X3

I just reread my X2 review... and we watched X3 last week.

In my previous review I lament the fact that Cyclops was in it for like 15 minutes and end by saying that the movies would shine as a series where each episode focuses on different characters. Well, guess what? Cyclops is in it for like 5 mintues this time AND DIES. And the rest of the movie pretty much focuses on Wolverine again. They bring out Colossus again and treat him as one of the team, but did he actually do anything? Not really. And Beast wasn't as cool as he could've been... not intellectual-speak enough. X-Men Evolution got him right I think. Oh, and Angel is in this new movie... sorta. The bit at the very beginning showing Angel 10 years ago, played by a kid, was the best acted scene from the whole movie... On the Brotherhood side, the androgynous trio... who the hell were they? We didn't even catch all their names.
