X-Men 3: WARNING SPOILERS
On the whole, I give the movie a 3/5. People that saw the first two (and comic books geeks in particular) do need to see it, but it's not good enough to qualify for "Legendary" status.
I liked the lack of one-liners, but Halle Berry is still not the correct person to play Storm. She lacks the sense of personal resonance and majesty that Storm possesses. The movie had good combat scenes (especially the big battle), save for at the very end. Having Logan kill Jean Grey was just bad art, in my opinion. The guy who played Hank McCoy did a fantastic job, both with the language and the physical impression he gave. I would have liked him a little more erudite, though.
Both Heather and I were unhappy with the ENTIRE Warren Worthington plot-line. It was pretty limp, from the get-go to the go-out. Quoth the Girl, "It was awful."
I'm VERY unhappy with the end of the movie; the entire last 15 minutes was badly written, poorly scripted and had lousy art. I'll wait until more folks have seen it before I rend it asunder.
The legendary Fastball Special was in the movie, but they sort of screwed it up.
Also: trailers for Ghost Rider and a wire-fu movie called Fearless. Those are looking Great!
