With Ratner you gain more and better action scenes, but you lose the suspense and the script quality that you had with Singer. For comic fans, first two movies are like Claremont's point of view, and the last one is more like Jim Lee's visuals mostly.

i saw x-men 3 and it wasnt that hot first of all what was with angel, i was getting really interested in his storyline and they just completely cut him out of the movie. The next time you see him is all the way in the end which sucked. The sentinel was really corny all you saw was the head which sucked. cyclops dies in the first 10 minutes so what was the point of even casting him to be in the movie. The so called phonexix was so dumb it was just to me dark jean all it was. And the so called war at the climax was so corny i dont even consider that a war. you wanna see a war check out lord opf the rings the two towers and get back to me. Rouge getting cured was garbage, juggernaut sucked, mystique getting cured sucked. No surprise this movie was a big letdown. Brett Rattner stick to your rush hour series.

It was pretty good but if you think it was the best movie ever made then you probably only started watching movies a week ago.
