X-Men 3

Jubilee was in the first two movies but I don't think she had any speaking parts. She also had a deleted scene in X-2. Was Psylocke a baddie? There was a blue haired girl who came out of a wall in Alcatraz but I thought that was based on a Morlock character that did stuff like that, in the comics she had rainbow swirls around her all the time. If it wasn't her then where was Psylocke? I do agree it could have been longer,

In response to your question Neurolanis, reactions are clearly mixed among the Comic (and cartoon) fans. This may sound contradictory but althought it wasn't the best movie of the the three, I enjoyed it the most. It was the first movie with all of the original X-men in it and although it could have used some polishing, there were some great moments and some good story telling.

the first X-men film was really good. I have to agree with you there.
now let us remember what has happened to other cartoon movie cross overs.
ahem, need i say batman

Psylocke as a baddie! OMG! What happened? Was she in X-3 did I miss it? She has got to be my favoirte character of all time. If she's in it I'm going to have to go back and see it again.

Yeah, she was that asian woman with the purple hair. I didn't know that until I was reading up on the movie on wikipedia.

I treat the film as a seperate thing to the comics, I'm not really expecting it to be exact but I would have preferred some consistency. =/ I didn't like Ratner's directing; some things were well done but overall it was too rushed. -_-

Psylocke is supposed to be a Britt.I used to love her when she wore the body armor and a hooded cloak but then they had this really convoluted story line that somehow changed her into a ninja chick in a thong. I guess that sold more books to adolescent boys. Well I saw a blue haired girl but not purple, I'll have to see it again, or wait for the DVD. Oh welly, the movies have lots of "suposed to" things

Finally got to see this one! I was both delighted and disapointed. I seriously disagree with killing off Cyclops and Jean Grey ... call me a sentimentalist, but I think there's enough tragic endings in real life. If someone central had to die, why not Wolverine? I mean, he's probably my favorite X-Man (besides Cable), but he is a war-loving somewhat suicidal killing machine ... it only makes to sense, to me anyway, that we would die by the end of the war. I would have had Jean Grey lose her powers and stay with Cylops (and the way he was killed I kept expecting him to turn up alive!) And I certainly wouldn't have let Mageto live ... I just felt that the story was rushed or something; more thinking could have been placed in it... Also I felt Rogue should have had a larger part. And where is Gambit her hubby anyway? I always thought they made an awesome couple... And where was Sabertooth? Was he in the second one?

On the plus side, I agreed that Xavior had to die, and I liked the Ice Man V.S. Pyro part, I liked seeing Juggernaught do his thing (and felt that his scenes were cleverly written), I enjoyed seeing the height of Magneto's powers, and I enjoyed seeing just how powerful Phoenix (Jean Grey) really is, and the storm of her soul ( I just felt that there should have been some resolve to it, besides death...) I enjoyed the FX, the characters, the intensity ... but with some major disapointments in there my feelings are ultimately mixed between satisfied and disapointed..
