ALMOST AS BAD AS CATWOMAN OR FANTASTIC 4!!! WE SHOULD BOYCOTT THIS DVD!!! DON'T BUY IT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S AN X-MEN MOVIE!!! YOU'RE LETTING THE STUDIO WIN, THEY KNOW THAT THEY CAN RELEASE ANY OLD HUNK OF RUSHED, RATNERIZED TURD AND THE SHEEP WILL BUY IT!!!

woa, dude, what did you think was so bad about it!!?? Some things were dissapointing, but in NO WAY was this the worst film in 10 years. If you honestly think that, you dont see many movies.

wasn't that great...

the movie tried to focus on two topics and neither had potentially established...

but ok. comic book version to put in the collection lol

it's surely not great, but not as close to be as bad as Catwoman...

Also FF had Jessica Alba!!!!!!!!!

Although I think this is the third "best" in the trilogy, I totally agree with you that it totally "rapes" Superman Returns. That movie was a disappointment and a half. I think they messed up the 1 disc cover art though, but it doesn't matter... I'll be picking up the CE.

Oh my god, this was one of THE worst movies I've seen this year. I was pissed off at 10 minutes into it. It doesn't carry over the stories started in X2. Jean as Phoenix is completely wasted. She juststands aroundlike a terminator with a blown fuse. The Iceman/Pyro feud is given about 5 minutes screen time, and THAT justends in a head-butt. Yes, a frigging head-butt! They kill off characters, justso they can pose their movie as "edgy". Then they top everything off at the end by suggesting "eh, maybe all that DIDN'T happen..." Hey FOX, thanks insulting the audiences intelligence. I never had a problem with Ratner until this movie. He has about 20 shots of forest tops, TRYING to give this movie an "epic" feel. He basically just tries to copy Singer's style, which SOUNDS like a good idea, but its like watching someone trace the Mona Lisa and saying "hey, that's pretty good! it almost looks like the real thing."
Just everything about this movie blows. the cure storyline is never fleshed out. I think we all agree that Halle Berry is the worst actor/actress in the whole series, but they make Storm the main X-Man character, and its just an obvious attempt to please Berry's ego. She is made team leader and possible future Head-Master, even though she has done NOTHING in the movies to suggest she is capable of handling either duties. Cyclops is brushed aside merely because Marsden is in Superman. Beast, Angel, and Juggernaut are ALL wasted. The Omega mutants suck and are pointless. Wolverine is turned into a complete moron. I mean, I can go on and on....The way I figure is if your a fan of the X-men comics, you should and probably DO hate this movie, but if the extent of your knowledge is from the movies, you'll like this, but I can't see how,because it insults the intelligence of any viewer with an IQ over 7, and doesn't reward you with our patience over the cliffhanger endings of the 2nd movie.
On that note, I will be, unfortunately, be buying this movie, because I HAVE to finish the trilogy, and I am a dvd and comic-book w***e.
NOW,if someone can please explaing to me HOW this garbage is even REMOTELY better than the first two, or even a half-way decent movie in general.
And by the way.....Superman Returns (save for the continued c**ppy version of Lex Luthor) was really, really good. Even the romance....you spooks.

errr is it just me or is famke's head on the standard version abnormally large????!!!!

SWEET!!!

im getting the collector's edition

Agreed that DVD stinks of a re-release. Where's the rumoured extended cut? Where's the DTS? Where's the second disc of extras?

I'm waiting to see what's released internationally, fingers crossed the UK at least gets the proper DVD.

Also agreed the cover art is a bit lame.

Angel never wore an X-Men suit and that Trilogy box set just looks like all 3 in a box (i.e - not a proper box set). I've always hated that stupid X2 retitle for the North American market, clearly was to keep Bryan Singer happy but it was so unneeded. The rest of the world just called it X-Men 2.

I definate buy, but I'd say there was issues with this move.  I liked it, but they tried to cram to much into the film, and therefore did not have time to develope the individual stories as good as they could have.  There was enough 'ideas' in this flick for three movies.  Most of it rocked, but the rest just did not have time or room to rock.  So much in so little time.

I smell a double dip folks. There is no doubt we will be a X3.2, no doubt about it.

I never got to see this, but from everyone I know who did see it loved it. I personally can't wait to see it on DVD. Definite rental, but will hold off purchasing until the "real" 2-disk is released.

Buddy, you are just pissing off the "Superman Returns" fans here (including myself). You are asking to be flamed, and you really don't want that.

I liked the movie, but like the first, it wanted to cram in as much story and characters in a short running time as possible. The second one was better in terms of a better story and scope, but the third one was better-paced and a bit more satisfying than the first. If anyone is going to put the blame on someone, it is the screenwriters (Brett Ratner did a fair job of maintaining the look, overall acting and tone of the first two films, but he can be blamed for wanting to keep the running time under two hours) for trying to do too many things at the same time. Still, I like it.

I prefer "Superman Returns" (as that movie had a more dramatic story and better-paced) over "X3", but the DVD release stinks of a double-dip -- they should've released a 2-disc set from the get-go (like "X2".

Play are advertsiing the R2 version as '2 disks' so I will be picking that one up I think.

Believe R3 will get the 2-disc w/ collectable pkg. just like the HK Fantastic Four w/ model...

I was so amazed how well this film turned out.  The webmaster of a site I visit frequently hit it right on the head in his review:  This was in fact a revenge project against Bryan Singer for leaving during pre-production to do Superman Returns.  This film was written, filmed, and rushed out the gate to beat Superman to theaters, and is much better, IMO.  Even though everyone I saw it with griped about everything not being accurate to the comics, it all worked as a film.  Great acting, great story, SPECTACULAR visual effects, awesome music (in my car right now, LOL) this has been my 2nd favorite film of the summer.  X-Men was good, X2 was excellent, this was really good.  

Oh, and FYI, Ratner has already stated that there will be a Director's Cut of this.  He claims there was quite a bit cut, but not for time constraint reasons.  He wanted these scenes specifically for the DVD...

This film was pure c**p from beginning to end. It had a grand total of two scenes that had the same quality as the two previous movies. And while Superman Returns was just barely decent, at least it felt like a real film and not some rushed tv production.

art work sucks   what happened to beast and why is angel on the cover  he was in the movie for a minute literally  can we collectively retcon this movie and do it the right way  I'm still buying it cause I'm the juggernuat B#@%h
