You know, the first 30 minutes or so actually aren't so bad, despite Ratner's obvious downgrade in direction ability and Scott's unneeded death. But sadly, it's all downhill from there. With Ratner as director, everything here is just slightly worse. The writing is worse, the direction is less creative, and the social commentary aspect is even more watered down than before.

After a brief respite in "X2" (2003) we have reverted to the rather procedural and unexciting format for this third instalment of malevolent mutant-mayhem. This time "Magneto" (Sir Ian McKellen) is outraged when the human government develops a top secret cure for mutants.

I'm surprised to see a big drop in average rating for this. I enjoyed <em>'X-Men: The Last Stand'</em> to be honest.

The unique concept of the X-Men is that humanity is starting to evolve to the nextver mais...

X3 is a complete disaster. Worst X-Men movie ever. See rant below: Not only is the Phoenix storyline butchered, but the script rewrites the personalities of its key characters. Since when were Cyclops, Xavier, and Magneto such assholes? Halle Berry's demand for more screentime basically means she shows up in more scenes. Her character has no arc and often says lines that contradict what she saiver mais...
