I’m pretty sure that yesterday was the first time that I’d seen a movie in the theatres all frigging year so far, and I think I made a good choice when I decided to go see the third X-Men movie. If you’ve seen the first two, you’re already familiar with the weak plots offset by excellent special effects… well if you were okay with that, definitely put X-Men 3 on your list as well. If anything, the effects were significantly better than the past two movies, but the plot was at the same time weaker. No spoilers, but the use of mutant powers to do very clever things with the camera was most excellent, and at least for me this redeemed any of the badness caused by the crummy and often slow-moving plot.
