Here's where I chime in to defend the first two X-Men films which were very well done.

X-Men was servicable, even well done in places. I own it, I watch it. It signifigantly toned down and underused the gang's powers, but it had a good story.
X-2 was a slick, well produced, great looking mess. Singer can't direct action, so he lets others handle that, so you get this uneven junk copied from other movies! Pyro vs. the cops was from Firestarter! The X-Men's jet was Firefox! The fight scenes are Matrix! The end of the movie with the voiceover is Star Trek 2!!!
Magneato can STOP a plane in flight, but can't stop missles?!
And is Professor X gonna be unconcious for most of X-3 too???
I could go on for paragraphs, but you get the point.
I'd sell my copy of X-2 if Kelley Hu wasn't in it.
You want a good comic book movie? Try Spider-man, Batman, or Superman, The Movie.

X-3 will rock, though Chrisisall

I personally really enjoyed the first two X-Men movies. Up until Batman Begins, X-2 was my favorite comic book movie. I though the Spider-Man movies were a bit cheesy. Plus, they helped a lot of actors' careers (even if they did then ruin them again i.e. Van Helsing, Darkness, I-Spy).
I was looking forward to X-3 unti I heard two of the worst words that can be associated with any movie: "Brett Rattner." He's such an egotistical and naive director. His commentaries are filled with phrases like "when I got the script this scene was really different and I made it so much better when I changed the wooden crates to Chinese statues. It brought so much more the the scene." If he can just copy his preceding director, like he did with Red Dragon, I think X-3 could be good enough, and I sounds like they're trying to compensate for his short comings with a strong cast. High hopes, low expectaions.

Totally disagree about X2 but I agree with your right to diasgree with me.

I loved it. Magneto's escape from his prison is one of the best scenes ever.

You wince at Magneto and the missles and yet you like Superman, The Movie. Did you see the flying around world and moving it back in time sequence? I didn't accept it as a third grader and I still don't buy it. It's a goofy movie that's fun to watch but I wouldn't put it at the top of the superhero movie heap.

Yeah, that was cool. There's a lot to like in X-2, like the mansion fight, I just get harsh with it because it could have been so much tighter. Spider-man 2 was the same, too much everything! Just tell a good story, then worry about how BIG it is.
And Superman is more fantasy than science fiction, so I'm willin' to cut it some slack.

Have I ever tried not being a mutant critic Chrisisall

Summer Glau, would be perfect for the role of Kitty Pryde, better then most other young actresses these days. I'm not sure about Maggie Grace dropping out of X3. I read in Wizard Mag that she was still in the running. If, Summer doesn't get the part, She GORRAM well should have!!
Those X-ecs, Have no Idea what they are missing if they don't cast Summer Glau as Kitty.
