X-Men 3

We were disappointed.  Just watched it on DVD, having not seen it in the theater.  It was fun, in its way, but strange too.

I assume they plan no further movies, but it’s interesting to picture how they would dig themselves out of the mess they created if they were to do one.  It would be easy to make the cure a temporary effect, for instance.

The ending was bizarre.  You expect Eric to be shown noticing his power starting to recover.  Or for someone of interest to show up at the table to play chess.  Or one of the opposing pieces to move itself (and maybe that’s the point, was he playing against someone not present, rather than awaiting an opponent?) inexplicably.  But nothing… it just cut off.

We were also disappointed with how insanely hard to navigate and read the menus are on the DVD.  I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one that bad.  And the extras wouldn’t play.  Going to the features menu and scrolling interminably to the alternate endings, selecting anything from those menus resulted in returning to the beginning of the features menu, rather than playing the choice.

1. From what I read there it seemed that the movie was doomed from the start.  First off Brian Singer didn’t direct it.  They decided on a release date before they even had a completed script. They rushed into filming before the script was complete, and had to shoot it at a insane pace to get it done on time.
   It almost seems like they had it out for this movie from the start. Its really to bad too. Even if some of the main people decided they didn’t want to do it anymore there are enough different Xmen that they could have kept the francise going.
   I havn’t seen it yet. 
   Oh well we still have spiderman untill they screw that up..
