Well, just got back from X3. Very fun movie. Lots of good action. The only problem is the main things to talk about in the movie give away a lot, so I can't discuss them yet.

One thing to remember when you go see it, stay through the credits...

In retrospect, one thing that I really liked about the movie is that they did a very good job with the teasers of misguided fans into what was coming. Sure certain major things were known, but a lot of detail would specifically make you think different things were to occur.

In the way of nitpicking (that which I can do without giving stuff away). Angel, yes he's in, but he plays such a minor bit that it's kind of disappointing. I would really have liked to see him with a much larger part. Also, where was Nightcrawler??

Definitely worth watching, they do set up for sequels, but there are major character elements that will need to be resolved for one, several are hinted at or shown, but a couple will need help.

Overall, I loved it.

I saw X3 last night at the midnight showing. The film was wonderfully shot and played with many dramatic scenes. Often (quasi-)sci-fi films suffer heavily from shortcuts around realism that are difficult to endure, thus damaging suspension of disbelief. This film had few, if any, of those moments, and, on the other hand was played with several stylized, and highly poigniant character developments that leaves one affected and breathless in the way only a film of this integrity can on opening night. The chemistry between the cast was pretty much universal. Overall my favorite characters in this film were Angel (ditto about his small role) Gene, and Wolverine.

4/4 stars.
