Color me disappointed. They had way too many second-tier mutants I've never heard of, plus I lost all suspension of disbelief when the movie had Magneto shifting the Golden Gate bridge to link with Alcatraz. Check out any online atlas and you can see that is geographically impossible.

Number two was still a better movie in my opinion.
Nope, you're not! I thought this one was far heavier on the action than the plot and as such it was a little less interesting for me than the other two. Seemed to me they just killed off quite a few (or took away their mutant traits) who might have complicated things or made for a more intersting story. But that's just my take (and I never read the originals either).

Not that it was a bad movie by any means, I did enjoy it. I just didn't find it as good as the other two- was a little bit of a let down for me. My husband liked it but he's a fan of the old comics and noted all the same things others did about what was or wasn't true to the original comic versions.

<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#009999">Thats true there was some really bad directing in this movie. Also in the same scene it went from day to night in the snap of a finger. I try not to quibble to much about these things and still enjoyed the movie even though it was possibly the worst of the three. I think my favorite was the first, not sure why though.</font>

Synger should have stuck to X3. I think the two superheroe movies of this year were mediocre to say the least.
