Reader Reviews There's nothing wrong with a bit of mindless, escapist entertainment from time to time. But I've just about had it with today's crop of mind numbing, CGI infested, super hero stink-fests! I thought the original X-Men movie was a decent, big budget "B-Movie". The second film was a typical sequel, and ended up being a step down from the original. This third installment is both poorly written and poorly directed. It's a simple "by the numbers" sequel that leaves a LOT to be desired. If all you're looking for is CGI effects, then maybe you'll enjoy this mess. Don't expect to actually care about ANY of the characters in this film, because the script writers obviously didn't. It seems they were too busy thinking up mindless battle scenes. Also, whatever you do, don't actually THINK about the "powers" that some of the characters possess, or you'd soon realize that if they actually USED them, most of the action scenes wouldn't even last a few minutes. I actually collected X-Men comics back in the late 70's and early 80's, and I can tell you that there was more character depth in the pages of each one those thin comics than in this entire film! JM
