many things i liked about this movie but hated (hates a bit strong ... maybe extremely disliked) at the same time. i thought it was good getting to see some new mutants n powers n stuff but ...*(spoiler)*....................................................................................................................................

 ,

*why the hell did the director have 2 kill three of the freakin main characters .. WHY!!! i mean ok scott (aka cyclops) was a pretty average character but still ... i dunno it was just weird how they didnt show it or anything (maybe there gonna bring him back? who knows ... ) n how many lines did halle berry (aka storm) have?!? bloody hell ... it was like halle berry in every scene .. i mean she's ok but there are more interesting characters (like pyro lol.. nah seriously he's way better)

well i hope this isn't the last one they make coz there was tonnes of things left unanswered!!! n im gonna be cut hardcore if they leave it with an ending like that!! n i mean the ending AFTER the credits ... thats just asking for a fourth xmen movie .. which they need 2 bring the original director of the first 2 back .. seriously (i really need 2 stop saying seriously)

but i still liked it lol ... /pyro was awesome!! n how cool was angel ... n jean grey/phoenix was a crazy woman ... dont mess with that chick!! i think i liked her better being part evil than good

anyway i betta go coz i SHOULD be studying for my psychology exam which is tomorrow... instead im writing about a movie adaption of a comic book (correction - several comic books).. man have i got my priorities right or what lol

YEH i thought that movie was totally awesome, but there were some things i didn't like aswell... They NEED to bring out a fourth one!!!!!!

I didn't really get why Magneto had to move the WHOLE bridge - a bit to over the top in some places ( i thought) but otherwise it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

I was surprised by the ending AFTER the ending, especially as all the press pre-release was that this was the end of a trilogy. I think their choices were actually very brave, Dark Phoenix is such a wonderful twist and the movie twist on the original was actually a welcome one for me. Last one? Hugh was slated to work on a Wolverine spin-off even as filing was still rolling on the set of X3, as his character receives the lion's share of fan mail and email it was no doubt a no-brainer for Fox. Plus of course my wife Leis wants more scenes with his shirt off and I'm sure the studio executives want her to stop calling them in the middle of the night... ,) Plus there have been several other spin-offs hinted at as the Marvel machine continues it's turn-around of fortunes, having once been on the brink of bankruptcy, it flexes more Hollywood muscle now than some of the more established production houses in the US film industry. [b]But wait! According to Movieblog[/b] dated January 2006:-
“It's the conclusion of this trilogy. These three movies work as a trilogy. These characters in this relationship, it's the culmination of that saga. It's the culmination and the resolution of those relationships laid out in the first two movies. That doesn't mean never, I would ever say never again, but I will say that this brings that saga to an end. It's quite the way the last Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, brought that trilogy to a conclusion in terms of those characters, that's what this movie does. It goes all the way back to the first one and rounds off and completes that three-part story”.

'The newer cast members are signed, and the older cast members are not,' Shuler Donner advised L.A. Daily News columnists Marilyn Beck And Stacy Jenel Smith. That would mean veteran cast members, such as Hugh Jackman, and Halle Berry, could be too expensive now for 20th Century Fox.
