    A diverting mix of insight and spectacle, human and superhuman. This machine is built for kids, but rarely do words like "noble," "Hollywood" and "rawkin'" all apply to one movie.

    The best new addition to the corp is Alan Cumming’s Nightcrawler.

    What the movie needs more than anything is a script. The story is very disappointing and near the end, things start to get weirder and weirder.

    I’m giving this “X-men film” a 2, I tried really hard to like these films, I really did, and although I despise them all, I will say this one is the best out of the three, however it ironically annoys me the most because this one could have had a chance, but alas again they changed too much/left too much out i.e. Why was there no reference to the fact that Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike/Yuriko were ex lovers, and that the reason she became Lady Deathstrike was because she blamed Wolverine for her fathers death, the man who developed the adamantium bonding process for Weapon X. it’s funny AKA stupid how they could leave something like that out. Why wasn’t Sabretooth in this film? It would have made more sense then him being in the first film, since he was also an experiment of Weapon X, but I guess it wouldn’t have mattered anyway; they wouldn’t have referenced his involvement with Weapon X like they didn’t with Lady Deathstrike. One last thing, why did Colossus have an American accent? He is meant to be Russian, It may be a small detail to some people, but the small things add up.… Expand
