X Men 3

Came back not long ago from watching X Men 3. Was quite disappointed by it actually. I never read the comics and was never into X Men, but the trailer for the first movie looked good so I went along to that, really liked it and so went along to the second one and enjoyed it too (never expected to enjoy either movie that much). So was quite eager to watch the 3rd installment...

I think they should reclassify it as a comedy of sorts. I laughed at various points throughout the movie. Though I definitely was not expecting anything inspiring, but this movie still lacked any sort of vague emotional or intellectual appeal, or good characterisations as the first 2 movies did. Its merely an action movie with nice CGI effects, bad cheesy lines and an equally cheesy score to go with it. Maybe its something to do with the change in director (its a different director from X-men 1 & 2). The good points are Kelsey Grammer did pretty well as the blue hairy beast, and well... thats about it. And 2 things I learnt from the movie: "if the enemy is a mutant that can grow their arms back everytime you slash it off, then kick him where it REALLY hurts" and "stay in school".

My verdict? Its completely brainless and entertaining - and go with as little expectations as possible. But still, a disappointing way to finish the series. Oh, and stay till the end of the credits. There's a little clip that comes right after the credits are done (which also made me laugh out loud).
