Goofs:
Continuity: At the final battle, when the X-men are lined up, Wolverine is too far forward from the light pole to just swings back and cut (as he does) so it falls onto the attacking mutants. When the pole is falling down, the lights are still on, even though the power line should be cut through. Then as Wolverine is fighting off more mutants, the light pole can be seen right behind him still up.See more »
Quotes:
[first lines]
Eric Lensherr:I still don't know why *I'm* here. Couldn't you just make them say yes?
Prof. Charles Xavier:Yes, I could, but it's not my way. And I would expect you, of all people would understand my feelings about the misuse of power.
Eric Lensherr:Ah, "power corrupts" and all that. Yes, I know, Charles. When are you going to stop lecturing me?
Prof. Charles Xavier:When you start listening. And you're here because I need you.

What happened to the story?, 30 May 2006
Author: clculus from United States

I saw this on the first night it was out, and I left feeling so disappointed. Something was missing, everything was missing. As afaithfulday noted, the first two movies were good, the third was mostly clichéd Hollywood crap. The only thing it had going for it was a little bit of suspense/tension, but that was not enough.

In the first two movies, there was a resonating story, strong themes woven throughout. In this one, it seemed to be all about cramming in as many witty one-liners and special effects as possible. There were a few weak attempts at stringing a story together, but it was so choppy and rushed there was almost no continuity. I left the theater thinking that there had to be a super-extended DVD release in the works, because what I had just seen couldn't possibly have been release-worthy.

What a shame. It could have been (should have been) so much more.
