just saw the 3rd x-men movie, x-men: the last stand. i was worried it would be called x-men: the last gland. it has major suck potential with the brett ratner directing. but hey - it didn’t! it was good. my two nerd thumbs are up! there’s a good opening scene, famke janssen, nice action sequences & fights, the use of the phrase ‘oh my stars & garters’, lots of surprises, & more famke janssen. me likey! so there you go. go see it! and here’s a big tip if you’re planing to see the movie: definitely stay after the credits roll to the very end of x-men: the last stand. there’s a very key scene at the end. so stay.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!
Despite ratcheting my expectations WAY down for this movie…and they were already pretty LOW, i was still startled at how LAME this movie was. other than a few glimmers of potential, i thought this was a sloppily made, bombastic mess with almost none of the qualities which made the first two X-films so enjoyable. Just one useless subplot after another.. ( Angel and his Dad? please. lame. Iceman/Rogue/Kitty love triangle? lame.lame.lame.) Plus tons of USELESS B-grade mutants that did nothing but distract from what the movie SHOULD have been about…DARK PHEONIX!! i mean COME ON!@ Ratner just couldn’t decide where to put the focus and the movie just rambles and blasts and jerks it’s way around and left me feeling nothing.. nada. zip. what a shame.
i won’t even get started on the TALL wolverine SHORT storm rant…
lame.
if you want to see a good movie this summer, go see CARS.
hey fury, great site.
i have to agree with Derek. X3 was a mess. new characters were “ok” to “lame”.
c’mon, angel barely looked better than the angel in Barbarella. action scenes were not well shot. nothing came close to the nightcrawler intro. character developement was at a bare minimum. what happened to cyclops!! off camera actions that need to be explained through dialog is bad filmaking. so many nits to pick, i won’t be able to stop so i’m cutting it short here.
sorry for my rant in my first post, love the site!!!
dude …. i can’t believe you just plugged for CARS.
whuut?
yeah, yeah, wouldn’t want to promote a quality picture or anything…
….how about i plug another, non-pixar picture that i saw last week and loved….THE SQUID and the WHALE…GREAT dysfunctional family drama with 0% CGI…awesome.
keep in mind this is coming from the star of The Visage. time to post some clips …
Im with you Mr. Monster, CARS is gonna be sweet. As was Over the Hedge.
Just to refresh everyone for another movie im looking forward to…..
SNAKES ON A MUTHA FUCKIN PLANE BITCHES!!!!!!

AUGUST 18TH!!!!
peep out http://www.snakesonablog.com/ for TONS of poetry, songs, comics and fan CLOTHING!!!!!!
they showed a Snakes on a Plane trailer at the showing i went too, and at least 5 people clapped and hollered..i guess it was late.
wow, fury, summoning the Visage…that movie would have been BRILLIANT if i’d only had the line : ” I’M JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!!”
ah, that was truly beautiful to behold, oh my film-obsessed home-brethren: the way in which SOAP was invoked to heal the rifts between an otherwise contentious crew…
divisiveness be gone!
in watching the x-men 3 movie again, i have to concede with much of what derekmonster was saying. it was pretty bad. like when someone in a room with you farts and out of politeness you try to not notice it, but you can’t because it smells really really bad? yeah, that kind of bad. now, i am questioning my ability to make proper judgements. i feel my life unraveling .. falling apart … all because of getting caught up in the hype of this shitty movie.
