just... lacking. don't know if it was the bad dialogue, or lack thereof, or the character underdevelopment, or how they tried to cram as much possible into the movie, but it just left me disappointed. good action though. good effects. nice to see some characters have a little more screen time, but it wasn't enough. ah well...

i was underwhealmed also.
my buddy's take on it was that they got so caught up in the 'mutant as a symbolism for gay' focus that they lost track of what made the series so popular up til now.
the focus on character developement was lost. Most comics - the ones people love - are nothing more than soap operas. People love to watch the characters evolve through interraction.
X-3 wasnt concerned with it (much the same thing happened in the 3rd Harry Potter movie)
technically they are good - lots of action and FX but lacking in heart.
re the 'gay' thing - i think he's dead on ... one guy even 'flew out of the closet'
