X-Men 3
Supposedly this is the last one in the series. Given that they just had the biggest Memorial Day weekend opening EVER, I'm sure you'll grant me a bit of skepticism.The two things to know before I start writing is:
1. I never read the X-Men comics. Chris did, and is more tied into the mythology, but I've watched all three without the previous history
2. I thought this was an entertaining summer flick, just not one that was as good as it's predecessors.
The main problem I had with this movie is that a lot of major characters have/do disappear from the story, or are transformed into something else, or take on new roles which removes a lot of the tension and interplay which was so good in it's predecessors. The characters who are then asked to replace the lost characters are either bit players in the previous movies, or non-existent in the previous movies, and you never get to know them here. And that's what keeps this movie from being a great movie and turns it into another formulaic summer action-adventure. The only really great relationship left is the one between Magneto and Professor X.
But the great part about the movie is that the two guys in front of us were dressed in a spiderman shirt and a superman shirt respectively. There are some constants in the world!
Update: La Vida Vica has her review here

how funny and it's interesting what you pulled out as the "important relationship in the film"...under the circumstances.
