REVIEW: Ratner's X-MEN 3 Not Singer Enough?

By Wind(up)bird May 23, 2006 5:28 AM

Michael Rechtshaffen of the Hollywood Reporter writes, "Brett Ratner has taken the reins, and though the picture is not without its wow-inducing, SFX-driven moments, that potent X-factor is considerably diminished in Singer's absence...with its underlying themes of sexual identity and alienation more pronounced than ever, is intriguing enough, "Last Stand" is more concerned about getting to the next special effects sequence than it is about tapping into those relevant undercurrents." Add this to the back and fourth-it sucks-it's great-it's ok X-Men 3 reviewers debate. Click on for this and more reviews.

Lets face it.  Superman is so fucking stupid compaired to   X-men.  Superman is just boring, at least the Mutants in X-men have a freakin weakness.  way more interesting.  I saw   X-Men3 and i was impressed.  They deffinitly left an opening for a 4th     X-Men.  Watch for the suprise ending after the credits and you'll see what i mean by that.  This 3rd movie is so far from what happened in the comics but who-cares, its just a movie people.  Go into this movie with an open-mind and you'll it!

Its pretty bad   reply

I love the first 2 installment but this is really crappy.  Things happen because it is "cool" and thats it.  Wanna see Jean turn evil and destroy things for no apparent reasons, watch it.  Wanna see dumb ass huge special effects , watch it.  Oh btw, birds were banned from this film because you know what, a mutant with wingas flying is more exciting.
