At least Magneto isn't listing an ENTIRE FUCKING SPORTS STADIUM and using it to encircle the White House. Oh wait. Well damn, what are the odds.

Meanwhile, Mystique has been around the world and she-she-she can't stop freeing mutants from persecution. As seen in several trailers, she saves Havok, Toad, Ink and someone I want to believe is Spike from X-Statix from being mailed to Tyrion Lannister for experimentation, and discovers most of the cool mutants from…

And so sexy Beast, sexy Professor X and sexy Wolverine head off to the Pentagon to bust out sexy Magneto, stopping along the way to pick up goofy Quicksilver — the best thing about this movie. Turns out Mags has spent the past ten years in a concrete pit for assassinating Kennedy. Despite being confined in a cell with…

That same serum somehow allows Professor X to walk, though when he's on it his powers are also suppressed. Having suffered so much loss in X-Men: First Class, Xavier decides he'd rather be a walking junkie than a rolling telepath.

Since the process would tear apart the traveler's mind they send Wolverine, who never had much of a mind to begin with. Logan falls asleep, and wakes up in the past. Naked.

I'm a woman in my early 30s and at least half of my best buddies from adolescence, high school and my 20's are men raised to respect women, and are therefore immensely respected by women.

That's a very good point, and I'd even take it one step further. When a guy who is actually a gentleman (or at least fairly decent and polite) tries to approach a girl, she has her guard up now because of douchebag chauvinists like the guys described here. Not to say that a nice guy being rejected by girls is the…

That's why this part of the article which uses the term "morality" piques my curiosity...

The movies all tend to be fairly boring to me. Very little joy seemed to go into their making.

What's wrong with that? Superman killed Zod in Superman 2.

I'm talking about the original Lee/Kirby run on X-Men, when the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants was Magneto, Toad, Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch, and Mastermind. That's my source for the characterization I described.

Yeah, I can't argue with the fact that consensus is on your side. But, I don't know, reading through all the comment-threads on this page, there are a lot more people than just myself who are saying, "you know, X3 really wasn't that bad." I'd say at this point it might have to be downgraded from "near-universal" to…

Great, thanks!

You are in the minority, unfortunately, but you're certainly not alone. I'm very happy to see I'm not the only one.

Hunchbacked medieval jester Toad would have been old school canon, but can you actually imagine it onscreen?

Yeah, but why? I've heard a lot more people saying "Brett Ratner sux, obviously," then actual reasons why everyone thinks that.

By having Wolverine kill Jean, it totally negates the purpose of the X-men.

I agree with Dan F. To me, the way the cure plot was handled in The Last Stand brought it into very interesting abstract philosophical territory; instead of just hitting you over the head with obvious "mutant = gay" metaphors, they let being a mutant be its own thing, and let characters react to it in the way that…

So refreshing to see I'm not the only one who liked The Last Stand better than the others. I don't understand the love for the second one (I don't hate it, I just thought it was kinda boring), and I think 3 made the best use of the team dynamic (heck, it was practically the only one that had any team dynamic to speak…

It's really just X3, Origins Wolverine, Spider-Man 3, and the Ang Lee Hulk that were objectively terrible comic book movies made in the last 15 years.
