Oh X-Men
By Sparky | June 5, 2006
Scott and Brien joined me for an evening out last night and we all went to see Xmen 3. I just have to say for the record that I’m rather disappointed in it. The first two movies were very well done, and had a good blend of story and special effects. Sadly this one was all about the special effects (which were pretty and mind blowing), but the story was simply no there. There are gaping plot holes, virtually no character development, and lots of unanswered questions.
Sadly this is not the real reason why I despised the movie. If you want to know the real reason keep reading, but I’m going to spoil something in the plot: They kill my favorite persona! Patrick Stuart (a.k.a. Professor Xavior) is killed before the first half of the movie is over. UNACCEPTABLE. I grew up watching Captain Jean Luc Picard and damnit if he’s not my hero. Killing him in any movie is simply out of the question - much less a sci-fi movie with links to Star Trek, the Next Generation.
Gripes aside I’m glad I saw it - it was pretty. Just pretty crap…
