Had a coupon to rent a DVD for free, so I decided to waste it on a movie I've already seen in the theatre. Smart move, huh? I'll likely end up owning it, but I wanted to see it again, NOW, as I've been heavily influenced by the TV marketing.

the 10 DELETED scenes probably aren't all that big a deal,but I am curious as to the 3 'different' endings. How different? This should be interesting. I hope.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

It was good, but I'm surprised you would like it, AU, given it's 'bad-guys-in-government' mentality.

I've read the different X-Men comics and I am not used to seeing them so young. Rogue is much older now. So I felt kind of lost watching this last movie. Someone told me I should have stayed for the credits because they had a surprize in it. So I guess I missed out on what is coming next.

That you did, the clip after the trailer is only about 10 seconds long, but, it is fairly important. Make sure you paid close attention during the movie though.

Hello FWBBrowncoat:

I will have to rent it now and watch the end. I very occasionally stay to watch the credits. Only when the theater is so crowded you might as well sit and wait for the crowd to clear.

Thank you for verifing that for me.

I didn't like this one as much as the others. It seemed to try to cram too much action and drama into seemingly random moments. The god of momentum would not have been pleased had my opinion counted. Better than a lot of things, but not as good as a number of others. I liked seeing Colossus though. He's one of my favorite characters, but I wondered why they didn't have his Russian accent. Anyways, go see it, it was good, but don't miss the other two.

I liked 3, but face it, it was a mess.
2 was a mess also, just a more coherent mess.
1 was the only great one IMO.

The only thing that I really had a problem with in X3 was

Select to view spoiler:

the death of Cyclops. Not so much the he died as the relatively little attention that was paid to it.

I consider X2 to be one of the best superhero movies yet (along with Batman Begins and Spider-Man 2). I thought X1 was good, but about 30 minutes shorter than it should have been (due in large part to a budget and scedule cut just as production started).

I liked 3, but found it very frustrating. Lots of cool ideas introduced, none of them explored very well. As someone said above, just too much crammed-in.

That, and I felt the last scenes (the one just before the credits, and the one after) were a total cop-out, leaving them a way to reverse two of the most signifigant events in the film/franchise.

Yeah, I gotta agree. It's like they put in just enough to kinda sorta give the viewer and idea of all the sub plots which were going on, but mostly left them alone to get to the end.
