X-Men 3…I don’t know if I even want to go into this one. The whole film just felt like a series of clips, I couldn’t really put my finger on what was wrong, until I realised the problem is the film centred around wolverine and storm. Neither of them had character arcs in the film, really wolverine’s story ended in x2.
The other problem is the amount of characters in there, all vying for screen time. This seems to extend from the idiotic notion that this should be the last x-men film. A preferred route would have been to push the current players into the background and focus on the new ones, which it tried half way with Shadowcat and Iceman but it never really went all the way.
It’s not all bad Shadowcat and Colossus in action was fun. But really it’s not a great movie and the conclusion just left me indifferent.
