Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoeBlank" data-source="post: 2864782" data-attributes="member: 1806">I saw the movie last night. Liked it, but not as much as the first two.One caveat, I seem to be far more forgiving that the usual internet nit-picking geek. Not that I don't pick nits, and I'm certainly geeky, but I set out to have a good time when I go to the movies, and I usually manage to allow myself to enjoy the flick.For example, I thought Daredevil and Fantastic Four were pretty decent movies. But I join in the universal hate for Elektra, which I watched on DVD until I fell asleep, and never finished.The biggest plus I give to X3 is that they got the feel of the characters. Individually, I thought the characters were well portrayed, and the cast selections were good. Beast was great, except that it took me a long time not to picture Frasier when I heard him speak. Colossus was very good. Kitty was pretty near perfect. But like others I would have liked to see a little more of some of the supporting cast, and a little less Wolverine. I like the character all right, and Jackman does a great job, but the guy is already getting his own movie. Let some other shine. And while I was impressed at first with the decision to off Cyclops, upon reflecting I think it had too many negative consequences. The death showed that this movie was playing for keeps, and made Phoenix more interesting. But the result was that Storm took over the group lead role, and Wolverine became the love interest who has to do the right thing. I don't like Storm, at least not in the movies, mostly because I don't much care for the actress. And Wolvy already had enough to do. Here's hoping that the move forward with the franchise, and the next movie can focus on the background characters more. A cameo from one or two of the big wigs, followed by a good romp with Colossus, Kitty, Rogue, Angel, and maybe Iceman and one or two newer characters would be a good show. And they wouldn't have to pay any high-priced stars.</blockquote>
