snikt.

i caught x3 last night with paolo and edwin, and i'm sort of sitting in the middle of hating and loving it. there were so many references and tidbits that an x-men fan would've picked up on, and there were moments of brilliance. then again, it felt a little campy and less fetching than anything bryan singer had anything done. i can't say for certain if brett ratner did a good job; i have to say that i'd have waited a year for singer to come back and finish his take on the x-men.

story goes that marvel was peeved that he left the project to go to superman returns (gotta watch that) and replaced him with the guy who directed...rush hour 1 and 2. another story goes that they couldn't wait a year for him to begin x3.

all i can say was that i left the cinema thinking that it could've been better, but was probably good enough (my love for mutants makes everything alright).

at least it makes me wanna dig up my old x-men comics. and watch x1 and x2 again.

by my stars and garters.
